This old country estate with private pool is located at the heart of baroque Sicily, between the towns of Noto and Palazzolo Acreide (both listed as UNESCO cultural heritage). Surrounded by a large, luxuriant garden, this dwelling is a wide complex built according to the local, traditional architecture that offers a wonderful view of the typical fields of grain, carob plants, ancient olive and almond trees stretching out as far as the eye can see. Tastefully restored, Villa Spiga has spacious, well appointed interior and exterior areas that merge the original, ancient charm of this estate with modern comforts. Its rooms, from the six cosy bedrooms, to the fine lounge with fireplace, to the country style kitchen, feature exquisite details and perfectly combine classical décor with more functional furnishings for comfortable living. Villa Spiga - ideal setting for anyone looking for rest and relaxation - is also an excellent starting point for discovering the beautiful surrounding area. Situated halfway between the Iblean Mountains and the coast of Syracuse, from the property can be easily reached many charming baroque towns, such as the island of Ortigia, the historical centre of Syracuse, Modica, Scicli and Ragusa-Ibla.

About the area
Noto, a baroque gem in the heart of Sicily, Italy, is a destination that captivates visitors with its architectural splendor and cultural richness. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Noto is the epitome of baroque art and architecture, with its streets lined with grandiose churches, palaces, and gardens that tell the story of its illustrious past.
The city's centerpiece is the Corso Vittorio Emanuele, a street that showcases Noto's most impressive buildings. The Cathedral of San Nicolò, with its magnificent façade and recently restored dome, dominates the skyline and is a testament to the city's resilience and dedication to preservation. Visitors can explore the cathedral and its surrounding buildings, each adorned with intricate carvings and statues that are a feast for the eyes.
Noto's architectural journey continues with Palazzo Nicolaci, a noble residence famous for its ornate balconies supported by mythical creatures and cherubs. The Palazzo Ducezio, housing the town hall, offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Sicilian aristocracy with its Hall of Mirrors.
Beyond its baroque beauty, Noto is also a haven for food enthusiasts. The city is renowned for its almonds and citrus fruits, which are used to create delectable pastries and dishes unique to the region. Visitors can indulge in local specialties such as granita, cannoli, and the famous Noto almond wine.
Each year, Noto hosts the Infiorata di Noto, a festival where the city's streets are transformed into a vibrant tapestry of flower petals, creating intricate designs and patterns. This event not only showcases the city's creative spirit but also its deep connection to nature and the surrounding Val di Noto countryside.
For those looking to explore beyond the city, Noto is an excellent base for visiting the pristine beaches of the nearby Vendicari Nature Reserve, a protected coastal area with crystal-clear waters and rich birdlife. The reserve is a perfect spot for hiking, bird watching, and enjoying the Mediterranean sun.
In essence, Noto is a destination that offers a rich blend of history, art, gastronomy, and natural beauty. It's a city that invites travelers to step back in time, savor the slower pace of life, and immerse themselves in the splendor of Sicilian baroque. Whether you're an architecture aficionado, a food lover, or simply in search of a picturesque escape, Noto promises an experience that is both enchanting and unforgettable.
