In one of the city's most exclusive locations, directly above the Greek Theatre in Syracuse, stands a contemporary villa with an iconic character, fully renovated and extended.

The property, finished to the highest standard down to the last detail-including its building services-embodies contemporary luxury through bright, open-plan spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows and a seamless integration of architecture, wellness and technology.

Designed as a single grand residence, the villa is internally organised into three independent units, plus a guest suite, which can be interconnected as required.

A prestigious villa just a short walk from the Greek Theatre in Syracuse

Nestled in the unspoiled nature of the Vendicari Natural Reserve, this enchanting property is the result of the careful restoration of an ancient farmhouse.

The estate preserves the authenticity of historic rural Sicilian farmhouses, enhanced by thoughtful interventions that have made the spaces welcoming, functional, and bright, while fully respecting the original character. The interiors celebrate traditional Sicilian architecture through the use of local stone: exposed stone walls and finely restored wooden details create an atmosphere that is both timeless and genuine.

The property features spacious communal living areas with a fireplace, a generous outdoor patio, and two large internal courtyards around which the buildings are arranged. The six double bedrooms are all equipped with king-size beds and large en-suite bathrooms.

The farmhouse is part of a 35-hectare (86,49 acres) estate cultivated with lemons, oranges, olive trees, and wheat. The property is just steps away from the famous beaches of Calamosche and Marianeddi, an area of extraordinary natural beauty characterized by dunes, Mediterranean scrub, and pristine shores. A short drive away lies Noto, the renowned Baroque city recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, perfect for cultural, gastronomic, and artistic excursions.

Historic farmhouse in the heart of the Vendicari Natural Reserve

Just minutes from Noto, set within the countryside of south-eastern Sicily, the villa gradually reveals itself among olive trees, dry-stone walls, and Mediterranean light.

The project stems from a restoration and contemporary reinterpretation by an internationally renowned architect, who has restored the residence's original character while integrating a current, essential, and restrained design language. The architecture preserves the material strength of local tradition: natural stone, warm-toned plaster finishes, handcrafted floors, and surfaces that interact continuously with light throughout the day.

Interiors unfold as a fluid and continuous sequence, fostering spatial harmony and coherence. The living area, generous and filled with natural light, opens onto the landscape through large openings that strengthen the dialogue between indoors and outdoors. The kitchen, inspired by Sicilian tradition, is reimagined in a contemporary key through clean volumes, authentic materials, and a direct relationship with the exterior spaces. The villa features six en-suite bedrooms, each defined by balanced proportions and carefully framed views of the surrounding landscape. Modern furnishings coexist with antiques and works of art, creating a refined equilibrium between past and present, guided by a concept of understated, timeless comfort.

Outdoors, shaded verandas and thoughtfully designed gardens lead to the private swimming pool, positioned to offer expansive and far-reaching views across the countryside. Below, an Italian-style garden introduces a more formal and contemplative dimension. The property embodies a vision of living rooted in craftsmanship, quality, and a profound connection with its setting.
