Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in an elevated rural setting near Noto, in the heart of Sicily, Italy, Dimora degli Ulivi is a modern and beautifully appointed vacation rental that offers an exceptional blend of contemporary design and natural surroundings. The property consists of 2 self-contained houses positioned side by side, each furnished in a colourful, contemporary designer style, together forming a cohesive and elegant retreat overlooking the scenic Val di Noto and the silver-green canopy of ancient olive groves. The villa has been subjected to a thorough check-up by a technical manager to ensure the consistency of the description, the accessories listed, and their present state of operation and maintenance.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces at Dimora degli Ulivi are thoughtfully designed to complement the natural landscape and maximise the enjoyment of the Sicilian climate.

A cold-water shower is also available on the pool terrace. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October.
