Nestled in the heart of the Vendicari Nature Reserve, just a few kilometres from the baroque splendour of Noto, Country House Vendicari offers an enchanting retreat. This elegant former farm, surrounded by over 20 hectares of citrus groves, olive trees, and fragrant Mediterranean plants, invites you to immerse yourself in the charm of Sicily. A stay here feels like stepping into a timeless haven where nature and history blend harmoniously.
As you step inside, you'll be greeted by interiors that exude Sicilian elegance and warmth. The villa boasts seven individually styled bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to celebrate the farmhouse's rustic charm while incorporating modern comforts. The main courtyard has three bedrooms, their French doors opening to the sunlight-drenched spaces. These deluxe doubles feature local tuff stone details and bathrooms with sleek glass-enclosed showers, adding a contemporary touch to their traditional ambience. The Gran Deluxe room, a masterpiece of the internal courtyard, is a sanctuary of vaulted ceilings, antique wrought iron beds, and calming tones—a tribute to Sicilian nobility. The remaining rooms combine terracotta, stone, and soft fabrics to blend tradition and modernity harmoniously.
Step outside, and the world opens up to rolling greenery and golden light. The estate is perfect for strolls among lemon groves, where the heady scent of citrus fills the air. A leisurely breakfast of seasonal fruits, fresh eggs, and local delicacies awaits you each morning on the terrace. Feel the Sicilian sun warm your skin as you relax by the inviting pool or explore the nearby Vendicari Reserve, where unspoiled landscapes and serene beauty rejuvenate the soul.
For a culinary adventure, enjoy dishes prepared by a personal chef or try your hand at Sicilian cooking in an engaging class. From relaxing moments in the countryside to indulgent meals and activities tailored just for you, Country House Vendicari promises a truly authentic and unforgettable holiday.
