A Restored Sicilian Villa Near Noto Is Listed for €5 Million

On the market with Italy Sotheby's International Realty for €5,000,000, this six-bedroom villa is set in the countryside just outside Noto, within the UNESCO-listed Val di Noto in southeastern Sicily.

The property is set within a landscape of olive groves and traditional dry-stone walls, typical of this part of southeastern Sicily. The surrounding terrain is open and low-density, with long views across the countryside.

The villa is based on a traditional Sicilian rural residence, now restored by a renowned architect into a contemporary country house. The intervention retains the structure’s original material character, using natural stone, warm-toned plaster, and handcrafted surfaces, while introducing a more controlled architectural language.

The interiors are arranged as connected living spaces, with the main room opening onto the landscape. The kitchen references Sicilian tradition in a more pared-back design. There are six en-suite bedrooms, each overlooking the countryside.

Outdoor areas include shaded verandas, landscaped gardens, and a swimming pool positioned to take in open views across the terrain. A formal Italian garden is set on a lower level, introducing a more structured layout within the grounds.

The property sits within the UNESCO-listed Val di Noto, a region known for its Baroque towns, including Noto, which was rebuilt following the 1693 earthquake. The surrounding countryside has become a focus for architect-led restorations, attracting international buyers to southeastern Sicily.
