Rosemarino

Absolutely surrounded by a pedigree garden, native foliage, and stunning panoramic views of the natural landscape and the ocean beyond, this home in the beautiful Val Di Noto – of which the baroque cities are a UNESCO World Heritage – is the epitome of understated luxury. It’s in the barest of touches that this home shines. The fireplace, for one, where the glass panelling allows a hint of the outside to make itself known even when you’re relaxing indoors. You’ll also find that from the indoor jacuzzi, you get another glimpse of the outdoors through a large, square window, and those nuances make all the difference in the feel of this home.

Then there’s the landscaped garden and the precise way in which it all comes together, and the gorgeous views from the infinity pool, the inviting comfort of the outdoor furniture, and the wonderful mix of elegance and cosiness in the furniture. This home says relax, renew, restore, but do it in style, and we love that.

If you manage to tear yourself away – because honestly, simply having a cup of coffee out on the balcony will feel special here – then hike at Conca Del Salto, a four-minute drive away, where you’ll come across a gorgeous waterfall. There’s also a pizzeria a nine-minute walk away, and a couple of bars ten minutes, or less, away by car.
