Villa Vendicari

Such a beautiful place, both the villa and the nature surrounding it. It has everything you might need, including a pool and a tree house! It’s the perfect place to get away from the city and unwind. We would definitely recommend :)

From the moment you enter the property of the Vindicari Villa you know you are in for a treat. Two gorgeous architecturally designed villas curve either side of a 100 year old olive tree that all look out over Vendicari nature reserve and out to sea. I’ve been to Italy many, many times but this stay in Sicily topped them all! As an interior designer and stylist the stunning interiors and architectural curves were a complete delight. The kitchen and living area of the main villa were a fabulous central meeting point and as someone who loves to cook there was everything I needed to make incredible meals from the stunning local produce (Siracusa Market a MUST visit). Evenings were spent with dusk apperativo on the rooftop looking out over fields to the sea... Days were spent swimming in the nearby Vendicari Nature Reserve (walk along the pretty timber boardwalk to the sand) or wandering down the villas garden path to the stunning swimming pool at the end of the garden... I highly recommend a local lunch right there at the Vendicari Nature Reserve where stone huts are unpacked daily to create an incredible lunch right under the olive trees. Not that you ever really want or need to leave the villa but if you must... Nearby Unesco World Heritage listed Noto took my breath away. I also recommend popping into one of the many Agritourismo dotted along the coast (Guglielmo has great local secret spots listed in guide book). Also worth a visit is Ragusa, Modica and Calla Mosce (for the stunning tuna dishes served daily). Top that off with a luxurious homecoming bath for tired feet in the master bedroom looking out over those stunning views.... Needless to say I never wanted to leave... Guglielmo was an incredible host and should be super proud of not only the wondrous home he has created but the way he makes his guests feel so at home in luxurious style... I almost didn’t want to write this review as I know this little gem is incredible for the price point and everything it provides will book out (URL HIDDEN) much so I’ve already booked my stay next year... Grazie Mille Guglielmo... CAN NOT wait to return to your stunning Villa! ... An incredible trip in a truly memorable home... 5 stars from me! :) xx

Great peaceful place in the nature! 2 modern villas embedded in a large garden with sea view. Well equipped and with large windows that allow for a garden feeling even on colder witner days. The houses are designed in a sustainable way, well isolated, solar heating and roof garden..settle, breathe and enjoy!

Amazing villa, I loved the architecture of the place. Located near a natural reserve the house has a lot to offer: warm and calm atmosphere, pool, view of the sea, and many other things. There is also plenty of things to do nearby like visiting Noto or ruins.

I stayed here for two weeks to write and just wind down - and I don't think I've stayed in a place more beautiful or inspiring in a long time - really spectacular. The house itself is chic, stylish, minimalist and has all mod cons, from coffee makers to hairdryers to every detail you'll need to cook a huge Sicilian meal. The sea is visible from the house, too, which is a huge added bonus. Olive trees, vineyards and orchards are everywhere surrounding the property and the spectacular Baroque town of Noto, is just a short drive away. I had come here to work but never expected to feel so relaxed and recharged by the end of the trip - and as someone who doesn't drive, we never once felt isolated. Guglielmo the owner was wonderful - friendly, fluent in English and available anytime (via phone or email) I needed to ask a question or had a request. I want to come back here for a month off season - most relaxing trip ever :))

Hidden treasure with great architecture and beautiful garden. Amazing for a relaxed stay on Sicily's west coast. We travelled with two families and found it very suitable for little children as well. Just note that there a two houses on the property so you might have neighbors if you don't book both houses.

A really great place surrounded by a wonderful garden where you can pick your own herbs and, depending on the season, also fruits. You stay in a beautiful area: the beach and the nature reserve are not more than 5 minutes away by car, Noto 15 minutes. But you won't miss a thing when you decide just to stay in the house. The sunrise in the morning, the sea view while having breakfast, taking a sunbath on the roof. It's all about relaxing. The villa has lots of space and everything you need and you can mostly use just solar energy, a great feeling. A highly recommendable place!

If you're like me and also love to see magnificent sunrises behind the ocean from your terrace, surrounded by the beautiful nature of southern sicily, then this is the place to go! Together with the villa's unusual architecture - where you feel equally luxurious as well as at home - and guglielmo's great hospitality, is this the perfect spot to wind down and enjoy. A walk along the beach or in the natural reserve, trips to noto or marzamemi, swimming in the pool, have a barbecue on a leisurly afternoon, or just chilling in one of the hammocks in the tree(house),...you name it, here it'll be possible.
