Sicily's essence in a charming townhouse

This beautifully renovated townhouse is in the heart of Noto, just a short walk from the wonders of the historic center. It's an elegant and welcoming retreat where every detail has been carefully thought out. This recently renovated property combines aesthetics, functionality, and a deep connection to Sicilian culture, creating a one-of-a-kind home. The property is spread over three levels, offering harmonious and perfectly distributed spaces. On the ground floor, a large bedroom with en suite bathroom welcomes guests with fine materials and an intimate atmosphere. On the first floor, the master bedroom—also with a private bathroom—echoes the same elegance and formal consistency, enriched with refined details. Going up to the second floor, the kitchen opens onto the terrace, creating a dialogue between inside and outside that enhances the brightness of the rooms. Continuing up the stairs, you reach a second terrace, perfect for moments of relaxation and conviviality with views over the city rooftops. Opposite the main building, a small independent annex completes the property: a bedroom with bathroom, ideal for guests seeking privacy. The interior design project interprets the home with an elegant, warm, and deeply Sicilian language. All floors and walls are clad in Modica stone, an iconic material of the island that lends continuity and authenticity to the spaces. The chosen colours convey a discreet elegance: white ceilings, stone-coloured floors, a delicate dove grey band and touches of gold that characterise the beds and wardrobes. While maintaining a single, consistent atmosphere, the three bedrooms are distinguished by decorative accessories suspended above the beds: wooden or porcelain plates inspired by Sicilian tradition. The main building displays an evocative collection of porcelain depicting 12 floor plans of Sicilian Baroque churches, in black and gold. In the annexe, on the other hand, there are 14 wooden plates, paired two by two, depicting typical scenes from the island: historic paving, fishermen's nets and details of ancient villages. The bathrooms, completely clad in stone, are distinguished by a large photographic poster depicting moments of everyday life in Sicily, transforming a functional space into a visual narrative. The common areas on the ground floor and first floor are cosy and refined: the same stone perimeter band found in the rooms continues into the shared areas, while a side-lit false ceiling features motifs inspired by the embroidery of local textile crafts. A photo gallery completes the space, making it familiar and welcoming. The wenge wood kitchen is embellished with a central backlit gold metal element, which harmoniously complements the opposite wall decorated with striking glossy black Moor's heads. The lighting, distributed in a diffused and never intrusive manner, is provided by LED strips hidden along the stone strips and in the plasterboard ceiling, while suspended lamps and golden wall lights add atmospheric points of light. A property that embodies elegance, identity and comfort, ideal both as a charming accommodation facility and as a private residence, perfect for enjoying the best of Noto and welcoming friends and family in a space that smells of Sicily.
