A romantic weekend on the south‑eastern coast of Sicily is the perfect choice for those who want sea, culture and relaxation in an authentic setting. Noto and its surroundings offer golden beaches, nature reserves and a unique baroque heritage. But where to stay to make the most of this experience? Here are some proposals from HireSicily that combine comfort, sustainability and privacy.
Villa Giardino di Limoni
Located just 350 metres from the beach of Lido di Noto, this eco‑friendly villa has a private heated pool, panoramic veranda and a tropical garden where you can pick seasonal fruit. The house is ideal for couples or small families: two bedrooms, a large living area and fully equipped kitchen. Photovoltaic panels and a heat pump guarantee a green stay, while the hammock in the garden and the barbecue invite you to spend romantic evenings under the stars.
Casale della Pergola
For those seeking a more rustic atmosphere, Casale della Pergola offers an old farmhouse with heated pool, immersed in 25,000 m² of garden with lemon, olive and vine trees. Guests can taste home‑produced extra virgin olive oil and Nero d’Avola wine and pick citrus and tropical fruits in the orchard. The property has two bedrooms and a bathroom; the real gem is the veranda where you can have breakfast at dawn or toast at sunset.
Giardino Tropicale
If you need more space and two heated pools, Giardino Tropicale is the right choice. The property includes two independent buildings with rooms and services for a total of 10–13 guests. The two‑hectare garden houses tropical plants such as papaya, mango and avocado; every morning you can pick fresh fruit and greet the donkeys and chickens living on the farm. The proximity to the Vendicari Reserve allows romantic walks in nature.
Apartment Eucaliptus
For a more urban stay but still a stone’s throw from the sea, the Apartment Eucaliptus in Lido di Avola offers a sea‑view terrace with barbecue, perfect for candlelit dinners. Only 40 metres from the beach and close to restaurants and bars, the apartment has two bedrooms and a large air‑conditioned living room. It’s the ideal starting point to explore Noto, Avola and the surrounding nature reserves.
