Country House Villadorata

The Best Hotels in Sicily | Condé Nast Traveler

"Perched on a hillside near Noto among olive and citrus groves, this modern country house is a cool, earthy refuge that channels the old-world escapes of Sicily’s elite into simple pleasures—languid breakfasts of local cold cuts and cheeses, afternoons drifting in the pool or under rustling citrus leaves, and relaxed evenings where flavors and presentations transcend the hotel’s easy-going spirit. Fifteen rooms scatter through gardens with varying degrees of privacy, from private pool suites to timber-and-glass eco-suites with plunge pools, and while it’s an excellent launchpad for nearby Baroque towns and protected beaches, the hotel’s guiding principle invites guests to embrace sweet idleness." - Rosalyn Wikeley
