Villa Orto

This beautiful house lies nestled in a peaceful area between olive and almond groves on the old road between Noto and Avola. Villa Orto was bought and carefully renovated by her current owners over ten years ago. One can see and feel the love and passion that Valeria and Massimo put into their estate. Especially the garden and the trees, which the elderly but fit sicilian neighbours take care of, are a treat to the eyes; their organic products are naturally available to Villa Orto’s guests.

The house is composed of three bedrooms, three bathrooms a large living area and a well-equipped kitchen. One of the bedrooms with an en-suite bathroom is separate from the main house and accessible from the outside. A barbecue, a pizza oven and an outdoor shower are all at the guests’ disposal. The terrace and inner courtyard invite one to relax and enjoy locol specialities. Thanks to the construction methods used, Villa Orto provides a cool place to reside during Sicily’s hot summers. Two air-conditioners and ceiling fans also help out. The 110 m2-house and the two hectare-large estate provide a large family or befriended couples enough space and privacy to enjoy a relaxing vacation.
