Contemporary cool over Noto
Adesso's architectural pedigree lies not only in its subtle, light-filled contemporary design, but also in the gentle, unassuming way it sits in its ancient context. Surrounded by dry stone walls, carob trees and olive groves, and blessed with timeless views over the undulating hills around Noto and the sparkling sea beyond, Adesso offers a magical mix of peace, personality and proximity to all that's best about Sicily's southeast corner.

Adesso sits in the rolling hills above the fascinating town of Noto and the beautiful beaches of Vendicari Nature Reserve. Noto is the most easterly of a chain of baroque towns that were built from scratch after the terrible earthquake of 1693. Along with its neighbours, Modica, Ragusa and Scicli, it forms the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Val di Noto.
The coastline around Italy's southernmost point is flanked by mile upon mile of sandy beaches, many of which, including those of Vendicari, are just an easy drive from Adesso.
Slightly further afield, but highly recommended, is Syracuse, once the mightiest city in Magna Graecia. Its archaeological site and island centre, Ortigia, are fascinating.
Last but not least, If hiking in the hills is your thing, then there is some spectacular scenery to explore in the rushing streams and waterfalls of the Cassibile gorge and the Paleolithic burial sites in the dramatic valley of Pantalica.
From the Guest Book
What stood out about Adesso was the architecture and the view. We had a nice holiday and enjoyed the villa.
CB September 2024
Adesso is in a great location and has a beautiful view and a nice pool area. All the bedrooms were nice and equal in amenities so you didn't feel as if if one couple got a better room than another. Lots of windows and sunlight throughout the villa. Plenty of seating and the inside and outside dining areas were nice.
