Casa Luza was outstanding and we had a wonderful holiday. The villa and grounds were exceptional.
Simon Dinning May 2025
We had a luxurious, comforting, smooth, and adventurous vacation at Casa Luza. The grounds were well kept and the interior felt luxurious but also cozy. The caretaking team were the main highlight. They were perfect hosts. We felt so taken care of! Would we return to Casa Luza? Yes, absolutely.

The Area
Casa Luza is set in rolling hills near the fascinating baroque town of Noto and the beautiful nature reserve of Vendicari.
Noto is arguably the most perfect of a string of sublime baroque towns (including Modica, Ragusa and Scicli) that constitute the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Val di Noto. Rebuilt in flamboyant style following a major earthquake in 1693, they are masterpieces of flair, style and town planning.
Vendicari Nature Reserve, meanwhile, boasts some of the finest sandy beaches in Sicily and is also home to migrating flamingos, sea turtles and a host of other wildlife.
If hiking in the hills is your thing, then there is some spectacular scenery in the rushing streams and waterfalls of Cassibile and at the Paleolithic burial sites in the dramatic valley of , Pantalica.
Syracuse is just half an hour's drive away, and a day there is highly recommended to anybody spending a week or two at Casa Luza.

Wine tastings in Southeast Sicily
Nero D’Avola, Cerasuolo di Vittoria, Frappato, Syrah and Moscato Bianco are just a few of the grape varieties cultivated in the Noto area, and we heartily recommend a vineyard visit during your stay. We know the right people and the most prestigious wineries in the area, and we’d be delighted to arrange a chauffeured wine tasting tour with lunch for you.

Private boat charters in Southeast Sicily
From here until the southeasternmost tip of Sicily, the coastline is an uninterrupted stretch of sandy beach, dotted with picturesque little resort towns, including Punta Secca (Inspector Montalbano's home), Marina di Ragusa, Donnalucata, Cava d'Aliga, Sampieri and Marina di Modica. The last strip, made up of several miles of dunes, is where the Allied forces landed in the 2nd World War. At the southernmost tip of Sicily is Isola Delle Correnti, offering an almost African scenario. Indeed, here we are considerably further south than Tunis.Just around the southeastern tip and heading north up the east coast, are the beaches of Marzamemi, San Lorenzo and Vendicari Nature Reserve. The reserve's salt water lagoons and varieties of flora offer the ideal habitat for a wide range of fauna, including nesting turtles and migrating flamingos.Continuing up the east coast, between Vendicari and the historic Greek town of Syracuse, are the popular sandy beaches of Marina di Noto, Calabernado, Marina di Avola, Gelsomineto, Fontane Bianche and Arenella.
