The Area

Dietro al Muro is set in the rolling hills above the fascinating baroque town of Noto and the beautiful natural reserve of Vendicari.

Noto is the most easterly of a chain of baroque towns now protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is also perhaps the most perfect of the baroque towns, which were all rebuilt in flamboyant style following a major earthquake in 1693.

Vendicari Nature Reserve boasts some of the finest sandy beaches in Sicily, some of which are pleasingly underpopulated even in the height of summer. Vendicari is also home to thousands of migrating birds, including flamingos, and sea turtles nest on its beaches.

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 Dietro al Muro. A little further afield, the other baroque towns of Modica, Ragusa and Scicli are easily reachable in a day.

Mr Philip Doucet August 2018

Dietro al Muro was simply amazing and we all enjoyed it tremendously! I can't fault it. Everyone left with smiles on their faces and feeling very relaxed and happy!

RW, Australia July 2018

The pictures didn't do Dietro al Muro justice, having panoramic views of the sea and Noto where more beautiful than I could have imagined. What did we enjoy most about our holiday? Staying in the stunning villa with close proximity to beaches and two towns

EW, United Kingdom September 2017

Dietro al Muro was absolutely excellent, amazing and unforgettable. The photos on your website were enticing but didn't convey the sheer size of Dietro al Muro and the fantastic dual aspect views. Undersold!

RA, United Kingdom August 2017

We thought Dietro al Muro was excellent for our family holiday... a memory we will share for a long time. We enjoyed the cook service .. it was great to sit back at the house and enjoy the dinner prepared for us.

RD, Australia June 2017

I want to come back! The kitchen was super well equipped - had all the right pans and equipment - a first for us!
