The Area
I Lentischi is set in rolling hills between 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, which are pleasingly under-populated even in the height of summer. Vendicari is also home to thousands of migrating 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 I Lentischi. A little further afield, the other baroque towns of Modica, Ragusa and Scicli are easily reachable in a day.

Our experience at I Lentischi was perfect. The villa and location were beautiful. What made it extremely special is the excellent customer service/concierge provided by The Thinking Traveller team. Both during booking as well as during our stay.

We had a magical stay at I Lentischi. It exceeded all of our expectations. What stood out was the setting, the quality, and the quiet. We made wonderful memories and all services by The Thinking Traveller were fantastic. Can't wait to book another villa with them!
Verified guest, September 2025
The quality of I Lentischi was amazing. The views and the outdoor areas were outstanding. The villa was beautiful and had everything we needed. A perfect location, quiet and peaceful but just a few minutes drive from Noto. We had an amazing stay and would definitely come back!

I Lentischi is in a stunning location. In April it was awash with wildflowers. We loved the long rocky drive and the views out over the hills to the sea. The villa is laid out very practically and feels bigger in person than it does in the photos. Well-stocked kitchen. A great base to explore -- we spent nearly two weeks and could have spent another two easily. What stood out were the views, the privacy, and the lovely design. Would we return? Yes, it's a wonderful spot.
