About the property
Inside
accommodation at I Lentischi is all on one floor.The entrance leads in from a sheltered courtyard into a voluminous open-plan space with lofty, white-painted beamed ceilings and local pietra pece stone floors.
This space is seamlessly divided into two parts: a lovely, well-equipped kitchen with dining table and designer chairs, and a supremely elegant living area, with sofas, armchairs, a divan and a central fireplace. On either side of the fireplace glass doors lead out to the main shady sea-view terrace.
To the right and left of the living area are three large, welcoming and luminous double-twin bedrooms, a single bedroom, and two shower rooms with gloriously roomy, stone-lined showers.
Outside
I Lentischi is reached via a long, winding private road, and so tranquillity and privacy are guaranteed. On one side of the house, where one enters the kitchen, is a walled courtyard offering protection when the wind gets up, whereas on the other, accessed from the living area, a large open, shaded terrace extends across the whole width of the house.Furnished for lounging and dining, this terrace boasts fabulous views across the surrounding countryside and down to Vendicari Natural Reserve and the sea.
On summer afternoons, when the lowering sun burns, one side of the house provides shade and splendid sea views, while on the other one may frolic in the splendidly designed 14m-long pool. The gardens, which merge with the Elysian countryside, are planted with a rich variety of flowering Mediterranean flora and carob and olive trees.

About 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.
Considerations
Parts of the route to this property are unpaved and a little rough, so we recommend guests hire a 4x4 or a car with high ground clearance.
You may also wish to know that the pool has a single depth of 1.3m.
This property is surrounded by countryside, some of which is unfenced and may include drops or steep slopes. We therefore recommend that younger children are supervised by an adult when exploring the grounds.

I liked everything about I Lentischi. What really stood out was the view, the territory, and the stone floor.
Verified guest, visited May 2026
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.

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!

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.
