Surveying the Arcadian hills and shimmering blue waters that so define Sicily's southeasternmost corner, Mandorla takes its name from the surrounding almond trees which, along with the local materials used throughout the property, imbue the contemporary aesthetics of the overall design with a sense of place and belonging.

The Area

Mandorla sits in a panoramic position in the Arcadian hills just a few miles south of the fascinating baroque town of Noto and close to a host of sandy beaches, including those of Vendicari Nature Reserve.

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.

Ancient, historic Syracuse is just over half an hour's drive away, and we heartily recommend that anyone spending a week or two at Mandorla enjoys some time there. A little further afield, the other baroque towns of Modica, Ragusa and Scicli are easily visitable.
