The Area

Petite Afrique sits in a panoramic position overlooking the undulating hills surrounding Noto, not far from the beautiful beaches of Vendicari Nature Reserve.

Noto is the most easterly of a chain of baroque towns that were built from scratch after the terrible earthquake of 1693. Along with its neighbours, Modica, Ragusa and Scicli, it forms the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Val di Noto.

The coastline around Italy's southernmost point is flanked by mile upon mile of sandy beaches, many of which, including those of Vendicari, are just an easy drive from Petite Afrique.

Slightly further afield, but highly recommended, is Syracuse, once the mightiest city in Magna Graecia. Its archaeological site and island centre, Ortigia, are fascinating.

Last but not least, If hiking in the hills is your thing, then there is some spectacular scenery to explore in the rushing streams and waterfalls of the Cassibile gorge and the Paleolithic burial sites in the dramatic valley of Pantalica.

Petite Afrique was just perfect for us: great outside areas and those fabulous views exceeded our expectations. It's modern, open-plan, light and airy, and well-equipped. We would return.

SM September 2024

Petit Afrique is located in a beautiful setting, with a wonderful view of the sea. The villa is comfortable and tastefully decorated. The grounds are amazing!

Stunning views! Totally quiet place! Beautiful interior design with everything you need. You feel immediately at home. Simply dreamlike!

C.B. September 2023

The villa met and exceeded our expectations. The location was very peaceful and with a garden, provided plenty of space, greenery and shade from the sun. Lots of seating outside meant we could spend time in the villa and enjoy many wonderful evenings, having supper and wine and gazing at the view.

Verified guest, June 2023

Lovely villa with beautiful views and easy access to a charming town.
