Tenuta Falconeri rises on the crest of a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea and Sicily's southeast coastline, from Syracuse to near Noto.
Should you wish to venture out from the delightful confines of Tenuta Falconeri, there is much to see nearby, starting with Syracuse, whose historic island centre, Ortigia, and world-famous archaeological site is a 20-minute drive away. One of Sicily's most beautiful and intriguing town's, Syracuse is home to numerous excellent restaurants, bars, independent shops and a flourishing food market.
Other towns within easy reach include Noto, Modica, Ragusa, and Scicli, whose glorious baroque town centres are united as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In terms of restaurants, shops and other amenities, Cassibile and Fontane Bianche are less than 10 minutes away. Fontane Bianche is also home to a beautiful bay and arc of golden sand.
Other beaches nearby include those of Gelsomineto (a little paradise) and Arenella, which are about 10 and 20 minutes away respectively. You may also wish to venture further south to Vendicari Nature Reserve, home not only to a succession of gorgeous beaches, but also migrating flamingos, nesting turtles and the remains of an old tonnara (tuna fishing station) dating back to Arab times, some 1,000 years ago.
For those in search of the outdoors, there is some good walking in the nature reserves of Cassibile and Pantalica, this latter home to a prehistoric necropolis.
