The Area
Tula is set above a fertile plain 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, including Modica, Ragusa, and Scicli. All were all rebuilt in flamboyant style following a major earthquake in 1693, and today they are protected as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Val di Noto.
Vendicari Nature Reserve, meanwhile, 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 other species of bird, not to mention the sea turtles that nest on its beaches. Just to the west of Vendicari are the remains and superb mosaics of Villa Romana del Tellaro, a 4th century Roman villa.
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, which, along with fascinating, historic Syracuse form another UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Read the insightful reviews from travellers who have experienced this villa and our service firsthand.
Tula is a beautiful, relaxing Sicilian hideaway. Great layout, good size bedrooms, high standard, modern décor, and the flow between the kitchen, dining area and living space was excellent. Outside areas outstanding. Convenient location, rural but 5 minutes from major roads. Private. Aspect is great, sun from morning to evening. Well equipped.
AS October 2024
Tula is a great villa for a small family or two couples. It’s comfortable, stylish, and boasts beautiful grounds and a lovely pool. It was also quiet with great access to beaches and charming towns. A big thanks to the wonderful house manager. On top of this, we booked her twice to cook — both meals were fabulous! Big thanks to The Thinking Traveller for another perfect holiday!
LO July 2024
Tula is a beautiful villa in a great setting and a fantastic location. The view, that part of Sicily, and the extensive outdoor area of the villa itself was very nice. We would go again.
Verified guest, June 2024
Tula is a stylish family villa close to Noto. What stood out were the views and the interiors. We would return because it's quiet and there are good places to visit and dine close by.

Tula is a beautiful villa. It was nice to meet the owner and the architect on the last night. Really helpful villa staff too - we loved the homemade lemon marmalade!
Verified guest, September 2024
Tula is a lovely villa that is very well laid out. Excellent daily cleaning service, which was a lovely touch. The combination of numerous outdoor areas and a superb pool really made it a pleasure overall. We spent so much time outside because of it.
