No. 011 | Harmony between Architecture and Nature
Nestled between the Iblei mountains and the sea, this extraordinary villa offers a unique retreat in the Sicilian countryside, designed by FONDAMENTA studio. Designed as part of an innovative territorial transformation project, the villa seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, creating a harmonious dialogue between architecture and nature. Guests are invited to experience the untouched beauty of rural Sicily, where golden-hued stone, sweeping landscapes, and refined craftsmanship come together in a dreamlike equilibrium. Offering breathtaking views of the Noto Cathedral at sunrise and sunset, this is a place where the elements and human design merge into a serene, immersive experience.
The Space
The villa’s architectural design follows the natural contours of the landscape, bending between the rocky terrain to respect the integrity of the site. A single-floor layout, divided into two staggered levels, distinguishes the night area from the daytime spaces, optimizing natural light and orientation.
Crafted with traditional Sicilian materials, the villa features walls and flooring made of Noto stone, a golden-yellow calcarenite rock used in the reconstruction of Eastern Sicily’s Baroque cities. The bathrooms, including stone-carved shelving, are adorned with Modica stone, another native material sourced from the Ibleo plateau.
The bedrooms are designed for comfort and tranquility, offering a restful retreat after a day spent exploring the surrounding countryside:
Bedroom 1 – King bed
Bedroom 2 – King bed
Bedroom 3 – Queen bed
Bedroom 4 – King bed
Baby bed available upon request (Standard size: 52 inches long x 28 inches wide, sheets provided)
The villa features four elegantly designed bathrooms, including an outdoor bathtub, allowing guests to indulge in a spa-like experience beneath the open sky. Each bathroom has FRAMA bath products.
Outdoor Area
The outdoor space is where the villa truly comes to life. Positioned on a hilltop, the property offers panoramic views of the sea, the rolling mountains, and the historic skyline of Noto. Private caves and pathways encourage full immersion in the landscape, while covered terraces and a solarium provide perfect spaces for relaxation.
A beautifully designed swimming pool is a focal point of the outdoor area, inviting guests to cool off while enjoying the serene countryside. Whether lounging by the pool, dining alfresco, or exploring the lush surroundings, every moment at the villa is a seamless blend of luxury and nature.
This villa is more than just a holiday home—it is an experience that redefines the connection between architecture, nature, and the Sicilian way of life. Whether seeking a peaceful retreat or an inspiring creative escape, guests will find themselves immersed in a world where history, design, and the landscape intertwine in perfect harmony.
