Alba

A modernist villa with sleek contemporary interiors and magnificent sea views

Alba is a modernist villa in the style of mid-century American architecture but the magnificent setting, with an infinity pool that seems to stretch to the sea, and the scent of the Mediterranean garden, is very firmly Italian.

Just 5km northeast of Noto, one of the loveliest of the baroque towns that dot this corner of southern Sicily, Alba is the perfect retreat for a family or group of friends.

Spacious and comfortable with a sophisticated natural palette of local stone and warm wood, the interior is wrapped in glass so guests feel fully immersed in the beauty of the landscape.

Alba is the perfect base for exploring the Unesco baroque towns of Modica, Ragusa and Scicli that, along with Noto, are on the doorstep. There is plenty of choice when it comes to beaches, too, from the combed sand of the refined beach clubs to the wilder shores of the Vendicari Nature Reserve.

Rooms description

Bedrooms

The four bedrooms, all with AC, have comfortable double beds and floor-to-ceiling, black-framed windows and doors to the terrace or garden. Sandy tones are complemented by high-end natural materials including wood and marble.

Bathrooms

There are four shower rooms, one per bedroom.

Kitchen

The expertly equipped kitchen sits to one side of the open-plan living space. This large, zoned room is surrounded by floor to ceiling glass with a cantilevered roof above to offer shade to the outside dining terrace. The sophisticated, contemporary interior includes local wood and stone, and the long kitchen island and indoor dining table have been judiciously placed to frame the view.

Living rooms

The sitting room is at one end of the open-plan living space that spans the width of the villa. There is a TV but the view out of the glass walls over the pool to the sea will likely make it redundant. The pool is surrounded by sun loungers.

Facilities

Cleaning

The property is cleaned weekly (and during your stay for bookings over ten days), and sheets and towels are also changed weekly. Pool and garden maintenance are included.

Amenities

private pool, air conditioning, hob/stove, oven, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, satellite TV, wifi, hairdryer

Outside

The architecture of the villa is reminiscent of mid-century American design while the actual location is firmly Mediterranean, surrounded by verdant hills that could almost be sand dunes. The infinity pool (15mx3m) is angled portrait as opposed to landscape which gives the impression that you could swim off the end into the sea. There is an outside dining table under the cantilevered roof to one side of the villa and the perfect aperitivi spot under a pergola with side walls that frame the garden. There is a heady scent of Mediterranean plants such as rosemary and lavender, the obligatory olive, palm and cactus trees that root you in Italy and coastal views that confirm it as Sicily.

Leisure & Activities

Activities

The breathtaking beaches of Sicily’s south-eastern corner are just 15 minutes away by car. Lido di Noto (8km) is perfect for those who like the convenience of a beachside restaurant, while the beaches inside the Vendicari Nature Reserve are wild and unspoilt and include Eloro, Pizzuta, Calamosche, San Lorenzo and, if you’d rather throw caution to the wind, as well as your clothes, Marianelli. For a round of golf, the 18-hole I Monasteri course is half an hour away.

Noto and the surrounding area has a long history of producing wines, in particular Nero d’Avola, a red, and its white counterpart, Moscato Bianco. Head for a vineyard and cellar tour, or a tasting at a winery, or if you’d rather skip straight to a glass try somewhere along Corso Vittoria Emmanuelle in Noto for the best people watching.

If archaeology is more your thing, you’re in for a treat. This corner of Italy is often thought to be more Greek than Greece itself: head to the Valle dei Templi in Agrigento with its beautiful Greek temples. For Roman mosaics, the Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina is the place, and Donnafugata Castle, the Kamarina archeological site, Cava d’Ispica, Portopalo and Scala dei Turchi are all worth your while. Alternatively, you could climb Mount Etna.

Specials

Notes We would be delighted to help you plan the details of your stay at Alba in advance. The following are available on request: private chef, regional cooking classes, nanny, driver, boat rental, massage therapist, yoga instructor and tourist guide.

Surroundings

The stunning baroque town of Noto is just five minutes from the villa by car. It’s one of the most charming spots in Italy and its centro storico is worthy of a film set. Go in the late afternoon when the 18th century sandstone walls glow ochre and the people-watching is at its best. You’ll also be wooed by its colourful interiors and fabulous array of restaurants that offer everything from pizzas to fine dining, all using beautiful, slow-grown local ingredients. Syracusa (32km) is of archaeological interest and is matched in its splendour by both Ragusa (68km) and Modica (40km) - the latter is known as the city of 100 churches and is famed for its chocolate production. The island of Ortigia is another gem of pretty, medieval streets, heaving with history, while Marzamemi (25km) is a traditional fishing village with delightful restaurants.
