Sant Elia Cottage - A Country Retreat

Nestled in the rolling hills of Sicily, not far from the fascinating town of Noto, the Sant Elia Cottage enchants its guests with an unforgettable stay. The villa is set in a lush Mediterranean garden adorned with citrus trees, centuries-old olive trees, and colourful flowers, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The centrepiece of the property is the beautiful private pool, surrounded by comfortable lounge chairs and shaded areas that invite you to relax and enjoy the sweet rhythm of Sicilian life.

The three double bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, while the two well-equipped bathrooms ensure maximum relaxation and convenience. The fully equipped kitchen invites you to prepare delicious local specialities, which you can enjoy in the spacious dining room or outdoors in the charming barbecue area.

Despite the relaxed and secluded atmosphere of Cottage Sant Elia, you’re just a short drive away from the region’s main attractions. In short, Cottage Sant Elia is the perfect retreat for an unforgettable holiday in Sicily, where comfort, beauty, and tranquility blend harmoniously to create a unique and authentic experience.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house is in a very quiet location, ideal for getting away from it all. It has good access to services within a few hundred meters, although for bigger and more diverse shops you need to drive into Noto (few km away). The exterior is a large garden with a great swimming pool and barbecue area, ideal for relaxing. The house itself is spacious and functional with the essential equipment, including very good internet. The weather was cool at the start of our stay, and the house takes some time to heat up, which should make it perfect for hot summers. Giovanni was incredible as a host, always available for questions and information on the local area. We would definitely return to explore more of this beautiful part of Sicily.
