12 DIMORA DELLE BALZE
Dimora delle Balze is a 19th-century aristocratic masseria (fortified farmhouse or country house) on a 27ha country estate in Noto in south-eastern Sicily. Restored after being abandoned for 50 years, the sprawling estate, set around three courtyards, retains its original spare architecture that has been softened with unique and vintage objects, and colourful design elements. There are only 12 rooms here of different sizes, each with its own concept and story, and specifically designed colour and design scheme. On the floors are handmade cementines from Morocco in Mediterranean colours of blue-grey and shades of green. While some rooms overlook the central courtyard, there is also one inside the manor tower, with splendid views of the Val di Noto. Ideally situated between the ancient cities of Noto and Syracuse, Dimora delle Balze allows you to discover in total luxury and perfect privacy.
