Pool afternoons and Baroque days

Begin with breakfast, head into Noto or Modica for the morning, then return for a swim and a quiet hour in the gardens. Masseria della Volpe brings together the space of a country estate and the pleasures of discovering south-east Sicily.

The restored masseria looks across the Val di Noto countryside. A large pool, Codarossa restaurant, tennis and a spa give you plenty to enjoy on a day at the hotel, while Vendicari and the coast are within reach by car.

We recommend four or five nights, with a hire car for the towns, beaches and evenings out.
