Masseria degli Ulivi

Noto, Sicily, Italy

Rooms

There are 34 uncluttered and spacious rooms - 24 doubles, 8 triples and 2 quadruples, the latter being split over 2 levels (perfect for families with 1 or 2 kids). Initial impressions are of a cool, dark space with high timbered ceilings and a minimum of fuss. Furniture comes in plain dark wood in a typical rustic style; our room had a large chest of drawers and little else. The linen was crisp and cool though the bed itself was too firm for our taste. Overall, the look is calm and natural, almost plain, with no frills but all the basic comforts: A/C, a small fridge, a safe, a TV (suspended rather unattractively in the top corner) and racks on the external stairways to dry swimming costumes.

The impeccable bathrooms are all really well fitted out, with plenty of space, neutral in tone and design, with hairdryer, but without bathtubs.

All the rooms open onto an external staircase or terrace and so the lovely garden is never far away.

Save to favouritesPrintMailMasseria degli UliviA short drive up a winding road to the hills above the stunning town of Noto brings you to the remote and incredibly tranquil 'Farmhouse of Olives'. You enter through a cool, dark archway where, on our visit, an old dog slept peacefully in the shade. The nineteenth-century farmhouse is built around a baglio (courtyard), with an old olive tree providing shade. The reception, restaurant and breakfast room are off this central space, with the accommodation in newly built blocks across the lawn. Modern edges are softened by the dusky pink colour of the walls and the jasmine, honeysuckle and rose plants climbing up the sides. Across the lawn is the beautiful infinity pool: semi-circular and surrounded by sun-loungers shaded by olive trees. Simple, comfy [r:SI015:rooms] have high beamed ceilings; some are split level, which will suit families. But it's the setting which makes it: you're in the depths of nature, with Sicily's most spectacular river gorge and her loveliest Baroque town both on your doorstep.
