Casa Vera is the kind of home that leaves you speechless — modern, minimalist and fully open to the surrounding landscape. Set on a ridge just outside Noto, the villa enjoys sweeping views over rolling hills and, in the distance, the shimmering Mediterranean Sea. It was designed by internationally renowned architect Gordon Guillaumier, who achieved a rare balance between clean concrete, natural materials and local craftsmanship.

Inside, the atmosphere is serene and refined. Polished concrete floors and ceilings provide a calm, understated backdrop for curated design pieces. The living area features a striking accent wall of Sicilian ceramic tiles, adding warmth and artistic soul to the space. In the bedrooms, locally woven wall hangings add texture, colour and character.

The long kitchen and dining area is an eye-catching space in industrial style, with dark marble detailing and a large chestnut wood table — perfect for long Sicilian lunches that blend seamlessly into evening. Full-height sliding doors open directly onto the terrace, where you can enjoy an aperitivo in the golden light or breakfast with a view across the valley.

Casa Vera consists of two buildings: the main house with three bedrooms, and an annex by the pool with two additional bedrooms — ideal for those travelling together while enjoying a sense of privacy. Outdoors, you’ll find even more to discover: a large panoramic terrace, a mix of sun and shade, a pergola that catches the breeze, and of course the spectacular cobalt-blue swimming pool with shallow platform and sea view. This is a villa for design lovers, bon vivants and anyone seeking peace, space and authentic Sicilian living.
