Set among the rolling hills of Southeast Sicily, surrounded by centuries-old olive groves and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Villa Uccelli is a modern architectural masterpiece where design and nature exist in perfect harmony. Created for those who value tranquility, beauty, and balance, it’s a retreat where time slows down — where mornings begin with coffee on the terrace, the scent of rosemary in the air, and the sun rising softly over the hills.

Clean lines, generous glass façades, and the interplay of concrete, wood, and light define the character of the villa. Inside, every element mirrors the landscape outside: warm earthy tones, natural textures, and refined lighting by Vibia, Foscarini, and Artemide. Designer furniture from Muuto, Hay, Fermob, and Vitra complements the minimalist aesthetic, while works by Sicilian artists Sergio Fiorentino and Giuseppe Leone bring an authentic sense of place.

Spread over three levels, the villa comfortably accommodates up to ten guests. The ground floor features a bright open-plan living area with a kitchen and dining space that opens directly onto shaded verandas. There are five bedrooms in total, and a private office offers a quiet space for reading or remote work.

The three-hectare garden is filled with olive trees, fruit trees, and herbs — guests are invited to pick fresh rosemary, figs, or lemons. Outside, the infinity pool seems to blend into the horizon, surrounded by terraces and shaded lounge areas. There’s also a pétanque court, table tennis, yoga equipment, and hammocks between the olive trees. In the evenings, enjoy al fresco dining with views over the valley as the sky turns golden.

Perfectly located between the baroque town of Noto (20 minutes away) and the Vendicari Nature Reserve, Villa Uccelli offers the best of both worlds: culture and coast. Discover charming villages like Marzamemi, explore Siracusa and Ortigia, or wander through the baroque jewels of Modica, Scicli, and Ragusa Ibla. For nature lovers, the Cavagrande del Cassibile canyon offers waterfalls, trails, and breathtaking views. And for those who simply wish to unwind, stay here, under the olive trees, with a glass of wine and the sound of silence stretching all the way to the sea.
