Description Baroque and Starlight: Noto

Sitting in the historic centre of Noto, this apartment puts you among the baroque rooftops of one of Sicily's most celebrated towns from the moment you arrive. The real pull is the private rooftop terrace – a place to eat alfresco as domes and bell towers fill the skyline, with distant flickers of the sea beyond. The living room is bright and connects directly to the outdoor space, while the kitchen looks out onto a baroque dome as you cook. Air conditioning keeps things comfortable when the Sicilian sun is at its strongest.

Home truths:
* Noto's historic centre is compact and best explored on foot, but you'll want a car if you're planning day trips to the coastal beaches or inland nature reserves nearby.
* While the home can sleep up to six people, the maximum occupancy is four guests.
* There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
