Pale stone, quiet countryside and selected stays around Noto, Modica and Scicli, with private itineraries towards the coast.
To plan your journey, read our
guide to Notoโs Baroque art, flavours and history
and follow the
itinerary through Syracuse, Ortigia, Noto and Vendicari.
A few minutes above the Santa Maria del Monte Staircase stands Palazzo Spadaro Libertini. It is not a museum: no ticket office, no fixed circuit, no rope along the walls. It is a private house that opens its main rooms by arrangement, and the damasks on those walls are the original ones โ not replacements, not reproductions.
