Noto, Syracuse (province)

Historical residence sea view a few metres from the Cathedral of Noto.
In the heart of Noto in the historic centre, rises an elegant residence that incarnates the beauty and history of Sicilian Baroque.
This wonderful residence, located on the second floor and third floor of a historic building, is a charming fusion of old-world charm and modern comfort, with its 206 sqm about that open on airy and bright rooms, embellished with unique architectural details.
Crossing the threshold of the entrance with its high roof with geometric floral decoration in relief, we are welcomed by a room that immediately catches the eye for its sophisticated architecture.
On the wall where ivy shoots hang, climbing upwards like slender fingers in search of light, a real balcony with a door looks out over the guests entering the house, framing the view like a living picture, where those who look out become part of the story of the house, like a young woman who every day leaned out from that balcony, and with eyes full of hope waited for someone. Now, the balcony remains silent, witness to whispered stories and promises suspended in the air. But every time a guest enters, for a moment, that living picture comes back to life, reflecting the secrets and emotions of the beholder.
Adjacent to the living room, an eat-in kitchen opens to another balcony overlooking the street, animated by the bustle of daily life in Noto.
Proceeding along the path of the house, we reach a large dining room, an intimate and cosy environment with a privileged view of Noto and its blue sea.
The elegance continues in the majestic double reception hall, where the ornate ceilings and decorations on wood tell stories of a bygone era and the balconies open wide to let in the golden light of Sicily.
Here, the notes of a piano can still resound, for the room next to the living room has been dedicated to study and music, a corner of quiet and inspiration.
In this beautiful flat, there is no shortage of paintings above the doors (also called sopraporte or sopraluce) that tell stories through art, depicting moments from daily life, mythological and religious figures.
Through a long corridor we reach the sleeping area, where we find the master bedroom which frames the magnificence of the Noto Baroque, three other bedrooms, the spacious and elegant main bathroom, a second service bathroom and a practical storage room.
To complete this extraordinary picture, on the third floor are other rooms totalling 30 sqm about, a refuge above the rooftops of Noto, next to the terrace shared with the resident on the ground floor.
From here, the view can extend over the entire city, with the Cathedral silhouetted on the horizon and the sea merging with the sky. The Sicilian tiles, witnesses to centuries of history, reflect the light of the sunset, providing an atmosphere suspended between dream and reality.
Part of the furniture and furnishings, carefully selected to respect the soul of the residence, is included in the sale, allowing the future owners to immediately immerse themselves in the timeless enchantment of this unique residence. A rare opportunity for those who wish to experience the magic of Noto, in a place where every detail tells a story and every window offers an emotion.
