The Local Area

Villa Rosmarino is located in San Lorenzo, a small seaside village with a lovely sandy beach with a few cafés/restaurants on the south east coast of Sicily. It is also just 3km from the charming fishing village of Marzamemi with picturesque beach, small harbour with colourful wooden boats and fish restaurants, artisan shops along narrow side streets and piazza with live music on some evenings during the summer months.

From the villa, it is also possible to visit some of the most beautiful towns in south east Sicily such as Noto (24km), Syracuse (51km) and the baroque towns of the Val di Noto. It is also 8km from Vendicari Nature Reserve home to Herons, Cranes, Black Storks, Pelicans and home to a flamboyance of Flamingos in its lagoons, marshes, dunes and beaches.

Noto, part of the Val di Noto UNESCO World Heritage Site in south east Sicily, has an upper part on the plateau and a lower newer part on the slope below. The latter accommodates buildings of the nobility and religious complexes of the 18th century and the topography, town plan and architecture combine to create a spectacular 'Baroque stage set'. It includes nine religious complexes and numerous palazzi. It is a charming Baroque-style town built up following the 17th century earthquake.

There are several historical sites scattered across the town such as the Church of San Francesco, Museo Civico and Piazza XVI Maggio as well as numerous shops, bars, restaurants. Noto is also home to one of the most visually striking festivals on the island held on the 3rd weekend of May when Via Nicolaci is transformed into a piece of artwork with 16 artists covering the street with their own exquisite petal designs.
