Casetta di campagna con terreno in Contrada Laufi

The Hyblaean plateau breaks here into limestone gorges and open countryside, and the Ionian coast is at hand with the beaches and rocky shore between Lido di Noto, Eloro and Vendicari. The area includes the Vendicari Nature Reserve, a protected stretch of coast with wetlands and old tuna-fishery buildings. The Tellaro River reaches the sea near Eloro. Noto is the nearest town of size and has one of the main Baroque historic centres in Sicily; the late-Baroque towns of the Val di Noto are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Avola is nearby for everyday services and the coast road links south toward Pachino and Marzamemi and north toward Siracusa. The area is known for Baroque townscapes, citrus and almond growing, and Nero d’Avola wine.
