Villa Mandarino Dolce

A Sicilian stay with room to share

On the hills near Noto, Villa Arancia e Limone brings together two independent homes, a panoramic swimming pool and open views towards the town and the Mediterranean. Set in Contrada Meti, within the municipality of Avola, the property offers a country setting approximately five kilometres from Noto and ten kilometres from Eloro beach. It is a place for a holiday shaped around family, friendship and the pleasure of spending time outdoors, with the freedom to explore the surrounding towns and coast at your own pace.

The complete property accommodates up to twelve guests in six double bedrooms and six bathrooms. Its two matching houses each welcome six people, making the arrangement particularly appealing for two families or friends who would like to travel together while retaining their own living space. Presented by Camisa Homes & Villas, the villa combines a generous shared outdoor setting with the practical independence of two kitchens, two living areas and separate covered verandas.

Two homes for one holiday

Each house follows the same clear layout, with three double bedrooms arranged around its own open living area. This gives the group useful flexibility throughout the day. One household can make breakfast while another enjoys a slower morning; children and adults can follow different rhythms before everyone gathers beside the pool. The accommodation works as a complete holiday home for the group, while the separate interiors allow quieter moments whenever they are wanted.

The overall interior area is approximately 270 square metres, set within grounds of around 10,000 square metres. These proportions give the property a spacious feel without losing the intimacy of a private home. Rather than relying on a single large communal room, the layout offers several places to sit, talk, read or prepare a meal, with outdoor areas bringing the two houses together.

Living spaces filled with light

The entrance to each house opens into a living room and kitchen, where exposed timber beams and large glazed doors create a welcoming connection with the veranda outside. The rooms are designed around everyday use: a comfortable place to return to after sightseeing, somewhere to share a morning coffee, or a setting for an evening indoors. The relationship between living space and terrace makes it easy to move between the house and the garden throughout the day.

Each kitchen is equipped for an independent holiday stay, with a fridge, dishwasher, oven, microwave, toaster and kitchen utensils. Having two kitchens is especially helpful for groups with different meal times or preferences. Guests can keep simple holiday routines, prepare food together or divide tasks between the houses, while still coming together to enjoy meals on the verandas.

Six bedrooms with a balanced layout

Each house contains three double bedrooms. One sits beside the living area and has its own bathroom. Along the corridor, two further double bedrooms complete the sleeping accommodation: one has an en suite bathroom, while the other has a dedicated bathroom across the hall. Across the complete property, this provides four en suite bedrooms and two bedrooms with separate dedicated bathrooms, an important distinction when planning the room allocation for a larger group.

Air conditioning helps maintain comfort during the Sicilian summer, while the availability of bed linen and bath towels makes arrival straightforward. The layout is well suited to groups happy to use double beds, with six double bedrooms in total. Any particular sleeping requirements can be discussed before booking so that the proposed arrangement corresponds to the needs of the whole party.

Verandas and gardens beside the pool

Both homes have a furnished covered veranda, with dining tables, chairs and seating for time outside. These spaces offer a natural setting for breakfast, a relaxed lunch or a conversation after a day exploring the coast. The Mediterranean garden extends the living areas beyond the houses, with paths leading towards the pool and views opening over the countryside, Noto and the sea beyond.

The private swimming pool measures approximately 12.5 by four metres and has a gradual entrance formed by stone steps. Around it, outdoor seating, sun loungers and a shaded pergola create places to settle between swims. The pool provides a shared focus for the holiday, while the verandas allow smaller gatherings closer to each house. Its setting is an invitation to spend unhurried time outdoors and enjoy the changing light across the landscape.

Practical comforts for longer stays

Wi-Fi, television, private parking and laundry facilities support the practical arrangements throughout your Sicilian stay. Each house has its own laundry area with a washing machine and a washer-dryer, useful for families and guests travelling for more than a few days. An iron, ironing board and hairdryer are also listed among the amenities. A cot and high chair can be requested in advance, allowing families to discuss their requirements before arrival.

A stay shaped around your plans

For a group of twelve, the distinction between the two houses can become a real advantage. Families may choose their rooms within one house, while friends can organise themselves around their preferred routines. The same arrangement can suit a smaller party wanting additional space, provided the complete property is reserved. The emphasis is on having room to be together without needing to share every moment of the day.

Before arrival, the Camisa team can discuss the group's room allocation, requests for children and any additional services required. Private meals, transfers or experiences should be arranged individually, with availability and inclusions confirmed for the booking. This allows the stay to reflect the guests' plans, while keeping the accommodation and optional services clearly defined. Whether the intention is to explore the coast or spend most days at the villa, the property offers a flexible base for a shared Sicilian holiday.

Noto and the south eastern coast

The location makes it easy to alternate days at the villa with visits to Noto and time by the sea. Noto offers its celebrated Baroque streets and opportunities to pause over a coffee or a meal, while Eloro beach provides a coastal outing approximately ten kilometres away. Returning to Arancia e Limone, the two houses offer space to regroup, cook and continue the evening together. This combination of independent accommodation and shared outdoor living is central to the property's appeal for larger groups.
