Noto – terracielo in the heart of the historic centre#97520

In the Baroque heart of Noto, independent residence with panoramic terrace and view of Porta Ferdinandea

A few steps from the famous Porta Ferdinandea and Corso Vittorio Emanuele, in the heart of Noto – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and undisputed symbol of Sicilian Baroque – stands this charming detached property, located in the historic and picturesque district of ‘Macchina del Ghiaccio’.

This residence, arranged over three floors and currently divided into three independent residential units, represents a rare opportunity for those wishing to invest in a prestigious historical setting without compromising on comfort, functionality and beauty.

The property in detail

The building covers a total area of approximately 190 m², harmoniously distributed over three floors, connected by a common internal staircase. Each floor houses a separate flat, with independent access from the stairwell, ideal for use as accommodation, a holiday home or a multi-family dwelling.

Ground Floor – Apartment of approximately 75 m²
Access is via a shared entrance hall leading to the first apartment, comprising a bright living area with open-plan kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, hallway and an internal light well that provides air and light to the rooms at the rear.

First Floor – Twin Apartment (approx. 75 m²)
This floor mirrors the layout of the lower floor, but enjoys greater brightness thanks to its height and exposure. It also consists of a large living area with integrated kitchen, two double bedrooms, a full bathroom and a convenient hallway at the entrance. The rooms are airy and welcoming.

Second Floor – Apartment with terrace (40 m² interior + 25 m² exterior)
This floor is the most valuable part of the property. It consists of a living area with kitchen-dining room, a double bedroom, a bathroom and a magnificent 25 m² terrace. From here, there is a spectacular view of Porta Ferdinandea, the monumental entrance to the historic centre of Noto, and the surrounding public gardens. A perfect spot for al fresco dining, relaxing or simply enjoying the Baroque cityscape.

Context and location

The property is located in one of the most sought-after areas of the city: centrally located but away from the busiest tourist areas, it guarantees privacy and tranquillity while being just a few minutes’ walk from all the main points of interest.
Corso Vittorio Emanuele, with its majestic Baroque churches, noble palaces and historic shops, is less than a two-minute walk away. There are also cafés, gourmet restaurants, traditional food shops, pharmacies, tobacconists and a post office in the immediate vicinity.

Unlike many central areas, the neighbourhood offers real parking possibilities even during the summer season, a detail that should not be overlooked in a city of art such as Noto.
