What they say
Also in Wallpaper*.
Completely in step with the setting, the newly minted three-bedroom Casa Scianna mines a faded vintage aesthetic courtesy of its co-owner Edoardo Marchiori who has channeled a long stint as senior fashion editor at Italian Glamour into a second career as an interior designer.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Noto Cathedral is a ten-minute walk downhill, through residential streets lined with Baroque architecture and neighborhood trattorias.
