What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Handmade Sicilian tilework and rustic stone accents blend with harmonious pastels, sustaining a light, breathable feel as one transitions indoors.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The countryside sits fifteen minutes from Noto, surrounded by the limestone slopes of the Hyblaean hills.
The rooms
Handmade ceramic tiles and local stone line the interiors, and several suites open onto private terraces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 20-meter heated pool stretches between the carob groves, flanked by daybeds and shaded cabanas.
The spa
Treatment cabanas look onto the lawn, and the hammam centers on a heated slab of Mount Etna lava stone.
The gym
The limestone-floored fitness room holds stationary bikes, rowing machines, and free weights.
Codarossa Restaurant
Tables on the shaded terrace serve regional dishes seasoned with extra-virgin olive oil pressed from the estate's groves.
At the table
Morning buffets of regional cheeses, cured meats, and fresh pastries are laid against illuminated limestone walls.
How it began
The estate takes its name from a wild fox encountered in the overgrown courtyard when the founders first arrived.
