To almost the very south of Sicily, not far from the stunning Baroque city of Noto, you will find the dreamy little hamlet of Marzamemi. A historic fishing village, it has a charming old centre that dates back to the 18th century. Clustered around the Piazza Regina Margherita and looking out onto perfect beaches, Marzamemi is characterised by pretty little buildings draped in flowers, elegant open spaces, dining on colourful tables and chairs directly overlooking the sea, historic architectural gems, and a relaxed atmosphere.

This is one of those little places that one discovers on a holiday and with which one falls irrevocably in love. It is one of those gems of a destination that draw those in the know back time and time again. If you want to discover it for yourself, then we recommend a stay at Villa Paolina, a gorgeous two-bedroom villa with a private pool and sweeping sea views, just outside of town.
