Things to See Around Case Luparello



The countryside of south-eastern Sicily is an excellent starting point for a variety of experiences: seaside villages, nature reserves, beaches and historic Baroque town centres. The closest destinations can be explored in just a few hours, while others deserve an entire day, followed by the pleasure of returning in the evening to a cool, comfortable apartments.

MARZAMEMI AND SPINAZZA BEACH



Marzamemi deserves a leisurely stroll, especially in the late afternoon. Piazza Regina Margherita, the old tuna fishery, the fishermen's houses, outdoor cafés and small shops give the village its unmistakable character. Visitors can stop for an aperitif, stay for dinner or simply wander through the narrow streets. Nearby Spinazza Beach is also perfect for spending a few hours by the sea.

VENDICARI NATURE RESERVE AND SAN LORENZO



Vendicari is one of the natural attractions not to be missed. Its trails wind through Mediterranean scrubland, salt flats and birdwatching areas, past traces of the area's historic tuna-fishing industry and landscapes combining sand, water and vegetation. For another day by the sea, San Lorenzo is known for its pale sandy beaches and clear waters. This allows guests to enjoy nature and the coastline at their own pace, without giving up a relaxing swim in the pool at the end of the day.

NOTO



Noto is best discovered on foot along Corso Vittorio Emanuele, among the Cathedral of San Nicolò, the façades of Baroque palaces, squares and staircases. It is also a wonderful place to visit in the evening, when the golden stone changes colour and cafés bring the streets to life. A visit can include the historic centre, a stop to sample local specialities and a stroll among the architectural masterpieces for which the Val di Noto is renowned.

PORTOPALO DI CAPO PASSERO AND ISOLA DELLE CORRENTI



Further south lies Portopalo, a fishing village overlooking a more open and rugged landscape. From there, visitors can continue to Isola delle Correnti, one of the most iconic locations at the southernmost tip of Sicily. The sea, light, wind and wide-open horizons are the main reasons to stop here. These destinations are particularly appealing to those who want to explore stretches of coastline different from those around Marzamemi.

Plan your days in Sicily



To explore the coast and the towns of southeast Sicily, we recommend travelling by car. Combine a stroll through Marzamemi with the beaches of San Lorenzo, take time to enjoy the nature of Vendicari and set aside an evening for Noto.


For Syracuse and Ortigia, Modica, Ragusa Ibla or Scicli, allow a full day: you can explore the historic centre at leisure and stop to taste local specialities. Before setting off, check your route, opening hours and access arrangements for nature reserves and cultural sites.
