The Experience
Both spaces have been superbly designed inside while preserving exposed stone walls, arches, beams and bamboo ceilings – even an original Sicilian kitchen, purely decorative now. The thickest walls keep you cool in summer, warm in winter (although there is air con in every room) and each has their private slice of garden along with the run of all the pretty grounds and a swimming pool planned soon.
Kitchens are modern, industrial looking and generous, the walls have a mix of stunning art and old agricultural baskets, bathrooms have showers in plain, spotless stone. Kind Luigi leaves you fruit, coffee, a bottle of local wine and pistachio nuts – you’ll be drawn to enjoy them from a bench in the grounds with views to the sea and birds twittering overhead – spot bats at night.
You’re close to Noto and Avola for culture, restaurants and fish markets; taste wine at a Cantina down the road, find endless beaches for swimming and picnics.

Wonderful week spent at La Tannura Grande. Luigi, the owner, has created a beautiful spacious apartment, putting much love into the space – full of interesting objects and with a great kitchen area. A terrace links to a large shared garden with views across countryside and glimpses of the sea. An abundance of wild flowers the garden, land and all over Sicily. Luigi, is welcoming and very responsive. At night, the quiet was only broken by the haunting song of the Asiolo. Thanks Luigi for a great and magical stay.

A beautiful, idyllic spot set amongst olive groves, ideally located for historical sites, mountains, sea and life! We enjoyed the silence, the green, the very tastefully furnished house every minute! The exceptionally personable and helpful host Luigi gives you a feeling of being at home! We hope to come back!!!!

Location
The neighbourhood
Walks abound from the door, the garden is peaceful for yoga and you can trek to ravines and caves for wild swimming spots. Noto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is a beautiful Baroque city, 4kms. Avola is 2kms, quiet in winter, busier in summer, with an old town, lots of food shops and fish to buy for the barbecue. Beaches are near, some sandy, some pebbled and with clear seas. Syracuse is 18kms.
Local points of interest from Luigi Pau
- In the vicinity of the property it is possible to go trekking to Cava Grande del Cassibile (the lakes), ancient Noto and Pantalica
- La Tannura is located a few km from the sea where it is possible to go on a walk on the coast or jog for those who love to keep fit.
- There are many historical and cultural centres to visit such as the city of Noto (baroque), Syracuse, Scicli, Modica, Ragusa.
- Lovers of water sports will find many clubs, where it is possible to practice Kayaking, Surfing, Kitesurfing, SUP etc
- There are excellent restaurants on site, where it is possible to taste typical Sicilian cuisine.
- Among the most evocative beaches are those of Vendicari, Gelsomineto, Calamosche, Eloro, Carratois. Just ask the owner Luigi about the places to visit, the best restaurants and the most fun activities.

Introducing
Luigi Pau
Luigi, who lives on site, worked for the United Nations for many years. He bought the farm and the land in 2014 and two architects from Naples worked on the renovations for two years. They opened to guests in 2016. He loves having guests and sharing his beautiful home. His other passions are kite surfing, kayaking and mountain biking so he can lead you to all the best spots.
This is a wonderful place to stay, especially in May with the wild flowers. Luigi was a very welcoming host and we loved our house and the garden. It was very peaceful but close enough to a lot of interesting places to visit. We would highly recommend it.
