Masseria degli Ulivi
Noto (SR)
The Masseria degli Ulivi is a scenic hospitality structure that sits within an ancient master estate immersed in the Iblea countryside of Val di Noto, rich with olive trees, carob trees and Mediterranean plants. The different areas of the building today face the “baglio” a typical patio of rural architecture which once housed activities related to farming. The rooms of Masseria degli Ulivi, far removed from the communal areas, one breathes calmness and intimacy, thanks to the use of materials typical of old rural dwellings in the Ibleo area and of traditional furniture. In the evenings in the comfortable halls with their typical plaster and cane ceilings, under intimate candlelight, guests enjoy dishes of local tradition prepared with vegetables freshly cut from the garden and with local ingredients. A swimming-pool surrounded by olive and carob trees, a sport area, a “health itinerary” along the estate’s pathways, a SPA with three “Jacuzzi biopools”: this is what defines authentic wellness at Masseria degli Ulivi. Distance from main point of interest:
- 8,3 km Cattedrale di Noto
- 18,1 km Vendicari Natural Reserve

Restaurant
The restaurant of Masseria degli Ulivi is characterized by an intimate atmosphere with cordial hospitality, comfortable halls, with traditional plaster and cane ceilings, cosy light from the candles, and discreet, affable service, always with an eye on guests’ requests and demands. In the warmer months, the day begins with breakfast on the outdoor terrace, amongst the fragrances and colours of the countryside, and wraps up with dinner in a very evocative atmosphere, overlooking olive trees bathed by moonlight. A wide and accurately selected range of traditional foods, re-elaborated with taste and lightness, thanks to the use of local products such as PDO Sicilian cheeses, olive oil from Val di Noto, fresh fish from our seas, fresh and cured meats from local farms, organically grown fruits and vegetables. The kitchen of Masseria degli Ulivi counts on the produce from its organic garden, where local vegetables are planted and harvested fresh every day to prepare all the dishes.
Thanks to a collaboration with the Maìdda artisan workshop and laboratory in Noto, every single day, bread made with ancient stone-ground Sicilian grains is served.
Wellness center
Perfectly inserted in the surrounding landscape, the SPA of Masseria degli Ulivi consists of three “bio-pools” of different shapes and sizes, built with technology specifically designed to result in low environmental impact. Equipped with an aerotherapeutic system and Jacuzzis mineralised with potassium and magnesium salts, in different temperatures, the pools offer an outdoor wellness itinerary that is fully immersed in nature. There are also water’s edge areas, stainless steel showers and relaxation areas with cots. In a reserved nearby area, in the shade of a gazebo, it is possible, upon request, to experience massage sessions and specific treatments for the entire body.
Bar
The wine cellar of Masseria degli Ulivi carries the island’s best labels, especially those from Val di Noto, whose autochthonous production of reds and whites focuses on Nero d’Avola, Cerasuolo di Vittoria, Etna (red and white), Insolia and Grillo. The selection is made even more precious by the addition of sweet and meditation wines, such as Moscato di Noto, passito, late harvests and also dry spumanti, the new promising frontier of modern Sicilian oenology.
