AGRICAMPING SOPHIA
Who are we? We are a group of musicians, educators and "philosophers" who have decided to roll up their sleeves and come up with a way not to leave their land ...just going back to the land. Leveraging on our proud scouts and peasant roots, we set up a specialized camp site, for tents only,in one of the most enchanting places in Sicily. However, if you do not want to give up too many comforts, we also have a "village" area dedicated to wooden bungalows, mobile homes and glamping tents.
Where are we? Between Marzamemi and Pachino, in the municipality of Noto, close to the Vendicari Reserve and the sandy beaches of San Lorenzo, a strategic area to easily visit the south-eastern Sicily, especially the Baroque and archaeological areas of Noto, Scicli, Modica, Ragusa, Syracuse, Palazzolo Acreide, Ispica and Rosolini. We are also a few kilometers from Portopalo di Capo Passero and from the caribbean beaches on the Mediterranean such as Carratois, Costa dell'Ambra and Granelli.
Where to eat? In addition to the numerous farmhouses and restaurants that the area offers, personally tested for you (you understand the sacrifice...), which we will indicate to you from time to time in relation to your culinary desires, you cannot miss try our
brioches stuffed with ricotta for breakfast and our
focaccias for dinner! To find out more, click on
ristorazione! From the campsite it is also possible to directly access the adjacent
Vini Sultana, to be pampered by its tasting itineraries to the sound of wine and typical local products.
Where to shop? Within a few kilometers there are at least three supermarkets, various farms that sell their excellent fruit and vegetables and in Portopalo di Capo Passero you'll find a thriving fish market.
In any case, if you are looking for a typical tourist village, with group dances and aperitif games, unfortunately we are not for you. And
we don't have a swimming pool because, given that you can also find plenty of swimming pools in Milan or Turin, we would like you to come here to Sicily for our beaches and our sea. However, if you prefer to travel fifteen hundred kilometers to throw yourself into the pool, still send us an email and we will try to advise you as best we can ;)
MUSIC
We are all music enthusiasts and some of us are amateur musicians. The background music we play at our kiosk/focacceria is always the result of our selection, no random radios, summer hits or cold superfamous stuff.
Sometimes, in the evening we set up the instruments and play something ourselves, with the primary aim of involving you and passing the instruments to you, for a refreshing summer Jam Session!
Every now and then it can happen that some musician friend comes to visit us and delights us with their art for a few evenings! Stay tuned…
READ CAREFULLY! It's sad to keep saying it after years and years, but here we do waste separation and recycling and we do it the proper way. If your civic sense stays at home while you're on holiday, keep looking... We're probably not the right choice for you.

IF I REACH YOU ON FOOT, HOW DO I GET AROUND?
The Municipality of Noto is the
fourth largest municipality in Italy. Due to its ancient heritage, it preserves a territory of 555 square km for just under 25,000 inhabitants. Just out of statistical curiosity, we note that the Municipality of Noto has a population density of 45 inhabitants per square kilometre, therefore well below the Italian average (196 inhabitants per square kilometre) and the European average (115 inhabitants per square kilometre). And again out of the same curiosity, we also note how the Italian municipalities with a similar territorial extension all have a significantly greater number of inhabitants.
Marzamemi, the now sought-after touristy seaside village close to Pachino, finds itself administratively
split between the Municipality of Noto and the Municipality of Pachino. Some homes find themselves having...
