Glamping in Sicily at IUTA Glamping & Farm
Last updated on December 17th, 2025.
'Jump in the golf cart and we’ll take you to your tent.'
It wasn't quite what we were expecting to hear on our first try at glamping in Sicily. But after greeting our hosts at IUTA Glamping & Farm we did as we were told and hopped onboard.
For our first experience of a Sicily glamping site, we were instantly drawn to the unusual mode of transportation.
One of the best places to go glamping in Sicily, IUTA Glamping & Farm is Italy bucket list material.
What is glamping?
If you're unfamiliar with the term ‘glamping’, it basically translates to glamorous camping.
It means being able to fully enjoy the outdoors and return to camp-style accommodation — just with all the mod cons.
And, when planning a trip to Italy, IUTA Glamping & Farm guarantees a unique glamping experience in Noto, Sicily.
Like many glamping sites, IUTA is eco-friendly and is passionate about promoting sustainable tourism. Examples of this includes preparing meat-free meals and working with companies that share its ethos.
Glamping in Sicily was a different experience compared to our stay at the sublime Caravanserai Luxury Desert Camp in Morocco.
Though two different countries and cultures, both glamping sites shared similar values of respecting the surrounding nature.

Glamping in Sicily at IUTA Glamping & Farm
IUTA (pronounced yoo-ta) Glamping & Farm is run by Italian couple Elena and Giulio.
It’s hard to not to be immediately drawn to the both of them. Elena, vivacious, warm and engaging, matches Giulio’s kind and hospitable nature.
Their love of the outdoors, for nature and for the land is clear.
Staying at IUTA Glamping & Farm almost feels like you're living in Sicily. The territory is inviting, the hosts are charming and you instantly feel like you're at home.
Accommodation types at IUTA Glamping & Farm
There are 5 luxury tent lodges within the grounds. Each have a good distance between them to ensure you enjoy a private and peaceful stay.
Towards the pool area are 4 luxury boutique suites, each which come with its own private small pool.
Though situated in the Sicilian countryside, the luxury tents make you feel like you’re on an African safari trip.
Watching the landscape at sunrise, or sunset, does wonders for your mental wellbeing. Romantic, wild and boundless, come here to take a long time out from the rest of the world.
Luxury lodges at IUTA Glamping & Farm
Each luxury lodge measures 30sqm giving more than enough space for your belongings inside. As mentioned at the beginning, guests can get around IUTA Glamping & Farm by golf cart (for the lodges).
It's a big help for getting some cool respite from the Sicilian sun.
As we pulled up in the golf cart, we were instantly impressed by the outdoor veranda.
Two wooden cushioned deck chairs make an ideal spot for reading and relaxing. A rustic outdoors table and chair set add the finishing touches.
The bedroom — Sicily glamping
Wake up each morning to the sound of birdsong chirping away in the fields outside.
Staying at IUTA Glamping & Farm allows you to be close to nature, just from the comfort of your bed. I challenge you to feel anything but rejuvenated and relaxed after one night here.
Boho style
The style of decor inside embraces both bohemian and rustic design. Many of the pieces in the tents are sourced and made in Noto; something Elena and Giulio are proud to promote.
A king bed with quality linens and luxury pillows takes center stage. Getting a good night’s sleep at IUTA Glamping and Farm is guaranteed as is a comfortable stay.
Additional facilities include air conditioning and heating units, complimentary WiFi, a coffee machine and a 43' flat screen TV. There’s also a mini bar and a safe to store any valuable belongings.
IUTA Glamping & Farm bathroom — Sicily glamping sites
If I'd to re-do our bathroom, I’d base its design on the one at IUTA Glamping and Farm. Sleek, minimal yet functional, it has everything you need to accommodate your stay.
Two well-sized double sinks give each guest plenty of space while also reducing the risk of any potential arguments. Toiletries are provided courtesy of Zenology.
This Dutch brand produces eco-friendly soaps, shampoos and creams without any allergenic or artificial dyes. There’s an indoor, as well as an outdoor, shower which is a godsend once the Sicilian summer arrives.

Things to do at IUTA Glamping & Farm
Sicily glamping sites like IUTA Glamping & Farm offer more than just a place to stay.
Outdoor activities include a good-size swimming pool, which is a godsend for keeping cool during the hotter months in Sicily.
A place to chill
Come to the clubhouse to chill, get hydrated and to also enjoy outdoor Italian breakfasts and a healthy light lunch.
Help yourself to the complimentary water flavored with refreshing limes or cucumbers. There’s also an indoor and outdoor area; the latter covered by a canopy to take shade from the Sicilian heat.
When the sun begins to set, take your drink of choice to the upstairs veranda. From here, you’ll see a magnificent sunset plus far-reaching views of the IUTA landscape and further afield.
Collect your own fruit at IUTA Glamping & Farm
Sicily is the home of perfectly perfumed lemons, oranges and many other fruits.
As you wander through the orchards, you might notice some oranges and lemons that have fallen from the trees.
Feel free to collect them and bring them to the clubhouse. You can enjoy the fruits on site along with a scenic view.
Homegrown olive oil
You’re probably already aware of the many health benefits of good olive oil.
Sicilian olive oil is rich in flavor, taste and fragrance. It has a deep green yellowy color and tastes superb in many dishes.
At IUTA Glamping & Farm, they grow their own olive oil, which you can buy and take home.
They typically give guests a small bottle of olive oil to take away. At 100ml, it's the ideal size if you arrive with just carry-on luggage.
Yoga at IUTA Glamping & Farm
Combine the elements of exercise and the Sicilian countryside at one of their yoga retreats. Classes usually take place weekly (during the summer months), and all levels are welcome.
If this interests you, check with IUTA Glamping & Farm beforehand. Yoga classes can be rescheduled if the weather won't be suitable on the day.
How to reach IUTA Glamping & Farm
The luxury lodges are 1.2mi (2km) away (around 8 minutes' drive) from the center of Noto in southern Sicily.
The historic center has plenty of things to do see and do. Noto is known for its jaw-dropping cathedral, decorated stone balconies and famous Sicilian baroque architecture. It also happens to be one of the most beautiful places in Sicily to visit.
Come May, the annual flower festival comes to town, attracting droves of locals and tourists alike.
The Infiorata di Noto brings in prominent artists, who line the street of Via Corrado Nicolaci with a colorful floral display.
A great base
The best way to get around Sicily is by hiring a car. Elena and Giulio can provide GPS information to ensure that you arrive at the right address.
IUTA Glamping & Farm is also a great location if you plan to do day trips around Sicily.
From its base, it’s possible to visit the cities of Syracuse and Ortygia, Ragusa and Taormina, as well as Mount Etna.
The nearest airport to IUTA Farm
Catania Fontanarossa is the nearest international airport in Sicily to reach Noto.
It takes around 45 minutes — depending on traffic — to reach IUTA Glamping & Farm. You can easily hire a car at the airport.
When is a good time to visit Sicily?
Noto really comes to life in late spring (late April, early May) and can be a good time to visit Sicily.
The weather begins to get warmer and you’ll see an abundance of produce growing everywhere.
Summer in Sicily (July/August) can be unbearably hot and is much busier too. However, it’s still a beautiful time to visit and IUTA Glamping & Farm provides a tranquil hideaway during the busy period.

I can see why you love to head here. It looks glorious. The bedrooms are stunning. Though I’ve never had an argument over a sink. Life’s too short. ?
Haha I didn't think you were the type!
This really is glamping. It sounds amazing and I love that you can pick your own fruit from the orchards. I'd consider this when we get to Sicily.
It's wonderful, especially for families. I hope you can come and visit one day!
Wow!! What an amazing experience! Soooo luxurious. And fresh juices! What’s not to love!
It's all that and more! x
I;ve never been intersted in glamping before, but this place is gorgeous! I would give it a try. Plus it's in Sicily! Love this island and everything it has to offer!
Aw so glad you enjoyed it Tiffany! Glamping in Sicily doesn't get any better than here at IUTA 😀
Now this is my kind of glamping! So beautiful with a variety of experiences...especially would love collecting my own olive oil.
It's really an opportunity to be among nature and enjoy its produce 🙂
IUTA Glamping and Farm is located in a picturesque part of Noto in southern Sicily. The tents are comfortable, yet chic, and perfectly epitomises for me the meaning of glamping. There are personal touches in the tent, and I love that you can take a golf caddy to get to your room! Take a long dip in the pool, or a stroll around the land; it’s one of those places you’ll want to return to again and again.
I'm so glad you had a great experience! It's a truly hidden gem in Noto, I can't wait to return either 😀
Wow, I’m totally sold on the bedroom and the bath, it is very luxurious. And all in for collecting fresh olive oil and picking fruits. The IUTA farm is definitely a ultimate glamping experience, A weekend here would be a blissful experience.
It's really a wonderful place to glamp in Sicily; and collecting your own natural produce is the icing on the cake 🙂
I have been caping with my family as a child. As an adult, I def want to try glamping this is more my speed, the grounds look beautiful and modern. I've never been to Sicily, ill have to look more into this place.
You really should glamp; you get the best of both! Plus in Sicily, it's an added bonus 🙂
Love the bohemian vibe of the accommodation and picking up fruits and vegetable from the farm is the most cherished thing to do. Your experience of glamping sounds fabulous.!
It's why it's the only way I plan to camp!
Thanks for explaining what glamping is. I'm not much of a camper but glamping in Europe sounds awesome!
Yes, come and join us glampers, it's the best of both worlds 😀
I've never gone glamping, but this seems like the place to do it! Those rooms are gorgeous, plus the pool and pick your own olive oil?? What a dreamy trip!
It is! And an ideal way to spend time in nature too 🙂
This looks such unique experience in sicily.Looks luxurious and I had never such amazing stay.IUTA farm looks best to experience in sicily.thanks for sharing
Loved reading and looks fun too.
You're welcome! I appreciate your feedback, it's an incredible spot
I absolutely love Italy and Sicily so glamming there sounds amazing! The wall sized windows look like it would be my favorite part of the room. I would also love to learn how to collect my own olive oil.
It's such a unique experience, and one where you can enjoy the outdoors of the Sicilian countryside too 🙂
Wow that tent looks 5 star! Love the sound of collecting your own olive oil- something really different 🙂
It's awesome, and such a unique experience
So beautiful! I really think that bathroom is far nicer than anything I have ever lived in! I love that they allow you to pick fruit. We camp a lot, but this would be a nice compromise if you're heading to Italy for a non camping vacation!
It's so beautiful! And picking your own fruit to make your own juice is the icing on the cake
IUTA Farm looks absolutely fabulous for a glamping experience in Sicily. Just the way you've described it - being taken to your tent in a golf cart, wooden benches with cushions outside the tents to relax and the feel of being on an African safari - wow. The room looks really cosy and comfortable too, and its super cool that they even have a swimming pool to take a dip in and a clubhouse. What a dream vacation, picking your own fruit, doing yoga in those lovely surroundings. Perfect!
It's one of the best glamping sites I've been to! And I can't wait for the swimming pool to re-open and for yoga to begin 🙂
This is so beautiful! I love to go camping, but do like to spice it up with some glamping campsites. This is impeccable! I would love to stay here during the fall harvest. I can imagine that it's bustling and still so beautiful. IUTA really resembles an outdoor hotel. One of the prettiest glamping sites I've seen.
It really is! And it's amazing to be among the nature of the Sicilian countryside x
Glamping in IUTA looks really enjoyable. The room and the bathroom are so chic and airy. The outdoor activities around the farm are hard to miss. Picking your own oranges and turned it into a juice, wow... I want to experience staying at this farm.
It's an experience really unlike any other! Come and see it for yourself
The tents are gorgeous! And I love that you can add on A/C and Wifi. The pool and yoga retreat make this even more appealing! And, you're completely right that it looks like you're on a safari rather than within Sicily.
It really has that feel! Yoga here will be awesome
This looks like it would be up my alley as I could certainly use some glamping R&R. I was actually in the north of Italy last week. Looks like I may have to return for an experience like this.
You do, and the south is so different too 🙂
I've never tried glamping before and I guess it lots of fun and activities. Perfect way to distressed and to unwind. By the way, I really love your room. It looks so relaxing.
We were so spoiled at IUTA; I can't wait to return 🙂
I have only done glamping twice and had a good experience. This looks like a great experience. Will have to bookmark it and check it out.
Please do, it's a wonderful place
I love this idea of Glamping ( thats such a funny world tho 😀 ). You can still stay close to the nature but you don't have to worry about uncomfortable bed and bags all over you! I love the bathroom as well, its so stylish! Have to book my trip tp Sicily as soon as possible!
I hear you! It's a great term, and the only way I like to camp! Come and visit soon
This is something which is definitely going on my radar for things to do in Italy. Haven't really done clamping before, but this post makes me want to experience it. And when theres so many experiences on board, along with that sexy looking bathroom and that Instagrammable pool, who can say no ?
Lol I've never heard anyone describe a bathroom as sexy before, but there's a first time for everything! Come and visit IUTA!
Glamping is my ultimate travel goal and this glamp site looks soooo divine! I'd love to experience this some day, especially love the idea of being able to pick your own fruits and making your own juice! Such a simple thing that adds so much value to an excursion like this!
Thank you, you're so right! We loved our time here and had an awesome time. Experience your first glamping at IUTA!
IUTA Farm looks like a beautiful place for glamping. And there are so many things to do - swimming, dining and picking fruits. The last one would be my favourite. I would love to pick up fruits and make juices. The place seems just perfect.
You really get the best from the nature there, and get to try it too!
I've never been glamping like this before, but it looks like fun! I would love to visit here someday.
I hope you do too! It's stunning here
This place looks so so perfect. Totally my kinda place. Did you manage to do some star-gazing? I'm super duper happy to know that it's child friendly as well. I could just spend hours together laying on the chairs outside. Just prefect!
Yes, we did! The air's so clear and clean that we could see a starry night 🙂
My first time hear glamping and it was really exciting. I have never been there but it sounds like a nice destination for campers.
Try glamping, you may never go back to camping 🙂
That is pretty cool! I love to have an experience this glamping! I love this kind of idea. Thanks for sharing ♥
You're welcome! I hope you visit one day
I enjoyed your beautiful pictures. I have never been tried glamping, it certainly is on my list
Go to IUTA! It's such a gorgeous site in Sicily
Now this is my type of getaway, a bush experience with glam.
If I'm ever to go camping, this will be it.
That's great to know, get in touch should you ever want to visit!
That room looks so cozy! I know for a fact Camping is not for me but would love to have a Glamping experience like this!! I didn't know Sicily gets so crazy hot in summer, but seeing you visited now and the farm still had fresh fruits and such pleasant weather, would definitely want to visit in March or April! Loved your clicks btw!
Aw thank you! Yes, it gets very hot in summer, so late spring is a good time to visit 🙂
Have yet to go glamping but would love to. This place would be perfect if I visit Sicily and bonus that they even have a pool.
They do, and I can attest that it's wonderful especially in summer!
Such a beautiful place. Even better than a hotel. Thanks you for sharing.
You're welcome, thanks for commenting
Wow, this really does look like an African safari! I've been looking at hotels in Sicily and I never would have thought to go glamping there instead, but now I'm really intrigued. I especially like the idea of getting to help make my own olive oil with the owners- how fun! This is going on my short list of places to consider for my trip. Thanks for the detailed information!
That's so great to read Leslie! IUTA is such an awesome place and right in the heart of nature too
Looks like a nice place to visit during weekends. Nice reading your guide about the way to enjoy the place to the fullest.
Thank you!

Thanks Ruma, glad you enjoyed it!
how cool is that! I love glamping more than regular camping to be honest
I totally agree with you!
This looks amazing. Definitely a trip I would love to do with the hubby! Do you think its kid friendly?
It's very kid friendly! There's a section in the post 🙂
Wow Glamping is a fun term for glamorous camping. I would love it. You have captured Sicily beautifully in your post.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
What a fantastic and beautiful place to experience glamping! I'd love to visit Sicily.
You have to visit, and it's family friendly too!
Glamping sounds like a great balance to get a taste of the outdoors and roughing it! Not a bad way to travel if you ask me.
Not at all! We love being here
Glamping indeed! That "tent" is so beautifully designed. I wish I could live there!
It's a gorgeous place!
What a trip and the space looks amazing! I'd love to head back to Sicily and go glamping one day.
It really is! Come back and see IUTA, you'll love it
Love the pictures so much! I love how open Sicily looks
It's a gorgeous island and beautiful site
I've always wanted to go glamping before. I would love to stay in a place like this.
Consider staying here, it's great for families too!
this looks like such a great place! I'm not a huge fan of camping, but I am all about glamping. Sounds like a blast!
Me too! I love glamping as you get to spend time outdoors, just in style!
Awesome. Thanks so much for the information!
You're welcome!
Thanks for sharing your glamping experience. I am an avid traveler and have never been doing camping or glamping so far. I like to have it once in my life. Thanks for inspiring me.
You're welcome, I hope you get to try glamping one day, it's the only way I like to camp!
I have always wanted to travel to Sicily and I have always wanted to try glamping. This is perfect I can combine both in just one visit. I love the rustic feel of the accommodation. The views over the countryside are divine.
It's an incredible place, and I highly urge you to consider staying here when you do visit. You really get the best of both here
I bet spending the summer at IUTA would be so great and looks romantic. I like the idea of picking my own olives and having a morning stroll.
Sicily is a beautiful place that I would be thrilled to visit Nd perhaps stay for a month!
It's that kind of place!
What a breathtaking view of Sicily...it's just so dreamy. I would love to visit someday! Sounds like you had an amazing experience camping on the farm.
IUTA is gorgeous! I hope you get to visit; it's truly breathtaking
Oh my days! This place is so beautiful and those views! I could easily book up and stop here for a week or two. 🙂
Definitely consider booking! It's great for families with children too 🙂
glamping is perfect for those who want a little bit of luxury mixed in with nature. It really is a fun time. Thanks for sharing. This place looks awesome
Thank you, it really is! And so unique too x
Omg what an awesome place to go camping!
It's not camping, it's glamping 😉 !
Beautiful scenery and picking your own fruit - how fun! That place definitely beats the camping we did as kids. Plus, there is wine. The AC really makes it feel more like a lodge or cabin.
Yes, these are luxury lodges, and as you said, with wine lol! We loved every second at IUTA
This looks like the perfect oasis of relaxation. I haven't done glamping before but with such a nice tent with a proper bed in it, I'll surely look for the next occasion to try it. I like that you can try local activities like making olive oil and picking fruits.
It's really a one of a kind experience, and for your first glamping experience you can do no wrong here at IUTA x
Holy moly. This is the only way you'll ever get me to go camping. It's like a hotel in the wilderness! I love it.
Lol thanks Stacie! It's so remote that you can relax, but close enough to see the centre of Noto and other Sicilian cities 🙂
As an Italian do you believe that I didn't know this side of Sicily? It's incredibly real and beautiful!
Aw you have to visit! Where in Italy are you based?
I love glamping. The bathroom here is cool I love the wood features. I’d love to stay there for the juicing my own fresh fruit.
That's the best option! And the grounds are so peaceful too
This is such a cool concept! Even though i enjoy the down and dirty camping, this would be a great change of pace.
Absolutely! It's nice to have a change sometimes too 😀
i wrote about glamping before and totally forgot abou it. i told myself i will bring my boys to glamping one day. thanks for reminding.
That's great to read! Glamping is the only way I like to camp 🙂
This place looks awesome! I'd love to stay in the countryside in a place like this- can't even believe it's a tent!
This is glamping! And it's really a gorgeous place to stay
Despite being part Sicilian, I never had a desire to visit Sicily. I've been seeing more and more blogs about it, and this post in particular has thrown it towards the top of my list! I wouldn't think of Sicily as a "glamping" destination, but this experience looks beautiful! I love that traditional elements of Sicilian culture such as bottling your own olive oil (YES) and picking fresh produce are incorporated. I love the minimalist look of the bedroom, it totally lends itself to a relaxing stay! Thanks for sharing such a unique perspective of this destination!
Aw you're so welcome! We're always in Sicily, and trust me, you really have to visit. Noto is particularly beautiful plus you get to glamp here too!
This is such a my way of staying! Absolutely loved everything about this place. Away from the city life with ample vegetation around! ?
Thank you! IUTA Glamping & Farm is the best place to glamp in Noto
Wow that room looks so good that I wouldn’t have thought it was in a tent!
It really has that feeling! We enjoyed it so much
Wow! It looks just like an African safari!
Lol it really feels like it too when you're there!
