Hotel Villa Favorita

The location is good as it is near to Noto, some beaches as well as other Agriturismo properties for varied meal options. You will need a car to get around. The staff in the restaurant were outstanding & charming. The Front Desk staff were welcoming but one that we found a little tricky. They have a big pool which was a welcomed relief from the heat of the day.

For the amount we paid we thought the Rooms were very small & basic. If you are planning a 1 or 2 day stay, it's sufficient but anything longer it's not advisable for long stay or families. Rooms lacked sufficient wardrobe & or storage space for big luggage. The Pillows also needed replacing but to be fair we probably should have asked for more Pillows. The amenities in the shower, were not great, bare minimum. Again, if you are going to stay for awhile, would recommend that you bring a bottle of your own liquid soap. Rather surprising to us, was when we went to exchange our Pool towels after 3rd day of our stay, we were informed that to exchange them for fresh ones, we would be charged 2 Euro per towel. We travel frequently but we've never experienced this at a Hotel before. Understandably you want to encourage guests not to waste, so every day to change I can understand. But 3 days after or longer, it didn't make sense. Particularly since they give you no option in the room to hang your towel up or a drying rack outside to hang the towel over. Maybe rethink this charge policy & instead encourage guests to change after 3 days or instal additional hanging hooks in the rooms to hang & air wet towels. The breakfast was enjoyable but not much variety compared to other properties we stayed at in the region. We had dinner some evenings at the hotel but it was pretty average so we opted to eat out at nearby Agriturismo's. Be warned, there is no parking in the city of Noto. Unfortunately we did not know this beforehand & ventured out for dinner only to have to return soon thereafter. The hotel have a pre-reservation policy but our situation of no parking, was beyond our control. As we had no other option we returned to the hotel & asked if we cld be accommodated. Restaurant was not full.
