Noto hotellia

Plussat: Location, transfers to beach, lovely staff and terrace bar and bar man.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Access by car very difficult. Info on hotel site not clear about it.

Plussat: Family room was a lovely size with separate bedroom for our daughter. Staff were so helpful and friendly and location was superb.

Plussat: Great location and staff -

Plussat: I had a wonderful experience . Hotel has the old charm but with new amenities and whatever you need for a comfortable stay. Roof top and the complimentary drink was a plus. Have a drink watching the sun goes down behind the old churches after a day walking around beautiful Noto is all you need. Definitely a place to return. Highly recommended

Plussat: -clean bedding and good tidying up services -very friendly and helpful staff -nice location with fantastic beaches nearby -well maintained and very secured property

Miinukset: -too many stairs within a same level -lack of English speaking staff sometimes

Plussat: Perf

Miinukset: Very good location, close to everything, clean and very comfortable. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. Definitely would come back again. The food is very good too. Lots of variety.

Plussat: We loved our stay here - it’s a small hotel in a great location and the rooms and staff were fantastic. The bed was so comfy and the rooms were light and full equipped with everything we needed. As for location, I don’t think it could have got better. We also paid for a transfer to the airport which was very efficient and good value

Plussat: Position, room cleaness

Plussat: The suite was great for a family of 4 (we have 2 young kids).

Plussat: The facility is great, nice setting, comfy rooms, beautiful garden with all of kind trees.

Miinukset: It’s plenty of nasty flies that make difficult relaxing when you are outside . Staff was welcoming and attentive, but when I said I did not recall I had ordered something at the bar when It came to do the check out and pay, they did not check whether the charge was correct or instead a mistake .

Plussat: Beautifully appointed. Very stylish and comfortable. All of the staff without exception were welcoming attentive and helpful. Exceptional staff means they are doing a lot right. Great evening meal. We were recommended the catch of the day and it was delicious

Plussat: Amazing food, we love the kids cinema and bicyle

Miinukset: A bit too modern

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent offering local produce and very fresh tasy fruits. Good selection of proteins - cheeses and quality meats. My daughter booked your beautifyl villa and wheeas at first I thought the distance from Noto city would have been a mistake it turned out to be the best decision possible. Our first night at dinner with the saxaphone player walking around the pool added a great deal of ambieance and will always be a memory we will enjoy.

Miinukset: There was nothing I did not like. Initially the room was a surprise not having windows however, was not a problem overall.

Plussat: Loved everything! Beautiful facilities in amazing an location with wonderful staff who made our stay so memorable!

Plussat: Stunning location. Well-designed clean rooms. Breakfast. Restaurant staff.

Miinukset: 1. Reception staff were unhelpful - Absolute indifference to visitors. When you first arrived, you expect to be greeted with a smile and help. And the staff saw that we were carrying several suitcases ourselves, no one paid attention and did not offer help. And at the check-out (again !!!) I asked: help me bring the luggage to the parking lot now. Not in half an hour, not in an hour, but right now, I'm already leaving. I waited again and again no one helped me. For the first time in my life I come across such indifference from the reception. 2. The bathroom periodically smelled of sewage.

Plussat: The breakfast was good, although it was very hot on the terrace where the breakfast was served. Further explanation of what was on offer would have been useful. The pool area, gardens, grounds, tennis courts etc were fabulous. It would make an excellent holiday location for families who just want to stay around the hotel.

Miinukset: Some of the staff were a little brusque, some were very friendly, but for example when checking in I said I had made a dinner reservation for that evening, I was told there was no record of it, I had received a confirmation email and the reality was the restaurant was not even full, so really it should not have been questioned.

Plussat: Loved every moment. Amazing facilities and staff. I can’t wait to repeat the experience

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Arrival was excellent and welcoming, The bedrooms where very comfortable and spacioua, beds specifically extremely comfortable and large, Spa and pool was also excellent always kept clean... Grounds and hotel are well looked after and the staff and facilities gave an excellent service! Will visit again in the future for sure. Gluten free bread was also served and waiters helped with ordering and service.

Miinukset: A couple of things bugged me, 1) dinner (specifically bbq) was far from expectations and rather disappointed with the quality of the meat served, service was excellent on the other hand the restaraunt did not charge us for a couple of the mistakes hence the service was excellent. 2) Regarding Bedrooms upon arrival our room had alot of flies inside and a bad smell of insect spray which was not a pleasant surprise. 3) Air conditioner also did not always work (setting of temperature could only be made -2+2 degrees of what they set it on 18-22degree celcuis. At times too cold and during night it got too hot..

Plussat: The pool. The rooms. The grounds. Simply beautiful.

Miinukset: Staff working poolside were slow. The dinner options at the restaurant were overpriced. And the music played felt like it did not suit - it needed to be more contemporary and current. It made me feel like I was in a retirement home!

Plussat: Talon emännän suosittelemia huviä ravintploita

Plussat: The breakfast spread was fantastic. The host, Ambra, was extremely friendly. She gave us guidance and discounts for our pending journey to Mt. Etna. Also, she drove us into night and picked us up after dinner.

Miinukset: The B&B was out of town. This was more than balanced by our host transporting us to and from town.

Miinukset: To far from town, lucky we had a car.

Plussat: The owner was very kind and helpful, lovely people. The breakfast is an institution with products from the local farm

Miinukset: Location

Plussat: Ambra is a great host. Very warm and welcoming. Also always happy to give any kind of recommendations along the way. Already at our arrival she served us light meal/late breakfast, which was really appreciated. The view from the balcony or roof terrace is stunning and the house and rooms are all very clean. Ambra also has some privat parking spots at the back of the house. We stayed at the deluxe double room (city view)

Miinukset: The bathroom was a bit dated and there was no shower curtain, which led to a small flood after showering. Nonetheless it was super clear and tidy.

Miinukset: The fact that we arrived at the location and there was no one, although I said we would arrive at that time. I called a few times, I sent a message and it was answered only after a few hours. Time when we do not know whether or not we have accommodation for that evening. Location of the villa in a very unfriendly area, quite far from the center and the areas where you can dine

Plussat: The very welcoming, personal attention by the owners and staff as well as the attention to detail with organic food products was so welcome. We also were given personal advice and tips about places of interest to visit, restaurants, beaches etc. Our experience felt like home from home.

Plussat: Ambra and her father were a really warm, friendly and helpful hosts from the start until the end. We had drinks and a nice homemade cake left in our room as a welcome

Plussat: Welcoming and hospitable Excellent breakfast Good parking

Plussat: Ambra and her friend are very welcoming and nice. Great coffee!!

Miinukset: The bed was a bit small for us...

Plussat: Location and owner outstandingly helpful and friendly

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything was perfect.Quiet place, spacious clean rooms, hospitable and friendly host.The host does not speak English but works excellently with the Google translator.The room was cleaned every day, the towels too.

Plussat: large room and bathroom, comfortable and quiet, with good wifi. Host was helpful and pleasant and courteous. I was traveling alone and felt at home.

Plussat: Our host was helpful in planning a day trip to nearby villages. He used his translator app so there was no misunderstanding and we had great fun communicating that way. He also provided a map of downtown and parking and restaurant recommendations, which were much appreciated. We liked that the location was away from downtown, very quiet, and with a small balcony overlooking a green hillside.

Miinukset: There are four rooms in a single hallway and noise does carry a bit from room to room. I suppose it could be a problem but all the guests were quiet while we were there.

Plussat: Everything can be summed up in one word: Paolo. An excellent host. He was very kind and provide a lot of useful information for our trip and the best experience possible.

Plussat: Paulo is the perfect host!

Plussat: Very friendly staff. The room is large and has a large bedroom also

Miinukset: Nothing, the room is 8 minutes driving from Noto center. If you do not mind then the price quality ratio is xcellent. If you are looking for a room in the center of Noto than this is a little bit to far away.

Plussat: A genuine and welcoming place, especially convenient if heading inland from Noto.

Plussat: A nice villa hotel surrounded by beautiful nature. Pool area is good. Nice building. When arriving we felt they were very focused on the immediate little profit and decided not to spend much time at the resort. However the postal card size vintage TV in the room is on its own worth paying a visit.

Plussat: The building and grounds were beautiful! Just outside Noto but an easy drive and the staff were super friendly at giving parking suggestions.

Plussat: Beautiful location in the country side. Pool is very nice, the restaurant is surprisingly good. The staff is kind, available and provides good and timely information on the surrounding.

Miinukset: Given the size of the room, I consider it slightly overpriced. Should invest a bit on staff, rigid 10 AM check-out and 16 AM check-in is a bit old school. Internet not always working well.

Plussat: Great swimming pool. Friendly and personal staff. Nice garden.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: The staff was really nice. Perfect place to relax while being close to the busy spots (Noto, Marzamemi..).

Miinukset: Some noisy construction work during the day

Plussat: Beautiful grounds - a destination in itself. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast spread was fantastic.

Plussat: I though it was charming and the staff was really delightful. IT's not a concierge kind of hotel and we know that so we didn't have expectations that were unrealistic. Rooms (we got two) were wonderful and would have loved a big terrace but booked to late. would absolutely stay there again. Truly delightful.

Miinukset: Would have loved a bit more shade at the pool and we had dinner twice and one night was amazing, one of us ordered the same dish another night and it was no where near as good. (still good :-). Not much to complain about!! I travel a lot so it's rare for me to say, not much to complain about!!

Plussat: Infrastructure and food excelent!

Miinukset: Wi-fi was not working well. Our room (35) has little or no coverage for wi-fi (hence internet)

Plussat: Splendid food, location, pool and service.

Plussat: The restaurant is excellent, the food is lovely and the staff friendly and helpfull.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Food

Plussat: Breakfast is very good, set on the terrace. The overriding positive for this hotel is the staff, they are fantastic, nothing is too much bother.

Miinukset: Spa could be more accessible to hotel residents, fenced off, I never saw it used once in 10 days by anybody.

Plussat: The facilities were very pleasant and well kept. Simple sophistication, with all the essential amenities but no superfluous luxuries. Big gardens, huge and clean pool with lots of room for privacy, relaxing and private jacuzzi area. The rooms were very simple but comfortable and very clean. The staff were in general extremely nice and helpful. Breakfast was very good, with good bread and pastries and homemade cakes and jams and fresh fruit juices. We had dinner at the restaurant twice and it was superb. We would very happily go back.

Miinukset: The air conditioning wasn’t working 100% bu they fixed it.

Plussat: Peaceful and understated, with friendly service.

Miinukset: Had to have a car

Plussat: The breakfast was good, not exceptional, but a good range.

Plussat: Beautiful landscape set in a quiet country side, not far from Noto and Syracuse. Lots of beaches around, nice restaurant and bar on site, great swimming pool, tennis courts,ping-pong, great place for families...

Miinukset: Nothing. Perfect and relaxing stay.

Plussat: Practically everything.

Miinukset: No complaint about anything.

Plussat: The view across the national park from the pool area is very nice. The hotel is on the edge of the park so ideally situated for country walks. The standard of food in the restaurant (evening) is decent.

Miinukset: The location. You need a car to access local restaurants and bars. The closest area for such is Lido di Noto, which is very small and very closed during the day in September. The first hotel room was very small and noisy with passing guests in the corridor. Upon request we were switched rooms to a larger, quieter room, which was a big improvement. Rooms are quite old fashioned though.

Miinukset: Room on the small side

Plussat: It’s a lovely setting...offering peace & tranquility! Would like to return & stay longer.

Miinukset: €3 pool towel fee. No where in the world have we ever experienced such a fee to receive a 2nd pool towel, even in 2 star hotels!

Plussat: Fantastic views towards sea and nature reserve. Unspoiled beach only 20 mins walk through fields. Odd Greek theatre on side of path. Breakfast was best in Sicily. Special vote for homemade pastries and tarts.

Miinukset: The craters on the unpaved road to the hotel. After several storms was also 6ins deep at the bottom. No coincidence that we woke up to a punctured tyre. Owners apologised and they are in process of building new entrance. Not sure how much this will cost us. Luckily was day before our morning flight.

Plussat: We had a fantastic Traditional Sicilian dinner with folk dancing and music. Very good value.

Miinukset: I think it was expensive for the offering.

Plussat: Perfect place for families and couples. An old sicilian farm with a very nice view. The team is very professional and they really helped us enjoy our holiday. They propose a lot of activities like wine tasting, bread making, short travels near by. The pool is fine, the beach Noto Azura is just 5 min away by car. The garden is wonderful in the sunset. Noto is 15 min. Marzameme is 20 min. Don t miss it! For a better sicilian experience rent a car to help you move to Modica or Pallazalo Acreide. cakes and the coffee are amazing. You should try the peach pie

Miinukset: The real food (ham, cheese, etc) was the same the whole 7 days we stayed. We got really bored. I would expected more types of salami, ham and cheese.

Plussat: Lovely location. Great food. Grow own fruit and veg. Fab breakfast. Dinner lovely and local ingredients. Staff v friendly. Bar in the evening

Miinukset: Enjoyed everything but do need a car to get around easily.

Plussat: Brilliant location, short walk through to the beach and national park, the food (breakfast and dinner) was all fantastic

Miinukset: Not the properties fault - be careful if arriving at night using sat nav / phone navigation as new road near the property doesn't come up on google maps / waze off the roundabout at Noto (signposted Lido di Noto)

Plussat: The staff in the kitchen were amazing and very attentive to our small children's needs.

Plussat: We enjoyed our stay here. It's a perfect location for visiting the nature reserve and you can be there in 10 minutes. We had a great welcome and all the the staff we encountered were really friendly. Our room was spacious and beautifully clean. The opportunity to laze by the pool was much appreciated.

Miinukset: The menu completo at the restaurant isn't great. I think a la carte may well be better. Breakfast was also a bit of a disappointment compared to others we had on our trip.

Plussat: A typical boutique hotel, wonderful taste, less profissional staff, but very nice people.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: No tea or coffee or electric kettle was provided in the room.no glasses were provided in the room or the bath room.Last two days we were not provided witht bath towels but we were given bath robes to dry ourselves. House keeping was poor. There was no mini bar or dining area in the room as indicated on booking.com. it took them 24 hours to change a light bulb. This was done after repeated requests. WiFi was very poor and at times was not functioning for several hours. We booked a classic room with balcony. I can't be sure if we got what we booked since the description of the room on booking.com did not match what we got. This room also did not have a separate entrance as indicated. What was passed off as a balcony was a large window opening into the room Front desk was extremely poorly manned.

Plussat: Hotel was very central .

Plussat: The hotel is located in a very strategic position allowing you to reach the most important attractions in few minutes by feet. The building is an ancient one, but room are equipped with all modern comfort. Bathroom is quite spacious to host a large shower (we reserved a superior room).

Miinukset: The reception doesn’t operated full day, so pay attention to your arrival. The staff, even though was helpful, doesn’t reflect the expected level of professionalism for a 4 stars. The same is for the breakfast, very poor and low quality.

Plussat: The staff was great. Showed us around in his classic car! Great stay

Plussat: The property is stylish, comfortable beds and the location is amazing.

Plussat: So very central with easy access to Cafe Sicilia just two mins away

Plussat: Great location, lovely team who own/run it; beautiful decorated and safe. Also breakfast was great.

Miinukset: Nothing really, it’s a lovely hotel. The rooms are kind of small but you expect that in these old cities - we also booked a small room though

Plussat: Right in the centre of Noto , a brilliant start to our trip through southern Italy and Sicily , I two minute walk to bars and restaurants plus all local sight seeing. He hotel is very clean , well renovated , the staff very friendly and helpful , our waitress at breakfast spent time advising us where to visit whilst practising her English ( and our Italian ). We parked right next to the hotel on street at no cost ( do pick a small car the streets are very tight )

Miinukset: Access not for the less abled as many steps into hotel and through Noto.

Plussat: The rooms were stunning. The hotel manager collected us from Noto Station as there were no taxis. Very nice staff. Breakfast could have been more comprehensive. Location was ideal. Would recommend.

Miinukset: I liked the breakfast but it did not compare with those provided in other hotels we stayed in in Sicily. Would be better with a greater selection.

Plussat: A great pool, though be warned they only clean it when you demand it be cleaned, otherwise expect to swim with worms and leaves and debris.

Miinukset: This place might be ok in the high summer, but we were treated as if an I convenience. The sheets and towels were damp and dirty. They provided very little for food and the staff were nonexistent - it was extremely poor value enemy at 1/2 price. One murmured g i left our bed 1/2 stripped in urged that they might iticyfe cjean fresh sheets, but they just used the same dank dirty sheets.,

Plussat: This is a very lovely resort in every respect. Tasteful, comfortable and spacious, the staff are wonderful and this relaxing property is in a very good location for accessing southwest Sicily.

Miinukset: On arrival this agriturismo makes it clear that they do not run a restaurant although they can offer a simple meal (ie: pasta / salad) providing it is all ordered and delivered before staff go off duty at 7pm. Now anyone familiar with Italy would be aware this is far to early for evening dining although fine for lunch, if you happen to be in the resort at lunch time. Although we ordered beers and wine during our stay we did not order dinner as the timing (and the very limited menu) did not really suit our needs. One evening we brought home some of the beautiful produce available all over Sicily when you are a tourist - some cheese, salumi and bread (not available on the property), so we could have a late snack with wine purchased from the property, after 7pm, whilst watching the sunset. We advised the staff this was our intention and were met with a hostile and agitated response from the manager (?) who was most insistent that under no circumstances could we to consume our own food on the premises. You are kidding me!!!! All the other staff were wonderful. I am unable to name the unpleasant man who spoilt our sunset plans as he failed to provide either his name or his role at the property and we only met him on that one occasion. We make it clear that all the serving staff were terrific during our stay. We assume this man was a day manager or similar.

Plussat: Fantastic location , stylish and civilised

Miinukset: Sat nav found it difficult to find ( better directions helpful). Maybe the road could be improved a little ?

Plussat: An Outstanding Place to Stay in the Countryside with a Huge Pool This is one of those rare gems of a place whose own atmosphere and environment defines itself. Located inland about 3km from the sea and about 15 minutes from Marzamemi, this is easily one of the best places and experiences we have stayed at in our 14 visits to Sicily. It is not difficult to find as it is only 5 minutes up the road from a secondary highway, do not get discouraged by the location, as this gorgeous oasis of a spot is so very much worth getting to. Also there is a Roman archaeological site 5 minutes down the road from it. On a working farm located on a small hill overlooking the coast, nestled amongst carob and olive trees near the Vendicari Natural Reserve the grounds are spread out over a couple acres with one main building housing the office and five (or six) rooms, a large seating area for breakfast, another seating area near the main building with huge cushions for lounging in the shade or sun, another seating area with the same large comfy lounge chairs nestled in a beautifully manicured garden and finally a 30metre long rectangular pool, ideal for swimming laps, with two large cabana-like seating beds at one end and numerous comfy and large lounging beds around the pool. STUNNING! They also have pool towels available. You can see the coast from poolside. Also, as if this as not idea enough, the dozen or so wild horses that roam on the little bluff, not more than 50 metres from the pool gives this place a magical feel. The horses are kept away by an electric fence, so it is safe – as the note in the room says just do not approach them without escort from someone that works there. Our room had a large comfy bed with mosquito net, air con and good quality bedding and pillows. The towels unfortunately were the thin type that resemble a tea towel. In their brochure it says they featured Ortigia bath products, but they did not have those – it would be nice if they did return to them.

Miinukset: Need better towels.

Plussat: Fantastic outside spaces, great location and very welcoming hosts.

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike

Plussat: If you want a quiet escape with no kids around and pretty much exclusive use of a pool with a view of the Sicilian countryside, this is the place for you! It was so lovely that we could not bear to leave to explore the surrounding countryside.

Miinukset: Only negative was the temperamental AC which the staff did manage to fix temporarily but it played up again the next night. we just opened the windows.

Plussat: This place is magic: only four rooms in an old farm "Masseria", all very comfortable with complimentary service, canopy beds, A/C. The terrace "Codalupo" has a beautiful landscape and the Balinese furniture adds a super classy touch (highly recommended for sunset). The pool is large and well-kept. The service is outstanding with Gioacchino and Giusy (and all the others) very helpful and always ready to take care of every needs one may have. Final words for the food: homemade cakes for breakfast, lunch with vegetables, eggs and many other products from the farm. Low-Medium season recommended to really enjoy its beautfiul surroundings such as Marzamemi, Noto, Pachino.

Plussat: Just one word, "Paradise)

Miinukset: My stay was too short

Plussat: The location is beautiful and the staff are kind and friendly; although most speak only a little English they do their best to make your stay memorable. Delicious pasta dishes, especially the pasta nonna.

Miinukset: Our bathroom was a bit smelly. Food service finishes early (7:30pm), so for a later dinner you have to drive to local towns/villages.

Plussat: Location and room

Plussat: Great location with parking with an easy walk into Noto , room well appointed with friendly and helpfull staff, lots to see in Noto

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very good position in which to explore Noto but also to be able to park our car next to the hotel. Hotel was clean and good value for money and the staff spoke good English and were really helpful. Noto is a gem of a city and Hotel Flora was the perfect base to explore it from.

Plussat: Loistava aamupala ja erinomainen sijainti. Myös palvelu oli erittäin ystävällistä.

Miinukset: Suihkusta ei saanut kuin kylmää vettä ja korjauksen jälkeenkin suihkun viemäristä valui vettä kylpyhuoneen lattialle

Plussat: Ligging perfect

Miinukset: Wifi

Plussat: Everything was perfect.

Plussat: Good location for sightseeing and nice breakfast.

Miinukset: For a traveller who rent a car, I think more detailed explanations for "How to access to that hotel" and then much helpful for car -travellers.

Plussat: Lovely hotel with very friendly staff and right next to the historic centre of town.

Plussat: The room was really nice, warm and comfortable. People at reception was really nice.

Miinukset: The breakfast could be a bit better.

Plussat: Location is ideal to travel with bus to other baroque cities. At the heart of Noto but just a little walk along a park away from the main Corso.

Miinukset: For a reasonable price no complaints.

Plussat: Location is excellent; breakfast was abundant; staff was very nice

Miinukset: We booked a junior suite --- and we got a basic room with a small couch and desk. No view, as suggested in the pictures. Directions are unclear -- it isn't easy to find -- we had to call once we went around in circles three times. when you book you should be given explicit directions. (For physically challenged people, beware of steps throughout the property.)

Plussat: Nice room with balcony overlooking a quiet street in a residential area. Reasonably easy to walk in to the centre of town. The room was comfortable and had a fridge which was a bonus. The young lady who runs it was very pleasant.

Miinukset: The streets leading to the town were typical of Southern Italy, no pavements and lots of litter. This was not the fault of the hotel, just a fact of life here.

Plussat: Terrace. Quiet.

Miinukset: Not very warm staff, just bussines, but for sleeping very quiet place with parking in front of the house.

Plussat: Good value for money,

Miinukset: Breakfast could improve

Plussat: The staff where lovely and the room was adaquate for the price paid with a very comfortable balcony

Miinukset: I have had b&bs where the breakfasthad more variety. Some guests where noisy the walls are not thick so you can hear them. Even doing intimate acts

Plussat: Close to the center, free spacios parking in front of the appartment. Breakfast with a spectacular view. Very nice owners.

Plussat: An easy walk to the town centre but quiet at night. A comfortable bed, good shower and super friendly staff.

Plussat: Very close to the centre but far enough away to be quiet

Plussat: Geada, our host was extremely polite and helpful during our stay, she gave us all the info we needed - directions, restaurants recommendations etc. Our room was clean; location is very good, as well the breakfast.

Miinukset: We could hear all the noises and the talking from the hallway.

Plussat: Quiet location, free public parking. Close to town center, just 10min walk. Great breakfast in a bar near, delicious croissants and very good coffee, the waiters in the bar were very kind, we got free coffee2go.

Miinukset: shower didn't work well, hot water for first 2-3min, after that cold. no one there in the morning, so we left the keys in post box.

Plussat: Everything was great

Miinukset: Nothing, everything was great

Plussat: Wonderful warm and welcoming owners, a beautiful view from the beautiful grounds, a lovely and refreshing swimming pool, and a yummy breakfast with homemade breads, yogurt and jams. And there is a pizzeria restaurant about 100m up the road which we walked to for a tasty dinner.

Plussat: Very warm welcome with very helpful owners. They offered lots of helpful hints of things to see and do. Room was clean and the outside furniture was comfortable. It was unfortunate that the weather was very wet so we couldn't take full advantage of the pool.

Miinukset: It would have been nice to have had a kettle in the room so that we could have made tea or coffee. As the weather was so wet we were confined to our room in the evening so a hot drink without disturbing the owners.

Plussat: The croissants were very flaky! Plenty of help with local information.English spoken fluently. Home made products for breakfast. Good WiFi.

Plussat: Very kind and attentive operating family, stylish and well-equipped place, great breakfast and excellent surrounding. It is highly recommended for those who are looking for a peaceful accomodation of high standard.

Plussat: friendly owner, nice terrace and swimming pool

Miinukset: our accomodation did not reflect our expectations

Plussat: Very friendly and talkative owners. Beautiful garden with nice swimming pool.

Plussat: Very nice location, fantastic pool, rooms all updated, nice garden, the new multilingual owners are very helpfull on visits in this region, on site Airport Schuttle service, rental of Vespa's & Mini Cabrio

Plussat: Nice location and grounds. Very nice swimming pool and surrounding area. The new hotel owners were very friendly and helpful. Secure on-site parking.

Plussat: The family owners, who have just taken over, are very pleasant. They recommended and booked a very good pizzeria for us which was close to the hotel. The pool looks nice and is very clean.

Miinukset: The accommodation was terrible - the worst we have stayed in in over 20 years of travelling around Europe.We had a family accommodation - in a cramped, corner outbuilding - not in the main building. Neither it nor the accommodation beside us had the 'panoramic views' described in the adverts. The rooms were very small, dated, depressing and uncomfortable.

Plussat: Our family enjoyed our stay. The view,atmosphere, and people were wonderful. We found a restaurant up the hill from our villa which was amazing. You must be able to speak Italian.

Miinukset: Everything was just great!!!

Plussat: the pool and outside seating area

Miinukset: poor breakfast- no fruit, yoghurt, limited selection of bread and pastriesand too much pre-packed. Staff slow to replenish the buffet inadequate air conditioning and poor telephone service.. location is difficult to get to and a long way from local amenities.

Plussat: Friendly service. Good Pool

Miinukset: Local Guard Dogs barking at Night

Plussat: The entire complex was lovely and very comfortable.

Miinukset: The rain.

Plussat: Great base for touring South East Sicily and Noto is a beautiful town with lots of good restaurants Staff were friendly and helpful Large room with whirlpool bath. Lovely pool area. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. Air conditioning was really good

Miinukset: To access the pool you have to come out of the main entrance and then walk round the back of the hotel. There must be a route through the hotel. Lack of information ìn the room and no instructions if there is a fire.

Plussat: Great position, only a 15 min walk into centre of town. Comfortable room with nice bathroom. Cleaned everyday very well. Breakfast was ok. Swimming pool clean and always sun loungers available. Good Wifi.

Miinukset: 1. Not really a nice bar on premises 2. Beds for children (13 and 15) were not very steady and firm.

Plussat: Breakfast was good. Beds were comfortable and big. Good location to visit Noto and the cities around Noto. Parking free of charge.

Miinukset: To reach the swimming pool you have to walk a lot of stairs. To reach the breakfast room we had to take two different elevators and walk. In one bedroom there were ants due to the cleaning not being sufficient.

Plussat: The pool area was relaxing . And the food at the restaurant was excellent!!

Miinukset: There wasn’t any coffee machine.. and almost all the lifts were not working to go down .

Plussat: The staffs were very nice and breakfast was very good

Miinukset: Wifi, safe and lock on balcony door did not work in one of our rooms. Was reported twice but none were fixed.

Plussat: Clean and spacious rooms, nice staff and lovely pool

Miinukset: The room service was very patchy (only when kitchens opened), breakfast was limited in options, the bar was frequently closed, the pool bar was never open. There was a large judo competition on for half of our stay and the pool/surrounding area wasn’t big enough to accommodate that many guests and children

Plussat: Good size of room

Miinukset: Nothing I didn’t like and nothing I really liked

Plussat: The location was very convenient to the old part of town, but did provide free parking for our rental car. The swimming pool was great!

Plussat: The rooms were large and clean wifi was good pool was really good , air conditioning worked well

Miinukset: Door was broken in room and also onto the balcony - fridge was small and was hard to get things cold , no ice ,

Plussat: Loved the design of a renovated monastery, feeling secluded in the countryside but close to beautiful Noto, lovely owners who gave great recommendations

Miinukset: Dinner ended at 8pm

Plussat: The breakfast was good. The building complex is very authentic and has comfortable rooms. The location is in the countryside, there were many colourful wildflowers in the landscape (May).

Miinukset: The location was difficult to find. A better description of the best route from Noto would have been useful.

Plussat: The place was really amazing. Great room, the service was really premium (top breakfast). Really a lovely place, where i d like to go back soon !

Miinukset: On the site there are photos a restaurant but doesn't exist any more. the bathroom was to difficult to use and with a bad ventilation. the owner and staff not so friendly. it looked that everybody was tired of having guests.

Plussat: A lot of investment has gone into some elements of this property. Some is well maintained but much is being allowed to fall into disrepair.

Miinukset: There is a sad air of a hotel which is struggling, a lot of the advertised items which are supposed to be available are just not made available.

Plussat: zur Area is very nice

Miinukset: zur Stuff was so unfreandly and the breakfest was cheap Quality. the Pool is dirty and cold and it's very hard to find the place by car. It takes 30min by car to get to Noto. the prices from the Minibar are Insane!

Plussat: the place, the environment and the swimming pool

Miinukset: there was a lot of mold in the shower (photos available on request - too bad for this kind of hotel and for the price) There was nobody to welcome us so we spent 15 min looking for the reception desk (a bit difficult after a voyage) - the tea bags available in the room are not free and are at 1,50 euro each - the road is very tricky ( lot of sharp turns with poor visibility on a narrow rood) - There is no restaurant

Plussat: The Monestry was spacious and unique, Anna the owner was very helpful and welcoming.

Miinukset: Nothing, it was just what we needed... relaxing, peaceful and quaint.

Plussat: Amazing design and location and oldness

Miinukset: I liked everything

Plussat: Lovely old ruin that has been beautifully done up

Miinukset: Was lovely all around it amazing grounds and beautiful

Plussat: Beautiful place. Very clean. Great Breakfast Very close to San Lorenzo Beach

Miinukset: Check out at 10AM is too soon.

Plussat: The location was perfect, only a 3 min drive to the beautiful San Lorenzo beach and a 10 min drive to picturesque Marzamemi. It was a great base to explore the region with most sights being within a 30 min drive. Free parking was handy too. The staff were always so welcoming and friendly and I loved that you could tell it was a family business. It is an incredibly romantic place and you can see why it is used for special celebrations and weddings. They also had the most delicious wine selections from local vineyards. The entire building is beautiful and lovely to stroll around. It has an impressive driveway up to it that makes you feel you are arriving to a grand home from another era. The pool looked beautiful but we never used it what with the stunning beach so close by. The breakfast selection was fantastic and dinner was very special too. I liked that the owner and chef came out to chat to each table and see if we were enjoying it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Miinukset: The ONLY negative was the bed. While spotlessly clean, it was as hard as a rock. And while I do like a firm bed, this was excessive and we both had aching backs from it after 3 nights.

Plussat: Location excellent

Miinukset: Wifi in the room was poor

Plussat: Very nice atmosphere. Friendly staff

Plussat: Beautiful property and lovely restaurant

Plussat: Very pretty Villa. Great location to visit Marzamemi, Noto etc and San Lorenzo beach is literally a stone throw away. Nice breakfast and we had dinner one evening too at the Villa, which was very nice too! You can easily spend a whole day at the Villa and explore it's history and quirkiness... It has it's own amphitheater...! Very helpful staff and kind owners.

Plussat: Lovely park, friendly staff, great breakfast

Miinukset: Room was a noisy has soon you are walking Bathtub and not a proper Italian shower

Plussat: The garden and pool are very nice.

Miinukset: -Room. We got different room, not the same as it was in our confirmation. Everything in that room was old and not cosy. We asked reception to change the room but we got answer that they can not do anything because they are fully booked and that at the picture in our conformation "different type of room". That was obvious for us.... The complex are in extending process. Every morning at 7.00 the workers parked their cars next to our window and started to work... -Dinner. We have read some positive feedbacks at the site... but unfortunately we did not like our dinner at this hotel and had to travel to Noto for dinner next several evenings during our stay. It is not our first visit to Sicily and not only the one place we have stayed, we are able to be realistic in our expectations.

Plussat: Parking space free and easily accessible Lift Good breakfast

Miinukset: Rooms with fairly simple and shabby furniture. Functional but old fashioned

Plussat: The kind personal accomodated all our wishes (e.g. separte beds instead of a double bed) and gave helpful recommodations of nice places&restaurants in the area. In fall, there is not much closeby but if you have a car (the hotel has a parking lot) you can go to the city of Noto within less than half an hour where you find many nice stores and restaurants.

Miinukset: The bathroom (even though clean and cleaned daily) often smelled musty (probably from the sewers). Beds are rather hard.

Plussat: Great location, opposite the beach and bus stop to Noto. Very helpful staff.

Miinukset: Restaurant was closed (end of season)

Plussat: very peaceful and nice place. wonderful if you can have a balcone room face to the sea

Plussat: Position and setting of hotel, quiet and private. Good bed,cleanliness and excellent lighting in room.very pleasant staff

Miinukset: WiFi was very on and off, especially in the room

Miinukset: -Additional fee for umbrella, sun loungers -Every day the same breakfast menu

Plussat: Really beautiful garden and terrace with a small pool which is totally sufficient since the hotel is located right next to the beach. The hotel includes a nice restaurant where you should eat at least once during your stay. Also appreciated that you could order drinks in the garden. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Miinukset: We had a room on the ground floor which meant that we didn't get much daylight.

Plussat: Near the beach. Good breakfast. Good restaurant. Clean room.

Miinukset: Early check-out.

Plussat: The garden was nice, the small room for breakfast was ok

Miinukset: Parking is very small and not enough for all guests, the AC system not very well positioned in the room, no balcony

Plussat: Fantastic location, wonderful people, peace and quiet, super clean rooms, it was really well spent a week in this hotel. I highly recommend this place

Plussat: Very small and nice family hotel. Little swimming pool a great asset next to the wonderful beach.

Miinukset: A bit basic. Bed not so comfy, no hot water for 2 days, staff not very welcoming. Not enough services to be rated 4 stars.

Plussat: Location fabulous, as was the swimming pool.

Miinukset: Breakfast was OK, but not great.

Miinukset: Great location, however do not go there if you want a hot shower or a room with functioning air conditioning. Out of the 3 rooms we occupied, none had hot water. Over 36 hours and 4 phone calls/face to face conversations with the staff we still did not get our air conditioning fixed. In 30+ degree summer heat this is unacceptable.

Plussat: we booked this property for 1 night and had to leave early morning, we were promised that we will be served with tea and coffee, but this was a joke. also near the pool full of bee's and no towels.

Miinukset: pool area.

Plussat: The little garden behind the room was nice The shower is huge The place is really relaxing and calm

Miinukset: When we arrival there were two dogs that were walking, following us and sniffed us for all the pathway from the reception until the entry into the room; to my question if the dogs would be leaved free always, the response of the staff was : yes the dogs are from the stucture. In the shower were present some hairs that weren’t ourselves. The property is not really modern as resort.

Plussat: Perfect location 20 minutes from beautiful Noto. Quiet surrounding with nice views all around! Nice staff with good information! Good choice at breakfast and a perfect local a la carte menu at night!

Plussat: It is such a tranquil place set with beautiful views and with a lovely swimming pool. Staff members were helpful. There is parking on site and the hotel sends directions via email to ensure that the gps doesn't take you through a less desirable route. Breakfast was remarkable.

Miinukset: The lunch and dinner menu was a little restricted with not much choice and the spa was a bit expensive.

Plussat: Staff were very helpful and super friendly!

Miinukset: The road to the top building of rooms is too narrow in places for two cars to pass. It can be treacherous.

Plussat: De rust en mooie ligging

Miinukset: No-sugarfree products ar breakfast (marmelades, yoghurt) - Only Italian TV

Plussat: We got very lucky. The place is next to a radio telescope and the staff there invited all guest for a night tour of the facilities and to look at the planets.

Miinukset: The pool is next to a nice green area which is great but it also means more dead flies and wasps in the water. They should clean it more often.

Plussat: the location is perfect for visiting Noto and the surrounded area

Miinukset: Mattresses are very uncomfortable, they need to be replace. We had to ask for shower gel, they gave them to us every other day. Also they asked us to keep the towels longer then one day. i asked to leave our suitcases in the b&b after my check out, but they said they can keep them until 2 pm

Miinukset: Very disappointing, old rooms inedible food only worth 1star don’t bother going

Plussat: very nice breakfast,friendly staff,clean swimming pool well maintained , the view in the room is fantastic
