    Room and bathroom were simply furnished, reasonably stylish and very clean

    We should have had an entry code before we arrived. It took 4 phone calls to various numbers - before we got a text with a code. Wifi password was prominently displayed but 6 different providers came up and the password worked for none of them. Worst was the stairs. The room was at the top floor of a tall building. There were 50 steps and though we travelling light, carrying our suitcases up was a nightmare. If that had been made clear we would have booked somewhere else. Can’t really comment on staff as we didn’t meet anyone. The breakfast vouchers were worth 5 euros each for a local cafe/ patisserie. Lovely welcoming cafe but nothing savoury available for breakfast. Five euros gets you a coffee and cake. Or coffee and ice cream. Personally I don’t like cake for breakfast but many do.

    This was in a lovely location and the room and bath were recently updated. The hardware was very nice and the windows opened to the street 3 stories below. Everything was seemed new although the furniture and bed were older it was all in good shape and looked very styled and furnished well. We liked the room and the view.

    Although in the description of the room it noted there were stairs to the room. What was not mentioned is the number of starts. 52 stairs was more than we bargained for and I wish that the number of stairs was mentioned, because I would not what to go up and down that number of stairs three times a day while on vacation and especially while transporting luggage at the beginning and end of the trip. We stayed starting Thursday and left Monday. On Friday night there was rock music and people dancing in the street until past 1:30 AM. The vibration of the music could be felt while in bed. I videoed the street with the music as well as walking up 52 stairs and hope to post that on YouTube. I can't blame loud music on anyone associated with renting the room, but obviously it interfered with our sleep. If I knew that 52 stairs we involved with getting to the room I would not have rented the room. Yes, it was mentioned that stas were involved in getting to the room, but not 52.

    Lovely host, so helpful and cheerful. Well appointed apartment with a delicious Sicilian breakfast. I had an issue checking in (my own fault) and the host hurried over to assist with my entry. Perfect location with many nearby restaurants. Paid street parking (very affordable) near the property or a few blocks away free street parking.

    Bed mattress was a little hard but this is a very common challenge in Sicily (not specific to this property). A small update to the mattress would make this property even more superior. Would stay again regardless.

    Great location, lovely high ceilings and very friendly staff. Nice chat over breakfast every day.

    As everyone says it is top floor with no lift so a bit akward. And dark stairs at night meaning we had to use our phone torch. No problems though would stay again.

    Location is excellent- right in the centre. Check-in was efficient - remote check-in option available, if arrive out of hours. Host was friendly with great recommendations for restaurants in Noto and other locations on my trip.

    We absolutely loved our stay here! Corrado, the host was so welcoming and friendly - he took great care of us, and breakfast everyday was fresh and delicious. The property is gorgeous and really beautifully decorated. We had a spacious room with lots of gorgeous natural light and a view of Noto. Perfect location to everything you need in Noto! We had such a great stay, and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Noto.

    Very clear check-in instructions received in advance. Fabulous location. Right in the old centre of Noto and very close to all the main attractions. Room was large, cool and comfortable, with a lovely and unusual mix of old and new fixtures and fittings. Breakfast was superb, presided over by Corrado who was very friendly and helpful. We were able to leave our luggage after checkout and pick it up in time to make our transport onward in the afternoon.

    The only minor thing was carrying our luggage up several flights of stairs (the B&B is at top of building: 2nd floor but felt higher!). No lift, so if you have any mobility issues, you would struggle, I imagine.

    The room was light, airy and spacious with all the facilities we needed. The communal area was quaint and homely. The breakfast was ample and delicious. And finally the host Corrado was extremely helpful, giving lots of advice for local activities, restaurants, beaches and even tips for the next location of our short roadtrip.

    breakfast was simple but really good. We had the independent room which was comfortable with a large bathroom and lots of natural light. Quite a few stairs to get up (so ideally no heavy luggage) but well worth it as location is superb.

    The only thing is that the floor was a bit dusty but otherwise linen and towels were very clean and no issues there.

    Location is in the heart of Noto and very charming traditional rooms!

    One part of the mattress was broken, we told the owner but there wasn’t any action/solution provided.

    Excellent location! Right in the middle of town and right around the corner from the wonderful and famous Caffe Siciliano. Lovely apartment with good light and nice antique furniture. Corrado, the host, is kind and helpful—and put together a very nice breakfast for us with local products. Yum. Thanks so much, Corrado.

    The location in the centre but hence very quiet

    Breakfast was served only from 8.30 which is rather late and we had to wait as it wasn't ready in time. Poor choices, no fresh fruit. The mattress is worn out

    Property response:

    We are very sorry about your review. The breakfast is from 8:30 am because we take fresh and good product from a bakery that make everything with old Sicilian grain and the bakery open at 8:00 am. As breakfast there is fresh bread, croissants, four kind of jam, biscuits, salty food (like cheese, focacce and more) also we use to have fresh fruit. Normally if some customer need to do breakfast early we give the opportunity to do it. Yes, we were late and we are very sorry for that, but everything was ready in five minutes. We hope to have you as guest again and make you live a great experience in our bad and breakfast.
