The hotel was extremely noisy in the morning, but the beds were comfortable, and the shower was good. The room only had a bathtub with no curtain, but it did have air conditioning and a fabulous breakfast.

We were informed about all services, including poolside bites, but we were misled about the kitchen being closed when it was open for salads and sandwiches. The staff had a cheeky attitude offering free lunch 'together with the pupils' and were loud across the room, neglecting customer service.

Location

9.0

The hotel's location is gorgeous, bright, modern, spacious, and welcoming. It's excellent, allowing us to leave our car and walk to town without worries. It's just outside the center of Noto, a nice spot only a ten-minute walk from the historical center and within easy reach of Syracuse, Ragusa, and Modica.

My stay at the hotel exceeded my expectations in many ways. The rooms were larger than expected and very clean, providing everything I needed, though they were sparcely furnished. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful with directions and catering options. The location was very nice, being a short distance from the Noto Center and ideal for exploring surrounding cities. The facilities were well-kept, making my overall stay comfortable and convenient.

I recently stayed at this hotel for a wedding and found it to be lovely. The rooms are airy, very clean, and spacious, offering various views of the countryside. The location is nice, just a short walk from the historical center of Noto and a convenient drive to other nearby cities. The dining experience was delightful with a rich selection of Italian pastries, though the Wi-Fi speeds were a bit slow and intermittent. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor inconveniences.
