Maria's apartment is absolutely lovely and a quick 7 minute stroll to the main street of Noto. The place itself is huge and really accommodates the guests well for all their needs. The two terrace spaces at the top of the house are lovely and nicely done for an evening drink or even barbecue. The apartment is on a busy corner however so during the day the sound of scooters and cars can be a little loud, but at night it was surprisingly all good - pack earbuds if you're a light sleeper.
There is a fantastic local patisserie around the corner from the house that do some of the best cannoli on the island!
Overall Maria's apartment is a great choice if you want to be close enough to the main area but not right amongst it, would highly recommend.
