I couldn't recommend Nicolanna's home more. It's the best of both worlds: a very easy 7-10 minute car ride from the historical center of Noto, while also being wonderfully scenic, with great views on plains of lemon trees, hills, and a wonderful pool that couldn't have been more of a godsend amid Sicilian July heat. The apartment itself was very comfortable, we stayed as a couple with an extra adult friend, and there was more than enough space between the apartment and the spacious terrace and BBQ area in the back garden. Nicolanna was a very gracious host with plenty of recommendations for the area (definitely great to have a car for easy transport to endless nearby attractions), and always very quick with communication.
