We stayed at Jochen's place for four days after traveling from busy and hot Palermo (it was early August), mid way through our trip. It was the PERFECT house, beautifully built and decorated, scenic views, quiet and peaceful, the swimming pool was ideal for early morning and evening swims. There are multiple fantastic beaches all a close drive away. Luca was the ideal host, He was hospitable, provided us with great advice about the area and was welcoming and warm on arrival and departure. I would recommend this very highly as a place to stay and Noto is a great area to head to if traveling to Sicily. We have fond and wonderful memories there.
