We had a great holiday in Noto at Sandra's apartment. It's bright and spacious but most of all - a great location just a minute from the centre of the beautiful town.
The apartment is located through a secure gate and whilst it doesn't have any big views from inside you can go onto the roof-terrace which overlooks part of the town and all the rooftops.
Sandra wasn't in Italy at the time - the check in was done by a friendly Italian woman called Cettina but both herself and Sandra were very easily contactable throughout and determined for us to have a great holiday.
Small note if travelling with young kids (we were staying with our 3 year old son and 6 year old daughter) - the kitchen doors open out onto a small outdoor courtyard which has an open steep staircase with the potential for a nasty drop.
