My 17 year old daughter and I stayed for 5 nights in July and thoroughly enjoyed our time in Marianna'a flat. It was beautifully positioned behind the cathedral dome, central to everything. The best part was sitting by the open balcony doors in the evenings watching the dome change colour in the sun. The roof terrace was very useful for hanging washing out but we felt it couldn't match the magic of the view from the sitting room. We didn't have a car (and managed very well without!) but the nearby local bus to Lido di Noto turns around by the Hotel Eloro, from which it's only a 10 minute walk up and over the brow to a lovely beach which was only really busy on the Sunday. Marianna was very kind, meeting us at the bus stop on arrival and taking us to the train station on departure. Thank you!
