It was a real privilege to stay in Giorgio's family palazzo in Noto. The apartment looks even better than in the photos and it feels bigger too. Loretta was there to welcome us to Noto and she was extremely helpful and responsive throughout our stay. The beds are extremely comfortable and the design of the place is well thought out and elegant. The terrasse is luxurious and the pool was an amazing treat to cool off after wandering in the Sicilian summer heat all day! The kitchen has very basic equipment and tools but there's all you need to have breakfast or cook up a quick pasta for dinner--if you can resist going out to Noto's fantastic restaurants every night! There is a supermarket with everything you need less than 5 minutes away (Despar), but we also thought that the U Market was super handy and it's steps away from the apartment. It has a well-curated selection of quality products, excellent wines and beers from the region, and some fresh seasonal produce. As for the parking, we didn't always get a spot in the street where the apartment is located (your chances are better if you come back home before 3 pm), but there was always room in the free parking spaces right in front of the Despar supermarket. These parking spaces are less than 5 minutes away and easy to park into, so it's pretty convenient. All in all, we had a perfect time at Giorgio's and we hope we'll get to go back to Noto one day!
