We really enjoyed our time at Casa Silvia. It was wonderful to have so much space, inside and out, and we made as much use as possible of the garden, terrace and house. It is a super-stylish property and, as a lover of boho/modern rustic styling, a feast for the eyes too. It is clearly a home, not just a holiday let, which is one of the things we particularly enjoy about using airbnb. Silvia arraigned for us to be met and shown round by Pippo, and despite the language barrier, instructions were clear and easy to follow. We communicated with Silvia via the message facility and she replied promptly every time. We asked for local recommendations, which were all great (ask her about restaurants and bakeries!). Noto is a lovely town to walk around - even away from the the main tourist streets - a nice place to get a little lost in. Although there was some traffic noise, the road was quiet at night and we both sleep well. We enjoyed our stay in this corner of Sicily very much; nice local beaches and easy to get to Siracusa for the day.
