Livia’s place is wonderful. Close to the remarkable Sicilian Baroque town of Noto with the beaches of Lido di Noto a short drive further and the hills around Ragusa only an hour away, you can return to a stunning ground floor apartment for an evening by (or in) the 17 metre swimming pool. The apartment has a well-equipped kitchen and ample space to dine inside or out. We wondered about privacy with our hosts living above us. There was no need to be concerned. Livia and her husband allowed us total privacy. The property is at the end of a road and is not overlooked. Noto has some great restaurants. We would recommend Enoteca Val de Noto for fabulous local wine, local tapas, in fact everything was local! If you’re interested in leather (I mean belts, bags etc) do call by Sicania Handmade leather goods on Via Ruggero Settimo. When we return to the area we will certainly hope to stay here again.
