My mother (67) and me (40) we stayed at Elena’s place “la terrazza sui tetti” in Noto 7 nights. The communication with Elena by E-Mail and via mobile phone was also very good. She responded quickly and was always available. Some days before our arrival she sent me some instructions how to get to the house and what to consider. On the day of our arrival Elena’s housemaid showed us the apartment and with the help of my little italian language skills I understood almost everything she tried to explain. The location of the house is good, just a few blocks and steps away from the heart of Noto. Parking the car (5 door Fiat Punto) next to the house was all right despite the narrow streets around. At the end of via Pietro Micca there also is a nice little bakery where we bought our bread & rolls every morning.
The apartment itself was very nice with hot water at any time and double glazed isolation windows. The kitchen was also well equipped with lots of pans, a big refrigerator and a microwave oven. Every room except the bath rooms had modern and quiet air conditioner and once I got them to work they really helped a lot. Besides the Wifi was excellent. Also the sheets and towels were clean but the floors and bathrooms seemed as if the former residents left just an hour before (real Airbnb feeling ;-)). In contrast to this we spent every evening after dinner chilling on the beautiful and cozy terrace but be aware of the moscitos.
For dinner: Very good sicilian food you will get at Tannur (Via Ascenzo Mauceri, 3, 96017 Noto) or Cantina con Cucina (Via Corrado Nicolaci, 9, 96017 Noto). If you have some extra money to spent I truly recommend Ristorante Manna – mannanoto.it (Via Rocco Pirri, 19, 96017 Noto). Go there with reservation and taste the manna…you will not regret!
