We recently spent 3 nights at Cesare and Cristiano’s comfortable house a short 10 minute drive from beautiful Noto. The house is in a rural location (5 minutes up a track off the main road), and has a compact pool perfect for cooling down in after the intense heat of the day. The peaceful surroundings, cool air-conditioning, combined with the most comfortable bed and lovely linen we’ve slept in on our tour around Sicily, meant that we slept like babies. Cesare’s partner Cristiano could not have been more welcoming/kind/available to us during our stay and when we had an embarrassing incident and blocked the washing machine accidentally, it was dealt with promptly and with understanding. My only comments would be that the Wi-Fi was inconsistent in speed, the kitchen was not kitted out to the same high standard in keeping with such a premium property, and we also felt that the price point was a little ambitious compared to other places we have stayed in Sicily - although Cristiano’s long term plans for the recently planted garden may change that with time, providing better shade and a walkway from house to pool area rather than having to walk over scrubland. All in all a lovely stay though and thank you for having us.
