What a wonderful house! It was lovely to stay in a hundred year old Sicilian family house which is comfortable and well-equipped without being over-renovated. One of the highlights is the view from the terrace - down over the valley with a beautiful view of Noto and the sea. We ate our breakfasts and evening meals on the terrace every day. There was a lovely breeze which made the temperature very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our evening meals (plenty of pots and pans, a good sized oven) and we enjoyed using the outside wood oven.
Marianovella was a very attentive host. She met us at a time convenient to us on the day of our arrival and presented us with lovely local sweets as a welcome gift. She was happy to give us local recommendations which were great. She replied promptly when we asked for advice during our stay.
There was a decent supermarket in Noto and lots of good roadside fruit and veg stalls which kept us well-supplied. The house is 10-15 mins from Noto and within easy day-trip distance of Siracusa and Ragusa.
We have stayed in a good few rental houses in Italy / Sicily over the years and this definitely surpasses them all - very highly recommended.
