Marianna was an excellent host. She waited on the street outside the building for us to arrive and her kitchen was well stocked with coffee, tea, and other items, which were much appreciated. Noto is a beautiful baroque town, steeped in history, with plenty of bars and restaurants. The apartment is in an old Palazzo in the middle of the historic centre with a view of the Cathedral’s dome from the balcony of the main living room. It is beautifully furnished and very comfortable and as well as a couple of balconies, had its own roof-top terrace space where we had our breakfast. Although when we were there (in April) on-street parking was possible, it was a real bonus to have off-road private parking. I would recommend visiting Noto and staying in this apartment to anyone who wants to visit Sicily’s beautiful hill-top baroque towns.
