Francesco's house is outstanding and he is a wonderful host. He was very quick to respond to all our enquiries before we arrived which was reassuring and informative. He was there to meet us as promised and welcomed us with a lovely lunch of delicious local produce. The house was spotless with lots of extra touches; it is both stylish and yet homely. There was nothing that we wanted for. The roof terrace is glorious; a little oasis with sun and shade right in the heart of the old town. Francesco was very supportive when we asked for advice, recommending restaurants, suggesting beaches and sending us map links to every location. His property is located right in the heart of Noto so we could take full advantage of everything that was going on in the town, yet pop home easily to the peace and quiet. Noto is a great location from which to explore the Baroque towns of South West Sicliy and, although there were some tourists in the day (it was August!), it never felt over run with visitors and remains very much a Sicilian town. It has been one of our favourite holidays. I would recommend Francesco's property unreservedly; it was a joy to stay there.
