Those sunny mornings on the terrace set among flowers, with a view on Noto, endless olive/lemon/almond orchards and the sea... Or those evenings in front of the fireplace in the giant living room... Or those scenic drives up to Testa dell'Acqua to the local maceleria recommended by Maria Novella... Or that delicious home-made pizza (lighter than the air!) from the brick oven next to the kitchen... We will bear so many great memories from our stay at Novella's house. We will definately come again! We were there in February - it was a bit cold, but with 2 wood stoves and fireplace we managed to keep quite pleasant temperature inside the house (it requires a bit of discipline to keep 3 fires though) The house itself is very comfortable, well-thought and decorated with a great taste (Novella is an architect!) In the kitchen you will find gazillion of plates, glasses, pots, frying pans and other kitchen utensils that only Italian mamma knows how to use - no surprises, as Novella's multi-generation family uses the house for their summer holidays in August. It gives you a flavour of good, old Airbnb where you stay in the houses of real local people, not letting agencies. Not to mention a friendly dog that waits at your door... Hard not to feel like at home.
