Take things up a notch with a stay at this Baroque riad, where an inner-courtyard private plunge pool and shared wellness centre set the scene for total relaxation. Blissfully secluded, it’s hard to believe the lively restaurants and shops of Noto are just moments away. But good luck convincing anyone to leave – this home makes a lasting impression. Indoor and outdoor living blend effortlessly, with plenty of space to spill out into the riad courtyard to soak up the sunshine. After dark, this place comes into its own, with the garden lit for atmospheric meals and a cinema room for cosy film nights.
