Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A sun-warmed courtyard terrace and a living room that opens onto a balcony make this Noto apartment feel designed for long, unhurried days – the kind where lunch stretches into the afternoon and a second glass of wine seems entirely reasonable. The two bedrooms are warmly styled, each with its own bathroom, and the kitchen is set up for everything from a quick espresso before heading out to a proper dinner in. And heading out is half the appeal – Noto Cathedral's Baroque facade, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is right on your doorstep.

Home truths
There is no lift in the building, so you'll be carrying luggage up the stairs to reach the apartment on the first floor.
There's no private parking at the apartment, but several guests have found free street parking within about 50–100 metres of the front door. If you're arriving by car, factor in a little extra time to find a spot.

At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.

About Val di Noto
Encompassing the south-eastern third of Sicily, Val di Noto is one of the three historic regions of the island.
