What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Guests are delighted by the unique experience of staying in an 18th-century palace with incredible hospitality and a prime Noto location. While rooms are basic, the historic charm and the magical atmosphere make it a memorable stay. Some find the early morning cathedral bells and occasional street noise a minor drawback.
"I slept extremely well in this hotel. I chose it for it's affordable price as well as central location and proximity to Cafe Sicilia. Service was great. The room was cool, spacious and had great old-world character. The bed was good, although I have slept on more comfortable mattresses. That is not to say that there was anything wrong with the experience. I had profoundly powerful dreams and I wondered if it had anything to do with the massive stone architecture. I will have to return some day to see if the experience happens again. Breakfast was great. Not too busy. Good conversation with other guests and a lovely view with fresh air across the town centre and morning sun. Extremely happy with my discovery for one night in early August. Thank you."

"We loved that it was right on the main road and in an old castle. Monica and the entire staff provided amazing hospitality.
The only con is the bell for the cathedral starts ringing at 7am, every 30 minutes."
