Noto, Italy skyline: the 26 most iconic buildings and best views in Noto

Included in the combo ticket with the theatre Di Lorenzo and Palazzo Niccolaci. Most rooms and the interior are blah but one conference room is gorgeous and the VIEW from the terrace of the cathedral across the way and the plaza is STUNNING!

Staff very friendly and helpful, there was a working meeting in the main chamber so only the hall of mirrors open. It's not expensive to visit either. Notto is beautiful, there are loads of wonderful sights, it's just really just not worth the bother visiting this too. There were 2 large mirrors in the hall of mirrors..it was almost Monty Python surreal....

Nice panoramic views from the terrace but way overpriced. Only two rooms open. There was an advertisement for an art exhibition but not at the Palazzo Ducezio as we thought - it turned out to be an extra cost at another location.

It’s worth it for the nice view from the balcony towards the Cathedral but also in the other direction behind the Palazzo.. but there’s not much to see inside

The view from the terrace was great but the so-called hall of mirrors was a big disappointment. We've got more mirrors in our bathroom.

Wonderful baroque architecture, mesmerizing view, and italian atmosphere contribute to making this interesting sight a worthwhile experience

Better the stunning architecture is enjoyed from the outside. The roof terrace provides some nice panoramic views otherwise not sure paying an extra admission fee was worth seeing “the mirror room”.

This was well worth the additional ticket price to take the stairs all the way to the top. Views are amazing looking out across the city. The history is very interesting and some great visuals of how the would live in the past.

2 euro’s to enter, lovely little church but the real treat is the panoramic views of the areas surrounding Noto and Noto Cathedral. Worth spending some time in the church and soaking up the area.

The Chiesa di Santa Chiara (1758) in Noto, Sicily, Italy, has a remarkable elliptical form made all the more striking by the elegant Baroque decor.

Very nice view from the highest terrase(there are more) for a cheap 2,5€. Otherwise entry is free to the church, as to quite many small churches in the old town. I would recommend, as you can see the whole old city and make beutiful photos. Much nicer, than the Cathedral. Much nicer the

Great! Also for family!

For me this was the best of the visits in Notto, not because of the inside but because of the views over Notto and down to the coast from the roof. We were also fortunate to ve on the roof at noon when the bells started ringing too. Staff friendly, very cheap to visit.

Beautiful church and for only two euro's you can walk to the terrace and you will have a great view over Noto.

Interesting little theatre in Noto. Originally built just for the aristocracy and later seating added for the plebs. Quite small, but I think five stories of boxes, very intimate theatre and a glimpse into another era.

If you've never seen one of these theaters, definitely go. I've paid to see performances in similar places in Lecce, Austria, Mexico, France, etc. Apparently it was quite the style for a minute or two. It's kind of like churches, there are similarities, but seeing yet another often seems like a good idea.

Cute theater in Noto which you can visit with two other locations for a mere 5 Euros.

A lovely theatre with a long thespian tradition. Worth visiting.

Beautiful old theatre. Hoping the admission tickets help preserve it.

You can visit the theatre for 2 euros. It is beautiful.

Fabulous place, the decor is unchanged since the beginning.

Definitely climb up to the bell tower! The views are spectacular! Such a beautiful chiesa!

This church may seem underrated due to its beautifully restored interior, but it is definitely worth the paid terrace on the upper floors. The view from the top is breathtaking, right next to the bell tower, overlooking the entire main square of the cathedral and the town hall. Be careful, as the stairs can be very narrow. You will need to go up and down slowly.

2.5 euros gets you entry to go up the spiral staircase to get panoramic views over Noto. Be warned the staircase is extremely narrow and can get claustrophobic!

For two euros one comes to the tower of this church and has a great panorama over Noto. The spiral staircase is narrow and steep. There are a few niches to dodge. Nevertheless one should make oneself also orally. On sunday evening you will see a wonderful chorus and sound in stereo just from the archiecture.

beautiful church. not one of the biggest; pretty small actually with fascinating paintings on the ceiling. A very tight circular staircase brings you up to the balcony which has a wide view of the panorama including the sea and an even higher one with more of a view still.

The Chiesa di San Carlo al Corso in Noto, Sicily, Italy, was built after the 1693 earthquake. It was once connected to an adjacent Jesuit convent.

Loved this church, the view from the campanile over Noto is breathtaking

A spectacular sight at night and well lit up. The three domes inside is resembling that of Greece influenced design.

A full frontal view of the Church of San Domenico in Noto, Sicily — its elegant Baroque curves and twin bell towers rising gracefully under the clear blue sky, captured from a distance to showcase the church’s harmonious proportions and serene grandeur.

Thanks God ! This church has a some investment.

Outstanding view🙂 this city is just magical 🧙‍♀️

While there are many nice churches, this one is one of my favourites one

Impressive.....but that's about all.

Worth the visit.

A must see in Noto! I was so pleasantly surprised by this beautifully restored palace. Perfect for people who love interior design, history, architecture... Or just beautiful sites. For moms with strollers, consider a baby carrier since there are many stairs going up and down. The reception kindly let us leave our stroller behind the front desk. I loved the visit so much I left with the book :)

Impressive late 18C house in Noto adorned with a wide variety of beautiful artefacts and decorations. We were greeted and orientated for the self guided tour by a charming member of staff with excellent English. A QR code was provided to download a guide to the house. We admired the quiet, open and accessible rooms at our leisure, marvelling at the trappings and lifestyle of the local gentry, as experienced by participants in the Grand Tour. The kitchens and stables were also a fascinating insight. A highly enjoyable visit - recommended!

From the street it's very difficult to realize that it's a real palace.. But you would be attentive and lucky to be in time for the excursion - it's really worth to spend 12 euro!! Really impressive interior, that was restored.. But not fully, so you can see the old tiles on the floor.. Furniture of that time also impressed! But the main interesting room of the whole - the library! Here you realize that someone really lives here.. In this palace.. Cause in the library you can see either really ancient books, or modern one that reads the owner, sitting in that impressive chairs!

Huge palace tucked away on the back streets of Noto. Painstakingly restored by the new owner with a great attention to detail to original decorative finishes and an amazing selection of period pieces. We took the guided tour, the only way you can see the interior of the palace, and the guide was really informative and very easy to listen to and ask questions.

Amazing place! And above all - the stuff are fabulous, extra thanks for Andrea for such a great experience!

Enchanting little palace! We arrived one hour before closing and had the entire place for ourselves.

Very interesting and beautiful palace! Entrance 12€ per person! Worth it! The give you a QR CODE with information (guide) about every Room in the palace!

Nice day trip from Syracuse. Easy train ride to and from. Scenic street with churches and buildings. It is a climb to town from station. Would plan on about 3bhours with lunch there.

Loved Noto, the local craft vendors set up along the street entrance great idea for those who cannot walk far or do hills. The beautiful wide open courtyard gave a peak into the towns immense history of preservation of the church and growth for the future.

Located high on the hill it’s a birth place for Sicilian architecture and fashion for its day. Ruled by a royal family Marquis. A place worth visiting. The architecture like no other. Grand Buildings , statutes and churches. The power and wealth is seen.

A beautiful and iconic landmark at the entrance of Noto’s historic center. The arch is impressive in its neoclassical style and makes a perfect starting point for exploring the stunning baroque streets of the city. It’s a popular photo spot, especially at sunset when the light highlights its golden stone. The area is clean, welcoming, and often lively with visitors. Definitely worth stopping here to admire the craftsmanship and take in the atmosphere before walking down Corso Vittorio Emanuele. A must-see if you’re visiting Noto!

It is a beautiful and charming gate that gives us access to the amazing Noto. Nothing more. But very beautiful. A station parking bar... typical entrance of another era. Yellow like the rest of the baroque city that reemerged from the ruins of the 17th century earthquake.

The Porta Reale (1841) stands on Corso Vittorio Emanuele at the entrance to Noto on Sicily, Italy. Noto suffered a devastating earthquake in 1693 and the city's palaces, churches, and public buildings were rebuilt in the purest Baroque style.

I think this is the nicest city in Sicily! Beautiful clean streets, amazing restaurants and very impressive architecture. The whole city is full of hidden Jem’s down each street. We came in the evening for dinner and it was great!

A beautiful church in a great setting. It’s free as well!

Noto is full of beautiful Sicilian Baroque churches like these and all within a few hundred metres. And this is one of the beautiful churches you don't want to miss in Noto.

Architectural Grace Looking up at the majestic Chiesa di San Francesco d’Assisi all’Immacolata in Noto — its grand staircase leads to a beautifully ornate Baroque façade, standing tall under a vivid blue Sicilian sky. A stunning testament to the town’s architectural grace.

The church has a very good guide to all the side chapels and the art works on display. A beautiful Baroque interior with a calm and peaceful feeling. To get in is up a long flight of stairs, so difficult if you have mobility issues.

Just one of many amazing baroque churches in Noto, would highly recommend!

One of the many beautiful Churches in Notto Visiting Notto seems to be quite easy, you will just walk the main street, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, from one end to the other one and you will see on both sides most of the better attractions in Notto. You will probably, no, certainly, stop at Caffe Sicilia, one of the best conditoria in Sicily and anyway the most famous around, having there one of their special cakes or a granita. And you will see Notto Cathedral, Chiesa di San Domenico and the adjoining Fontana d'Ercole, the Palazzo Ducezio and many other beautiful masterpieces of architecture like this church: Convento San Francesco d'Assisi all'Immacolata. Stop there, get inside and enjoy.

Built between 1704 and 1745, the church is among the most imposing religious building of Noto. Characterized by harmonious facade and monumental entrance, I recommend you to visit it if you are around.

Awful place. Few trees, few benches under the full sun and there are lots of taxi drivers hunting for you. In addition the public toilet is closed...

Lovely Restaurant in Noto, Sicily. Fantastic food, great service, good value! Thank you to the Staff!

This place is... beyond charming, what a cultural and architectural delight!! The culture, history, vibrancy and overall energy is simply one of a kind. Definitely a day trip if you are staying in Siracusa, only 1 hour travel time from the train station. Be prepared...the architecture is mesmerising! My phone almost fried not due to the external temperature but due to constant picture and video taking;)

There is a small square right next to, with a new middle sized kids playground and trampolines.

Very beautiful but everything they sell experience for touris, church need buy tickets go inside every where.

Highly recommend visiting Noto full of history and beauty! Love the Mediterranean Sea!

The staff was very kind and the view of Noto Cathedral was beautiful. I recommend the combined ticket, together with Palazzo Nicolaci and Teatro Tina di Lorenzo

Pleasant walk through the Cathedral. Some very interesting art pieces on the walls. You can feel stepping back in time and image the history that took place here long before we arrived.

Noto Cathedral, also known as Cattedrale di San Nicolò, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Noto, Sicily, Italy. Dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Myra, it’s a prime example of Sicilian Baroque architecture. Construction began in the early 18th century after the 1693 earthquake and was completed in 1776. The cathedral features a stunning limestone façade with two bell towers, a monumental staircase, and a central bronze portal depicting scenes from Saint Conrad Confalonieri’s life. Its dome collapsed in 1996 due to structural issues from a 1990 earthquake but was rebuilt, and the cathedral reopened in 2007. The interior, with a Latin cross layout, houses Saint Conrad’s relics and modern frescoes. It’s part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto.

We visited the Cathedral of Noto and were truly impressed. Getting there was very easy – it’s about an hour’s drive from Catania on a smooth and convenient highway. Parking was no problem at all, we even found a free spot right next to the cathedral, which was a big plus. The cathedral itself is located right in the heart of the city, just as you’d expect. While there were some tourists around, it wasn’t overly crowded like in Taormina, which made the visit much more pleasant. The cathedral is stunning from the outside, but equally impressive inside – and best of all, admission is free. It’s definitely worth a visit, whether as part of a day trip or even just a half-day tour, since Noto is not a very large town. Still, there are several beautiful sights to explore, and the cathedral alone makes the trip more than worthwhile.

The cathedral sits beautifully at the top of the main staircase and is one of the highlights of Noto’s baroque architecture. The facade is grand and elegant, and the interior, while simpler, still feels impressive thanks to the height and the soft light coming through the windows. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re walking through the historic center. The view of the cathedral from the bottom of the steps is especially striking.

Warm Noto stone facade on the outside and inside a space of calm contemplation. By far the most spiritual and reflective church I have visited in Sicily. Don’t miss the Pentecost painting in the cupola.

The facade and side towers of the Cattedrale di San Nicolò or Duomo in Noto on Sicily, Italy, overlook the city. The cathedral's dome collapsed during a thunderstorm in 1996 but has since been rebuilt. The central nave bears a 20th century painting of the Assumption of the Madonna and the four cardinal virtues. The cathedral contains a wooden cross made by Italian artist Elia Li Gioi from fragments of migrant boats collected on nearby beaches.

We were luck to be here when there was an international piano competition was taking place in town. Walking through these streets looking at the grand architecture while capturing the Holly spirit of the Cathedral and other churches was absolutely breathtaking

An opulent Baroque palace belonging to the princes of Villadorata. You can visit some of the grand rooms including the lavishly decorated ballroom where piano recitals are sometimes held. Worth noting are the balconies with baroque masks for corbels, typical of the Sicilian Baroque style.

Step in and touch the past of Noto. Interesting place showing you the history of this famous local family as well as their way from France to Italy and Sicily in this case. Walking around in the rooms one has the opportunity to see the "old" way of spending time, having guests, entertaining family and friends in the music room as well as enjoy the view from the balcony. It is worth visiting and exploring this house full of marble.

Five winged horses appear as corbels on the front of Palazzo Nicolaci di Villadorata (1733) on Via Corrado Nicolaci in Noto, Sicily, Italy. Five plump faces appear on the corbels supporting a balcony of the palace. An annual flower festival called the Infiorata tajkes place on Via Corrado Nicolaci in front of the palace every May.

Virtually a few steps away from the cathedral well worth a visit. Few rooms have explanatory cards though which is a pity. Great views from the ballroom's balcony

A private palace. The last owner didn't have any offspring so it was sold to the state. It is beautifully presented. Especially the ceiling paintings and decorations with 3D effects.

The staff was very kind and the view from the balconies was beautiful. I recommend the combined ticket, together with Municipio and Teatro Tina di Lorenzo

The receptionist here made the visit. She was very keen to share about the place. The place itself is quite nice. Nice but not the grandest of palazzos I've seen around.

(Original) La Chiesa di San Salvatore a Noto è un'autentica gemma architettonica che incanta i visitatori con la sua eleganza e la sua bellezza. Situata nella suggestiva cittadina barocca di Noto, la chiesa risplende come un gioiello nel contesto di un'architettura barocca mozzafiato.

(Translated by Google) A majestic religious building located on the top of a spectacular staircase, the church of San Salvatore is a splendid example that testifies to the transition in Noto between late Baroque and neoclassicism. The construction works were initially entrusted to the architect Andrea Gigante, but upon his death in 1787, they were entrusted to the canon Antonio Mazza, to whom the design of the façade and that of the pronaos is attributed. The Basilica of the Santissimo Salvatore constitutes, together with the former convent and the seminary, a single monumental complex and is the largest building in Noto. It is also a perfect fusion between different architectural styles. In fact, the basilica is neoclassical, the monastery baroque while the seminary dates back to the twentieth century. (Original) Maestoso edificio di culto posto sulla sommità di una scenografica scalinata, la chiesa di San Salvatore è uno splendido esempio che testimonia il passaggio a Noto tra tardo barocco e neoclassicismo. I lavori di costruzione vennero inizialmente affidati all’architetto Andrea Gigante, ma alla sua morte, nel 1787, furono affidati al canonico Antonio Mazza, a cui è attribuito il progetto della facciata e quello del pronao. La Basilica del Santissimo Salvatore costituisce, insieme all’ex convento e al seminario, un unico complesso monumentale ed è l’edificio più grande di Noto. Inoltre è una perfetta fusione tra diversi stili architettonici. La basilica infatti è neoclassica, il monastero barocco mentre il seminario risale al Novecento.

(Translated by Google) The Basilica of the Santissimo Salvatore is a wonderful example of late Baroque and neoclassical architecture. From the church you can access the bell tower where you can admire a splendid panorama of the city. Hours: open every day from 10:00 to 18:00. Free entry. (Original) La Basilica del Santissimo Salvatore è un meraviglioso esempio di architettura tardo barocco e neoclassico. Dalla chiesa si può accedere alla torre campanaria dove si può ammirare uno splendido panorama sulla città. Orario: aperto tutti i giorni dalle 10:00 alle 18:00. Entrata gratuita.

(Translated by Google) The church of San Salvatore offers us a beautiful and well-known glimpse. Entrance is free, to go up and enjoy the viewpoint a €2.50 ticket is required. You access the stairs and go up both to the bell tower and to a terrace overlooking Noto and the Duomo. At sunset the view is stunning. (Original) La chiesa di San Salvatore ci offre un bellissimo scorcio si noto. L’entrata è gratuita, per salire e godere del belvedere è richiesto un biglietto di 2,50€. Si accede alle scale e si sale sia sul campanile che su una terrazza che affaccia su noto e sul Duomo. Al tramonto il panorama è stupendo.

(Translated by Google) Stupendous. A church from the late Baroque era, with a series of frescoes and stylistic details inside, testimony to the historical post-reconstruction era of Noto, following the earthquake of the 18th century. Both inside and outside it is much more interesting than the cathedral, recently rebuilt in the manner and image of the original and therefore devoid of the stylistic details that inexorably belong to the historical period in which they were built. The view from the bell tower is stunning! (Original) Stupenda. Una chiesa dell'epoca del tardo barocco, con all'interno una serie di affreschi e di dettagli stilistici, testimonianza dell'epoca storica post ricostruzione di Noto, a seguito del terremoto del '700. Sia all'interno che all'esterno risulta molto più interessante della cattedrale, ricostruita di recente a guisa e immagine della originaria e per questo priva dei dettagli stilistici che appartengono inesorabilmente al periodo storico nei quali sono realizzati. Stupenda la vista dal campanile!

(Translated by Google) In the churchyard overlooking the church of the SS. Salvatore at the end of July the festival of ephemeral arts takes place and the works are placed on the pavement. (Original) Nel sagrato prospiciente la chiesa del ss. Salvatore la fine del mese di luglio si svolge il festival delle arti effimere e nella pavimentazione sono collocate le opere.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful church with free entrance. For only 2,50€ you can go up the tower to see the city. (Original) Chiesa molto bella con ingresso gratuito. Con soli 2,50€ è possibile salire sulla torre per vedere la città.

We visited it because it was opened even during late night for a photographic exhibition.

Scam! Just a few things with no history for 4€!!! Definetly not recommandable all the reviews are from the past really bad!

Desperately closed. Information about the opening time is false. Like many other things in Sicily, sad to say.

What to say about Noto! A must visit.

Very nice

(Translated by Google) The Civic Museum of Noto, located in the Nicolaci Palace of Villadorata, houses a rich collection of archaeological finds, works of art and testimonies of local history. Among its main sections are the archaeological one, with finds dating back to Greek and Roman times, and the one dedicated to the history of art, which includes paintings, sculptures and decorative arts. The museum is an important cultural center for understanding the historical and artistic heritage of the city of Noto and the surrounding area but also the contemporary one. (Original) Il Museo Civico di Noto, situato nel Palazzo Nicolaci di Villadorata, ospita una ricca collezione di reperti archeologici, opere d'arte e testimonianze della storia locale. Tra le sue sezioni principali vi sono quella archeologica, con reperti risalenti all'epoca greca e romana, e quella dedicata alla storia dell'arte, che include dipinti, sculture e arti decorative. Il museo è un importante centro culturale per comprendere il patrimonio storico e artistico della città di Noto e del territorio circostante ma anche quello contemporaneo.

(Translated by Google) A few displays downstairs, a few coins, medals and figurines upstairs, not bad for 4 euros per person. (Original) Parę ekspozytow na dole na górze pare monet medali i figurek jak za 4 euro za osobę to bez szału.

There was only one Caravaggio work. Most people were attracted by the name of the exhibition. The 13 Euro ticket was expensive because the staff at the door introduced it as the most important part of Caravaggio in Sicily. I felt cheated. In fact, it could have been introduced as an exhibition of some Maltese painters. There was no need to use Caravaggio's name to bluff. But there is one treasure by the Spanish painter Jusebe de Ribera!!

We ultimately did not visit the museum because the welcome was particularly unfriendly. After reading other reviews, we can see that this feeling is shared, which is unfortunate for a cultural venue that surely deserves better.

Temporary exhibit on Caravaggio influences over local artists in Sicily throughout the 17th century, WORTH A VISIT in order to understand the transition to baroque paintings.

Very unfriendly front office staff. Second half of the exposition is "closed" The staff inside was very friendly and kind

Ok exhibition on Warhole and contemporaries. Bit high price for what you get. Be warned, if you enter with children the guard keeps on following you like she is the police. Not a pleasant experience. Sure, children are not supposed to touch anything and we told them ourselves, but following us every step and correcting us is not the right way.

Absolute diamond in the rough. Fantastic museum, during a weekday in May we were practically alone, it's incredibly well curated, there was a "women in Art" gallery and I have no idea how they get their hands on such great stuff, there was an authentic Caravaggio (!!!), Yoko Ono's weirdness, Frida Kahlo's dresses, and a room-sized tribute to Yayoi Kusama, nothing short of incredible for such a small town deep in the Sicilian countryside.

Went there for the ICON exposition. Very poor collection. €13 per ticket for 2 rooms of art, sad. Wouldn't recommend.

The views and the location are excelent, unfortunatley they want to squezz as much money out of the hostal terrace as possible so they use it as a terrace for and external night bar, we ended up having strangers drinking gintonics beside out drying swimsuts and towels and couldnt sleep until 1:30 am when the bar was closing. really not recomended if you go with a family or for a chill night.

We loved this hostel. It is so gr8. The view is spectacular and the people are so nice and helpful. Only 2 min. from all the things you want to see. Clean and good beds.

Such a lovely place in beautiful Noto. The room was spacious and the view is breathtaking. The host was amazing, the breakfast was great, we didn't want to leave. :))

The view is beautiful, the room was very spacious even though it was a bit strange to have 4 sinks for only two people. Very good price for what it is. However, I would suggest improving the breakfast: fresh squeezed orange juice for example, fresh fruit salad, and natural yogurt of great quality instead of processed yogurt with artifical flavors, add more variety for the pastries.... If you improve your breakfast my score will go up to a 5 starts :)

I would give 5 Stars if it was for the location alone. But... I think this place needs a little makeover. I know it is a hostel and that's fine but even though, the rooms and especially the bathrooms need some renewal. We had a room that was made for 8 people for just the 2 of us which was nice and we had a lot of space. The view on the city was perfect. However, the beds (all but one were bunk beds) were a bit older. And the shower and toilet rooms could surely be modernised. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Umbrellas for the beach are available which was nice. Breakfast was ok but not great; sweetened juice and yoghurt... I think that could be improved easily (maybe some fresh fruit and pure yoghurt instead).

Late September 2019 Comfortable, clean, very good value, and the best breakfast with a variety of meat cheese fruit and home made cakes. Wonderful view from our spacious room. The most friendly hosts. I would certainly return to this place.

way to expansive for what you get. Payed 131€ for a family room, which looked more like a dungeon. Bathroom was dirty and smelly. Breakfast is a joke. Owner was really nice and good location, but for the price an absolut no go.

We recently visited a rooftop bar that had absolutely amazing cocktails – they were flawless, and the view was truly spectacular. However, unfortunately, the service did not live up to the same standard. It was incredibly slow, with zero attention from the staff. We had to wait a really long time for our food, and even longer when we wanted to order a second round of drinks, despite the place being nearly empty. Another strange aspect was the payment system: after finishing your food and drinks upstairs, you had to go down to the reception desk to pay. There, you had to tell the receptionist exactly what you ordered – and if you didn’t remember the cocktails' fancy names, they had absolutely no idea what to charge you for. Also, the staff upstairs didn’t speak a word of English, which wouldn't be a big problem usually, but not even knowing basic things like "still water" being non-sparkling water made it very frustrating. At the reception, after we somehow pieced together what we had consumed, the receptionist disappeared for about 15 minutes to find change, and when she returned, she handed us a torn 10-euro note. All in all, the drinks and the view were fantastic, but the service experience left a lot to be desired.

Can’t rate the hotel but we visited the rooftop bar where the quality of drinks did not meet the setting. We paid €20 for a below average margarita cocktail, glass only half full and €8 for an ‘infusion drink’ which was basically a glass filled with ice, water and a tea bag. For this price you would expect a really great drink. There was a Martini promo event going on with music just a bit too loud. To top the experience our clothes got wet from the outdoor seating cushions. Staff is friendly though and the view is nice.

After seeing the sunset in Noto we thought it would be delightful to have a cocktail on the rooftop terrace here before dinner. We are not guests but the receptionist said we were very welcome. We took the lift to level 2 and found the most spectacular location. We sat for about 20minutes before someone came to take our order. We all had favourite cocktails in mind…. For the waiter to realise that we had not been given “menus for drinks”. The menu a took a while to arrive, then realising our favourites weren’t on there….. we took a while to decide….so the long and short of it was…. We ordered drinks that we thought were quick to make….. otherwise we would have been late for dinner…..took us an hour and a quarter for a long wait and a hurried drink! So depends what one wants….. if u have all the time in the world…. The location and outlook and vibe is amazing. The customer service and staff training is very poor indeed.

We came for a drink on the rooftop terrace, we sat there for 45 minutes and left because we still didn’t have our drink. It was not even busy at all. Worst service I ever had. At least the view is nice ;)

Avoid this place at all costs! I have never experienced such a lack of professionalism. Absolutely shocked by the level of service. I’ve emailed them twice 2 weeks and 1 week before the day we were meant to get there asking for some info and if I can book a table. No response whatsoever. We got there, we asked if we can get a table, they said they open at 17:00. I told them I’ve emailed them and they could’ve easily mention this via email and I would’ve avoided a 1h30min trip from Catania to Noto and they just didn’t care.

Very friendly staff and great view from the rooftop, but disappointing cocktails, very basic for 22€ you pay clearly just for the view, which is a pity because they could have done something good quality all the way.

We wanted to go to the rooftop terrace, emailed twice without getting an answer back and went there to be told the terrace its closed. This type of place should at least have the decency to add the opening hours on the website and reply to customers emails. Respect your clientele more!

Q92 is one of the most beautiful boutique hotels in Noto. The design is absolutely stunning, with attention to every detail and impeccable taste. The staff is exceptionally professional and genuinely welcoming. Having breakfast with a view of UNESCO heritage landmarks is a true aesthetic pleasure 🤌 Highly recommended, especially for those who appreciate beauty, atmosphere, and refined experiences.

Very charming hotel that has been converted from a large family home. There are multiple living rooms that are beautifully decorated and have a beautiful ambience. Location could not be better or more central, though other comments mentioned hearing noise, our stay was uninterrupted and peaceful. Bar is a must and the staff really look after you beautifully. A true 5* experience and would do anything to return one day.

Had a great stay here for a couple of nights in May. The hotel location can't be beat and the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially in booking dinner reservations! I have to say that the decor in our room was some of the wackiest I have ever seen in a hotel room, but it was all part of the fun. The room was huge and had all the amenities you would expect from a high end hotel.

We had a lovely stay at Q92 in Noto. Situated in the heart of this baroque city beside the Noto Cathedral yet very quiet and peaceful in the hotel. Rooms was clean and had all amenities needed, very comfortable bed and spotless bathroom. The staff at Q92 couldn't be better, always there when you needed and would go out of their way to be helpful. We went to Sicily by car and there was a square where parking was available just beside the hotel. We will definitely return to Q92 when we revisit Noto.

We had a lovely 2 night stay. It is a very romantic hotel with very personalised and helpful service from all of the hotel staff. The location is also very special in the heart of this small and beautiful town of Noto. It felt like staying at an Italian 'home'. If you want a gym / health club, fancy restaurants or a big pool -- this is not the place. If you want to experience 'Italian hospitality' - this is your place.

Absolutely gorgeous hotel in a renovated palazzo and located right in the centre of Noto. Our room was fabulous with an absolutely massive bed, lovely bathroom beautifully decorated. The staff were welcoming and couldn’t have been more helpful Definitely recommend staying here

We stayed at Q92 for one week with our 2 young children and could not have asked for a more wonderful stay. The staff went above and beyond in making us feel comfortable and we truly had such a relaxing time. The hotel is in a great location, and the rooms are well equipped. There is a large variety of foods at breakfast and we enjoyed having a drink every now and then in the lounge. Overall I would highly recommend staying here when you are in Noto!

Giuseppe and his family were very welcoming. The room were rustic and very pretty. The breakfast was excellent with many local sweet treats. We booked upon a recommendation from friends and would certainly recome d to others.

Great clean rooms. Impressive artisanal breakfast selection. But most of all it’s the hospitality of Giuseppe, his wife and staff is what won us over. Will definitely return. Keep it up.

MichaEl Garden is nothing short of AMAZING! It’s brand new with stylishly furnished rooms. Noto city centre is just a short walk away from this quiet, welcoming property surrounded by a beautiful garden. The hosts are extremely kind and always willing to help. Highly recommended!

Best breakfast in Sicily! Gorgeous rooms. Good value.

Lovely place, a little walk from Noto, so not very central, but very comfortable and an incredible breakfast. Homemade cakes were incredible!

Best place to stay in Noto!

(Translated by Google) At MichaEl Garden we felt welcomed and pampered right away. The breakfast is typical Sicilian, the products are always fresh and the tarts are divine. All in a location with attention to detail and attention to the smallest details. The rooms are clean, equipped with all comforts, spacious. The b&b has parking and if you want you can reach the center of Noto on foot. Giuseppe, as well as being a kind and professional homeowner, is also a giver of advice for TOP places to visit!!! If the opportunity arises to return to Noto I would definitely return to the MichaEl garden. Thanks for everything! (Original) Al MichaEl Garden ci siamo sentiti accolti e coccolati sin da subito. La colazione è tipica siciliana, i prodotti sempre freschi e le crostate sono divine. Il tutto in una location curata nei dettagli e attenti ai minimi dettagli. Le camere sono pulite, dotate di tutti i comfort, spaziose. Il b&b è dotato di parcheggio e volendo si può raggiungere il centro di noto a piedi. Giuseppe oltre che un proprietario di casa gentile e professionale, è anche un dispensatore di consigli per luoghi da visitare TOP!!! Se capiterà l’occasione di tornare a Noto ritornerei sicuramente al MichaEl garden. Grazie di tutto!

A concept store took over this church now, it is lovely but there are many stairs to go it as it is in a different part of of Noto, but worth checking it out if you are Noto.

It is converted into a fashion boutique. Lovely interiors, but felt weird nevertheless. Though much better like this instead of being closed

Witnessing a luxury boutique within a magnificent and ancient Sicilian baroque church is truly disheartening...

(Translated by Google) The Church of Sant'Agata has been deconsecrated for a long time and is used as a warehouse for materials of various kinds. I occasionally found it open and managed to take a couple of photos. Only we in Italy can afford to waste so much beauty... (Original) La Chiesa di Sant’Agata è sconsacrata da molto tempo ed è utilizzata come deposito materiali di vario genere. L’ho trovata occasionalmente aperta e sono riuscito a fare un paio di foto. Solo noi in Italia possiamo permetterci di sciupare tanta bellezza…

(Translated by Google) Great altar, Great ceiling fresco Okay, but it takes some getting used to seeing high-priced goods for sale in a former place of worship that was desecrated specifically for this purpose. However, it really hits the nail on the head: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. There is only one God. In this day and age, TV, music, shoes, and clothing are status symbols and godlike in people's eyes. So this shop fits in with a place of worship that is no longer one. Especially since the salespeople's disinterest is similar to the behavior of a pretty woman salesperson. (Original) Toller Altar, Tolles Deckenfresko OK, jedoch gewöhnungsbedürftig in einem ehemaligen, dafür extra entweihtem Gottesraum hochpreisige Ware zum Verkauf anzusehen. Jedoch, des Pudels Kern trifft es auf den Punkt: Du sollst keine anderen Götter neben mir haben. Es gibt nur einen Gott. In der heutigen Zeit ist ja TV, Musik, Schuhe, Kleidung Status Symbol und Gottähnlich in der Betrachtung der Menschen. Daher passt dieser Laden in das Gotteshaus das keins mehr ist. Zumal das Desinteresse der Verkäufer ähnlich dem pretty Woman Verkäufer Verhalten ist.

Not worth the detour according to my opinion. And 6 euro for entrance for such a small exhibition might not be worth it. If you really enjoy history and archaeology you might enjoy it.

What a great find very much by accident while driving from marzamemi to siracusa! Definitely worth the stop, amazing mosaics similar to Piazza Armerina but of course a much smaller residence - nonetheless they have been very well preserved and have great detail (and the bonus is you don't have to hike all the way to piazza armerina to see them if you are limited with time).

Wonderful mosaic, very well presented.With very friendly staff.

If you are in the area, pop in. I am looking to go back when the excavation will be completed. The Mosaics are impressive, good quality as the Villa del Casale.

Roman Mosaics were dusty and a bit dull but the explanation cards were excellent. View down valley to sea showed why location was in use for nearly 2000 years. €8 entrance fee in cash was steep for a few mosaics, but hopefully it went to the Archeological dig which is still going on.

Fascinating to think that there was a massive temple with mosaic flooring of this quality over 2000 years ago. It’s small but cool and if you like history, it’s worth a stroll through.

This is not as extensive as the villa Romana Casale but a number of mosaics are really great work of art and worth seeing. And it's more relaxed than Casale.

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.

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.

An extraordinary and wonderful place to stay, in an historic palace from the 18th century. The location is central for the town next to the cathedral, and this is a beautiful old building in Noto. The staff are very helpful and kind, and can provide a guided tour of the state rooms of the palace. The bedrooms are a little austere, with basic but functional furniture and bathrooms. The bed was comfortable and the place was clean. Car parking is available on the road at the front. A few things to be noted: Breakfast was adequate but more 3* than 4*. The cathedral bells start ringing on the hour at 7am. There is sometimes noise coming up from the crowded bar opposite or buskers. We did not regret staying here, and would come back if visiting Noto.

This was my first time in Noto and how lucky I got by randomly picking this gem of a place in the heart of Noto right next door to the SN Cathedral. Firstly, the staff are the nicest, most polite people and incredibly helpful professionals. Secondly, the rooms are spacious, ultra clean and quiet with the exception of the absolutely magical sound of the bell from the Cathedral right next door. Truly one of the most amazing experiences that I can not wait to revisit asap! Landolina, you are in my heart! Thank you and see you soon💌 Grazie tante! Henri RW, NYC

The Landolina Palace hotel is a stunning mansion left of the Noto's cathedral, whose history goes back to the XVIII century. When entering this Unesco's recognized site, you loose the usual cognition of space and time and decidedly enter the dreamful Stendhal syndrome. This unique experience of culture and beauty is supplemented by a staff both professionally skilled and willing and able to taylor the accommodation most suited to your wishes. Whatever your choice, be it the very generously sized two bedrooms suites, or a standard room, your stay will be unforgettable, and when leaving you could not avoid promising yourself to be back as soon as possible.

Beautiful building and great location, but the rooms themselves and breakfast for the price just don’t fair well…

We had a really beautiful stay at the palazzo. Monica is the nicest host ❤️

(Translated by Google) It's a little dull because what's in front of it is the most beautiful thing there is so you almost don't even realize it's there but it looks good (Original) Queda un poco apagado porque lo que tiene enfrente es lo más bonito que hay en noto entonces casi no te das ni cuenta que está ahí pero tiene buen aspecto

(Translated by Google) Eighteenth-century baronial noble palace with a rectangular plan located in a fairly central area of ​​the city center and built following one of the many earthquakes that devastated the entire area over the centuries, a circumstance made evident by the fact that the façade abandons the Baroque influences to orient yourself on a style that recalls French Neoclassical (Original) Palazzo nobiliare baronale settecentesco a pianta rettangolare ubicato in una zona abbastanza centrale del nucleo cittadino e realizzato in seguito ad uno dei tanti terremoti che nel corso dei secoli hanno devastato tutta l'area, circostanza resa evidente dal fatto che la facciata abbandona gli influssi barocchi per orientarsi su uno stile che richiama il Neoclassico francese
