Much enjoyed our brief stay here. The staff were very helpful and friendly- especially when we needed a late check out. Also had a very good relaxed dinner with the family - Sicilian food - fried fish, lots of salad and mussels. Pool just what needed - and great view to Noto.

This converted Villa has been turned into a quirky hotel offering large bedrooms over three buildings. The hotel maintains its high class villa feeling with its layout, furnishings and décor. The pool and outdoor seating area spaces are relaxing without being cramped. if you don't have a car it's a 15 euro taxi ride into Noto. Noto is spectacular with beautify architecture and loads of restaurants. During our 3 night stay we decided to eat at the hotel restaurant. They food, service and value for money was excellent. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful Would definitely recommend a stay at this fab hotel.

Outstanding place, good service, fantastic food (best in Sicily we have tasted) comfy bed, nice room. The weather was poor when we went, so we didnt try the pool, it looks inviting, nice patio areas and options to eat alfresco, again the weather meant we were inside. Our only criticism was the lack of places to sit inside during the day/evening, so we spent more time in our room that we wanted (due to bad weather) I would recommend
Response from Property: We are glad you enjoyed food, bed and room. Hope to see you again one day with a better weather!

We were on a bike tour around Sicily and stayed at quite a few inns but, by far, Villa Favorita was our favorite. The grounds are stunning, rooms are clean and spacious, food and service was impeccable. The location is perfect as well - it's close enough to easily get to Noto but far enough to feel like a serene oasis. We looked foward to relaxing by the gorgeous pool every day after biking - lots of lounge/sunning options as well as an outdoor bar to quench your thirst. It was amazing! Thank you to the family and staff of Villa Favorita for such a wonderful experience!
Response from Property: Thank you so much for staying with us. We are glad you enjoyed location, pool, staff and services, Hope to see you again one day!

Wow! Just returned from a blissful stay at this magical place, and everything was perfect: Villa Favorita has the amenities and convenience of a big hotel with the attention to detail and thoughtful service of a boutique villa. The setting is spectacular, in the middle of olive, citrus and almond trees on a breezy hilltop just outside of Noto (and an easy 1/2 drive to Siracusa and multiple gorgeous beaches, although we were so wowed by this hotel we really didn't want to leave!). An incredible pool (large enough to swim laps), charming staff, sweeping views of both the sea and Noto and a restaurant that captures the delicious freshness of Sicilian food were icing on this very special cake. The regal roots of Villa Favorita are everywhere visible, and the gracious owner is a very hands-on host. We spent ten days in Sicily, traveling from Palermo to Trapani to Catania, and this was by far our favorite spot, which would be a bargain at twice the price.
Response from Property: Thank you we are so glad you enjoyed your stay and you appreciated our hospitality! Hope to see you again one day!

Villa Favorita is a beautiful and welcoming place to stay. We had ten relaxing days swimming in the gorgeous pool, enjoying the delicious Sicilian cuisine, visiting Noto, Lido di Noto beach and Ortigia. Everyone made us feel very comfortable, and were so helpful with suggestions for our trips, and travel arrangements, nothing was too much trouble. Villa Favorita has been stylishly restored. The rooms and communal spaces are charming and much thought has gone into them. We had a terrace looking over the orange trees out to sea, very relaxing. We didn’t hire a car, but the reception team put us in contact with a super taxi driver who collected us from the airport as well as driving us to our sightseeing trips. It worked out really well. We hope to visit again!
Response from Property: We are very glad you enjoyed your 10 days stay here, pool, food, rooms and staff. Hope to see you again one day!

Spent one night with our multi-generational family at Villa Favorita. We took advantage of the gorgeous swimming pool with view of Noto and enjoyed the breakfast served in the outdoor patio. Noto is the must see that is described in the travel guides. We had a car but used the services of the driver associated with the hotel to drive us to dinner in Noto. We asked many questions at check in and over the course of our stay, and all of our questions were answered promptly with our best care in mind.

What a sweet experience just outside of Noto. Quiet , tranquil & super helpful Staff. We also love tony the taxi driver he was so fun & loved to chat which pushed me to learn some Italiano! We highly recommend getting up early for a swim & don’t miss breakfast bc it’s over at 10!

A fantastic friendly hotel where the staff are amazing and make your stay as comfortable as possible. The area is amazing and full of great places to visit from beaches to culture and brilliant restaurants. Thanks to the team in the dining room and bar and to the reception staff for organising a last minute boat trip for us. Great food, drinks and a comfortable room!

Undoubtedly the nicest hotel of a guided tour of Sicily, the Villa Favorita is situated a little way outside Noto. You would need your own transport. It is a converted country villa, with my room in what had probably once been the stables. The only apparent drawback the first night was very poor wifi which kept on cutting out after a few minutes, but this may have been due to atmospheric conditions – Etna was erupting! It was better the other nights, although it worked only in the rooms and not in the public areas. The restaurant, where we also had breakfast, was in the main house, and was very good. I particularly enjoyed the pork with apple slices and fried potatoes, and the selection of pastries was lovely at breakfast. The room was very quiet and the bed comfortable. The outdoor pool was lovely if rather cold. It was slightly warmer at one end than the other, but was enjoyable two swim in with a nice quality of water, and would be wonderfully refreshing in the heat of the summer. Garden is pretty with a lovely scent of jasmine (I think).

Beautiful villa, refurbished farm, country house, but very small rooms. Damp, no water, food mediocre....staff mixed. Some waiters great, others surly and downright officious and "prepotente".Given that you are outside Noto could at least offer you water, tissues etc in your room and possibly a courtesy service to take you to Noto.
Response from Property: Dear Mr or Mrs, we are glad you enjoyed the Villa. We have 5 categories rooms with different sizes. Next time you should have a look to our Suite or Superior rooms. Photos, room' s sizes and services are mentioned on our website and in all our booking channel online and offline. We are sorry you didn't appreciated some of our staff. Best regards

This was a truly beautiful historic place to stay. The property is perfectly looked after, the setting is tranquil and there's a lovely large pool. Staff were friendly and welcoming. It was a the perfect retreat for a week, while being only 10 minutes from Noto and a great location for touring the south east of Sicily. There was an excellent range of foods at breakfast and evening meals were delicious and typically Sicilian with a good range of local wines too. A very special place to stay - we loved it!

Lovely hotel in peaceful location but convenient location with beautiful grounds. Loved our 2 night stay here, the staff were lovely, dinner both nights on the terrace was delicious and the room was very comfortable with a lovely sea view. Great location as long as you have a car, good base from which to visit Noto and other local attractions with a fantastic pool to come back to when you are hot and tired from sightseeing. Would love to return.
