Hotel Villa Favorita, Noto

Guests at this hotel near Noto, Sicily can look forward to a stay in an authentic baroque villa built with the distinctive honey-coloured stone of this UNESCO heritage site city. The hotel's rooms are designed in a sparse Sicilian style with dark pine flooring and ceilings, and feature all the amenities you'd expect from a modern three star hotel. You can enjoy a dip in the hotel's swimming pool, lined with almond trees, or take a relaxing stroll through the verdant grounds of the villa before dinner in the hotel restaurant.

Just a few miles down the road is the distinguished and charming city of Noto. One of the highlights of the south-east of Sicily, this baroque town is known historically as the Stone Garden because of its abundance of palaces, churches and piazzas. One of the great pleasures to be had here is simply walking through its narrow passageways and admiring the balconies, archways and facades to be seen on every street. Head to the Palazzo Ducezio for a glimpse of how Sicilians lived in the 18th century. Now the Town Hall, the Palazzo admits visitors to see the famous Sala degli Specchi (Hall of Mirrors), an enormous room with notable frescoes and antique furniture.

The restaurant at this Noto hotel offers a selection of local delicacies and national dishes and can be booked for business meetings, presentations or even wedding parties. There is a free car park with valet parking, and parents will be pleased to know there is an outdoor play area for the children.
