The host was not very friendly. He was in a bad mood today, yelling at his guest.

Interesting location. We enjoyed visiting the main building with the owner following the breakfast. Our accommodation was rather underwhelming however considering the overall location and price.

Beautiful century-old palazzo still maintained by the owners' family, very close to the best restaurants and sights in beautiful Noto. Delicious breakfast in the beautiful garden.Highly recommended!

Ok so I have nothing against the B&B - lovely man, nice breakfast - rooms are a bit like priest cells with no proper windows but are OK. My main complaint is that the place is advertised with Parking. Please be aware it does not have parking - you park on the busy street if you are lucky enough to find a space nearby we did not - Knowing Noto quite well I search for properties with Parking and this says free parking which it does not have. if you class on street parking as free then all hotels and B&B's in Noto have free parking - I expected to find somewhere reserved to park. I think Hotels.com need to remove the free Parking from this hotel and will be requesting they remove this.

Good room in a period building. Very near the old town. Breakfast was good and the guided tour to the owner’s house. Parking is difficult.

The owner of this hotel was very helpful. It is in a good location for seeing the sites of Noto and the Vendicari Reserve. The breakfast had a good variety. Parking is on the street.

Our overnight stay was even better than many other reviews. Gianni was terrific - helping us to quickly find parking with cars backed up in the narrow street; gracious as he showed us around and explained that this had been his family’s home for many years; for giving us a modern, well-upgraded suite; providing a tasty breakfast although there were only a few of us there and lastly for his interesting tour of this lovely, old home. And yes, for recommending nearby Esperia for what my wife says was her best pizza ever! A fabulous, happy stay, thank you

It took 10/15 minutes to find the hotel and park when we first arrived, parked about 200m away. Subsequently we parked in a small, free lot at the end of the street, about 300m away with no trouble. This location provided an easy getaway for trips out of town. The minor issue with parking was more than made up for by the proximity to the main street in Noto, about 300m away whilst the nearest bars and cafes are only 100m away. Easy check in, room and bathroom were plenty big enough, dark and quiet at night. Didn't really need the air-con in mid October and didn't bother with the TV. Wi-fi connectivity was good. Loved the historic nature of the breakfast room and the breakfasts and excellent service from Giovanni and the girls. Really enjoyed Noto and the surrounding area, excellent food in various establishments and seemed to be good value as they catered for locals and tourists. For a beach trip, the Lido di Noto was about 15 minutes drive and the Abbronzatissima Beach Club was good value. Free parking ( October midweek ) excellent sandy beach, 2 beds and parasol 10eu and another good lunch.

An ordinary exterior, hides this hidden treasure from view. Once you are through the gate you will see a large complex which includes a historic mansion, where breakfasts are served, and a series of spacious multistory guest quarters. These are beautifully furnished with modern attractive fixtures and comfortable beds. However the lovely garden is the best feature of all. Flowering trees and shrubs surround comfortable garden chairs and tables. The noise and bustle of the streets disappears and you have a lovely place to relax, talk with family, read, plan your next day's adventure. One of the best places we stayed.

The room was fine. The breakfast was the standard food we had at several B&Bs in Sicily. The so-called "garden" is a shaded gravel pit with mostly plastic furniture.

Very nice hotel in an old Noto palace. The owner gives you a guided tour of the palace, which has been in his family for 175 years.

Il Giardino is a wonderful place, very comfortable and relaxing. Francesco is incredibly helpful with recommendations of where to go, what to do, etc. The beach reservation he made for us was spectacular, and we are not beach people. I would definitely recommend Il Giardino to anyone visiting the beautiful Baroque jewel of Noto!

We stayed 2 nights and really enjoyed this quaint accommodation. The main house was a museum and you are offered a tour after breakfast, don't refuse, it's well worth it and only takes a few minutes. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely and very fresh. The room was cleaned daily and is spotless. It is very secure and safe and you have access to your room from the street.

Located along a small (but busy) road close to the city centre (a short walk to the theatre) this hotel is well placed to visit the centre of Noto. The room is well appointed (Sky, big bathroom), but WiFi only available near reception and in the garden area. The breakfast is served in the main house (Palazzo) in the original baroque dining room. There was a full range of continental breakfast (brioche, cheese, ham, cake, freshly squeezed orange juice) and afterwards the hotel owner offers a tour of the palazzo where he and his family still live. I drawback may be the lack of easy parking, but then this is located in the city centre.

Beautiful mansion right by the center of Noto. The garden area was very well kept and quiet. The rooms all faced the garden so it was extremely quiet at night. The mansion, where the plentiful breakfast was served, was lovely. Our host went out of his way to be helpful, even offering to have breakfast ready early for us and then driving us to the bus station. The room we had was well appointed and very spacious.
