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.

“Simply stunning”

We were on a bike tour around Sicily and stayed at quite a few inns but, by far, Villa Favorita was our favorite.

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!

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.

Stayed for 3 nights as part of a tour group . Our tour company had requested a walk in shower room & this was allocated , so a very good start . The buildings are beautiful, it really is a lovely setting . Our room was fine with wardrobe space and a couple of counter tops . The safe was not a great size , no use for an iPad ,so really only passports & money . Our bathroom was ok but there wasn’t shelves to put anything, although there was a tray in the shower . This had a curtain but it did the job of keeping the floor dry . We both found the bed far too hard as we are used to memory foam at home . We struggled with the pillows as prefer something softer . We had a small courtyard with a table & a couple of lounger type chairs. It would have been very hot to sit here as it was totally enclosed. The gardens were lovely with loads of seating , comfy sofas , tables & chairs for breakfast & dinner . Lots of sunloungers around the pool too . Towels were collected from reception with no charge. The pool was fabulous, really a great size & very easy entry with a staircase , no rails but I managed . Breakfast was laid out in a beautiful room on a huge table , with smaller tables for drinks . A lovely selection of fruits, juices , cereals, dairy, pastries, cold cuts , cheese selections, salad / vegetables, breads & I think some hot items also . I fell in love with the dark chocolate tart & the ricotta one was delicious too . We ate dinner here as a group twice . There was a pasta dish , a main dish & a dessert. Personally I would have preferred a choice although the food was tasty , it would not have been choices we would have made from a menu . Our tour company did tell us we would have a set menu though. Water wasn’t provided at dinner , although other hotels on our tour did provide this . Wine & drinks were a reasonable price for a hotel , especially as it was far from the local town . You would need a car to stay here . The setting was lovely & we were sorry to leave , we would certainly recommend this as as great place to stay . Maybe as independent travellers you would have better dinner choices but I never did see a menu .
