San Carlo Suites

We spent a leisurely 14 nights at the San Carlo Suites in October The balcony of our spacious suite overlooked the principal Corso Vittorio Emanuale. In the morning we opened the shutters and listened to the happy muted sounds of the Cafe Sicilia below. The suite was very quiet. The Suites are ideally situated to what Noto has to offer the tourist. Everything is within walking distance, cathedrals, churches, basilica, art galleries, palaces, and market. We planned to spend a bit of time in baroque Noto before moving on to explore Catania for a few days before travelling home, and had plenty of time to explore Noto and its environs. There are plenty of eateries offering a wide selection of Italian foods, and plenty of good local wines on offer. We like the Italian culture and history, and language. If you want to practice your language proficiency there’s nobody better to speak to than Laura who is there day to day. From our initial booking of the accommodation she was extremely helpful when calling from home, and full of information while we were there. Breakfasts were varied and delicious, with homemade cakes, quiches made by Marta.

We absolutely loved our stay in Noto and San Carlo Suites were amazing. Laura and Lucrezia could not have been more helpful or welcoming. Our rooms were beautifully presented and breakfast was delicious. The hotel is located right in the middle of the old town so you can easily walk to the main sites. Parking is close by also. A very memorable stay!

Friendly attitude on arrival, beautiful and comfortable room with quality bedding and toiletries. Nespresso machine in room with good bar fridge and some delicious almond biscuits on arrival. Central to Noto’s main sites… a very good place to stay - lovely boutique hotel.

This hotel is right, smack dab, dead center in Noto, where you want to be. You DO need to read up on ZTL's and understand that you're basically gonna dump the rental car and walk. I'm 70 and a bit gimpy but was able to do the town on foot and see everything. Having said that, parking is like ballroom dancing and the moves need to be carefully executed, but once sussed, we LOVED San Carlo Suites. Be advised, there are some stairs and no elevator. STILL, I loved the place. Staff was excellent and the room and everything about it was terrific.

The location is perfect, the room spacious, large bathroom- fabulous products, fluffy towels, lovely breakfast, and the people here are so helpful, and patient! (Yikes ….we asked a lot of questions !) had great recommendations for restaurants and made reservations for us. Did I already say patient? We are walkers, and being in the center was so convenient. Definitely recommend.
