Mr & MRS Smith Seven Rooms Villadorata

Was absolutely thrilled with my stay here. It’s a beautiful old palazzo right in a perfect location in the historic centre of Noto. The staff was excellent and very helpful and all very pleasant to deal with. They make sure your stay is perfect. And I love old fashioned door keys to get in!

The location is in the middle of the busy downtown area for this city. the hotel said they would actually refund my Money due to the loud noise issues from the party in the courtyard. They asked me to take my review down and then they would issue a refund which is really bizarre. Review removed and they then said they would not refund the money still. They went back on their word which is why this review is being posted about the noise issue. Went to complain about the noise and NO one was even on site. There is no staffing in the evening and overnight when I went to complain about this noise.

Located in the heart of the historic district of the quaint and beautiful baroque city of Noto, everything you need for a stay is within walking distance including plenty of restaurants, shopping, historic sights and more. The goal of the hotel to “treat its guests like royalty” is definitely accomplished. Martina, Alberto and the rest of the staff are incredibly attentive and truly available to help with whatever you need including dinner reservations, insight regarding the city and transportation, among other things. The room we stayed in (balcony) was somewhat smallish and dark at times, but spotless and well-appointed. The private balcony was a huge plus for enjoying some outdoor space and our breakfasts.

We stayed here for our honeymoon recently- the building itself is absolutely gorgeous with jasmine blooming along the walls and along the balconies. The room was exquisite, beautiful art, tiles, architecture and sculptures. The best things about our stay was the exceptional service we received from every staff member we interacted with. They helped us with reservations, where to go, scheduling transfers to and from Ragusa at the last minute, and they even arranged for cafe Sicilia brioche to be delivered to our room the night before we left since we were leaving before breakfast service started. We will certainly return in the future! We loved everything about Noto, but our hotel was definitely a highlight.

We had an outstanding 3 night stay at Seven Rooms Villadorata. We had a beautiful junior suite with a small balcony/rooftop view from which we enjoyed a gorgeous sunset one evening. We appreciated having a delicious daily breakfast brought to our room and housekeeping was excellent. The front desk staff (Martino and Alberto) were so gracious, helpful and friendly. They provided great restaurant recommendations, and arranged a guided tour to Siracusa with an excellent driver Fulvio. We also enjoyed meeting Giovanni, the hotel manager, who checked in with us several times during our visit. It’s a very special boutique hotel and we certainly hope to return one day!

Want to feel like royalty? Stay at the Seven Rooms Villadorata. We stayed in the Prince’s bedroom or Austro” room, a junior suite. Elegant and formal with a very large bathroom, sitting area and balcony overlooking some of the most beautiful architectural sites. This is a small and exclusive hotel, from the moment the large green wooden doors wing open to admit you and your vehicle to the large palm tree and cobbled courtyard (parking is included, which is a big perk where parking is generally quite difficult), to a very genteel and warm welcome at the front desk. The villa can be characterized as classically elegant with tasteful art and antiques displayed with a modern flair. The sitting room outside of our room was also beautifully decorated. Shades of pink and had a display of crowns -which I did try on for pictures! Breakfast is ordered the prior evening and wheeled into the room on an elegant cart. One may order as much as one likes with options for eggs, bacon, pastries, fruit, yogurt and coffee and more. We chose to have breakfast on the balcony Noto is small and laid out on a grid making it easily walkable from the hotel. Everything is close to the hotel including good restaurants, which the hotel is expert in with their recommendations. The beauty of Noto attracts a lot of tourists and there are many souvenir shops selling similar Sicilian items.
