With a charming courtyard and heavy wooden doors leading out into the heart of Noto, this traditional apartment is ideal for romantic weekends away, a solo jaunt through Sicily or even a work trip. The style here is rustic and homely, though it might not be for everyone. Still, the dining table doubles as a workspace but will also host candlelit dinners when you're not sampling the nearby restaurants. Taller guests might need to watch their heads on the sloping ceiling of the mezzanine bedroom but can stretch out when exploring the historic Noto, a stone's throw away, or on the sands of Lido di Noto.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*As there are stairs to climb here, it might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
*The kitchen is on the smaller side and will be best suited to light bites.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is minutes away.
