Individual ratings for 7 Rooms Villadorata

Location

Amid the honey-coloured palaces and churches in the historic town centre of Noto, you will find the imposing "Palazzo Nicolaci di Villadorata." This luxurious B&B is housed in the former private residence of the last Prince Nicolaci.

Ambience

French interior design meets Sicilian Baroque. The fastidiously decorated rooms complement the princely palace from 1734 in equally imposing elegance and finesse. Each room is named after a figure from Greek mythology. The names refer to the direction which a given room faces, inspired by the winds that blow across Sicily.

Infrastructure

Living room; the breakfast is served in the private rooms of the hostess or on the rooftop patio; there is parking in the inner courtyard.

Culinary

Small breakfast buffet with regional produce and fresh brioche from the legendary pastry shop "Caffè Sicilia."

Rooms

All rooms were decorated in hues of white and grey in great style. They all have tall ceilings, heavy chandeliers, and modern bathrooms. Only a few come with balcony and frescos. Mineral water, soft drinks, and coffee (Nespresso coffee maker) are available at no extra charge in the kitchenette. You can book 6 of the seven rooms. The minimum stay is 2 nights.

Service

Christina Summa knows the true meaning of hospitality, as she and her team do everything to make their guests feel like personally invited guests.

7 Rooms Villadorata Hotel, Noto

South-eastern Sicily will tempt you with the Baroque cities of Modica, Ragusa Ibla, Noto, and Palazzolo. The most magnificent of these is Noto, locally also called a "garden of stone." The flowers of this petrified garden are the city's countless churches and honey-coloured palaces. Among the most impressive of the Baroque edifices is the "Palazzo Nicolaci di Villadorata" with its richly ornamented balconies. Behind its time-honoured walls, Christina Summa, a native of Torino, opened a discreet guest house in the French palais style on the second floor. Rare fabric, French wallpaper, heavy chandeliers, stacks of coffee-table books, and a pleasant scent of Dr. Vranjes opulent fragrances in the air complete the cosy arrangement. The only thing that tops the stylish interior is the rooftop patio. From here, a fantastic vista of the city's honey-coloured church cupolas and rooftops all the way down to the sea opens up. We believe this is the most beautiful breakfast terrace in Sicily. It is particularly suitable for romantics and guests who would normally stay at a 5-star hotel but feel like trying something different for once. So please do not expect a doorman at the entrance.

Price range
Tourists come from far away to visit Noto and view the late Baroque palace 'Nicolaci di Villadorata.' As a guest of the luxurious guest house '7 Rooms Villadorata' you actually get to stay at the palace, bedding down in style in the former private rooms of princely family Nicolaci.
Temperatures can get quite hot on Sicily. For a longer stay, it would be neat to have a garden and pool.
