3-star Boutique Hotel in a Restored 18th-Century Baroque Villa Surrounded by Citrus Groves in Noto
Amenities & Grounds
Hotel Villa Favorita is set within an organic orchard and gardens filled with ancient palms, offering a private chapel and a shared lounge with TV area. The swimming pool is lined with almond trees, has a pool bar, and features a shallow end with sun loungers and umbrellas. Guests have access to a solarium, an open-air bath, and a small outdoor gym with limited equipment, plus bicycle rental and organised cooking classes.
Rooms & Accommodations
The hotel has 20 rooms, each with air conditioning, heating, satellite TV, and a private bathroom. Rooms are housed within the converted 18th-century villa and outbuildings, with some offering balconies or terraces overlooking the pool or garden. Certain rooms retain historic features such as authentic decor and, in the case of room 505, a former stable setting.
Dining
The on-site restaurant specialises in local Sicilian cuisine, serving dinner in a courtyard terrace setting with views of the garden. A buffet breakfast is offered each morning, including homemade baked goods, cold cuts, cheeses, and a selection of fruits. The bar serves wine and champagne, and guests can take their meals poolside with local dishes available from the snack bar.
Location & Surroundings
The hotel is located in the Contrada Falconara area, roughly a 10-minute drive from the centre of Noto, the capital of Baroque Sicily and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Beaches along the coast are within a 10-minute drive, and the Vendicari Natural Reserve is close by for nature walks. Free on-site parking is available, and the hotel can arrange taxi service or coordinate with the local bus line to stop at the hotel entrance.
