Beautiful property and very Sicilian. Highly recommend it if you have a car. Noto and the beach are close but you need a car. Restaurant on site was very good with reasonable priced offerings.
Lovely hotel, reception staff very pleasant and excellent English spoken, other staff less fluent. Pool vast and lovely. Our main issue was poor/non-existent Wi-fi.
Villa Favorita Relais has been a really amazing experience during our travels in Sicily. We felt the history of the building and it was great to stay a few days in the countryside surrounded by olive and lemon trees. The breakfast is amazing and we advise to have a meal here (we had dinner one night) as the food is really good, cooked with fresh organic ingredients. The use of the swimming pool is a bonus and is very refreshing to be able to chill by it after so much exploring. The area offers so many lovely destinations to visit a few miles away, from the towns to the beaches. The staff working at the Villa is very professional and everybody works really hard to keep the level of service offered at a very high standard. This place has been a real taste of Sicily! We do recommend it to anyone.

Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed your stay here. Hope to see you again one day!
This is a wonderful hotel for families. The pool is lovely, and the staff were very welcoming and informative. Unfortunately for the hotel being a 4 star hotel we did not understand why towels couldn't be changed and if you requested for extra towels or new towels we would be charged a fee. We had to air dry our towel on a clothing line. There were a few things that I can not classify this as a true 4star hotel but staff made up for it.

Dear guest,
we are happy you enjoyed, the staff, the pool and the villa. We try to do our best to preserved the planet so we ask a little fee (2€) to change the pool towels (that we used to give for free) in order to avoid guests from leaving towels all over the property to just pick a new one every day.
All the other towels (in the bathroom) can be change even everyday with no additional fee. There is in every bathroom a card that explain our philosophy about environmental awareness.and what to do when you want to change towels. The staff was at your disposal to explain our polices. Hope to see you again.

Not a 4 star hotel
Very outdated bathroom, uncomfortable bed and pillows, not a 4 star hotel
It's a lovely hotel very close to noto. You will definitely need a car. Views are amazing and the swimming pool is to die for. Cons are rooms need major update. Mattress is terrible. Breskfast is so bad. We went to eat at 9 am and most of the dishes were empty. Artificial fruit juices. Horrible jam. It's not cheap so they can at least make a decent breakfast. They served Lipton tea ewwwwww.

A little too modern but great quiet location
This was the only hotel we stayed in that seemed a little too cold/industrial definitely not a converted palazzo. Did have a great view and okay breakfast and parking was easy once we figured out how to find the hotel. Staff was helpful and location was great. Just walk up and you will find everything!

Old Villa
I understand this an old villa but I don't agree with the four star rating. The dinner was only average as was the buffet breakfast. The pictures look better on the website than in real life.
This hotel must be run by accountants!
The staff were friendly but their rules were difficult to deal with:
Restaurant closed in March (not expected).
The shower flooded the bathroom.
The breakfast food was recycled each day - we had the same cake for 3 days.
The buildings and decoration are outstanding; it is a gem but the fittings (like the shower) are shoddy. The TVs are 1980s vintage and no English stations; the WiFi is not available in the bedrooms and is charged for by the quarter hour....and the location map on Hotels.com is inaccurate and takes you to some really seedy locations before you find it.
Great place, lost opportunity.

Tolle Lage, sehr schönes Hotel, leckeres Frühstück mit lokalen Produkten, sehr nettes Personal
Lovely location, plenty of character. We arrived late from the airport and they opened the kitchen to make us a mozzarella pomodoro, so nice! Very friendly staff and great breakfast. The only thing that could make our stay even more perfect would be better beds/pillows otherwise we had a wonderful couple of days. Lovely pool area.
Dimora di fine settecento splendidamente ristrutturata e arredata mantenendo elementi e atmosfera dell’epoca. Camere e bagno spaziosi e arredati con gusto. Colazione eccellente con prodotti locali. Personale cortese e sempre attento ad ogni esigenza degli ospiti. Super consigliato per visitare la zona di Noto.

Struttura ex residenza nobiliare ristrutturata e ben tenuta ancora con amore dai proprietari che la curano e investono su di essa, mantenendola pulita ed efficiente. Camera superior al piano nobile, pulita con pavimento in mattonelle e bagno rinnovato anche se non proprio da 1 anno, come dichiarato. Buona la colazione, ottima la torta alla ricotta. Bellissimi e curati gli spazi comuni all'esterno, compresa la zona piscina. Attento il servizio anche e soprattutto da parte dei proprietari che ci tengono e sono molto gentili e cordiali, prontissimi a qualsiasi necessità. Nel complesso ottima esperienza da ripetere. Posizione ottimale se dotati di mezzo proprio per visitare Noto e per la spiaggia

Magnifique lieu dans un bel environnement calme. Piscine superbe , petit dejeuner parfait et personnel charmant. Un lieu plein d 'histoire et de charme .
너무나 아름답고 조용한 호텔입니다
우리는 예약한 방보다 더 좋은방을 배정받았습니다 따로된 건물에 있는 우리의 방은
그경치가 말로 다 할수없을만큼 아름다웠습니다 바쁘게 다니다가 평안한 휴식을 취할수 있었습니다 수영장에서 보는 노토의 경치는 환상적입니다 직원분께 감사드립니다
Fuldstændig fantastisk sted, smukt, behjælpelig personale, som er opmærksomme. Tæt på motorvej, så det er et godt sted at bo, hvis du vil se dette hjørne af Sicilien.
Restaurant var god og på niveau med tætteste by Noto, som også er meget hyggelig, med oplevelser og gode spisesteder.
Excellent séjour dans cet hôtel. Un véritable havre de paix... nous avons particulièrement apprécié la surprise d’anniversaire faite à mon ami... Effectivement, sans que nous disions quoi que ce soit, et probablement grâce a son passeport, un présent nous attendait dans notre chambre avec une petite carte d’anniversaire !! Merveilleux séjour tout près de Noto (charmante ville)

Le restaurant est également bon et les prix sont très corrects. Un verre de prosecco offert en bienvenu.
Mobilier désué qui conviendrait de changer. Très bonne literie. Salle de bains spacieuse.
Il manque une bouilloire dans la chambre pour pouvoir prendre une boisson chaude. Les extérieurs sont magnifiques (jardins et piscine).
