Il San Corrado di Noto

The owner is gracious and welcoming host. The hotel is an oasis of beauty and tranquility. Gorgeous pool-side rooms and suites. Excellent food. A most wonderful break from hotels in the middle of town. We have traveled in Europe many times; this place is special.

This was our first trip to Sicily and we stayed at 5-Star hotels, in Palermo for three nights, Noto, three (at Il SanCorrado di Noto) and Taromima, four in that order. While we were advised that Taromima would be the standout, it paled in comparison to our stay in Noto. Rita and her team including reception, dining, housekeeping and Spa were exceptional. The hotel architecture is stunning with beautifully renovated rooms, and baths with his and her sinks and dressing areas. We are bankers who travel globally and agree, this place was really special and unlike anything we have ever experienced given the serenity, combined with fine dining and immaculate accommodations including tremendous attention to detail. You will feel like you have the place to yourself no matter where you are on the property, including the beach club, unlike our stays in Palermo and Taromima. We dined at the hotel restaurants including Casa Pasta and Principe di Belludia; both not to be missed. Try the table side tiramisu at the former and do the 7-course tasting menu with wine pairing at the latter. We enjoyed every second, including the creative and delicious gastronomic experience, along with servers who made the night truly magical. The Spa is equally wonderful; with a deep tissue massage that was amazing and half the price versus the other two hotels. Rita walks the grounds and made herself available with warm hospitality; another point of differentiation versus the other two hotels. She even went so far as to call the manager at our hotel in Taromima to inform him of our arrival. We almost changed our plans to return to home, just to return to Il SanCorrado for a few more days! A hearty and sincere thanks again to Rita and team!

This is deserving of 10 stars. World class hospitality from every staff member. The property is beautiful and both restaurants are excellent. Not a single detail was overlooked. This is truly a special place. The private beach club is also spectacular. We had the best time and will be coming back!

This is the most relaxing peaceful spot we have ever chosen. It feels as if you are the only guests on the property no matter how "full" it is. Breakfast is the only time you really see the other guests. The birds seem to be the only other living creatures around. The biggest caveat to San Corrado is we never want to leave. We sleep late, go for a totally solitary swim, get room service from the most wonderful breakfast manager, Giorgio. His smile begins our day. We move on to lunch at Casa Pasta, where Mattia, the manager welcomes us with a gorgeous smile and fabulous suggestions for our lunch. Casa Pasta is enclosed in solid glass partitions so as not to block the gorgeous view. The Principe restaurant is the fine dining restaurant and is sure to be on the Michelin list soon. The head chef Martin is a 29 year old creative who turns sicilian cuisine into works of art. Bennito runs the wine cellar and does an excellent job with the list. He is so helpful and kind. The passion for their jobs is shown through their smiles and patience. They have a way of making you feel as if your are part of their family. We have stayed in many properties throughout Sicily and this has become our go to spot. We recharge our batteries and fall in love again. It keeps calling to us even after we have left. I must go so I can book our stay for next summer.

Stylish and elegant hotel. Amazing facilities for the 30 approx rooms. The green pool was stunning and particularly recommend the Principe Di Belludia restaurant. Probably the best meal we have ever had. Gorgeous place. We hope to return.

Stunning property near Noto in Sicily. Service was very good, attentive and the rooms are amazing. Where else can you find a 100m lap pool?!
