Mr & MRS Smith Seven Rooms Villadorata

Was absolutely thrilled with my stay here. It’s a beautiful old palazzo right in a perfect location in the historic centre of Noto. The staff was excellent and very helpful and all very pleasant to deal with. They make sure your stay is perfect. And I love old fashioned door keys to get in!

We stayed here for our honeymoon recently- the building itself is absolutely gorgeous with jasmine blooming along the walls and along the balconies. The room was exquisite, beautiful art, tiles, architecture and sculptures. The best things about our stay was the exceptional service we received from every staff member we interacted with. They helped us with reservations, where to go, scheduling transfers to and from Ragusa at the last minute, and they even arranged for cafe Sicilia brioche to be delivered to our room the night before we left since we were leaving before breakfast service started. We will certainly return in the future! We loved everything about Noto, but our hotel was definitely a highlight.

Want to feel like royalty? Stay at the Seven Rooms Villadorata. We stayed in the Prince’s bedroom or Austro” room, a junior suite. Elegant and formal with a very large bathroom, sitting area and balcony overlooking some of the most beautiful architectural sites. This is a small and exclusive hotel, from the moment the large green wooden doors wing open to admit you and your vehicle to the large palm tree and cobbled courtyard (parking is included, which is a big perk where parking is generally quite difficult), to a very genteel and warm welcome at the front desk. The villa can be characterized as classically elegant with tasteful art and antiques displayed with a modern flair. The sitting room outside of our room was also beautifully decorated. Shades of pink and had a display of crowns -which I did try on for pictures! Breakfast is ordered the prior evening and wheeled into the room on an elegant cart. One may order as much as one likes with options for eggs, bacon, pastries, fruit, yogurt and coffee and more. We chose to have breakfast on the balcony Noto is small and laid out on a grid making it easily walkable from the hotel. Everything is close to the hotel including good restaurants, which the hotel is expert in with their recommendations. The beauty of Noto attracts a lot of tourists and there are many souvenir shops selling similar Sicilian items.

This is an outstanding hotel from every assessment that can be made. First, the service starts LONG before you arrive as people like Martina; Alberto; Sarah get back to you with answers to any questions you may have and any extras you may need. Upon arrival which is so cool in and of itself (you drive to a relatively small green gate door; announce yourself and they buzz you into a lovely courtyard where you can park your car the whole stay and come and go). We were then welcomed by Giovanni a seasoned director who runs the hotel and does so with a lot of grace. He is a professional as well in very sense. The ROOMS are something to experience; as beautiful and as large as anywhere you will ever stay. Our room had a terrace that opened up onto the spectacular view of NOTO and the courtyards that surround it. I spent as much time as I could on the outdoor terrace as I could. The restaurant in the hotel is also superb. Great food/great wine list/ great experience. This review would not be complete without a heartfelt thank you again to all. My wife who does have a chronic illness that can flare up badly without a lot of advance warning experienced such an event our first night there. She was in horrible pain and had to stay in bed entire next day and night until we coudl catch a flight back to Rome and then home to Chicago. Sarah was as compassionate as she was helpful as was Martina. Giovanni stepped in to make sure we had anything we needed to temper the flare. Hot pad/dinner sent to the room/accomodated our early check out with a voucher to return next year (which we will) and arranged for our rental car to be picked up at hotel and a car to take us to airport. OUTSTANDING effort in a time of need. Won't ever be forgotten. Many continued thanks.

Amazing hotel! Very beautiful interiors, a real hidden gem! Staff are exceptional - the best service we have ever seen with an incredible amount of care and attention to detail! The breakfasts are amazing! Could not recommend this place enough!

Phantastic place, decorated with love and dedication Very dedicated staff - you just ask and they will help you Every tip and recommendation turned out to be a wonderful experience We enjoyed every minute of our stay This was our second stay - it will not be our last

Being in this hotel was a very nice experience, is like staying in an apartment in an old castle, the service is very good, but the best part is its Manger Mr. Reale, he is very kind and gives you the best advices. We enjoyed very much Noto is a beautiful small city.
