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.

Do not go there on a Saturday night. Very loud music outside most rooms from a pub that blasts music at crazy volume until 2am. They put ear plugs next to the bed. There is no-one attending. DO NOT STAY HERE unless you plan to go to bed after 2am or a drunk

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.

We stayed 2 nights, The first night the air conditioning rattled all night. they fixed that. The second night there was a wedding party outside in the courtyard directly outside our room . It started at approximately 730 pm. I asked how long this was going to last and was told the latest would be midnight. The staff leaves and goes to their quiet homes. Nobody to help stays at the hotel. The music blasted until 2 am. I phoned the police and they did not understand English. I was told the next morning these parties happen at least twice a month. If that is what they admit to I imagine it is more often that that. The property took zero responsibility for our complete lack of sleep saying it is not their fault . The least they could do is tell you the truth and suggest not to stay there. I told the hotel I refused to pay but they said too bad as we had prepaid! I can honestly say this is the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. If you want to sleep DO NOT stay here.
