Fodors review:

“For an unbeatable location only a block from the main pedestrian street, visitors to Noto can’t do better than this hotel with an industrial vibe and spacious minimalist rooms accented with chandeliers—all inside a former 18th-century palace. Noto’s many restaurants and sights are just a few minutes away.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Located in the beautiful city of Noto, a UNESCO world heritage site, one can find the Gagliardi Boutique Hotel nestled within an exquisite 19th-century mansion that boasts a breathtaking rooftop terrace.

Nestled on Sicily’s eastern shoreline, this boutique hotel serves as an appealing oasis for explorers seeking to unearth the city’s historical treasures which include the Palazzo Ducezio municipal building and the nearby Porta Reale o Ferdinandea.

The hotel radiates the allure of Italy through its compact size and sophisticated subtleties. The guest rooms are generously proportioned, furnished with large king-size beds and vintage decor.

The accommodation options range from snug Classic and Superior rooms to more expansive suites, featuring private outdoor spaces and breathtaking vistas of the San Nicolò Cathedral. The walls are adorned with exquisite handcrafted pieces and artwork, and with a limited availability of only six rooms, guests are guaranteed an individualized service throughout their visit.

Those staying at the hotel can appreciate its delightful amenities, such as savoring light snacks and coffee at Café Giardino, or unwinding with beverages at the Winter Gallery Bar. Nonetheless, the true highlight of the hotel is its rooftop terrace.

This vantage point offers guests sweeping views over the city. On a day with good visibility, one can also admire the shoreline and appreciate the stunning panoramas.

Great location in the middle of the action.

Good breakfast with made to order eggs. Excellent location and was able to find free street parking close by. Lots of good restaurants and cafes within 5 minute walk. Missed out on rooftop lounge as weather wasn’t great both afternoons that we were in town.

Bathroom was tight but functional.

Comfortable, friendly staff

Great team of staff, no tea or coffee facilities in our room but asked at reception and they happily made us a fresh pot of tea or coffee whenever we asked. Lovely decor throughout the hotel, unfortunately as out of season when we stayed there so very quiet, bar on rooftop terrace and seating closed. Great location, comfortable stay would recommend it as a base in Noto.

Priceless location and thoughtful staff.

Perfect def of a boutique hotel and the best location in this quintessential old world

Breakfast was quite basic compare to the price of stay. There are so many cafe’s open in the morning so it would be okay to book without breakfast options. No turn around service in the evening so we had to make our bed.

Absolutely stunning!

Absolutely everything was beyond expectations! Maria, Helena, Diana and every single member of staff looked after us so well and were so helpful and friendly. When we arrived we were offered an upgrade to the best room in the hotel with nothing extra to pay. It was our wedding anniversary the day before we arrived so it was a delightful surprise. We were given welcome drinks while all our bags were magically taken to our exceptional suite. The hotel is elegant, with generous proportions throughout, and wonderful touches everywhere. The breakfast was standout. Our only disappointment was that we had booked only one night. Absolutely stunning!

Nothing whatsoever.

Beyond my expectations

My experience at the Gagliardi Hotel has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the hotel's perfect central location in Noto. This strategic positioning means that every restaurant and attraction is within a five-minute walk, eliminating any need for taxis or transportation – a convenience that enhanced my entire stay. I had the pleasure of staying in a junior suite, and it exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail in the design and decor was remarkable, creating a space that perfectly balanced luxury with comfort. The aesthetic was beautifully curated, and the spaciousness of the suite made it feel like a true retreat. The breakfast service deserves special mention, offering a fantastic start to each day with its exceptional quality and variety. However, what truly sets the Gagliardi Hotel apart is its outstanding staff member Marco. In my experience, customer service remains the cornerstone of any exceptional hotel stay, and Marco exemplifies this perfectly. His dedication to ensuring guests have the best possible experience is remarkable. Whether I needed assistance with restaurant bookings, local recommendations, or transportation arrangements, Marco was consistently helpful, kind, and supremely attentive. His genuine warmth and willingness to go above and beyond made my stay truly memorable. The Gagliardi Hotel has mastered every aspect of hospitality – from its prime location and beautiful accommodations to its impeccable service. This establishment has earned my highest recommendation, and I leave with nothing but fond memories of my time here. For anyone seeking a premium hotel experience in Noto, the Gagliardi Hotel is a great choice.

Amazing palazzo in central Noto! They upgraded us because a better room was free! Staff super lovely. Breakfast an experience. Lovely rooftop with privileged view! Lovely stay overall!

We were advised we didn’t need to pre book parking but the parking was full and parking options are very limited in the area. Be aware.

Truly a boutique hotel - awesome staff - great location - wonderful rooftop bar

Location plus. Parking was easy. Really beautiful property. The roof top bar has a superb view. EXCELLENT staff. They went out of their way to get us a great dinner reservation. As we left very early, before breakfast, they arranged a pre-packed breakfast for us.

Rooftop bar has an excellent view - stunning. Drinks were a little pricey, but not an issue. I'd still definitely go back and enjoy a sunset cocktail with views over town and to the coast.

Great location and friendly staff

Lovely breakfast, wish we had known that you could order cooked food too, this wasn’t obvious to us, but the cold choices were great. Lots of variety, sweet and savoury. Location brilliant. I would say two or three days in Noto is more than enough unless you have a car. Terrace was stunning especially at night

It’s a beautiful property right in the middle of Noto. Breakfasts are in a lovely courtyard at the rear, under orange trees, and are the most amazing selection of home made pastries I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend staying here, it’s reasonably priced and the staff are amazing

A well-located beautiful old-style hotel oozing with Italian charm.

Marco - who welcomed us was a dream! He upgraded our room and made us espresso when he saw how weary we were! The room was beautiful, the location of the hotel, perfect. They also have a superb roof terrace with an amazing bar open from May.

It can be tricky to park close by as the property is in the old town. There is no parking on the property. No kettle in the room.

Wonderfull, atmospheric hotel with great staff and ideal location.

Reception staff were particularly attentive and helpful. Delicious breakfast Location in central Noto could not have been better. The hotel also had a spectacular roof terrace bar with wonderful city views.

Our room was on the ground floor with just one window facing the street and passers-by could look into the room. A screen was placed at the window to give some privacy but inevitably it partially blocked the window and light.
