THREE STRENGTHS




A spectacular terrace This intimate yet convivial space in the sky of Noto offers a beautiful view of the rooftops and the Baroque horizon. Here, the light and warmth of the Sicilian sun become part of the furniture as much as vases of prickly pears and traditional ceramics.
A strategic location The eighteenth-century Chiesa del Santissimo Crocifisso [Church of the Holy Crucifix], which dominates the large Piazza Mazzini square, is the backdrop to the apartment's large balconies. We are in the heart of the town’s so-called Piano Alto [upper level], very close to the main street.
Complete comfort Attention to detail is the best gesture of hospitality that makes guests feel at ease. A charming apartment full of comforts, indoors and outdoors. Everything you need, with an elegant touch, is at your fingertips.

WHERE YOU WILL BE



Casa San Lio overlooks Piazza Mazzini square in Noto, where the main feature is the baroque Chiesa del Santissimo Crocifisso [Church of the Holy Crucifix]. We are in the heart of the highest area of Noto, in the historic district of "Piano Alto", characterised by period houses and alleys, with plenty of people out and about. It is well served: close to Casa San Lio are pharmacies, supermarkets and grocery stores, bars, restaurants, pizzerias and the Post Office.

The apartment is about 400 meters from the old town centre, a short and pleasant walk to discover the town’s characteristic streets and monuments.




GETTING AROUND



The town centre of Noto has been a recognised UNESCO “World Heritage Site” since 2002, along with the other late Baroque towns of the Val di Noto (south-east Sicily): Caltagirone, Militello Val di Catania, Catania, Modica, Palazzolo Acreide, Ragusa and Scicli. Together, they are an exceptional example of late Baroque art and architecture, representing the culmination and the last blossoming of the European Baroque period.

Casa San Lio is an excellent base from which to visit the eight towns, day after day, following tourist itineraries, food and wine tours and cultural events unlike any other in the world.

From the apartment, you can easily reach some of the most beautiful beaches in south-eastern Sicily and the Nature Reserves of Vendicari and Cavagrande.

In addition, in the territory of Noto there are many important areas of historical and archaeological interest, winding up to Castello Eurialo and the Archaeological Park of the Neapolis of Syracuse, less than an hour’s journey by car from Casa San Lio.
