Unveil the Beauty of Baroque Sicily at Villa Favorita

In the heart of Sicily’s Baroque splendor, Villa Favorita stands as a timeless sanctuary, where history and elegance intertwine. Built in 1752, this 18th-century gem, once the summer retreat of the noble Di Lorenzo family, offers an enchanting escape surrounded by fragrant citrus groves and almond trees. Perched on a gentle hill, the villa provides breathtaking views over the UNESCO-listed Val di Noto, a landscape that seems to dance in the golden light of the Mediterranean.

Villa Favorita invites guests to immerse themselves in the authentic spirit of Sicily. Stroll through the grand almond tree boulevard, savor the exquisite local cuisine crafted from the villa’s own produce, or simply relax by the pool with vistas of the Baroque city of Noto. The serene gardens, complete with a private chapel, create an atmosphere of tranquility and reflection.

Just minutes from Noto and the sparkling sea, Villa Favorita is the perfect base for exploring the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of southeastern Sicily. Here, every moment is an invitation to experience the essence of Sicilian charm and hospitality.

An absolute DREAM! We were surprised about how well kept the interior and gardens were of this historical place, dinner at the restaurant was amazing (and even very priceworthy) and probably the best breakfast I've had in italy. The pool and view are fantastic.A few minutes on the outskirts of Noto, the very attentive and friendly reception sends you a pdf of their favorite tips of the region. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back! Thank you very much to the whole team!

Fabulous hotel set in the lemon groves. Beautiful rooms and pool. Fantastic dinner in the evening, no need to go into Noto for dinner. Great value all round.

This hotel is amazing and a great place to stay just outside Noto in beautiful countryside. A renovated 18th century villa, the rooms are fully equipped with AC, great beds and bedding, and there is a gorgeous pool. The restaurant is excellent. We stayed two nights and wished we had stayed longer. There is also a fantastic natural reserve Vindicari just south. Highly recommended.

Great place and convinient location if you are with a rent-a-car. Food and wine were very good, excellent outside pool with a view to Noto. If you want to sleep in a old barons mansion with a lemon plantation this is the place to be. Breakfast was also good but I would suggest to add a little bit more vegetables and fruits to make it great.

The hotel offered exactly what we needed - a mix of tranquility, style, hospitality and amazing food. And then it exceeded our expectations in the attention to detail and kindness of the staff, going out of their way to make us feel comfortable.Our first impression was when we arrived at the hotel at 11 pm, tired from the traveling, the cook was next to the receptionist and his first words were "Oh, have you eaten?" :)The next day I was not feeling well and a lady from the staff was extremely helpful, making sure for the next few days that I really am better.We can warmly recommend visiting!
