An excellent experience - Enrica was my wife and I's guide for our recent visit to Noto. We enjoyed it so much that we booked a guided tour of Ortigia, a few days later. In addition to the expertise, the vast culture and, it also takes that, the sympathy, we appreciated the passion with which Enrica carries out her work. We are grateful for enriching our knowledge of the beautiful Sicilian Baroque territory.

I should keep it a secret. - We love Noto. This was our second visit however this time we went for the Christmas holidays. The weather was temperate and comfortable and the tourists were at a minimum. Good for us! It is such a charming and manageable town. We elected to stay right in town to minimize car travel and that was the best decision. Great restaurants and of course, Cafe Sicilia for almond granita. Easy side trips to Siracusa, Modica and Ragusa too.
