So, we just need to take a moment to talk about the fabulousness of this Airbnb! A perfectly wonderful combination of traditional Sicilian stone dwelling and East London loft, the aesthetic won't suit everyone but its clear that the hosts have done a fantastic job of restoring and outfitting this beautiful place. Would very much suit a couple who enjoy the finer things in life, especially if travelling Sicily by car given there’s free parking outside.

Capacity | One bedroom, four guests

Price | £110 per night for two people

To check price and availability, click here.


Perfect for families that need lots of space (seriously, this Airbnb is huge!), it has two bedrooms - with the potential to convert a ‘snug’ into a third bedroom - full fitted kitchen/diner as well as a second smaller kitchen and dining space outside, and two terraces. It has a great location in a quieter part of the town but still in easy walking distance of all of Noto’s main attractions.

Capacity | Two bedrooms, six guests

Price | From £87 per night for two guests

If you prefer traditional over the more modern aesthetic that many Airbnbs adopt, you should definitely take a look at this one. The two apartments that can be rented separately or together (each with one double bedroom), this tastefully refurbished early 19th century building in the heart of Noto is filled with traditional design features, from the antique furniture, to the beautiful original tile floors and high ceilings. Also has small terrace with impressive views.

Alternative / If you’re planning a trip to Sicily on a bit of a budget, the good news is that there are plenty of options in Noto starting and less than £50 a night. If the above isn’t available, take a look at Casa vacanze Ducezio, Red Door Lodge, C'eravamo tanto amati, Town View One & Casa Elia


A large, super modern apartment that has recently been renovated. Very clean, bright and airy space with a neutral colour palette and not one but three balconies from which to enjoy the view. Also comes with free on-street parking, which is quite a rarity in the historic centre.

Capacity | Two bedrooms, four guests

Price | From £60 per night for two people

Alternative / If free parking sounds like an excellent or necessary plus, check out this Airbnb too. It could do with a little modernisation, but it’s also very well priced for its location and has excellent reviews.


An elegant apartment in the heart of the historic centre, this large two bedroom Noto Airbnb is set across two floors of a traditional Sicilian town house.

A great size Airbnb in a refurbished old Sicilian town house. Fully-equipped kitchen, open plan dining area, two bedrooms (one with double, one twin - so good for families with older children) and - the literal high point - the large roof terrace. Previous guests speak of how amazing the host is and the great location, as well as the specialist bakery downstairs!

Price | From £54 per night for two people.

Located in the historic centre just three minutes walk from the cathedral, Al Cortile dei Gesuiti is an excellent option for those looking for a central base for exploring Noto. Although it claims to fit five people, given it’s not huge, we think it would best suit a couple.

Capacity | Two bedrooms, five guests

Price | From £52 per night for two people

To check price and availability, click here.


A perfect bolthole in the centre of Noto, for a couple who want a good value, clean and modern place to lay their heads. The kitchen is perfectly functional for breakfasts etc but would suit those than plan on eating out for the majority of their evening meals.

Capacity | One bedroom, three guests

Price | £46 per night for two people.

Alternatively, check out La Casetta, Casa Vacanze Taranto or Casa Vacanze Andromaca. All are at a similar price point to the above, are centrally located and offer the perfect set up for a couple.


This is where we stayed in the historic centre of Noto, drawn in by the amazing host reviews and the excellent value offered. And we were not disappointed! Honestly, they went above and beyond, providing a fully (and we mean fully) stocked fridge of food. The apartment itself was comfortable, large, with all modern amenities we needed.

It also had free parking less than a minute walk from the front door which is ideal if you’re on a road trip.

Capacity | One bedroom, four guests

Price | From £46 per night for two people

A perfectly serviceable town house with a large kitchen around a 10 minute walk to the cathedral, but the reason this particular Airbnb is on the list is its a large terrace - definitely not what you’d expect for less than £50 a night! The house has hosted guests for several years now, and has accrued many really excellent reviews.

Capacity | Two bedrooms, four guests

Price | From £46 a night for two people

We did actually find one other place with a large roof terrace for a similar price point - Mare & Barocco - so if this is something that you’d love, we’d recommend taking a look at that one too.


We generally try and avoid recommending Airbnbs that have no (or only a couple of reviews), simply because we can’t be 100% certain that they’re as great as they look. However, when we were putting together this guide, we noted that many new Airbnbs have appeared on the market in Noto over the last couple of months so didn’t want to entirely discount them - for a start, several are stunning!

If you’re happy to take a risk (and often this means staying somewhere that is priced well below standard market levels so they can gain reviews and ratings), we’d recommend checking out these Airbnbs:

Residenza Antica Sicilia | La Casa Degli Ebani 2 | Terrazza di Erika | Terrazza sul Vico | Casa Milvus | Boutique Vert | La Casa que Sale


Currently Unavailable

The following Airbnbs are currently unavailable.
