Il San Corrado di Noto

If you’re on a honeymoon and don’t plan on leaving this location then this is a possibility. Everybody else, this is NOT the place to stay.Let’s start with location. It’s in the middle of nowhere. Noto is a quiet town 15 minutes away. If you can’t grab the free shuttle service then you need to reserve a taxi. The taxi is 160 euro round trip. Anyone who claims inflation has subsided is out of there mind. This is absolutely absurd and one reason NOT to visit this resort.Noto has 1 main street and that’s it. If you want to see Taormina or Siracusa then the hotel can arrange a car service for 600 euro for the day. It takes 1:45 hours to get to Taormina- too far. By the end of the day, your exhausted.Siracusa or Ortigia is worth going to and only 30+ minutes away. Much more doable. So location is a 1 star.Service was spotty. The worse was in their fine dining. We did the 7 course chef tasting. It was disastrous, and had 3 courses in 3 hours. Could not wait any longer and had to abruptly leave. The servers never came over to explain the issue. I had to inquire what was going on. The excuse was somebody ordered gluten free pasta and backed up the entire kitchen. If that’s the case then tell me. Diffuse the situation before it gets out of control.Anyways, the food was mediocre and considered Michelin Star worthy? One female server had a horrible unfriendly face before the problem in the kitchen. The experience almost ruined our trip. When you potentially spend 1000+ euro dinner it better be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT- SERVICE OVER THE TOP AND FOOD EXTRAORDINARY. The server did credit the 3 courses and had us only pay for the drinks. However, the restaurant should have compensated us for the entire meal which is the right thing to do. I suggested that to concierge but they did nothing.I will say the causal restaurant was excellent. The food was delicious and service was friendly and attentive. It was so good that I had to bump the service rating to 3-star. 1 star for fine dining and 5 star for casual gets you average of 3 star.Rooms were modern and clean. Plenty of space in the suite so no complaints here. We also had a swimming pool which was really enjoyable. Used it everyday.Overall, again I would NOT recommend this place if you want to explore Sicily beyond Noto. If you want to stay at the resort and do nothing then by all means stay here.

Location che deriva da un vecchio convento, il personale è tutto molto gentile a parte il proprietario, scorbutico e antipatico, dovrebbe lasciare fare ai suoi dipendenti invece di mettersi sempre in mezzo.Se amate la quiete e la calma assoluta, è il vostro posto"; intorno c'è il nulla assoluto.Suite e ville compongono il resort

The time spent at Il San Corrado di Noto was really wonderful. The main building was an ancient monastery which has been turned into a Resort.All the spaces of the hotel and the interiors of the rooms are well distributed. The common spaces have been designed in a way that you will never see or meet too many guests at the same time. The quiet atmosphere definitely is what impressed me the most, apart from the excellent service, from the reception to the restaurants to the cleaning ladies.The swimming pools are masterpieces: the green one has the pavement made of marble from Nicaragua, the blue one (100 meters long) is perfect for swimming. Water is not warmed up but if the air temperature is more than 25 degrees then you won't have any problem to swim, after the first 20 seconds your body will get used to the water and you will forget that water is not warmed up.The resort has also some villas not far from the main building, with small private swimming pools.There is a library with a pool, books and board games.Wifi is working very well. If you want to use the regular data connection of your phone, be aware of the fact that signal is not very strong and stable: in any case phone calls from the stationery phone of your room are for free.There is a small boutique with nice clothes and jewelry: a bit pricey but with high quality.Food at the restaurant was superbe (I only tried the restaurant by the swimming pool and not the gourmet one), they also have pizza.The private beach is 15 min by car. There is a private parking right in front of the beach and the hotel is also offering a free transfer upon request for those who don't have the car.Breakfast is excellent and the staff is very careful about any single request the guest might have.After the pandemic many 5 stars hotel struggled to offer a high quality service again, but at Il San Corrado they are definitely exceeding their guests expectations.The GSM signal for mobile phones is not so strong, the WiFi network is working perfectly.PS. Allow me to reply to those who complain about the location in the middle of nowhere or about the prices of transfers to Noto: when you plan a vacation and choose an accommodation it's enough to open a map and check where the hotel is located to see if it matches what you're looking for. If you don't want to pay for transfers you can just rent a car at the airport of Catania, saving a lot of money.

This place is brilliant. Beautifully done, wonderfully peaceful and serene. So much space and despite not being a tiny hotel, always feels empty. The 100m pool is great if you enjoy lap swimming, and the other hotel pool was almost always empty. The tennis court was a great addition to the offeringFood was also very good, albeit expensive for Sicily. Perhaps that is the only downside here, the price of all the food and drinks starts to get a bit tiring after a day or two, however is also to be expected in a hotel of this price. Anyway, we had a fabulous stay and will be back.

The highest degree of design and immense attention to detail make il san corrado di noto a masterpiece without (much) comparison in the world. A true 7 star hotel. Pinnacle of luxury. With two breathtaking pools and hammam for relaxation, one of the best fine dining restaurants in Sicily on property, a perfect turf tennis court overlooking the olive fields, and unparalleled service. Simply stunning.

Stupendo Resort. Siamo stati bene. Piscine bellissime e massimo relax. La struttura e la nostra camera era molto pulita. Lo staff cordiale e disponibile. Molto carino anche il Beach Club a 20 minuti dal Resort e raggiungibile tramite navetta. Ci torneremo sicuramente.

Il lusso che non ti aspetti a Noto.Un resort di lusso membro della catena Relais & Chateux immerso nelle campagne della Val di Noto ad una decina di km dalla cittadina barocca.L'aspetto è quello di una antica fazenda, un tempo proprietà del principe Nicolaci, finemente ristrutturata con uno stile minimalista che comunque esalta la tradizione siciliana.Bella la terrazza sulla vallata, spettacolari le due piscine a due passi dalle suites (di cui due con piscina privata).La Green Pool, grande, proprio nei pressi del Pool Bar e la particolarissima One Hundred Pool...26 suites e 8 ville (tutte con piscina privata).Ampi spazi, silenzio e privacy.

Se dalle foto il posto vi sembra meraviglioso….non avete idea di cosa vi aspetterà una volta arrivati perché…è molto di più! Camere enormi e curate, spazi comuni splendidi, cortesia e disponibilità del personale rare. Dalla colazione alla cena: tutto di alta qualità! Mai una disattenzione, livello di pulizia di stanze e spazi comuni maniacale. Forniture in camera (dai sali per la vasca da bagno, alla borsa e cappello da spiaggia, passando per la schiuma da barba) rivelano un’attenzione, una ricerca e una cura rari in Italia.Il beach club a servizio dell’hotel e incluso nella camera ha anch’esso un servizio di livello eccellente, grandi lettini, una spiaggia meravigliosa e il parcheggio (o eventuale navetta) per gli ospiti.In Italia ad oggi non credo ci siano strutture paragonabili ed è, con distacco, la più bella struttura Relais&Chateau in cui ho soggiornato. Auguro al San Corrado di noto uno splendido futuro, se lo merita.

The most beautifull hotel in Sicily with a great team and fabulous rooms and Swimming pools.

Not only is this hotel brand new and has state of the art amenities, the staff and management go out of the way to make sure you have a perfect stay.I highly recommend staying at Il San Corrado de Noto which also has the worlds longest meter pool for laps, a huge, gorgeous pool at the center of the resort, and beautiful land to enjoy morning/evening walks. It is also conveniently located near many seaside wineries as well as the Nero D’Avola region. We will definitely back to this world class luxury hotel.Book confidently knowing no details will be missed!
