Hotel Q92 Noto

A stay at this intimate boutique hotel feels like residing in a private aristocratic home, with warm and friendly staff to attend to your every need. Sitting on the Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the Q92 also offers a fantastic location for exploring UNESCO-listed Noto, with views across the town’s cobbled streets to Noto’s Duomo, a baroque masterpiece. 

A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the interiors are an artful blend of historic grandeur, classical elegance, and contemporary design. The palette is based on traditional Roman favourites of grey, cream and oxblood and the main salone features deep red walls, cool blue drapes, a Venetian chandelier, sumptuous linen sofas, classical sculptures, and original artworks. Downstairs, the equally charming Botanical Room overlooks the courtyard garden and small pool. The staff are wonderful, creating a relaxed and convivial vibe and play the role of generous hosts with excellent concierge skills.

With just nine individually decorated rooms and suites, the hotel feels intimate and private. Resplendent with high ceilings adorned with frescoes, original stone walls, bespoke furniture, and furnishings, all the rooms reflect the building’s noble heritage. Spacious oak-panelled ensuite bathrooms feature luxurious towels, linens, hairdryers, robes, bespoke ETRO bath products and large walk-in showers. Amenities include climate control, Wi-Fi, Smart TV, tea and coffee making facilities and electronic safe. 

Some rooms have views of Noto Cathedral, while others have views of the garden and courtyard. Trade up to a Mini Suite for a private balcony or for a real taste of la dolce vita, book one of the three Master Suites, which feature original fresco ceilings, historic stone walls, and large furnished balconies for breakfasting, sipping a glass of wine or watching the world go by.

A delicious Sicilian breakfast is included in the room rate and can be enjoyed in one of the lounges, on the terrace overlooking the cathedral or in-room. While there is no onsite restaurant, drinks and snacks are served throughout the day. The pretty internal garden scented by fragrant lemon trees and jasmine, has a small plunge pool for cooling off and is a delightful spot for relaxation.
