This is an absolutely lovely little gem right in the centre of Noto. Nice building, well modernised but still with bags of character. After location, the best thing about the Porto Reale are the staff who are absolutely lovely, so friendly, welcoming and nothing is too much trouble.
Breakfast was really good and the rooftop bar is nice. We actually stayed in the apartment around the corner (dependence). The apartment is really well decorated and quite stylish, with some nice decorator touches, air conditioning and a nice big bed, and a full kitchen with an oven and a hob. The only suggestion we might make is that the kitchen could be kitted out a bit more for example some wine glasses and some basics like salt, pepper, oil. Although most people - us included - would be eating out in the plethora of great restaurants literally on your doorstep.
If arriving by car, do definitely read the arrival instructions properly (you literally drive through the arch and then restaurant is just 50m further, pull up in front and then they valet park) -don’t follow Google maps as we did as it took us on a ridiculous windy nearly impassable route in town!
Parking and driving around the area is a bit challenging but that is pretty standard in most town centres in the area. These challenges are more than made up for by how charming the area is. Definitely recommend.
