This is an exceptional, elegant, quiet property in a perfect location right above the historic main street of beautiful Noto. Lovely staff. Very stylish decor. As travelers we did have several frustrations, however, in terms of the comforts one would expect in an upscale lodging such as this. Traveling is taxing, and one seeks comfort and convenient amenities. But as huge as our room was, with space to spare, there was no comfortable chair, no desk to put one's laptop on, no robes, no wastebasket in the bedroom, not enough shelving in the bathroom. I don't understand such minimalism when it comes to a hotel room that is supposed to provide comfortable rest. Also, we really wished that the breakfast had started at 8 instead of 8:30, in order to get a better start on one's day. The breakfast was quite special and delicious, with gracious service.
