Ostello della Gioventu Il Castello

In the heart of Noto’s baroque center, tucked into a restored castle and a short walk from the Cathedral of Noto and San Salvatore Basilica. Steps from Palazzo Landolina and Villadorata Palace, this central youth hostel is a family-friendly base for exploring Noto’s landmarks.

Set inside Castello Bornonico, the hostel blends golden stone solarium terraces with simple, modern rooms. Accommodation ranges from family and double rooms to bunk-bed multi-rooms; all rooms include private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads, flat-screen TVs, fans and complimentary toiletries. Daily housekeeping, private check-in/out and staff who speak Italian and English keep stays smooth.

Enjoy a sun-soaked natural solarium on Noto’s golden stone, an on-site bar and a communal barbecue area. Complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning (8:30–9:30). Practical extras include free nearby parking, laundry, ironing and transfer booking services — smoke-free property.

Start the day with the included continental breakfast. Sip a drink at the hostel bar or grill at the shared barbecue, then wander the nearby streets to sample local Sicilian cafés and trattorie.
