We Love
- The Infiorata view — each May the flower-petal carpet is laid down the street beneath the windows, and this is the only hotel whose balconies look straight onto it.
- The address — a 1696 palazzo on Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Noto's Baroque spine, many rooms facing the honey-stone Cathedral across the street.
- The Quartucci family's welcome — a small house run in person, guests treated as friends, the family's own Noto recommendations handed over at the desk.
- The garden terrace — lemon trees and a small plunge pool tucked behind the palazzo, a quiet counterpoint to the Corso out front.
- The intimate scale — ten rooms only, some over the Cathedral, others onto the garden or courtyard, all quiet, all personally tended.

Expert Review
Origins
Noto is the showpiece of Sicilian Baroque — a town rebuilt wholesale in golden tufa after the 1693 earthquake levelled the old one, its cathedral, palaces and Corso composed as a single eighteenth-century stage set, now UNESCO-listed in full. Q92 occupies a palazzo from 1696, raised in the first wave of that rebuilding, on Corso Vittorio Emanuele where the town does its evening passeggiata.
The building was restored and opened as a hotel in 2021 by the Quartucci family, under their Sicilian group, keeping the Baroque architecture intact — the stone, the proportions, the balconies — while fitting ten rooms with contemporary comfort behind the historic face. The work was careful with what mattered: the rooms that face the street look across to the honey-coloured Cathedral, and the balconies hold the position the whole hotel is built on.
That position has one unrepeatable moment. Each May, for the Infiorata, the street below is carpeted in a vast picture made entirely of flower petals, laid by hand down the Via Nicolaci nearby and across the town's Baroque heart — and Q92's balconies look directly onto the spectacle, the only hotel that does. The family put it plainly: theirs is the only house from which you watch the Infiorata from your own window. The rest of the year the same balconies simply watch Noto go by, which is reason enough.
Top Secret
Ask for a Cathedral-facing room and time the stay to the third Sunday of May, when the Infiorata petal-carpet is laid down the street: Q92's balconies are the only hotel windows that look straight onto it, no crowd to stand in. Out of season, the same rooms catch the Cathedral floodlit after dark, when the day-trippers have gone and the Corso is yours.
The Review
Q92 delivers something specific: a Baroque palazzo on the best street in Sicily's most beautiful Baroque town, run as a ten-room family house rather than a grand hotel. Noto is the reason — rebuilt entirely in golden stone after the 1693 quake, a UNESCO set-piece of churches and palazzi — and Q92 sits on its central Corso, many of its rooms looking across to the Cathedral itself.
Inside, the restoration paired the palazzo's stone bones and proportions with clean contemporary rooms; there are ten of them across six categories, the best facing the street and the Cathedral, others giving onto a small garden with lemon trees and a plunge pool behind the building. The service is the family's own — the Quartuccis run it in person, with the warmth of a house that treats guests as friends and hands over its private list of Noto's best tables and craft workshops. There is no restaurant, by design, but in Noto that is no hardship: the town's celebrated kitchens and granita counters are a short walk in every direction.
It suits the culture traveller above all — the visitor who wants to be inside the Baroque rather than beside it, to step from the door into the Corso and from the balcony onto the Cathedral. The coast and the beaches are twenty minutes south, Syracuse and the Val di Noto towns within an easy drive, but the pleasure here is the town itself, taken slowly, from a window most visitors never get to look out of.
