Lovely, very comfortable villa tucked away in the hills
We had an excellent week staying at Ignazio's lovely villa. The house is perfect for visiting the south eastern corner of Sicily. Our week was packed with activities - highlights were a couple of visits to beautiful Syracuse, walking in the Cava Grande di Cassibile gorge just five minutes from the house, birdwatching in Vendicari and a couple of other local nature reserves, a trip to Noto, and a visit to the necropolis at Pantalica, which was a bit of a drive but absolutely worth it. The house was ideal for the four of us (two adults and two children). It's beautifully decorated and well equipped, with plenty of space of lots of very welcome practical touches - some lilos for the pool, loads of comfortable seating outside, facilities to wash clothes and hang them to dry etc.
We visited in early April and wondered if it was worth having a house with a pool - but although the water was a bit chilly for us, the kids had brought their wetsuits and absolutely loved it. If we'd visited later in the summer we would have made even more use of the lovely outside space, which is beautifully lit in the evenings. The house is quite cool - ideal for summer, but at this time of year, pack jumpers and socks if you don't want to put the heating on!
We had a lovely meal at the agriturismo, but otherwise ate in (there's a Lidl just down the road, but the Interspar slightly further away is worth the drive - much nicer!). As others have said, it's essential to have a car here - and you soon get used to the bendy drive up to the house - we found it took about 15 minutes down to the main road.
Thanks for a lovely holiday, and we would definitely recommend the house to anyone looking to stay in this area.
We had a fantastic stay here over Easter. Would not hesitate to recommend!
Emanuele and Teresa were the perfect hosts. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome (even leaving a freshly made cake in the fridge for our arrival which was hugely appreciated!). The house was spotless and very spacious for us, a group of 6 adults. We have travelled a lot together and this was by far the best equipped place we've ever stayed in. There are beautiful views surrounding the house, and a small pool that we didn't use as the weather wasn't quite warm enough.
Thank you again for a wonderful stay Emanuel and Teresa!
