"Our second stay at this hotel and truly lovely. Fantastic staff who make this hotel what it is. Brilliantly situated for the restaurants of Ortigia where you are spoilt for choice. You’ll struggle to do better if you are in the area. "

"The hotel is located in the countryside so is a bit remote. There are buses but having a car is better. We visited out of high season and had the pool to ourselves every day. We loved that."

"There were things we've appreciated, such as friendly host, who tried his best to help us, cheerful dog and cheap price. However the list of disappointing things is much longer. The biggest problem was dirty towels with black spots, which looked like it fell on the floor. Midsize towels were almost clean, but two big towels had a significant dirt. The toilet had a leak, so the host asked us to close the input valve after every use of the toilet. These two problems must be fixed before hosting anyone, but a few other issues I'd like to mention below. There were rust in the bathroom, the drain was dirty and after taking a shower the water leaked from shower cabin. We've stayed during winter and to hear cold room we've used Air conditioner. However it produced a screaming noise every couple hours which woke up us in the middle of the night, when we complained the host said it's normal. Hair dryer was also dirty and sticky to touch, we assume it had never been cleaned before. The room smell bad as if someone smoked inside some time ago. We appreciated to meet the host personally and we hope our feedback can improve the accommodation in the future."

"The accommodation is perfect. Every bedroom is a good size, each has a TV with Netflix, and all proper double beds. The kitchen is perfectly equipped, and the welcome package contained really useful and sensible things like spaghetti and passatta, wine amongst other things. Definitely the most thought through and generous welcome hamper/ package I have experienced. The living area is perfect, with a big table, comfy couch and TV with PS4 which has decent games with it if the kids need down time. The two bathrooms are as required, and good. Everything indoors is well thought through for families staying. Iron, ironing board, washing machine, dishwasher etc - all easy to use and work. The pool area is excellent, and the pool itself is also excellent. It has a deep and shallow end, and our 7 year old was more than OK in it. There are some inflatables/ pool toys that can be used which was a bonus. There is a side area for outdoor cooking which is a good bonus, but we did not use it. The location is a 20 minute drive into Syracuse. If you stay here, you must have a car. There are no shops/ restaurants within walking distance (I think). Fabrizio is the most attentive host I have experienced. The PS4 was playing up and he came to check it and sort it. The gas had run out for hot water, so he went straight to get it refilled and was back in 15 mins. Communication beforehand was perfect and plentiful. If you think this place will suit your needs, it definitely well. Brilliant!"

"This is an attractive, comfortable and practical house that makes for a relaxed and stress-free stay, facilitated by Andrea, who is a kind, responsive and organised host. He is true to his word, generous with local advice and attends to queries efficiently. Highlights are the wonderful pool, garden and outside patios - it's outdoor living at its best. We had the use of the whole space and relished the privacy that offered us. Everything was in working order. The spacious bedrooms are adequately cooled by the fans; although the showers are small, the bathrooms function well. The downstairs kitchen is well-equipped, with lots of lovely crockery and glassware. This was a wonderful spot for a family reunion, thank you, Andrea."

"This property has not been looked after. It was not properly clean, many things were broken (shower head held straight with string, arms off chairs, the toilet seat was broken, the air con controls were lost to one bedroom meaning we couldn't work it etc), the electricity tripped multiple times a day & night and the trip box was outside of the property down the lane, the shower ran cold after 2 minutes every time, there was never any hot water for washing up in the kitchen, there were ants and biting bugs everywhere. There was insufficient provisions for a property for 9. For example, there were 4 mugs for coffee. Despite asking the local host to help, we were fobbed off with "this is normal here". We were also asked to sign a contract in Italian, and when we needed it in English we were told we were the first people ever to ask for it in English, and nothing was fixed despite us asking. A really disappointing 50th celebration. The only good thing was the pool - which was lovely. But the chairs around the pool were old and tatty."

"Was unhappy with being told that I gave the wrong information on the website from the on site person of contact he should me his email that it was a family of three and that I had to pay more for my son until I gave him my information from my email that had a family of four, then the front gate didn’t work correctly I had to adjust the motor on the inside of the door then the person who took care of the lawn asked me to water the lawn only for a couple of hours AGAIN I WAS ON VACATION AND DIDNT WANT TO CARE FOR THE LAWN,"

"Perfect"
