This was the highlight accommodation of our visit to Sicily. Francesco is such a welcoming, trusting and friendly host, willing to help with literally everything and answer all questions. The house is perfect for two couples, two friends or more, or a small family. There is a huge lawn to play on, two patios, both with tables, one patio with an outdoor grill. There are screens on all of the windows, which is such a relief in the summer from the bugs. The house is decorated tastefully and practical at the same time, and each room is air-conditioned. Being able to wash our clothes was a huge plus, and there is a fold-up rack in order to dry them outdoors. Be sure to ask how to wash a normal load, it always varies from country to country.
The property is completely private with a locked gate and there is room to park two cars within the private grounds. There are a couple of pizza places not far, and only about 1km away there there is a nice grocery store for basics, with a terrific deli counter with fresh cheeses and cold cuts (Viale dei Lidi, 3, 96100, Fontane Bianche). Larger supermarkets can be reached only a few minutes drive in the next largest town. The Fontane Bianche beach is very nice and it has what looks like a nice beach restaurant that we did not have time to try. From this location, day trips can be made to Syracuse/Ortigia, Noto, Ragusa, Modica and more, which makes it a very practical place as a base.
We would return to this accommodation without hesitating and we can't thank Francesco enough for his kind hospitality and welcome. Highly recommended!
