We had an amazing stay, Andrea really is a super host This is a very special place and as a couple away from our children for a week, (it is not child friendly) we could not have wished for more. It was a fabulous recharge. The weather was amazing, we did not particularly want to leave the villa or indeed Sicily at the end of the week.
Yes there is a road in view from the villa the cars are dots and yes there is the occasional fly, mosquito and a few ants but you are in an olive grove it’s a small payback. Maybe bring some citronella incense or candles as we did , it really was not a big problem for us.
You do need a car the villa is very remote Noto and it’s interiors are stunning ,definitely worth a visit. 10mins easy drive in the car, it’s beautiful especially at sunset but street parking is a night mare so we used the car parks. One full day in Noto soaking in the architecture and colours people and food is probably enough, in fact once we had sussed the supermarkets and where to buy fish/meat we had no desire to go back to the bustle. Local nature reserve beaches were lovely, take mossey stuff for evening meals in beach restaurants or you will be eaten alive but again we did not explore much of the beaches as the villa offered us all the quite and relaxation we wanted.
Thanks Andrea for a great experience and lovely memories and amazing images for Instagram!!!!!!!!!
