Superb house; location, personality and charm.
Cavalli del Sole is situated close to Siracusa and the beaches at Ognina. Remote and quiet in a field. The 4 children just loved the swimming pool day and night and the house was spacious and elegantly furnished. What we liked best were the interiors and the house as such. Not brand new, but with a lot of personality: Stylish ceramics everywhere, a piano, a rustic kitchen with a pizza oven and baskets on the wall, two large horse statues (Cavalli del Sole!?), lots of kitchen utensils for cooking and lots of room. You feel like you live in the personal home or Summer house of an Italian family. Everything worked well and we would love to stay there again.
If you are looking for a spacious house with personality, charm and swimming pool, this would be a good choice. If you want things brand new – but without personality – right by the beach or in the middle of Siracusa, then choose another location;-)
PS. We went in July and with aircon and pool things worked well… but keep in mind, that temperatures in Sicily in July and August is mostly around 30 degrees Celsius during daytime, so sightseeing and activities might be slowed down due to this… April-June or September-October is probably better… if you have the choice.
