Veronica's place is part of a big house divided into two apartments. The house itself is surrounded by a huge and beautiful garden with garden seats and a cosy place to eat outside overlooking the old town of Syracus at the other side of the sea. The best part about the property is that it is spot on the beach. Walking through a gate, there is a nice place to sit right next to the sea. The water is amazing, very shallow and turquoise, perfect to go for a swim or just cooling off. The apartment itself is perfect for 2 people. There is a spacious bathroom, a nice living room with a huge couch and a bedroom with a double bed. The kitchen invites cooking, pans, plates, a fridge and so on is all there. When we were there, a nice couple staid in the other part of the house. Since the property is spacious, we hardly crossed our ways, though. Very close to the apartment are some restaurants and shops selling fresh fish and vongole. Syracus is hardly a 15 min drive and definitely worthwile to see. On the way, there also some big supermarkets. We also visited beautiful Noto, 40 minutes away and took the chance to hang out at the scenic beach Callamoche. Finally some words about Veronica. She is a great host, always responsive and very flexible/kind in terms of arrival departure time. All in all, we had fantastic time. The only very minor point is that sometimes you hear some cars passing by but as soon you are close to the beach, only the sound of the waves remains.
