From the booking request to checkout, Giorgio proved that he is a great person, before being a great host. Even if our flight was changed, he was very kind to answer the phone at late hours and assist with solutions for our issue. The entire vacation he was very easy to reach via phone and messages, which is a great plus.
His house is very cozy, has everything one needs. Clean and tidy, is very suitable for family vacations, but not just for families. We were 6 couples, one infant, one kid. The pool is also a great plus and was the main "gathering point", while being at home. This was actually our feeling during the entire stay, that we are at home, at our very own place.
The description of his house is very accurate. Each room had a roof fan, which was not quite necessary (second week of June). Individual rooms and kitchen. Big terrace where you can have breakfast, coffee, wine at late evening, have a chill time. Beds for kids were a plus. For the first time, my 1.5yrs old daughter slept separately during the night (in the same room) and we'll continue taking advantage of this new "habit" . :)
As per the description, the house does not have towels and bed linen, but Giorgio can help with that as well - these were white, clean and fresh perfumed, as hotels uses, provided by Mr. Luigi and Maria at check-in.
The time was perfect in Siracusse, even with few afternoon showers, weather was then great again for beach, walks, going out.
Giorgio was again, a good source of information and tips for the places to eat around, buy stuff, go to the beach.
Mr. Luigi and his wife, Maria, are the persons who receives guest and check them out; during the stay, they have come just once, we were not there, to clean/check the pool. You can do this on your own as well, as Giorgio has everything you need for that and it's very easy. He was very organised and has sent me clear and complete information about the house before I reached the place. I warmly reccomand him as a host, and his house as being a great place to spend holidays in Sicily.
For future guest, airport is 50 min drive away, sandy beach at 5-7 min drive (Fontane Bianche), Sirracuse at 10-15 min - great city to visit, eat, walk. Taormina 1h20min drive, Etna volcano at 1h10 min. Calamosche beach at 20-30 min drive, Noto 20 min, Valley of the Temples 2h50'.
Other pluses for staying at Giorgio: kitchen fully equipped, grill and oven outside, you can cook almost everything you want/need. If needed. Outside shower was very good, I personally used just that one, +three others inside bathrooms. Garden is very nice as well. :)
Thanks again to Giorgio for being so nice and made our stay and trip easy.
