We stayed 10 nights at Fabrizio's place with our young family (boys 7 and 3) in July. The house is 6 min walk from the sea (rocky shore with shallow pools for swimming) or 10 min from a sandy beach. The garden is great with plenty of shade for those long hot afternoons, a large date palm, jasmine bush, lots of cacti and the boys loved playing in the paddling pool. There's an outdoor shower for washing off the sand from the beach.
Fabrizio met us on arrival and left a kitchen full of food, including home made cake, watermelon, drinks, coffee, and enough store cupboard ingredients to last until we could go shopping. He checked up on us and gave some good suggestions for activities. House is simply laid out with air con upstairs and down, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living room. Outside there is another kitchen and eating space.
The location is good for exploring the SE of Sicily, 15 min drive from Siracusa and Noto, and about 45 min from Catania, 1 hr from Etna. Directly opposite the house is an ATM a small supermarket and a few restaurants, so the house has some noise at night but not too much. If you want to self cater Lidl is 15 min drive, if you want to eat out there is one good restaurant within walking distance (La Capannina - basic but tasty food and best cannoli we had), otherwise go to Siracusa or another town for a better selection.
We had a great time here thanks to Fabrizio's hospitality and great communication. Highly recommended.
