Alice and Giorgio were very kind, helpful and hospitable. We had a couple of minor problems with the water the day after we arrived. The toilet cistern wasn't filling up and the water heater was set too low but they came round straight away to sort it out and there were no more problems after that.. It took us about 20 minutes to walk to the beach from the house but there was a free car park adjacent to the beach. I think a car is probably a necessity to enjoy your stay here We used the 2 bikes to go to the beach one afternoon as the couple that we were staying with decided to relax in the garden instead. The house is clean spacious and well located for day trips to places such as Syracuse, Notto and Pantalica.
