Just wow. The setting is spectacular. You can see the ocean, Etna and endless rolling fields and hills. The sunsets and sunrises from the roof deck are not to be missed--a really beautiful way to start and end your days. The location is close enough for day trips to Siracusa, Ragusa, Modica, Taoramina, Etna and Noto. During our visit, there was a heat wave, making it extra hot. While the pool provided some much needed relief, it also attracted some very thirsty bees. My guess is this isn't a common or ongoing problem but a by-product of the heat and drought. I mention it only in case anyone in your party is allergic. Peter quickly called in an expert who helped try to divert the bees to another water source. Peter is a truly gracious, flexible and accommodating host with a great sense of humor.
