We had a lovely stay in the villa. It’s in a beautiful, peaceful setting and the views over the reserve and ocean are gorgeous - especially sunset from the roof top. It’s well located for the local beaches and only 10 mins to Noto. We also had a lovely meal at a beachside restaurant in Marzamemi. We stayed 7 nights though we felt that was a little too long and had exhausted most of the sights in the area. Would recommend 4 - 5 nights.
The villa itself is very spacious and is designed to make the most of the sea breeze….very welcome on a hot day. I would sum up the style/decor as being ‘shabby chic’ …which we loved.
Peter was an excellent host- great at communicating before and during the stay.
Unfortunately we had problems with the pool during our stay - the pump kept failing and we also had a problem with lots of bees also using the pool. The host was helpful in trying to resolve. But It did mean we had a couple of days when the pool was out of action or we could only use it in the evening (once bees had left for the day!). It was ok for us (3 adults and older teens) but I mention it as the location on the edge of a nature reserve means you need to take the pros and cons that go with that.
On the whole an lovely, airy villa in a handy, peaceful location to explore the area.
