The location of the house close to the city center of Scicli is perfect, with lots of good restaurants to choose. Parking always a hassle. We noticed the people living here were enthousiast, curious and so friendly - actually all over Sicilie. The highlights of the region (Noto, Ragusa, Syracuse) are at least 11/2 h drive. Although the countryside alongside the coast is not really appealing with mostly industrial activity and the production of plants, the beaches - especially Sampieri 20 min. by car - are immaculate. unfortunate we were early in season and beaches and Donnalucata and Marina Ragusa were deserted. Also we experienced rather changing weather with rain and wind.
