We have just returned from a wonderful week at Valeria's beautiful house. It is set in a very rural setting and only 15 minutes drive to the beautiful city of Ortigia. Its 5 minute drive/25 minute walk to local beach and several restaurants where you have a beautiful view across the bay to Origia. And well placed to explore Sicily's east coast. You have everything you need at Valeria's house, and Valeria and her husband answered any queries we had immediately. We also enjoyed their beautiful cat and her completely adorable kittens. Thank you very much!
