Margherita and Arturo were fantastic hosts. Margherita responded quickly to messages and speaks good English. The apartment was comfortable with a lovely private covered patio with dining table, swing seat, hammock and sun lounger. Kitchen equipment was good. They left water and juice in the fridge and a lovely touch was a huge bunch of fresh herbs, and a bowl of lemons and garlic. Basics like coffee, tea, oil and vinegar, sugar etc all there too. They recommended restaurants and booked us a table at a great fish restaurant in Portopalo. The pool was lovely. Arturo is an amazing cook and brought us over spinach pie, chocolate cake and fried courgette flowers! It's a good base for Noto, Ragusa and Modica and close to the beautiful Vendicari nature reserve and beaches. Thank you Margherita and Arturo. We loved it.
