We had a fantastic time at Dimore del Valentino. We received a really warm welcome from Stefania who spoke excellent English. The apartment was lovely- really stylish with antique touches and a modern, fully equipped kitchen. There were table & chairs outside both sides of the building and we really enjoyed sitting outside with a glass of wine in the evening sun. Our 11 month old loved the pool and watching the donkeys and goats in the adjacent field. The view of the pool with the palm trees around was spectacular. The place is a short drive from a beautiful beach at Sampieri and ideally situated to explore the local towns of Scicli & Ragusa Ibla where there were some lovely restaurants. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and would love to return again in the future!
