Romana was away when we arrived but her parents were waiting at the flat to greet us when we arrived. They were very welcoming. The flat was perfect, actually nicer than it appears on the listing and had everything we needed. I especially appreciated the washing machine, iron and ironing board. It was ideally suited for walking to the wonderful stretch of beaches, literally three to four minutes away, plus a supermarket and an open air market were very close, not to mention a choice of cafes, bars and eating places. Romana's parents could not have been kinder. When they realised we were disappointed at not being able to visit Donnafugata by bus, they offered to drive us up there and then took us back to their own home in the country and gave us coffee, ice cream, and some of their own lemons. They also took us to the bus and although Romana was away in Rome, she went to a lot of trouble to check on bus times for us for our trip back to Catania. We will definitely stay there again on a return trip to Marina di Ragusa.
