We loved this ancient, spacious farmhouse and garden, set in the midst of fields with views to the sea in the distance. It was a little tricky to find, especially as we arrived in the dark, but waking to the sound of an amazing dawn chorus and seeing our location in daylight was a true delight. It was ideal for us as we were able to visit Punta Secca, Donnalucata, Ragusa Ibla, Modica, Noto, Sampieri and even Agrigento although Scicli (10 minutes drive) had plenty to entertain us. We took advantage of the Scicli card to enjoy a variety of churches, palaces, museums, fulfilling our interest in history, art and culture. Dining out was never a disappointment! Noka, Ummara, Non Lo So for a 6 course tasting menu as a treat; Retro overlooking the beach in Donnalucata; Il Festo in Noto.
The house and amenities are basic but you have everything you need (except a kettle!) If you are driving, be prepared for a rocky track to the house. If you arrive in the evening after traveling by plane, you will need to bring/buy some basic provisions unless you eat out in Scicli. We thoroughly enjoyed our 12 days here and highly recommend it.
