Villa Pepa was simply an amazing place, and Sabrina an equally great host. We travelled as a group of four adults and three kids, but there was plenty of room for larger groups. Especially the outside area with a nice pergola and the fantastic swimming pool was extraordinarily great for bathing, sunbathing and enjoying food and drinks outside. There was sufficient parking space for our two rental cars, the rooms were clean, the AC seemed new and worked really well. Extra kudos for fast internet with coverage across all rooms (mesh Wi-Fi). Sabrina certainly went the extra distance to accommodate our group, arranging for a high chair and kid bed.
There’s a small market 5 min walking distance which covered our needs for fresh bread/emergency pizza and cool refreshments. 12 minute drive to a nice supermarket in the outskirts of Siracusa (Deco) and 15 minutes drive to a full-fledged shopping mall (Archimede). A nice stone/terrace beach (Varcos 23) with sunbeds/parasols is only3 mins drive/ 12 min walk away (although we wouldn’t recommend walking as the roadside pavement is partly obstructed). 15/20 mins drive south lead us to the beautiful sandy beaches of Aranella/Fontane Bianche. And frequent visits to the stunning city of Siracusa/Ortigia were only a 15 min drive away, and highlights of our stay.
We can highly recommend Sabrina as a host and Villa Pepa as a place to stay while visiting this most beautiful corner of Sicily!
