This place is so much better than the current photos! Top3 points for us: the spectacular, first row seaview, a brand new house and the warm hospitality of Maurizio & Alessandra! This is a new property and the 3-bedroom house with its huge terrace, garden and swimming pool is the first to receive guests. The hosts are currently completing the interior of 4 more, smaller units (all with separate entrances, bathrooms and kitchenette) which will allow large family reunions or several families to enjoy this property with enough space and privacy. The 3-bedroom house has a well-designed, fully equipped kitchen, 2 new bathrooms, 2 bedrooms with double beds and 1 bedroom with a gorgeous bunk bed that is large enough for adults too. The hosts had stocked the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room with lots of products for us to use (from the basics like salt/pepper, oil to pasta, sauces, eggs, milk, juice... to dishwasher tabs, shampoo, towels, laundry detergent, etc). Alessandra & Maurizio had welcomed us personally during check-in and gave a tour of the house. Both were also available throughout our stay in case of questions and even brought over extra pool towels and birthday gifts for our twin boys. In terms of location: there is only a natural reserve between you and the blue water. You can even see Ortigia in the distance. You do need a car thou as the house is fairly remote but this also means peace & calm. It takes 5min to the gorgeous Punta della Mola where we swam in a different bay every day. It's 15-20min to Syracusa's old city center and some 7min to the seafood restaurants around the bay with view of Isola di Ortigia. Price/ value is top, especially given the brand new facilities and the outdoor space with its stunning views. We of course had all our meals on the covered terrace. Pool is built into the rocks, was clean and a decent size but already a little chilly in October. Also a lovely area to relax and a read a book. You don't hear anything but birds and the waves in a distance. A place to come back to, maybe with the whole family next time!
