Loredana and her husband Luca are a little family local to Siracusa and gave us a very warm welcome to their brand new villa! They have their own personal experience of traveling with children and know how to attend to the details that parents and kids need. They are still ironing out the early days of renting out their villa, but being locally present helped us with any needs, and coming quickly to the villa if there's an issue. We really appreciated their design of the extra shower/toilet in the adjacent external laundry room; easy to get the kids cleaned up after the beach without bringing the sand in the house. Great location to reach 5min on foot to a simple and quiet beach away from the masses of tourists and a quiet place to sleep away from the Siracusa but close enough by car to Ortegia and other sights (~15 min). The area is mainly beach-side residences used in the summer time. All shops and groceries are closer to Siracusa.
