We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful villa on a hillside with views over the Mediterranean. It is delightfully quirky - three villas in one, on two levels. Even better than in the pictures. Two kitchens - one inside and one equally well equipped on the airy, covered terrace. There is a washing machine, a barbecue and a wood stove. Fully air conditioned, although that does push up the electricity charge - there was a charge for electricity based on meter readings (in our case 10 Euro per day - which we don't think was clearly stated in the listing).

There are plenty of spaces to relax and unwind. And of course the good sized pool - irresistible in the heat of the day, and lit in the evening, for swimming into the night. Marina di Ragusa is a short drive away for shops, restaurants and beaches. Nearby towns like Modica and Scicli, and especially Ragusa are well worth visiting. And there are extensive free access sandy beaches along this part of the coast. A car is essential, as it is a couple of miles to the edge of town.

Riccardo is a wonderful host, full of ideas about where to go and what to do, and he made us feel extremely welcome. He also makes a very good red wine.
