We stayed only a few days but wished we would have stayed longer. The house is very convenient for a family, the garden is very beautiful, there is a lot of space for kids to wander around while we were having relaxing time on the terrasse. The house is 500m close to a nice sand beach. Syracuse is accessible within 15 min drive. Noto is at 30 min. The kitchen is not up to most recent standards but bathrooms have been renovated recently. I do recommend Maria’s house for your future holidays.
