This house is everything we thought it would be. Remote, quiet, all the amenities you could want (we didn't miss having a tv) and a private pool. Who could ask for more when it is hot in the middle of summer? Also the area has plenty to offer, with Noto, Syracusa and beaches only a short drive away. Alfonso was prompt in his replies and although we didn't meet him, we felt welcome. There were quite a few lizzards in the grounds, but they didn't bother us and they help to keep the insect population at bay. We slept fine, although the matresses were a bit on the hard side. There was airconditioning in both bedrooms, so that was a plus during the warm nights. All in all a great place when you want to be away from the crowds and enjoy a beautiful environment.
