We enjoyed our stay at Marta's villa, despite an unfortunate turn in the weather (which even included some snow!). Marta's father welcomed us warmly, providing us with detailed instructions for our stay and a well-stocked refrigerator. The villa is fairly close to the beach (not that we were there much in December), on a very quiet street, and is centrally located to many of the sights in southeastern Sicily. All in all, I would recommend the villa and its wonderful hosts.
