Despite the absence of our host on arrival (the housekeeper greeted us), we had all the useful information and drinks and fruit were waiting for us in the fridge. The house is not brand new, but we lived outside most of the time. The bedding is good and we slept well. The air conditioning in the children's room would be a plus for the very hot Sicilian nights. The exteriors are magnificent and offer shade all day long and privileged areas of tranquility. The beaches are very close and you will have the choice according to your desires. Note another house on the ground with a little opposite but which was not a problem for us. We stayed 3 weeks in August so there is a lot of traffic on the street as it leads to the beaches. The house is ideally located and is close to the fabulous city of Syracuse. Anna was responsive to all our requests to make our stay as smooth as possible. Really good holidays. Thanks a lot Anna
