Mario welcomed us ahead of the agreed time with a home made cake by his mother, fresh fruits and cold drinks in the fridge. Not only the kids loved the cake! The villa was very clean- which was very important to us based on the current COVID situation. The villa is surrounded by a nice garden in a quiet neighborhood. It is absolute perfectly located in just a two minutes walk from the beautiful beach of Fontane Bianche with crystal clear water and white sands. Siracusa, Noto and Marzamemi are not far away and we made excusions by car to these very nice places. The villa itself has a spacious terrasse with nice sea views, is very lovely decorated and very well equipped. We felt immediately at home and had a wonderful and relaxing vacation at villa Silvia. We will definitely recommend it to our friends and family.
