We had a wonderful time at the Villa. In particular the outside space is a very big bonus. There are four different seating areas and we used them all. We walked the short walk to the beach every ďay. There is a lovely friendly cafe nearby - Cafe Arenella - which sells bread, pastries, meats and cheeses. The public beach is good and there are a number of small beachside bars. One small warning; the bus stop nearby is out of use and you need to walk a further 5 minutes to catch the bus to Siracusa.
Michele speaks little English (as do the locals) but he always replied promptly to our text enquiries.
Would not hesitate to recommend this wonderfully tranquil corner of Sicily for a great restful break.
