Fabio's place is a wonderful base to stay and visit a good number of Sicily's sites. It has all a family or group of 4 need in a villa, the pool and outside eating area facing distant Etna is fantastic. We had a couple of extremely clear days and could see the straights of Messina and mainland Italy from here. Sortino has ample shopping for supplies and as it is 20mins to the motorway network you are able to get to much of Sicily's sites, we visited Ragusa, Agrigento valley of the temples, Villa Romana, Etna and Taoromina, and a couple of trips to Siracusa. We loved Siracusa. The nearby gorge walk at Pantalica is also very interesting. Just make sure you plan to leave some time to relax at the Villa.
