We had a great time at Paolo and Barbara’s place .The house is set in lovely gardens and pool. There is also a big terrace at first floor level with views across the adjacent countryside - we saw a flight of 5 flamingoes go over! The house is well equipped and comfortable. All bedrooms and the living room have air con. The house is close to the sea ( 5 mins by car) and various bars and restaurants.Syracuse is lovely and also don’t miss Noto world heritage site and the Roman pavements at a nearby villa.
