My family loved staying at this Villa. It was such a unique experience compared to other parts of our trip (staying in hotels/pensiones). Having the villa and pool to ourselves was the best part, we could go for a swim anytime (hot august). The pool was clean and temperature just right. The grounds were fun to explore and wander through. There were chickens, a peacock, a horse, two fiesta dogs and cats including a sweet baby kitten that followed us around. I didn’t expect so much fun time with the animals! We used the villa as a base to explore Noto, Ragusa, Donnafugata Palace, and Modica. Having all the historic furnishings in place really gave so much character to the interiors. Washing machine worked great. Loved the slower pace away from the towns and where the only sounds were cowbells and cows mooing.
