Location: If you are looking for a base to visit the south east of Sicily this is the right place. Very close to the town of Noto (a must see Unesco World Heritage site), 5 mins drive from a proper Supermarket, and a short drive from the motorway (which is far enough from the Villa that you can't hear it). From here one is less than a 1.5 hours drive away from most sites (Syracuse/Ortigia, Taormina, Mount Etna..) and only 10-15 minutes drive from the local beach and within 45 minutes of a vast choice of the best beaches in Sicily and lovely old small towns like Modica, Marzamemi etc.
The VIlla: It's a very nice house with a lot of character, fully furnished, very spacious with plenty of furnished space outside and very quiet (nicely set back from the road). We found it (and the garden) immaculately clean and tended. It doesn't have a swimming pool so if you are planning a holiday by the pool this is not your place obviously.
The host: both Signora Lucia (who greeted us) and Simone (the helper) were very friendly and helpful. Unexpectedly we found all sorts of nice things in the house (from a large fresh fruit platter, to a fridge stocked with cold bottled water, iced tea, almond milk and cupboards with enough pasta, passata etc for a couple of meals. All top end products from local producers.
We loved it, spent 4 days sightseeing and 3 on the beaches.
