It was our second time at Villa Alma and again we had a fabulous time. The Villa is spaciously laid out and has everything you need and more whether you're adults or with kids like us. The deck at the top has amazing views over the Siracusa bay and back over to Ortigia. Sun comes streaming in and is a perfect lunch and dinner spot and great for chilling in the sun whilst the kids have afternoon siestas.

Top amenities are close by with a small supermarket a 2 min walk and a great cafe/bar just across the road with a very friendly owner. The beaches close by - Arenella (10 mins) and Fontane Bianche (20 mins) are amazing, with top notch facilities that they don't charge the earth for. The water and sand just gorgeous. Ortigia is where we spent our evenings and so easy to park by the marina and wander up and the restaurants and bars are all fabulous - our favourite pizzeria is Kaos. The kids just loved running around the main square by the Duomo every night. We also loved the underground city - a favourite for our kids and went in and explored pretty much everyday.

Siracusa is a beautiful Italian town, not to be missed and so close to such wonderful beaches.

Thank you Tony and Arianna for a perfect family holiday with lots of wonderful memories. We'll be back again some day soon.
