We had a lovely 5 days at Villa Lionti. The accommodation is just as lovely as it is in the photos. Sasi and Maria were on hand to help with all of our needs including tips on where to go in the area. We did many day trips and the location is excellent for exploring the East side of Sicily. It was a real joy to come back to this little haven in San Pietro Clarenza. The pool area is just lovely... sitting under the pink peppercorn tree and enjoying a beautiful relaxing oasis within a fairly urban environment. It was a small paradise away from the bustle of the town. However, we were surprised at how urban the location was outside of the walled community of the villa. It is very much part of a small Italian town. Expect very narrow streets, crazy drivers (you need a car to get around, but beware, you have to be a confident driver!), stray dogs that bark a lot of the time day and night and a lot of bell ringing from local churches. The town itself was not particularly nice... Villa Lionti is by far the nicest building there. So all in all we loved the accommodation, we loved our hosts who were so helpful, and while the location was great for exploring nearby attractions, we did not particularly enjoy our immediate surroundings outside of the Villa’s gates. Perhaps our fault for not researching the local area well enough. We had expected to be in a more rural location. All in all we had a great stay but not sure we would return due to the urban environment.
