We had a wonderful time at La casa di Andrea. The house is within a small gated complex, immersed in beautiful gardens leading to the rocky sea. gardens and view from the paths are stunning. We are within a natural reserve and the sea looks amazing - but a bit rough because of the season (end of September). The location is perfect, 20 mins away from Ortigia, and 30 to 50 mins away from beautiful beaches like Fontane Bianche or the wilder and stunning Gelsominetto. These are probably very busy in high season, but just perfect when we went. And we discovered Noto, less than 1 hr drive - stunning small baroque city, with a cool artistic scene and the b.e.s.t. gelato in the world @ caffe Costanzo. Arnaldo was a very courteous and interactive host - we never met but we received plenty of detailed instructions and useful advice (don't miss the local caponata!). the lovely Giovanni was at hand for help with small things, very efficient. The house is small but well organised, with a lovely terrace with sofas and a dining table. Remember to bring the basics, such as shower gel and shampoo. A couple of local shops nearby are stocked with the basics, us delicious home made Sicilian food. All in all, it was a great break, wish we could have stayed longer. thank you and hopefully meet again!
