We have just had a fantastic week staying with our 3 young children at Valeria and Georgio's place. Valeria and Georgio are such lovely people and great hosts. Communication before our arrival was prompt, helpful and friendly. We felt welcome before we had even arrived! When we arrived, they showed us around and introduced us to the area. The Prosecco and fruit were lovely touches as was the supply of all the basics such as pasta and sauce, oil and vinegar, salt, coffee, tea, etc.
We stayed right at the end of the season which meant that the pool wasn't warm enough to really enjoy, but it would have been great in warmer weather. The raised pool area isn't great for toddlers, but it would be stunning on a warm day for a family with older kids. The grounds are stunning - with orange, lemon and olive trees just outside the door.
The house is very near some beautiful beaches, a well stocked small delikatessen, and a selection of pizza and seafood restaurants. The supermarkets are a 15 minute drive away. A car is a must for getting around. Syracuse and Ortigia are about 20 minutes away and great for soaking up Sicilian culture and cuisine.
Valeria and Georgio's cats made the holiday even better for the kids. They were so excited about helping out with feeding them and loved playing with them in the garden.
We all had a brilliant time and can thoroughly recommend it.
