We had a fantastic holiday in Villa Frida, it's ideal for anyone looking for a quiet family holiday or a base for exploring the South East of Sicily.
The house was clean and had everything you need, our kids (aged 4) really loved the shady garden in the afternoons. The beach is a very short walk away and stretches for several kilometers so it never feels over-crowded. It's sandy and has a gentle gradient, so it was perfect for kids, though the water does get a little choppy if there's a breeze from the east.
You do need a car as the nearest supermarket is about 8km away, although you can buy bread, fruit and ice-cream from vendors who come into the estate. The house is located on a private road with other similar houses in a small 'Villagio'. The neighbourhood was quiet and very safe.
Maria is a wonderful host, providing everything we needed to settle in and responded quickly to all queries
