I have been many times to Italy and mostly rented private places. I have never though expierienced such a nice host and well maintained place like Francesco and his country villa. No matter what we needed, Francesco was always happy to provide a helping hand. He always answered promptly and is a very kind and polite person (remember this works both ways ;) ). The villa is just as discribed with an incredibly gorgeous garden. The villa is situated in a quiet area and still, the supermarket, the charming center of Donnalucata as well as the local sand beach (and an incredible ice cream place) is reachable in just a couple of minutes.
The house has a perfectly equipped kitchen and two bedrooms with a modern a/c. The furniture on the inside is functional, very well maintained, super clean and has everything you could need (even an iron and ironing board). Just as in the pictures.
We got to meet Francesco in his home town Siracusa spent some time with him there. We did not only have a great vacation, but also made a good friend. Even if you might find this rating contains too many superlatives, it really is that nice. Francesco and his family are spending their vacation there themselves and take good care of the place.
