I spent one fantastic week here with my son (6 years). The house and its surroundings are amazing and even more beautiful than on the pictures - like as if it had emerged from a classic Italian movie. The hosts were very friendly and provided us with everything from great tips for beaches and sights to discover to food for our first meals in the house. We truly felt at home there and were on our own for most of the time (the hosts have another flat in the same building). The property is protected by three well-behaved dogs that stay in the orchard outside the gate. The kitchen is reasonably equipped to prepare your own meals.
We stayed during a hot period in July (30-35°C) and split our days between the pool, which is great also for kids that can or are learning to swim, and visits to Modica, Syracuse, Noto, Taormina, Catania and the beaches on the east shore of Sicily. Each of these destinations is a 40-75 drive and therefore great for (half) day trips. I think this combination works best for this place. You definitively need a car. The center of Scordia is only a few minutes away and has supermarkets and restaurants and a nice piazza without any tourist crowds.
We will be back!
