This is a spacious, clean home in a very rural setting but is not isolated and the local town of Ferla is great and has useful shops ( we found a very good coffee shop/restaurant Bar4Canti with delightful staff.) The pool is a good size and the whole property is surrounded by lovely olive trees, crab apples etc and many beautiful succulents ..... all overlooking a marvellous wooded and rocky valley. We were able to visit local towns and even the coast at Noto on leisurely day trips from the villa and the wonderful local archaeological site of Pantalica is nearby as are several walks through the Forestry Regions. As is usual in rural settings there are sometimes barking dogs and the cockerels crowing ....lots of magpies , the swallows , butterflies galore etc etc - all a delight.
