The pool is amazing. As described the house is located in a beautiful but remote area. It is 18-minutes to the store, each way, up and down the hairpin curves of the mountain. We found the best beach was Eloro, Noto was fantastic for dinner, Marzameni for a cute fishing town visit, Siracusa only 35-minutes away. The hike to Cavagrande lakes was amazing but strenuous.
