Francesco and his wife were the friendliest hosts!
Communication was excellent prior to our arrival and we were then welcomed with a selection of complimentary local products and a list of pro tips of places to visit and recommendations for local restaurants. Great touch!
The villa is an absolute dream; spacious and beautifully designed, equipped with top notch appliances and just brimming with light. The star of the house, however, is undoubtedly the swimming pool in the front porch, a total delight where you’ll want to stay all day and evening long... If only!
The location is also super practical – far enough from the city centre that you can avoid the hustle and bustle of local traffic, but still ridiculously close (a 10min drive) so you can roll out of bed and visit some of the most breathtaking sites and monuments. Do visit the archaeological park and the island of Ortigia, it’s certainly worth all the fuss. The villa is also conveniently located close to some of the most concurred sandy beaches of the region.
This place gets an 11/10 from me. My only complaint is that we couldn’t stay any longer!
