Alfonso and Luisa were very helpful with maps and directions in advance, and they sent a text to welcome us and check everything was ok. We had a small difficulty with the gas bottle running out and Luisa was great - available at once with instructions of where to find the replacement and how to hook it up. They prepared the house really well for our toddler, even providing a stair gate which I hadn't thought to ask for! The house...wow, such a lovely house, much more spacious than the photos suggest, calm and beautifully but unpretentiously decorated. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking; the double bed is firm and SUPER comfy; the aircon is a blessing on sticky nights when the mosquitos just won't be discouraged. And the outdoor spaces are just gorgeous, with views of hills, Noto twinkling in the distance, a grove of lemon, olive and almond trees, deck chairs set out to catch a breeze. Perfect for staying put, or for exploring the area. Don't miss the mosaic floors at the Villa Tellaro, the garden cafe down by Vendicari, nor the unspoilt beach at Cittadella.
