We stayed 3 nights at franscesco's and it was absolutely wonderfull. The house is spacious, clean and has everything you need. We loved to see the sun come up in the morning from the open windows. The house is in a very quiet village which means we had the beach almost to ourselves. By car easy to see highlights like syracuse and noto. We arrived in the evening, franscesco arranged that his parents welcomed us. Very nice people, very welcoming. Fransceco stayed close in touch which was very nice. Highly recommended!
