When we were greeted by three generations of Alice's family, we knew we would be in for a treat! Her tastefully decorated house and spacious patio set in an immense garden competed with the sights of Syracuse - a comforting feeling of being "home". A short walk to the turquoise waters of the Plemmirio Marine Reserve - no sand but rock pools with crystalline sea, the house is ideally located for nature lovers. I would recommend a car as most of Syracuse's ancient monuments are on the other side of the town - there is, however, a bus service to the centre.
Alice and her family were very helpful and considerate - the ultimate hosts.
Our one regret? Or two....1.: Leaving so soon 2. Not bringing our bicycles!
Thank you once again and hope to see you on our return!
Nilufer and family
