We were looking for a house in Fontane Bianche that would allow us to enjoy the beaches and Syracuse and this was the perfect spot. We were traveling with our two year old son and needed a kitchen. The yard was fenced which was nice and he enjoyed playing in the yard. It is traditional and no-frills, but in a beautiful Sicilian way. There is a partial sea view from the front porch and the bed was comfortable. In the neighborhood you can walk down to a pretty rocky beach area and it's a very short drive to the sandy beaches. Would recommend to families or couples. It is a quiet, safe, residential area. Good communication even though the host spoke no English and my Italian is limited- we felt welcome.
