Valentina was a wonderful host. She and her husband greeted us warmly on our arrival, helped us with our luggage and gave us tips on staying in the area. She was also incredibly responsive when we contacted her during our stay. For example, one time we ran out of gas and I sent a text message asking what to do. Within two minutes we had an answer and I had switched the gas bottles over (a very easy task). Thank you for your help Valentina.
The flat is just as described. It is well equipped and comfortable. Terraces onto the garden are lovely and shady. We thought the location was very special. Sea view, quiet, but shop and bar a short walk, swimming and snorkelling from the rocks just two minutes walk, a beautiful sandy beach 5 minutes drive and Siracusa a very easy ten minute drive to a very good and cheap car park from which you could walk anywhere in the centre. Wonderful.
