The villa exceeded our expectations in every way - it's a pretty big and comfortable house, with fully equipped kitchen (Mariuccia was so hospitable and kind, and she also left us snacks for breakfast, orange jam, cooking oil and basically everithing you might need right away). There is a terrace with magnificent sea view, suited for breakfasts and lunches, and great veranda with a garden view for romantic dinners. Sea is a couple hundred metres away, but there are no beach nearby, although you can easily find a place to swim from the rocks (just don't forget special swimming shoes, you find a lot of use for them on Sicily anyway). There are also a summer shower, barbecue and even a table for ping-pong, also - very big parking space. Villa is 15-20 minute drive from the centre of Syracuse, so the road is relatively long, but not that hard (we drove every day without problem). There are a grocery store 5-minute drive away, but the good one (Lidl) in 15-minute drive. One important thing - villa has 2 floors, and the upper floor has a different owner, that also rents it. So the parking would be a common space, but they have a different entrance to the house. At first we were bummed out, because on the next day the other guests arrived (and we quite liked our privacy), but in total we've seen them like 2 or 3 times after a whole week, and barely heard them upstairs, so it wasn't a problem. All in all, it's one of the best places we've been through AirBnB, couldn't recommend it enough.
