We had a fantastic week in early October in this lovely villa. As many reviews have stated, the sea view location is just stunning and we spent hours gazing out at it! I also enjoyed a swim there but do take beach shoes to navigate the rocks! There are fish galore, it's great for snorkelling but does have quite strong currents near the rocks so wise to be careful - I couldn't persuade the Mrs to try a dip!
The raised pool is really cool too, we whiled away late afternoons gently bobbing around it in the provided lilos - a great touch.
The villa itself is very comfortable with good WiFi and is really well equipped, not like some bare-bones accommodations...We didn't want for anything except a kettle, which Enzo quickly provided! He was a superb host, helping us with taxi booking (necessary if like us you arent driving as public transport seems pretty useless) and even kindly took us food shopping on our first morning, which was a massive help :-)
We were advised that Fontane Bianche would be almost deserted in early October but happily found that this was not the case ! Admittedly there were not many cafés or restaurants open but we did find some, and the amount of people on the beaches was just perfect in our opinion. Alongside superb weather, we think it was the ideal time to visit!
We visited nearby Siracusa and its pulsing old town Ortigia for a boat trip and lunch which was great, but the highlight trip for us was the baroque jewel of Noto - Such a gorgeous Sicilian town where we visited a renovated Palace, stunning cathedrals & churches and even witnessed a real-life wedding while we were there, watching with a gelato & glass of wine from a streetwise cafe...Could you get more Sicilian? We felt we were in a dream, or a movie :-)
Overall we would highly recommend a stay at Villa Claudia!

Thanks again Enzo!
