Carmela's place is perfectly situated if you want to explore the south-east region. Syracuse, Noto and Ragusa are close by, as are many other cute towns. Many supermarkets not to far away, althought you need a car to get around town. The place itself is small but all you need is there, and it is very clean. The washing machine was a big surprise. The pool was really cold early October, that was not such a nice surprise as our little one was looking forward to lots and lots of swimming. Carmela is a lovely host, and we spend a wonderfull holiday at her place. Grazie mille!
