We had a very relaxing, peaceful stay at Casa del Fico d'India. The surroundings are very pretty and Marco and Aurelia have created a lovely ambiance there. The little touches are most welcome; the courtyard is a beautiful place to relax, breakfast, read and sip some typical Italian coffee while watching the tiny resident lizards playfully chase each other up the tree! The pool is a good size for a short, relaxing swim, to wake you up or to cool down in after catching some rays in the adjacent courtyard. We really loved the aromas that wafted over from the lavender and rosemary bushes surrounding the pool courtyard. A perfect place to chill and read with only the dragonflies to keep you company.
Marco and Aurelia were very hospitable, helpful and friendly whilst also allowing us our space to enjoy a quiet retreat away from the bustle of the towns. The apartment is accessible from the motorway and down a country lane so is private but well located for visiting Siracusa, Noto, Avola and nearby beaches while also not that far from the historic, architectural delights of Ragusa and Scicli.
