A huge thank you to Alicia and Georgio. Our initial reservation with another host was cancelled 2 days before. Upon receiving our email they immediately responded. So EXCELLENT Communication. Also Georgio and Alicia were so friendly and a gave us a great welcome to their house. They are super sweet and accomodating. The water pump broke during our stay and they were on it right away to get it fixed.
The house was great, clean and convenient. The residential neighbourhoud is quiet except for the crazy dogs next door, but that was entertaining. The property is surrounded by a wall with a locking gate. The outside kitchen is fabulous although we were there in winter and could not really take advantage of it. That's OK, we were able to enjoy the fireplace. Sorry Georgio.. I think we burnt a lot of wood! Finally Siracusa is a great place to visit for a few days. The atmosphere is very pleasant, lots of shops, historical sites etc. Don't miss the market on Wednesday mornings. Absolutely need a car if you are going to stay at the villa. There is not much within walking distance. Siracusa is about 10 minutes away and is done easily. So all in all, it was a great little house. Once again,Mille grazie per tuttti!
