Simona’s place feels like paradise. Lush gardens surrounds her carefully restored villa. The Orangerie with its beautiful interior design is a very special, peaceful place. We loved spending our days and evenings by the pool, even though Noto, Ragusa and some of the most beautiful beaches are just a short drive away. We won‘t ever forget the extravagant breakfast feasts which Simona prepared for us: home-made pear, lemon and orange marmelades, freshly brewed coffee, juices, a different home-made cake every morning...all this served in the former stable, now decorated with theatre props and collectibles. Simona and her husband are incredibly warm and friendly hosts, and we were so sad to leave. Highly recommended for art, nature, food and dog lovers!
