We stayed for more than a week at Lino's stone house in the countryside just outside of Siracusa.
Lino is a fantastic host, who is very caring and always going extra effort to show us the highlights of Sicily. He showed us the closest supermarket, where he works, and told us his favorite beach spots and events on the island. At the same time he always left us in our privacy and it was up to us whenever we needed something.
The stone house itself has everything you will need (incl. Wifi, Italian TV, fully equipped kitchen) and is very tastefully decorated. Also, it has private parking, access to the pool and to the garden that has multiple beautiful lemon trees.
We highly recommend to book a rental car: The location is a mere 10min drive into town (Taleggio parking in Ortigia), 3min drive to next large supermarket, 3min to auto highway (necessary for going to the beach, as Ortigia does not have any). The best beaches (e.g. Cala Mosche) can be reached within 30 minutes.
Thank you very much Lino! Grazie Mille!
