We are a group of women who travel together and this year we chose Sicily. Cavali di Sole is the perfect place for either a group or a family to choose for both exploration of the area and relaxation. I feel like going through all of the great features of the house but there is not space here. Ornella is lovely, charming and patient! The grounds and the house are just as stunning as the photos. The pool and washing facilities a huge bonus. There was more than enough space for five plus. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools and basics that allowed us to cook from the fresh fish and produce we purchased in nearby Siracusa market and a grocery store is only 5 minutes away. There are enough bedrooms and bathrooms (4!) for privacy, as well as a gorgeous solarium, family room, living room and rooftop area. Fruit and flowering trees surround the house. Need a lemon or lime? Basil? Simply step outside. There is generous hot water. Air conditioning in all the bedrooms. It is a very comfortable and charming vacation home. The only cautions I would give are 1) the WiFi is spotty. This is a location problem, not a problem with the owner. My satellite service was spotty as well. 2) you do need a car. This is a bonus actually, because driving is easy and there are so many places to visit nearby 3) the downstairs bathroom needs extra care. It cannot be rushed as the tank is slow to refill. This is not really a problem as there are many other options. It is a country house so have patience and you will be rewarded. Loved it here. Would go back in a heartbeat (and probably will).
