This rustic and charming house is perched on an escarpement and offers sweeping views north to the hulking Mt. Etna and east down to the sea. The house remained comfortable even in 40C temperatures with the air conditioning. The location is ideal and you can easily visit the towns of Syracuse or Noto or visit the beaches by Vendicari or Marzamemi, which are among of the best in Italy. The town of Cassibile, which is a 10 minute drive from the house, has a few good restaurants and the very elegant Bar Valentino, which has excellent prepared foods. Grazie is a wonderful host and check-in and communication could not have been easier. Highly recommended!
