We are staying for the 3rd time in Sicily and have seen many houses here - in which we have lived and where our friends lived. Most of Italian houses are very old inside with very old furniture what is of course very interesting to see but not too comfort to live in it. This house is very light, with modern furniture and the bathroom is equipped with all new furniture and technics.
And fruit trees in the garden - children always ate apricots and plums from the trees what have them so much fun !)))
Beach (Lido Fontane Bianche ) is 5 minutes walk ( even with 3 kids who are always slowing your way )) ).
On the beach you can rent for reasonable price sunbed and umbrellas and you can find here nice beach restaurant and a lot of ice cream what is very important for kids )))
We have seen many beaches here and I wouldn't recommend to look for other - all is very fine here.
Siracusa is very close from here - you can go there everyday for supper.
Also Noto is 30 minutes from here - nice city to visit.
Also 1.5 hours away from here Sicily outlet. Taormina and also 1.5 hours away.
Ragusa - 1 hour.
We have stayed for 1 month and never had a question where to go in the evening.
