We're just back from a wonderful 13 day stay in Gabriella's lovely house. It's location is super and the view from the terazza is amazing,especially at night. We spent many restful evenings there sipping wine and enjoying the views of Chiesa Santa Maria la Nova, San Matteo and the lights of Scicli.
It's just a 5-minute stroll to the heart of the old town and close to many beaches.It is also a handy drive to Ragusa, Modica,Noto and Siracusa,all of which we visited during our stay.
Everything you need for self-catering is available. We BBQed several nights.
As mentioned before, there are quite a few steps to climb to get to the house and the house itself in on three levels so it wouldn't suit someone who has difficulty with mobility but we loved it as it compensated for all the holiday overeating ! and provided the lovely views already mentioned.
Gabriella wasn't there during our stay but was very easy to contact via email and responded promptly to any queries we had.
We felt very at home in the property and the area is really safe with a strong sense of community.We found everyone we met very helpful and friendly despite of the language barrier.
Note that the is no rubbish collect at the house but you just bring it with you when you head out in the car and there are loads of road side drop points for bottles, plastics, paper and general rubbish. There are also recycle bins close to most of the beaches. We used the ones at Marina di Modica and Cava d' Aglia
