Casa Mavaria is an absolute joy. It is gloriously quiet and secluded, nestled amidst rolling hills, olive groves and vineyards, yet only minutes from supermarkets, the beach, and the baroque glories of Noto. The house itself is stunning, beautifully designed and full of gorgeous art. Bedrooms are large and comfortable, two of which come with bathrooms with powerful showers; the third is a brilliant mezzanine floor which was perfect for the kids. The large kitchen was perfect for whipping up breakfast or an evening meal to have on the large terrace outside. For us, though, the fabulous garden and pool area were the highlight of our stay. Even in early April the pool was a joy, and as others have mentioned it's perfect for a chilled glass of local wine with a glorious view of the sunset. Communications with Elena were brilliant throughout- any minor issues were dealt with immediately. What a stylish, creative and beautiful home it is; thank you so much for sharing your wonderful place with us!
