This studio is simply amazing. We rank this beautiful accomodation 10 (out 10) for its location, comfort, aesthetic and host. We stayed for 2 weeks and did not want to leave!
The studio is a self contained building that is luxuriously appointed and lies within the estate of an ancient and lovingly restored masseria. As part of the masseria, the studio is safely located behind a gated entrance and provides privacy and a wonderful garden where we frequently enjoyed aperitivo and dinners under one of the beautiful olive trees.
Inside, the studio has high celings with exposed wooden beams. The interior design is contemporary yet homey as well as bright and airy. The pictures on Airbnb understate how beautiful this place really is.
The studio is furnished with all required modern amenities. We had a fully equipped kitchen with induction stove, wine cooler, Nespresso machine, fridge, oven, along with all else that is needed for enjoying home cooked meals. The kitchen also features a comfortable dining table.
The bathroom is spacious and has a great shower. Adjacent to the bathroom is a large walk-in wardrobe which is especially useful for longer stays.
The livingroom/bedroom has a flat screen TV and a large, comfortable bed furnished with high quality linens. This room also has both air conditioning and a ceiling fan; this was extremely useful and greatly appreciated as we visited in August 2021 when Sicily experienced record breaking heat!
The studio is located less than 5 minutes from Plenmiro beach and circa 20 minutes from Fontane Bianche, Lido Di Noto and the best calas in the area. We also visited various other amazing beaches that were all within a convenient drive from our masseria. For culture, restaurants and evening entertainement Siracusa and Noto are a circa 20 and 30 minute drive away. For us, these two towns are amongst the most beatiful in Italy!
Our host Angelica and her husband Corrado are from Siracusa and Noto, respectively and were not only warm and welcoming but also advised us on all the local attractions, restaurants, gelaterie, pasticcerie, and places to visit. They went above and beyond to ensure that we could have an unforgettable experience of Sicily.
This area is full of amazing natural beauty, ancient architecture, wonderful and welcoming people and out of this world culinary treats.
Also the lovely Marites, who works in the estate, has made herself available and helpful throughout our stay.
Thank you Angelica and Corrado, We can’t wait to be back! :)
