We stayed at Alfonso's wonderful house for 6 nights and had an amazing time. The house is very nice with good furniture and a well equipped kitchen, even a dishwasher! The air conditioning worked well which was a godsend with temperatures in the mid 30s all week.

The house is in an amazing location, just across the road from The Vendicari nature reserve which can be seen from the front of the house, the drive from Catania was about 90 minutes. The road is very quiet and you will not be disturbed by the neighbours...the crickets are louder! Easy driving distance to all of the baroque cities and Noto had a good supermarket within 10 minutes drive.

The garden is the star of the show with incredible views of the Sicilian hills where the sun sets in the evening. Lots of garden furniture so we could choose where to sit and enjoy a bottle of wine. The pool is great for cooling down in the hot sun with deckchairs and parasols provided.

Alfonso was a great host and provided good instructions and recommendations where to visit and eat. He texted us to make sure we were OK and had everything we needed.

This is a great house and would make the perfect base for your holiday in Sicily.
