We spent a very pleasant week at this holiday home. Salvo met us in Pachino at our arrival, although it was late in the evening, to show us the way to the villa. In the morning we had the pleasure to meet his family and get a thorough visit of the grounds. As it was end of season, we had this fantastic place all for ourselves. The apartment is as described, it is large, clean and functional, the pool really nice, and there is a clean sandy beach just in front of the house - quite a luxury, in fact. The nearest supermarket is in Portopalo at just 1,5 km, they have everything you need. A car is necessary for visiting the beautiful baroque and historic towns in the area: Ragusa, Modica, Noto and Siracusa - almost an overdose of beauty! Our host gave us a list of interesting places and good restaurants, there are plenty in the area. Maybe we were lucky, but the weather was still pleasantly warm in the middle of October and in addition to the interesting historical towns, we enjoyed some true "farniente" by the pool and on the beaches. We would not hesitate to recommend this holiday home to other travellers.
