Bellisimo! Mario was a wonderful host and very easy to get in touch with before arrival and once at the destination. His home is stunning and might be my new "dream vacation home"! We actually ended up staying in his villa upstairs from this one listed – he kindly offered it to us as it would be more comfortable for this time of year and no one had booked it. I would imagine this downstairs villa is as gorgeous as the upstairs.
Views of the ocean, well-designed and decorated, spacious, perfect layout, lots of outdoor space, an easy walk to the beach (sadly we weren't there during the warm weather to take full advantage of this), well-equipped kitchen, clean bathrooms – all made our stay here wonderful.
It's also a great place as a homebase for travel to Syracuse to the northeast and then to Avola and Noto/Ragusa/Modica south and west.
And his Mom made us the most delicious cake! Would highly recommend this place to anyone and I can only imagine it's perfection in the warmer summer months for a beach getaway.
