Comfortable, functional house with a lovely outdoor area and very close to a beautiful, long sandy beach - with a wonderful host! We (family of 3 with a 1 year old) were warmly welcomed by Mariangela with all sorts of delicious treats from the region, and she was very communicative and accommodating throughout our two week stay. We chose the house because of the nice outdoor area, which was perfect for us. The location of the house is great: very close to the beach, and a perfect base from where to explore Scicli, Modica, Ragusa, Cava d'Ispica, Vendicari, Syracuse, etc. Because of the weather we did not have a chance to try the wonderful outdoor kitchen, but we hope to be back with friends one day so we can enjoy the pizza oven and special grill. You pay a supplement for the baby bed but do get a proper wooden cot with good mattress and linens - well worth the money. Thank you Mariangela for everything, and we hope to be back!
