Serena's house is wonderful, we had a very pleasant stay there. The terrace is big and looking out over the sea. There's also a very big private garden we could use. All the utilities are there. The house is a 15 min. drive from Siracusa and I would highly recommend renting a car to visit surrounding towns and beaches. There are also some very nice snorkelling and diving areas at walking distance from the house. I would definitely recommend the house to friends and family and hope to come back there myself!
