"Our room was very musty smelling our entire stay even with the air conditioning on! "

"We had a lovely stay! Food, accommodation and staff were lovely and so accommodating. Hotel concierge were so helping with making recommendations and booking taxis. "

"The accommodation suited us very well (family with 2 teenagers) - we were on holiday during a hot August, so the large pool was really fantastic, as well as the air con in the 2 bedrooms & the bbq/terrace for outdoor cooking. Alessandro is a very lovely host - he & his family were super welcoming and made us feel at home. Very helpful with recommendations for places to eat, where to buy food, beaches to visit and all the local attractions. We loved their dog and cats too! This was our first visit to Sicily and we were surprised, at first, with all the beaches that are 'private beach clubs' during the summer (we are from the UK, where most beaches are free). We opted for the 'free beach' which in the month of August, gets a little busy on the small parts/ends of the beach that are not private! However, Alessandro gave us some AMAZING suggestions for beaches & swim spots that were not too busy & away from the beach clubs and sunbeds. Just take a parasol and a picnic & you'll be very happy! You do need a car in Sicily. Highlights of our trip were: *Treking to natural freshwater pools - lovely and cool, in a beautiful setting in Cavagrande del Cassibile *A trip up Mount Etna (it was 5 degrees up top..take a jumper/hat/coat) *Spiaggia naturista di Marianelli (no - not a nudist beach! It is a nature reserve) *Boat trip with snorkelling, paddleboards and lunch (ask Alessandro!) *Ortigia *Drinking granita to cool down! *Aranchini - yummy! Great hols, grazie mille! "

"We really enjoyed our stay here, Andrea the host was amazing and was always available offer advise regarding the local area. The villa itself well equipped and the Swimming Pool was perfect. It’s bigger than it looks. It was about a 15 min drive to Syracuse and Ortigia that offers many restaurants and places to see. I would fully recommend this villa / host. "

"Enjoyed a wonderful week at this lovely property not far from Syracuse and in a great location for exploring this beautiful part of Sicily. The apartment itself has been beautifully restored to a high standard with comfortable bedrooms a great living area and was very clean and functional. There is a lovely outside area and fantastic pool which the kids loved. The host, Alessandro was wonderful and welcoming - he gave us lots of useful information about the local area and was always on hand if we needed anything during our stay. Overall, I would recommend this lovely property for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat close to Syracuse and within easy reach of local sandy beaches."

"A really wonderful property, 15 minutes from Syracuse, that offers everything you could want in a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere with incredible attentive staff that make the stay feel truly 5-star. I'd highly recommend, and would love to return."

"Relaxing, quiet atmosphere. With spacious rooms "

"There were things we've appreciated, such as friendly host, who tried his best to help us, cheerful dog and cheap price. However the list of disappointing things is much longer. The biggest problem was dirty towels with black spots, which looked like it fell on the floor. Midsize towels were almost clean, but two big towels had a significant dirt. The toilet had a leak, so the host asked us to close the input valve after every use of the toilet. These two problems must be fixed before hosting anyone, but a few other issues I'd like to mention below. There were rust in the bathroom, the drain was dirty and after taking a shower the water leaked from shower cabin. We've stayed during winter and to hear cold room we've used Air conditioner. However it produced a screaming noise every couple hours which woke up us in the middle of the night, when we complained the host said it's normal. Hair dryer was also dirty and sticky to touch, we assume it had never been cleaned before. The room smell bad as if someone smoked inside some time ago. We appreciated to meet the host personally and we hope our feedback can improve the accommodation in the future."

"The accommodation is perfect. Every bedroom is a good size, each has a TV with Netflix, and all proper double beds. The kitchen is perfectly equipped, and the welcome package contained really useful and sensible things like spaghetti and passatta, wine amongst other things. Definitely the most thought through and generous welcome hamper/ package I have experienced. The living area is perfect, with a big table, comfy couch and TV with PS4 which has decent games with it if the kids need down time. The two bathrooms are as required, and good. Everything indoors is well thought through for families staying. Iron, ironing board, washing machine, dishwasher etc - all easy to use and work. The pool area is excellent, and the pool itself is also excellent. It has a deep and shallow end, and our 7 year old was more than OK in it. There are some inflatables/ pool toys that can be used which was a bonus. There is a side area for outdoor cooking which is a good bonus, but we did not use it. The location is a 20 minute drive into Syracuse. If you stay here, you must have a car. There are no shops/ restaurants within walking distance (I think). Fabrizio is the most attentive host I have experienced. The PS4 was playing up and he came to check it and sort it. The gas had run out for hot water, so he went straight to get it refilled and was back in 15 mins. Communication beforehand was perfect and plentiful. If you think this place will suit your needs, it definitely well. Brilliant!"
