We loved our stay here, all the comforts of home in a wonderful location. The spacious villa had a great pool, an outdoor kitchen with barbecue as well as a beautiful beach near Hotel Minaret within easy walking distance and four or five local restaurants. Weâd love to stay here again.
Nice villa with privare pool and tennis court at 10-15 min drive from Sirucasa. Good and efficient contact with Enzo, the property manager. Very friendly home owner as well. We enjoyed our stay!
This is a fantastic place to stay with some great local beaches and restaurants. Getting shopping and into siracusa probably needs a car. The property has beautiful gardens and is quiet. It could do with some small investment to bring some of the facilities up to date but otherwise a great house with everything you need.
Finally the host Enzo and the owner Sebastian are excellent. Enzo is very helpful and has great local knowledge and is there to help if ever you need anything.
The Villa is great and is set in the most wonderful garden with a lovely large pool. Check in was smooth and Enzo very helpful. Midweek delivery of croissants was very appreciated especially as the nearest shop is a good 20 min walk and taxis are expensive. The sunset water taxi from the local restaurant to Ortigia was amazing (approx 15⏠each) There is a bus stop outside the villa but finding out where it goes wasnât easy. Several other restaurants nearby and a beautiful beach (with beach bar) with an incredible view.
We arrived late evening but the charming Enzo met us at the house and explained everything. There were basic provisions provided so we could make ourselves supper and then there was a wonderful bowl of fruit and some honey croissants for breakfast. A few local restaurants had closed for the end of the season but we could still walk to a couple which were good with lovely views across the bay to Ortigia. When Sebastiano came to clean the pool he brought us delicious fresh pastries which was a real treat. A few of the tennis racquets needed restringing but were fine for holiday tennis and the pool and garden are lovely. Lovely holiday!
On its own the villa is amazing. The outside space is lovely. The pool, tennis and patio area were all even better than the pictures.
The villa itself is fine. You will realy only be in it to sleep.
Area wise its a bit scrappy. The beaches within walking distance although perfectly fine are small and half taken up by private hotels.
There are some restaurants within walking distance and the pizza restaurant around the bay is great.
The supermarket is about 10-15 mins in the car, as is Syracuse. Its an easy drive. There isnt really anything in walking distance. The nearest place is a 25 min walk, which is along a road with no pavement, so i wouldnt recommend this villa if you do not have a car.
Enzo who manages the relationship is very helpful and provides lot of information. There was also some food provided which was great as our flight was delayed, and we couldnt getvto the super market. So really I cannot fault the place.
However...i was pretty upset to find with 2 days before check in, that electricity is being asked as an extra. at 40 cents a unit its not cheap either. For one week this added 80 EURO to the bill. Too be honest I can see why this is done, but I believe it should be on the listing. Vrbo wont do anything about it, so buyer beware.
Great location. Great place for family. The owner was very generous, he brought us croissants twice while we were there. The kitchen was stocked with essentials upon our arrival. Loved the pool and outdoor living space. Would definitely stay there again. Special thanks to Enzo for the hospitality and amazing communication!
Op een groot terrein staat een middelgroot huis. De ruime veranda met eettafel en zithoek, een groot zwembad met ligbedden, de tennisbaan en de mooi aangelegde tuin met veel bloeiende planten, je leeft de hele dag buiten.Binnen is de ruimte wat kleiner maar voldoende voor zes mensen. Alles is aanwezig al ik de keuken en het sanitair wat verouderd. Maar dat heeft ons niet gestoord.Ontvangst door Enzo was geweldig, er was al een guime voorraad drinken en eten aanwezig om zodat we niet gelijk naar de supermarkt moesten. Voldoende restaurantjes aanwezig in de buurt, maar een auto wel nodig. Loop een keer de wandeling bij Fonte Ciane, zie websie Komoot! Binnen is
Tolles GrundstĂŒck, schönes Haus, fĂŒr jeden etwas dabei
Ein wunderschöner Urlaub, groĂzĂŒgiges Haus, riesiges GrundstĂŒck, toller Pool und Tennisplatz. FuĂlĂ€ufiger kleiner Strand, tolle Anbindung an Syrakus, Noto, Cava Grande etc. Platz fĂŒr Erholung und Action. Bei Ankuft und zwischenzeitlich gab es immer wieder leckere Ăberraschungen des Besitzers. Sehr empfehlenswert!
Lovely large villa, great pool and gardens. Although semi detached no one lived at the other property so had whole place to ourselves. Lovely beaches nearby. You need a car to travel around, nearest large supermarket is about 10 minute drive.
Grosses liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus, grosser Garten, grosse sonnige Terrasse, grosser Pool; alles sehr sauber, gewisse Dinge etwas in die Jahre gekommen (Badezimmerarmaturen, Duschbrause, aber alles funktionstĂŒchtig). Der Hausverwalter und der Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, alle Probleme wurden schnell behoben! Das Haus liegt auf einem grossen GrundstĂŒck, es ist kein LĂ€rm von der Strasse hörbar.
Wichtig zu wissen:
- in der NĂ€he des Hauses hat es in Gehdistanz einen kleinen Strand, der aber nur ĂŒber eine Treppe erreichbar ist, keine weitere Infrastruktur wie Dusche o.Ă€. am Strand.
- der grössere Strand, etwas weiter entfernt, aber immer noch zu Fuss erreichbar, ist leider wegen Steinschlaggefahr gesperrt - alle weiteren StrÀnde nur per Auto erreichbar!
- Einkaufsmöglichkeiten - auch fĂŒr Cornetti/FrĂŒhstĂŒck oder FrĂŒchte - nur per Auto erreichbar
Trivsam, rymlig villa med allt som behövs. Pool och tennisbana gjorde vistelsen extra trevlig. Liten strand pÄ gÄngavstÄnd. Mycket fin Arenella-strand ca 10 min med bil.
Hyrbil krÀvs för att ta sig runt men det finns en hel del sevÀrt i nÀromrÄdet. Siracusa, Neapolis, Noto och Etna Àr alla vÀrda ett besök.
We were a group of 5 friends staying in this villa in Sept, so much space and such a beautiful setting! The pool is the perfect space to enjoy the Sicilian sunshine, with shady spots for when it gets too hot! If you can pull yourself away from the amazing pool then youâre walking distance to 3 amazing beaches - the closest having fantastic views of the beautiful sunset. Thereâs also a couple of restaurants in walking distance, one of which runs a water taxi over to Syracuse and hires boats for the day. Great location if you have a car and want to explore the south of the island, Vincenzo gave us some amazing recommendations as well! Would highly recommend to any group or family.
The layout is good and there is enough space. It needs a lot of fixing and cleaning.
Dirty and run down in bathroom kitchen and tiles outside. We left a long list of what needs to be fixed and replaced. Two mattresses got changed on our departure date but there is still a lot which needs to done. Especially when it comes to cleaning! Shower not working, Toilet broken - way over priced for the condition the house was in. Owner very friendly but that does not help when the rest is bad.
The house is great and well located next to a beach (5min walk) and an even more outstanding 15min walk away!
The house is very nice and comfy, youâll find all you need for your trip.
This is a delightful villa. Well provisioned, very comfortable and well positioned for exploring south-eastern Sicily. The pool is superb and our granddaughter would have been happy to spend most of her holiday in it. The hosts were very attentive and we would highly recommend this property for any family.
We spent a wonderful week on this property. Vicenzo and Sebastian have been very helpful and responsive from check-in to check-out. We enjoyed the local eateries along the bay and thought the ferry service to Siracusa leaving from the marina was convenient as well as quite decadent. We also utilized the local taxi service for outings which worked well.
Finally, we also found a beautiful coastline within walking distance.
Nach einer herzlichen BegrĂŒĂung haben wir, als gröĂere Familie, wunderschöne Urlaubstage in diesem Ferienhaus verbracht. Der Pool war sehr gepflegt, der kleine aber feine Strand fuĂlĂ€ufig in 5 Minuten zu erreichen.
