We stayed at Villa Gioia for a week and would thoroughly recommend a visit here! From start to finish our interactions with Riccaardo were great, he was very welcoming and made us feel at home in the Villa, as well as providing information in the run up to our arrival.The villa itself is beautifully presented and has everything you need - special thanks to Riccardo for the welcome basket, and extra treats delivered throughout our stay! The location is perfect for exploring the Southern part of the island with most 'must-visit' destinations within either 30 mins-1 hrs drive, as well as having a few small eateries and cafes close by for days at the Villa. The villa is in a very secure location off road, behind two locked gates, making it feel safe and peaceful. A wonderful family holiday and a brilliant place to stay, thank you!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure hosting you and your adorable companion. You were all such delightful and respectful guests. I truly hope to welcome you back to Villa Gioia soon! Your feedback means a lot to me. Best regards, Your Holidu Team.
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Gioia (2 adults, 1 child). Riccardo was a fantastic host, even leaving us a delicious bottle of wine to welcome us to the villa. The villa itself was spotless with everything we needed. We particularly loved the pool. It was a short walk to lovely beaches and has a kids playground just outside. I would absolutely recommend this property.
Villa Gioia was amazing! The property was even more beautiful than we were expecting, and stocked with everything we could need. Riccardo and Stefania were the perfect hosts. Communication was great, and the check-in process was very smooth. Riccardo greeted us with a welcome basket of goodies and a bottle of wine, and then he came back two days later with fresh croissants from the bakery. Amazing! Lastly, the pool was clean, great temperature and just perfect for our family. We would definitely stay here again!
Firstly communication with Riccardo was brilliant, he responded very promptly to any questions.The villa is exceptional, Riccardo takes great pride in his property and it shows. The outside space is beautifully kept and the pool just lovely spent a lot of time in there. Inside the villa is again very well care for with everything you need for a lovely holiday. The bedrooms are spacious and beds very comfortable. The little touches made our holiday special Riccardo brought us beautiful Sicilian biscuits and breakfast croissants on our day of departure Will definitely return
This house is a real gem in Fontane Bianche. The pictures in the listing match the property accurately. We stayed for 4 nights but easily could have done double or triple that--this place is so quiet and comfortable. Very clean and well maintained. Our host, Riccardo had a bottle of wine and a basket of and a basket of breakfast pastries waiting for us and met us after hours with no issues. There isn't a ton of action in FB itself, but this is a great launch pad to see Siracuse/Ortigia, Noto, Modica/Ragusa, without all the driving/parking issues you will find in these more populated areas. There is a great pizza restaurant only about 5 minutes away, La Capannina, that is on par with anything you will find in Sicily and they do take out. As with most private hosted locations in this price range, the kitchen is small, so don't plan on preparing a 6-course meal here, lol. Also, as with all places you might stay in Italy, when you check in, make sure the hot water is turned on and operational (trust me). Also note, the pool is not heated so plan on coming in the Summer if warm water is your thing. All-in-all, would definitely stay here again! Thanks Riccardo

Wunderschöner Urlaub
Pros: Riccardo ist ein unglaublich toller Gastgeber, der jederzeit erreichbar war. Alle zwei Tage kam er vorbei, um den Pool zu reinigen und den Müll wegzubringen. Das Haus ist zu 100%, wie auf den Bildern zu sehen! Es war es ein wunderbarer Urlaub zum Entspannen!
Ein Mietwagen ist hier empfehlenswert.
Cons: Einzig die Lage bekommt einen Stern Abzug, da in dem kleinen Örtchen nicht allzu viel los ist.. ein paar Tante-Emma/ Touri-Shops, eine überteuerte Bar und wenige Restaurants. Der Strand ist recht klein.
