"Beautiful villa and extr...
"Beautiful villa and extremely welcoming hosts... would definetly recommend... extremely nice and peacful surroundings, this is the ideal holiday villa."
We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Ludovica. We were with a group of 8 friends. Francesco and Ilaria were very helpful for recommendations in the neighborhood, but also very discrete around the villa. Would definitely recommend, thanks!
We had a great family vacation. Making full use of the pool and padel court. Great base to go and visit Syracuse. Local food and drink was very well priced. Accommodation was comfortable, the kitchen a little smaller than it appeared in photos but perfect for 5 people. The hosts were super helpful and accommodating, great help finding food on our arrival (late on Easter Sunday) and flexible around schedule.
I’ll recommand the Villa Ludovica, Francesco have done everything to make us comfortable and arrange us. He even find a at home massage service for us.

Nicolas et ses amis, excellents locataires, seront toujours les bienvenus à la Villa Ludovica!
We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Ludovica and got to know Ilaria and Francesco as very good hosts.
Our requests and inquiries (tips/recommendations for the area) were answered and processed very quickly.
The house is located in a quiet area and is ideal for a family/friends vacation, especially with children. The outdoor area invites you to relax and do sports, and you can also have breakfast on the terrace or linger in the evening.
We are happy to recommend this accommodation.

Perfect hosts/less perfect house if you’re many people
Ilaria and Francesco are very nice, welcoming and helpful.
We were 9 people which starts to be a bit too much for the house, since there is only one shared bathroom (there is another one but not inside the apartment).
The kitchen equipment also has limits.
Still, the stay was nice!

Villa Ludovica is a family-run holiday home, certainly suitable for families where there are 2 bathrooms, a bathroom in the apartment and a comfortable bathroom and much appreciated because it is close to the swimming pool, the outdoor kitchen and the garden, because you avoid going up to home to go to the bathroom when you are in the pool or in the garden. As for the kitchen equipment and equipment, there is everything you need, dishes, glasses, cutlery, pots, electric oven and microwave, blender, sandwich plate, mixer and much more ... anyway, as I always say to everyone, when something is missing, just ask, because we are always available to immediately resolve any request!
We had a fantastic time at this beautiful holiday home! A very special thank you to Francesco, who was an outstanding host from start to finish. He personally picked us up from the airport and brought us back always reliable and super friendly.On request, he even organized a massage at the house, which was a real highlight. Francesco was always available, extremely helpful with any questions, and just a truly kind and professional person.The property itself is set in a wonderful complex with plenty of things to do perfect for both relaxing and staying active. The large pool was well maintained and a real oasis. Especially convenient: A car was included, which gave us the freedom to explore the area at our own pace. Everything we needed was there.We can wholeheartedly recommend this holiday home and especially Francesco as a host. Thank you for everything.
The villa was as an oasis with all amenities in it: pool, ping pong table, fooseball, grill, terrace, ... We were an 8 people company of around 50 y.o. The facility comfortably accommodated our team. There were 3 bedrooms: 1 had 2 single beds and 2 bedrooms each had 1 queen size bed and one bulk bed (2-level beds). As a result, each of us had its own bed. All bedrooms located on the 2nd floor. There were 2 bathrooms and 2 kitchens (one on the upper floor (2nd floor) and one on the ground floor (1st floor). There was also 3(!) dining places - 2 on the upper floor (one outdoors on the terrace and one inside - in the kitchen) and 1 on the ground floor. There was a washer and dryer for clothes. No dishwasher.
Francesco greeted us on our arrival and together with his wife Ilaria, were always very amenable. We loved having the beautiful pool all to ourselves and though there are many other things available to us to use, we used the pool and table tennis as the weather was so hot. Plenty of seating and dining areas, with the upstairs balconies giving you stunning panoramic views of the area and mountains. All the bedrooms are air conditioned which was a blessing given the temperatures. The villa is a traditional basic setup and we were able to prepare beautiful meals (well my son and daughter-in-law did!) using locally bought produce. He even made traditional Sicilian pizza!
The villa is able to accommodate 9 due to the bunk beds in each bedroom but we didn’t need them. An excellent villa for all families, young and old. We went out for a few excursions though couldn’t wait to get back and jump in the gorgeous pool. Francesco cleans the pool daily and his wife Ilaria is on hand if you need anything.
I would highly recommend Villa Ludovica to anyone.

Samantha, her husband and children have been exemplary tenants, very polite and reserved. I congratulate you on your behavior during your stay at Villa Ludovica, leaving the place clean and tidy
Congratulations and thank you Samantha
Ilaria and Francesco are extremely welcoming hosts. When we arrived they showed us around their lovely villa, explaining the facilities and providing advice on local restaurants, supermarkets and places to visit. They are lovely people extremely hospitable making us feel instantly at home. During our stay they remained discreet.
The villa has excellent sports facilities with table tennis, tennis, swimming pool, hot tub and a padel court. Superb grounds with palms and olive trees surround the villa. There is plenty of private parking. Surrounding the pool there is a shower room and a variety of seating, loungers and table options available to choose from in and out of shade. The good sized pool is kept clean both inside and out. Francesco is very diligent in his pool and grounds maintenance. The villa is well furnished, in a quiet location with the balcony offering lovely views of the sunsets. Our party of four adults and two children enjoyed the plentiful facilities immensely. The villa is clean and well equipped. The air conditioning keeps the bedrooms cool. It was exactly what we expected from the photos and description. It was an excellent location to explore Siracusa, Ortygia , Noto and Fontane Bianche. The villa it is also not far from Catalina making it easy to reach Mount Etna.
If you are looking for great family holiday in Sicily you are in good hands here. We enjoyed it to the fullest and hope to come back in the future.

I was lucky enough to meet Donna and her family, special people, simple and discreet, who greatly appreciated all the services offered by Villa Ludovica. Receiving a review that is so beautiful, detailed but very true, repays us for all the sacrifices we make every day to make our renters spend a truly unique and special holiday. thank you Francesco and Ilaria

Inaccurate description of bathrooms
The owners are nice and welcoming and the pool is very nice. They use their son and/or Google translate for interacting with non-Italian speakers. The place is generally quiet expect after sunset when people play paddle ball in the adjacent courts. There are three ACs, one in each bedroom. There is an additional room that functions as kitchen, dinning room, and general seating area, and which has no AC. The biggest issue for us, and the one that made us leave the property two days before the planned date, was the location of two of the three bathrooms. There is one bathroom in the apartment that serves all three bedrooms. The other two bathrooms are literally outhouses. One full outhouse is by the pool and it requires you to get out of the apartment, go down a flight of stairs, and walk all the way around the property. There is no lock. The other half outhouse is next to the one I just described and is simply a pool shower with a curtain. The only reason we did not leave immediately upon arrival is that part of our group ended up arriving late due to flight delays, and for our family of four the one indoors bathroom was sufficient.
Magnifique !!!Superbe logement : Tout équipéClim - Cuisine - BBQ - Accès Padel - Piscine ...Accueil parfaitFrancesco est toujours disponible et très réactif pour quoique ce soit Je recommande vivementYohann
Sin ninguna duda, la mejor opción para descubrir Sicilia en familia. La villa es espectacular: amplia, cuidada al detalle y con todas las comodidades. La piscina, la terraza, la cocina exterior y el jacuzzi hacen que sea un auténtico lujo pasar tiempo en ella. Además, todas las habitaciones cuentan con aire acondicionado de última generación, algo que se agradece mucho en verano.Si además te gusta el pádel, este es tu sitio. La villa está junto al club de pádel gestionado por la propiedad, con unas instalaciones excelentes.Pero lo mejor de todo ha sido Francesco y su familia. Solo podemos darles las gracias por su hospitalidad y por estar pendientes de nosotros en todo momento. Incluso nos alquilaron su propia furgoneta para recorrer la isla y nos hicieron el traslado desde el aeropuerto de Palermo, un detalle excepcional que demuestra el cariño con el que tratan a sus huéspedes.La ubicación es perfecta para visitar la costa este y sur de Sicilia, incluyendo Siracusa, Noto, Marzamemi, Catania, Taormina o el Etna.Nos vamos con un recuerdo maravilloso y con la certeza de que, si volvemos a Sicilia, volveremos aquí. Absolutamente recomendable.
Very nice and accomodating host. Couldn’t be better.Overall great. Missed some basic stuff like wine glasses and dishwasher. But this is minor.The place can be highly recommended and is great value for money. Fantastic outdoor area.
Francesco è stato fantastico, sempre pronto ad aiutare e dare consigli sulla propria regione/città.La villa è favolosa, eravamo in 8 e siamo stati veramente bene!Super consigliato!!

Grazie Adrian, sei una persona fantastica e complimenti a tutti i tuoi amici. Villa ludovica sarà sempre a vostra disposizione ❤️
Het huis was ruim en het zwembad was perfect qua temperatuur. De uitleg van de host was in begin wat snel en sommige zaken niet uitgelegd maar de host was goed bereikbaar en lost het snel op.
Ein Ort zum Verlieben. Das Haus ist nicht modern, aber gemütlich. Pool und Padelplatz sind super, die Gastgeber wahnsinnig freundlich.Wir hatten eine gute Zeit.
Accueil au top, une gentillesse, et une disponibilité incroyable. En plus on a pu jouer au pádel avec les enfants des proprietaires qui sont professionnels de pádel un must. Piscine et plongeoir, BBQ, terrasse et la dolce vita de la Sicile. A conseiller urgemment .
Die Unterkunft ist toll. Es war alles sauber, das Haus sehr großzügig und toll angelegt. Der Pool ist das Highlight. Mit 12 Meter Länge kann man gut schwimmen und das Sprungbrett war für die Kinder super. Der Paddle Court war das i Tüpfelchen. Wir haben jeden Abend gespielt. Ilaria und Francesco waren tolle und sehr herzliche Gastgeber. Wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefühlt
Je suis partie en famille pour un long week-end dans cette magnifique villa..Nous avons passés un super moment.. nous avons visité les alentours les plages sont transparentes et propres..Merci beaucoup à Francesco et Ilaria de leurs accueil et leurs services..Je recommande vivement cet endroit..

Der Aufenthalt in der Ferienwohnung war super. Die Wohnung und Außenanlagen waren sauber, ordentlich und mit allem nötigen ausgestattet. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter, welcher selbst mit in dem Haus wohnt, war problemlos. Francesco und seine Familie waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Er hat uns herzlich empfangen und direkt zu Beginn uns Tipps für Ausflüge und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gegeben.
