Home from home
Perfect location: the house is 200m from a sandy beach normally not overcrowded (OK on ferragosto, 15/8, there were lots of people but it is a bank holiday) and 500 m from a beautiful cove with sea caves and lots of snorkelling opportunities (and this was not even crowded at the weekends). It is also a convenient exploration point for the South-East corner of Sicily, heart of the Sicilian Baroque (Noto, Ragusa Ibla, Ispica, Modica, Scicli... ), the Montalbano places and unique sites like the Vendicari nature reserve and Pantalica.
Relaxing and homely: with three energetic boys I always worry about practical aspects... this house had it all: plenty of space for the washing and pegs (I had brought a few just in case), lots of plastic dinnerware and lots of kitchen utensils (again I brought some essentials in case – not needed), robust BBQ, built-in / sheltered outside shower. There is no kettle (a challenge for tea lovers like us), microwave or toaster. The TV is tiny but working well (unlike previous houses we had) and with a USB-ready digital box.
Safe: it has a clever alarm system, an electric gate, ample easy parking and lots of private outdoor space.
