We spent 2 weeks here in June with grandparents and children, and it was absolutely perfect. The agent D was so helpful, he provided groceries upon our arrival and met us in town so that he could show us the location of the property. It is situated in the countryside about 1-2 miles outside of the small town of Floridia, the location is very quiet and peaceful with a wonderful pool, olive grove and citrus orchard. The house itself is simple but comfortable with air conditioning in every bedroom.
We found the location to be absolutely perfect for visiting Noto, Palazzolo Accreide, Caltagirone, Siracusa, Ortigia, Pantalica, Taormina and Etna. Everything is so close by and everywhere we went, people were so friendly and helpful.
There is a super market nearby and every evening we visited the gelateria Il Gabbiano in the central piazza, which is enjoyed by all the locals.
After spending the morning site seeing we often swam at the beach at Fontane Bianche, the Lido Sayonara has a wonderful fish restaurant on the beach which also serves fabulous pizza (especially the Mercato d'Ortigia). When visiting Pantalica we took the road from Ferla, parking at the end of the road, where we were able to hike down into the gorge and swim in the river. Along the road home we stopped for a late lunch at the Agriturismo PortPantalica. Don't miss a visit to the village of Buscemi where, from the museum the guides are happy to take you on a private tour of the village, visiting all of the original dwellings of the local artisans, farmers and laborers. In Ortigia, the fish restaurants along the ocean are great for watching the sunset but within a small piazza you'll find the Taberna da Sveva full of locals.
This house is a true gem in the middle of a spectacular part of Sicily. I hope we can visit again.
