Villa Falaride

Great property amenities and hosts!

Property was awesome with an exceptional view.Hists are great and very helpful

We did not realise when we booked that no toilet paper could be flushed ( septic tank) Apparently this is quite common in Sicily. We had to empty all used toilet paper into the organic waste bin outside. The owners lived next door and were on hand for any issues. The access road to the property was very narrow but fairly short, a small car would be preferred for access reasons. The WIFI was not adequate for us to stream a film.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Falaride! Our hosts, Angela and her husband were lovey and happily accommodating to our needs before and during our stay (Angela and her husband both speak very good English). When we arrived at the property, they were there to greet us with a warm and spirited introduction and tour of their beautiful home and property, perched on the sea. They also took time to orient us to the places we wanted to visit and local restaurants to enjoy. The home and property were immaculate and comfortable. Being lulled to sleep by the sound of the ocean was dreamy, and because we wanted to enjoy cooking, we found the kitchen well equipped, although several of the teflon pans were badly scratched and therefore unable to use. There is a hot tub, but if you intend to use it, let them know in advance because it takes a while for it to heat up and we missed an opportunity to use it. The property was perfectly located within close driving distance to Siracusa, Ortigia, Noto, Ragusa and Modica. I highly recommend this beautiful property if you are intending to visit southeastern Sicily!

Very nice place. Clean and quiet. Space and comfortable. Parking for car available. See a front of the house. Beautiful view. Not much of loud tourist around. Very safe place and most important no garbage around as in another places in Sicily. A lot of possibilities to visit great historical places around. Nice restaurants in Avola and places nearby. But car is the must. Salvatore and Angelawho is owning the place are best ever we met. What makes this place unique are the owners

Excellent! This rental property is at the ocean end of a 3-unit building (the unit nearest the narrow street is owner-occupied). The bedrooms are very nice, each with its own washroom (and there’s another washroom on the main level). You will love having meals overlooking the sea! If mosquitos are attracted to you bring spray for the evenings. Buy fresh fish at Pescheria Puglisi. The spa is not heated but was warm thanks to the sun. Easy day trips from Avola to Siracusa/Ortigia and Noto. Our hosts were very helpful with recommendations.

True to photos and description, this place is a gem that can’t be beat! The peaceful atmosphere and the warmth from the owners was a joy; just what we needed. Wineries, amazing cuisine and views are all accessible when you stay here. The privacy and gated home also makes for a safe and efficient space as well. The only advice I would pass along to any new traveler is go for the small car! Not only for the community roads but for parking and navigation throughout Sicily! You’ll be thankful you did! Coffee on the balcony and refreshing dips in the spa, you’ll never forget the sounds and sights that the ocean brings. A sweet secret retreat, you’ll plan for your next stay here, I know we are!

Wonderful hosts, villa was perfect for our family. My husband and I and our 2 adult sons had a great time. Welcome snacks were great after a long day travel. Restaurant recommendations were awesome. Beautiful yard over looking the water was nice and relaxing. Thanks for a great vacation!
