Exclusive villa, heated saltwater-pool, fireplace, WiFi, aircon, 8 pers.

The home was very clean, and the communication with the owner was excellent. It was very nice to be greeted with food and drink when we arrived. We had a 3 year old with us, and it is important to note that there are a lot of stairs, both inside and out. There are 4 bedrooms, although the attic room does have low sloped ceilings so head room can be an issue. Also, it doesn’t have a door, and my son found that he was awakened every morning by people in the kitchen. There were heavy rains, and the roof leaked which made the bed unusable. We let the owner know and hopefully it will be fixed soon as they are very responsive. The kitchen is very well equipped. We made most of our dinner meals there after full days exploring Sicily. The outdoor space is lovely, but the weather didn’t cooperate for us so unfortunately we didn’t get to take advantage of the pool or outdoor dining or relaxing. There is plenty of space to park cars, and the location is convenient for exploring east Sicily. However, you do need a car to go anywhere as there aren’t any shops or restaurants nearby. That also means that the property is very quiet, so it depends on personal preferences.

We were 5 adults, and we enjoyed very much our stay! The linen and towels were of very good quality, changed once a week. All was very clean. The kitchen was well equipped, and the swimming pool water always had good temperature.Antony used to come every early morning to uncover the pool and clean the garden. He was very kind. Alessandro the host was very nice too. There was a nice lunch waiting for us when we arrived!

nice property with sufficient süace for all of us

We were two families travelling together to Sicily. We found the Villa to be an amazing base, quiet and clean with a beautiful garden and a great pool with different depth levels (great for the kids). At the same time we were close to shopping, to Siracusa and within short distance to Noto and Fondo Bianche. The communication with the host was seamless and there was great flexibility even though we arrived slightly earlier than first anticipated. Also we were greeted with local delicacies, which made for a great first meal in Italy! During our stay Antony made sure that we got any help we needed and made us feel very welcome and at home! I would recommend this stay to everyone, as it really is a serene base for a great holiday.

Stunning Villa Ganesh We were 2 couples and 2 single friends The villa and the property are absolutely gorgeous. Not to mention the sparkling heated salt water pool.. Antony greeted us when we arrived and went over all the house rules, really not that many. To our surprise there was arincini and pizza from Carbé in Belvedere, plus beer and bottled water in the refrigerator. Antony was very helpful with collecting our recycling and emptying the trash. We stayed for 10 nights, there was a mid week light cleaning and towel change twice during our stay. The villa and the gardens have a lot of space for anyone to relax. We used the grill made from Mt Etna stone most evenings. Grocery stores are within a 10 minute drive and there is a pharmacy at the end of the road.

We had a wonderful stay at this property is Siracusa! The villa is immaculate with beautiful grounds and pool! You could enjoy your entire vacation without even leaving the villa!! The town of Siracusa and Ortigia are only 15 minutes away. Taormina and Catania are close as well! We would highly recommend this property to anyone!!

We had a great time at the Villa. Favorite parts were the gardens and pool. We loved the house and settled in but it has 3 levels so it was a little challenging to decide who slept where. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Great espresso machine. We were greeted with local Sicilian food, water and more! Antony who takes care of the house was fantastic. The outside eating area was perfect for our family. We had many questions along the way for Vincenzo our VRBO contact and he handled most well. There will be additional rules given when you get to the house that must be followed. I do not think it is good for small children- too many steps. It is located in the country, but not far from Ortigia and some great restaurants. Also, for some reason VRBO says 9 guests and it is only 8.

This property was exactly as described. We (my husband, our 5 adult children and I) were far enough from the city of Siracusa to relax in quiet and privacy but were also able to make day trips all over southern and eastern Sicily . We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

Top: beautiful hosts (Alessandro and Anthony) who made us feel at home. Concierge service from Anthony highly appreciated. Fantastic house, garden and pool. Surprise welcome lunch added a nice Sicilian touch to our arrival. Spacious house for two families to have a great time and co-exist. Less good: Disappointed to have ants in the home, particularly the basement rooms. Although not in the control of the owner, we were surprised to find that water was not drinkable and limits to sewage capabilities (toilet paper in bin). Location requires a car - no question.

Alessandro was extremely welcoming and gave us a detailed guided tour on arrival, including how to work the fantastic coffee machine. He had provided us with plates of local specialities so we didn’t have to shop on our first day. During the week we were very well looked after by Anthony who cleaned the pool and the BBQ every morning. The pool was heated to a very comfortable temperature so we could use it even though it was early in the season. Each room had beautiful decor and the villa is full of paintings and momentoes from the owner’s travels. We used the Mount Etna hot stone BBQ most evenings and the kitchen is very well equipped. The villa was very clean and there is enough space for family members to find a quiet spot if they need to on the verandah or in the landscaped gardens. There is a TV with Sky so we could watch sport and we also had ping pong and table tennis tournaments on the verandah. The location is great as it is a short drive to Ortigia. I would highly recommend for a party of adults looking for some peaceful luxury; a wonderful environment in which to spend quality time cooking and relaxing together.
