The owners met us at the property and were incredibly helpful and friendly, showing us around and explaining the equipment. The spacious property is fully equipped and air-conditioned (a must, as average temperatures were around 35 degrees), with huge TVs and a separate TV room. It was spotless, with en-suite bedrooms featuring comfortable beds, and a lovely outdoor area with a swimming pool, barbecue, and an orchard of olive and pomegranate trees. There were plenty of chairs and sun loungers. Located in a quiet residential area, the beach and a few restaurants are within walking distance, and it’s just a 10-minute drive to a small village with sufficient (outdoor)restaurants, where you can dine with the locals. Lidl and other large shops are also nearby. There’s lots to see in the area, though the heatwave kept us from exploring much. Ortigia, Noto and Etna were definitely worth visiting (but skip the quad bikes). We had an amazing time in the pool!

There wasn't anything we didn't like, however if you enjoy going out, you'll need to drive, with the exception of a few local places (don't take the steak!).

We spent a wonderful week at Steven and Gail’s beautiful house in Sicily, and it was truly a special experience. The house itself is absolutely stunning. We loved discovering the incredible artworks collected from all over the world, and every room felt unique, personal, and full of character. There was something special to admire in every corner, which made simply spending time in the house a pleasure. We also fell in love with the garden and the pool. The garden offers so many beautiful and peaceful spots to relax, read, enjoy a glass of wine, or simply take in the surroundings. It is the kind of place where you can easily slow down and enjoy every moment. One of our favourite spaces was the kitchen and dining area, which is beautifully designed for cooking, sharing meals, and spending time together. It quickly became the heart of our stay. For anyone looking for a truly special place on earth to escape, relax, and experience something unique, we wholeheartedly recommend Steven and Gail and their wonderful home and garden with a pool. We would love to return!

We had a fabulous week at the villa. As a family group of 10, the villa set up was ideal for us. Decorated beautifully and presented immaculately, we loved our week here. The villa had everything we needed, the kitchen was well stocked, rooms were spacious and pool towels were provided. The pool and outside area was excellent and the location of the villa is great for visiting the beach too. Steve and Gail were so helpful and knowledgeable, going above and beyond by recommending day trips and places to visit, and helping us without hesitation when needed. I would highly recommend this property and the hosts for a fabulous holiday!
