We were two families with 4 adults and 4 young children and had a very nice stay at Peppe's place. Lot of space outside (garden, verandas), safe and mostly quiet neighbourhood, good location to reach the very nice Fontane Bianche beach, Siracusa, Noto, even restaurants and supermarkets. If there would be invested a little more on the interior (maybe a dishwasher, moskito nets in the doors and in front of every window (by now they are in the dormitories only) i would say this is a perfect place to spend your holidays in that region! Thanks a lot Peppe!

Realy beautiful villa in a still and peacefully place. There is everything needful for a comfort stay with family or group of friends: living and relaxation space, closed garden, barbeque place, kitchenware. And some bycicles for free... Gentile Peppe, thank you for accommodation and goodbye.

We wre met by the friendly owners on arrival in Fontane Bianche and taken to the house, which ia as described. Apart from the living room there are two other areas for eating, the large verandah and a shaded area at the side of the house. It was too hot to use the grassed garden which takes up two sides of the house. Fontane Bianche is an area and not a town with a very few shops and bars spread along the coast road. Being 75+ we drove down to the sandy beach area which is small and about a 3 minute drive. It you want a lengthy stretch of beach then drive to Avola where the road to the Lido runs alongside a mile or so of sandy beach. Do not expect to find a row of beach-side restaurants in either Fontane Bianche of Avola. In Fontane Bianche we only came across one, "La Spiaggetta" which we used twice with a main course and drink coming to about 20 Euros per person. On our last three days we found the "Paper Moon" in the square in front of the Church in Cassibile, where you come off the main road/autostrada from Catania Airport. On our second and third visits we were treated as friends and given complimentary Sicilian dishes to try. A main course and drink came to about 11 Euros per person. There is a small road which runs from outside the housing complex into Cassabile which is about a three minute drive away. There is also a small supermarket on this road when you get to the one way system on entering Cassibile. On the return journey look out for the start of the one way system which makes you turn right half way down, instead of going straight on. If you want a wider selection of restaurants then you have to go to the old town, Ortygia, in Syracuse or to the baroque town of Noto, both about half an hour away, unless you get lost trying to interpret the confusion array of local direction signs which you will come across!! The house is a good location if you want to visit Syracuse, Noto and Etna, as we did.
