You may wonder why I added the word “reluctant” to the title of my review. It’s because I’m afraid that if I’m too effusive about this fantastic property, I’ll never be able to rent it again. It will be booked solid for the next 10 years and it should be! Pictures can’t possibly due this home justice. It is situated such that it has a million dollar view. I’ve been to the Amalfi coast, etc… and this private secluded home has a much better view. It’s absolutely magical and you won’t want to leave the infinity pool area. If you do, you’ll find high-end everything inside. I defy you to find something missing from the kitchen. They have every gadget and appliance one would need to cook either a simple or gourmet meal. The little market down the hill has just about everything you’ll need-including some prepared foods. Don’t judge that book by its cover! Everything was smooth from booking to check in and check out. The owner & management of this villa responded to texts within seconds. They were friendly, flexible, and accommodating. They are all terrific communicators and full of helpful information. This place is perfect for a honeymoon, two couples, a small family of 4, or two singles like my sister & I. The space and layout is perfect to share. There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and there are two chairs set into the shallow part of the pool. There is nothing more relaxing than lounging in those ergonomically correct chairs. There’s also a nice outdoor shower, rain showers in both bathrooms, a toilet and bidet in each along with plenty of towels. The washer is easy to use as were the other appliances. We’ve rented villas before in Italy and the appliances were impossible for foreigners to figure out. Did I mention the outdoor grill? There’s also plenty of parking in the driveway. The property is safe & secure behind a locked gate (controlled by remote) & quality doors and windows throughout the house. No expenses were spared in this quality construction. The WiFi worked great and we even had access to Netflix. When I say this property has everything, I mean it. The location, too, is fabulous. You’re about 10-15 minutes from Siracusa & Ortigia by car. 6 minutes to a favorite restaurant - Onda Blu Isola. You will, however, need a car to get around. The only thing in walking distance ( besides the beach) is the market mentioned above. Check out the small olive grove on the side and the expert landscaping. Comfy beds and pillows, too!
