The villa is traditional and rustic, everything worked well - air con, Wi-Fi, Shower and bathroom facs, comfortable firm beds and pillows, dishwasher and washing machine and the best bit about this villa is the outdoor space - dining area outside in good shade, wonderful pool and terrace areas to enjoy the fantastic views of Plemmirio Syracuse area. Short drive to Arenella beach (10mins). Lidl - short drive to outskirts of Syracuse. Local grocery store a 8min walk down the hill on roadside - breads and pastries, cheese and ham, drinks. In close proximity of the sea, need a car to drive there as no direct path access to walk to sea access. We had a mixture of chill out days in the villa and beach time at Arenella. Bed and parasol at beach is overpriced as the Italians have already expressed in news reports, but the villa has a good parasol you can take to the beach. If you want to eat out be prepared for a drive to places, there are a couple of local beach resort restaurants but as there are no paths on roadsides it’s safer to drive. Uber service available.
