Villa Arenella con Piscina by Wonderful Italy
Wonderful villa with swimming pool and solarium, surrounded by a palm garden and situated just a few steps from the sea in Syracuse.
Villa Arenella is a beautiful villa surrounded by a palm garden, solarium and spacious swimming pool where you can dive from the diving board. Outside there is also a veranda with wicker chairs and wooden tables, where you can enjoy an aperitif and relax in the evening, and a terrace from which to admire the surrounding area. Our villa has two double bedrooms, one double room with two single beds. There is also an attic with a single bed and double bed through which you access the terrace. At the disposal of our guests are two bathrooms with shower, one of which is on the upper floor, and a third toilet.
On the ground floor there is a welcoming and bright living room with fireplace and relaxation area that opens directly onto the veranda, a perfect area to spend an evening with friends and good food.
Villa Arenella will be the perfect accommodation for your holiday: a true corner of paradise.
*The swimming pool is open from 6 April to 31 October.
*Upon arrival or a few days before arrival, a tourist tax may be requested, the amount of which varies according to local regulations. You will find all information relating to your booking within the Guest Area of Wonderful Italy.
For lovers of relaxation and the sea, Eastern Sicily and the area surrounding Syracuse offer everything you could wish for. Starting from the ancient Greek city and heading south, the best equipped and most beautiful beaches to explore are Minareto, Fanusa, Arenella and Fontane Bianche, whose name derives from natural sources of fresh water and the particular white colour of the sand. Within the island of Ortigia, you will also find equipped solarium (Zefiro and Nettuno) and a small free beach called Cala Rossa. Going further south, approximately 30 km away, we find some beautiful unspoilt and inaccessible beaches, including Calamosche, Vendicari with its Natural Faunal Oasis and the beautiful San Lorenzo. For culture enthusiasts, you must see the Greek Theatre of Syracuse and the entire archaeological park with the Ear of Dionysius, a cave carved into limestone in the shape of a human ear, the Paolo Orsi museum, and also the Latomies of the Capuchins, as well as Ortigia itself with its historical and cultural beauties as well as scenic ones. Not to be overlooked are Noto, the seafront with the Avola tuna fishery and finally the fishing village of Marzamemi. In short, Sicily is a land to be explored entirely and its natural and cultural beauties are treasures with which to fill your gaze.
Catania Fontanarossa airport is approximately 60 km away, Comiso Pio la Torre is 110 km away. Syracuse train station is very close to the bus terminal from the airport and a 10-minute walk from Ortigia.

Wonderful week in June in this villa
We spent such a wonderful week in this villa with my family and friends !
The Host was very nice, helpful and answers really quickly at all our questions. He is a very great host !
The pool is really big and gorgeous. The house is clean and rooms are really comfy. It is perfectly located in Sicilia to explore all the south & east of the island : Syracusa, Catania, Noto, Taormina, Noto, Agrigento, The sandy beach of Arenella is very close, a small walking!
We strongly recommend this villa !

Great Stay in a very comfortable Villa!
We had a great time at Villa Arenella with my family and two couples of friends. It's a beautiful house, big, comfortable, clean and perfect for every age. Every one enjoyed the swimming pool, especially the children.
Arenella sandy beach is only 400 mt from the villa and very close to the city. The Villa has everything we needed: there's a bbq outside of the house, the swimming pool is big and clean, there's the wi-fi connection and different covered veranda.
The garden is very large and with different tropical palm!
We definitly loved this Villa and also Siracusa. Thank you for the lovely holiday!
This property has not been looked after. It was not properly clean, many things were broken (shower head held straight with string, arms off chairs, the toilet seat was broken, the air con controls were lost to one bedroom meaning we couldn't work it etc), the electricity tripped multiple times a day & night and the trip box was outside of the property down the lane, the shower ran cold after 2 minutes every time, there was never any hot water for washing up in the kitchen, there were ants and biting bugs everywhere. There was insufficient provisions for a property for 9. For example, there were 4 mugs for coffee. Despite asking the local host to help, we were fobbed off with "this is normal here". We were also asked to sign a contract in Italian, and when we needed it in English we were told we were the first people ever to ask for it in English, and nothing was fixed despite us asking. A really disappointing 50th celebration. The only good thing was the pool - which was lovely. But the chairs around the pool were old and tatty.
Nous étions 4 adultes et 5 enfants. Ça s’est super bien passé. Les personnes qui s’occupent de la maison sont très disponibles et arrangeantes.
Il y a le linge fourni.
La maison est idéalement placée , l’extérieur est top pour les enfants , ils peuvent jouer au ballon sur le parking par exemple et profiter de la piscine (mais piscine non sécurisée, non chauffée)
La maison est dans son jus d’il y a 20ans mais comme on vit dehors et qu’on est toujours en vadrouille , ce n’est pas très gênant. On est partis fin avril et on avait très froid dans la maison, prévoir des pyjamas chauds pr les enfants.
Il n’y a pas de lave -vaisselle.
La maison était très propre.

villa avec bel extérieur
l'intérieur de la villa est en mauvais état . Tout est à changer. En particulier la literie. L'électricité disjoncte constamment et plus ni de climatisation la nuit ni d'eau.
Le jardin est magnifique et la piscine extraordinaire

Wonderful surroundings
The outer area with the gigantic pool and the near by sandy beaches are amazing. The supplies in the house, and the general quality of the house needs an update with new outdoor furniture, madrasses, kitchen cookware etc. The garden, the pool and the house looks stunning and you find your way to downtown Syracysa in less than 20 minutes. If you plan to stay more than 6 people make sure that you have sufficient outdoor furniture for your amount of people.
The best parts about this villa are the location, the huge pool and the outdoor spaces. The sea is really near, and you can swim off the rocks in stunning water. We loved the fresh fruit and vegetable market nearby. The pool really is outstanding and we loved the convenience of the little huts at the end of it. The house itself is ok - it needs some modernisation and work done on electric sockets and so on. We encourage you strongly if you hire this villa to ensure that the owners provide a secure safe to lock up your valuables, as unfortunately the house, due to its wooden shutters and window frames can easily be broken into. The owners know this is an issue.

Vacanza meravigliosa!
Villa con piscina veramente molto bella. Giardino curato e piscina veramente tenuta con molta cura. Pulizia ottima. Camera al primo piano spaziosa con terrazzo veramente grazioso. Vicino ad una spiaggia libera molto pulita con mare bellissimo. Silenziosa di notte. Che dire ... speriamo di poterci ritornare!

A great stay at a great villa
A great stay at a great villa. We were a party of 8 adults and 2 small children and all loved our stay. The outside space is fantastic with multiple areas to sit out in the sun or shade. The garden is green and beautiful. And the pool is large, clean and inviting. The host was responsive and helpful before we arrived and arranged two cots for the small children. All in all we are very happy guests. Thank you

Large equipped villa with spectacular pool!
This is a large well equipped villa with the most spectacular private pool and garden which is regularly serviced. Clean villa, lots of space and host helpers of host very friendly and helpful. Peaceful and lovely. Easily sleeps 8-9. It is near Lido Arenella beach which is nice, if a little careworn. Beach at Vendicari Nature Reserve stunning (40 mins). Or drive (you definitely need a car) to the exquisite Baroque towns of Noto (30mins) or Ortigia in Siracuse (15mins). Fontane Bianche beach is fantastic . Host friendly and organised. Many thanks.
