Sicily at its best: Beautiful Villa Gialla with pool, close to sandy beaches

The holiday home which rises upon a 20,000 m² property with lush vegetation and spacious garden and pool offers a simply unique view. Due to its location on a hill, guests meet with a view across the evergreen landscape of the peninsula, which is partly a nature reserve, of both sides of the sea hugging the peninsula's shores and of the town of Syracuse, the town rich in history on the opposite side. Unwind far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a holiday mix of relaxation, culture and bathing!

Heerlijk ruim en rustig huis. Gezamenlijk zwembad met een paar andere huizen. Geen overlast, was bijna prive zwembad. Aardig contact met eigenaar. Wel auto nodig.
Sehr schöne, ruhige Lage in einer richtigen Sizilianischen Oase. Patrizia, ihre Mutter und die Menschen um sie herum waren äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Ausflüge in die Umgebung von ca 100 Km haben viele Aspekte und interessante Kultur Highlights geboten, vom tollen Essen erst gar nicht zu reden. War alles toll und schön “gelassen Italienisch” una Vacanza molto bello!
