Beautiful villa with wonderful hosts
Unfortunately our trip didn't go as planned as our son was ill but Isabella and Corrado were so kind and did everything possible to help. They are lovely people and wonderful hosts. The villa itself is lovely, especially the outside area, and the surroundings are stunning. You definitely need a car but the isolation means peace and quiet and great views. Unfortunately we didn't get to explore the area so hopefully we can return one day.

Country house
The house is located in a secluded area outside of town. Unfortunately the hosts do not speak any English so it was hard to communicate. Luckily our son can understand some Italian and was very helpful. They have surrounding land with lemons, olives and almond trees. Chickens which provided us with some fresh eggs. A huge beautiful immaculate pool and a stone grill which we cooked meals several times. Bedrooms are all on second floor and if you have problems climbing stairs this is not for you. A stray dog and kittens came by and were cute. We went to Avola and bought fresh produce and fish and enjoyed grilling our own food. They have olive oil, wine and aperitif for sale.

Wonderful stay in the south east Sicily countryside.
We had a great stay in this comfortable villa. Corrado and Isabella are the most wonderful of hosts - with nothing too much trouble, on hand to deal with any problems and happy to provide advice on restaurants and places to go. The outside space is wonderful - fantastic pool (on the cool side at end of April but still great to swim in), outside barbecue and pizza kitchen, with a variety of areas to sit out. Great covered veranda also for eating. Fresh eggs for guests from the chickens and plentiful supply of oranges, lemons and almonds. We enjoyed freshly squeezed orange juice and made supplies of lemonade - wonderful. The kitchen is very well equipped and comfortable lounge area with good TV and streaming channels. The sleeping areas are a bit more basic - one comfortable king in main bedroom, other beds not quite as comfortable. Be aware the single beds are small singles (2’ 6” or 75cm) fine for children but not adults. We would certainly be happy to stay again and it is a good base for exploring south east Sicily both the history and beaches.

Fabulous Holiday!
The garden around the pool is beautiful and the pool was crystal clear and maintained daily early in the morning before most of us had surfaced for the day. We all enjoyed cracking open fresh almonds and collecting eggs from the chicken coop. The beauty of the setting is further enhanced by the backdrop of the Hyblaean mountains and the sweeping views of the sea beyond Avola The villa is well equipped for cooking which we did for several evening meals. I can also recommend take away pizza which we collected from Pizzamore in Avola. We did the car share with the owners Corrado & Isabella who provided a Fiat 500L that was in immaculate condition. Usually we end up hiring a much bigger car to manage luggage from the airport run but as Corrado and his nephew met us at the airport with the Fiat they were able to take 2 cases in Corrado’s Citroen. Having a slightly smaller car proved a great bonus later when trying to find tight parking spaces or navigating narrow streets in places like Noto and Palazzolo. We had asked ahead about table tennis and Corrado kindly sourced a ping pong table which we hired for our stay and had great fun playing in the cooler parts of the day. Corrado was so helpful in having a missing delayed suitcase delivered to his house in Avola and bringing it up to the villa for us. The villa is an old family home and has been lovingly cared for by Corrado and Isabella whom we would like to thank once again for being the most wonderfully gracious of hosts.

Exceptional property. Perfect for families!
We absolutely loved our recent stay at this property. The villa was exceptional and the whole family agreed it was the best we have ever stayed in. There where so many highlights its hard to summarise but the points that really stood out for us was the level of cleanliness, it was immaculate top to bottom. The gardens and grounds were vast, our kids loved the freedom they had to roam safely and independently. The pool area was beautiful, we could easily have spent the entire holiday just sat by the pool admiring the views. The setting was perfect, no other properties were even visible let alone within earshot, a stunning backdrop of rolling hills and a view of the sea while being surrounded by the smell of orange blossom, the epitome of peace and tranquillity. Being free to pick fruit from the trees in the grounds as well as fresh eggs from the resident chickens every morning were also extra little perks which helped make this stay unique. But the jewel that really sets this villa apart is Mr and Mrs Spitale, they are the most wonderful hosts and genuinely lovely people, they made us feel so welcome and were incredibly helpful throughout our stay

Wonderful villa and grounds
Really nice villa to stay in. Outside areas and the pool are just amazing. The owners, well, you could not meet a nicer couple. We had a great time at the villa, albeit, we had to cut our holiday short due to illness. I cannot praise Corrado and Isabella enough for their help, kindness and hospitality. The villa itself is cool and has air conditioning in each room. it was spotlessly clean as was the outside and the pool, which are cleaned every day. The road up to the villa is somewhat bumpy and quite long but as you're on holiday it doesn't really matter. Good location to visit so many areas from Siracusa all the way up to Modica/Ragusa.

Paradise on earth!
We have just come back from 2 weeks in this absolutely beautiful Sicilian villa sounded by Lemon, Almond and Olive trees complete with Chickens set in typical Sicilian hills. Corrado, Isabella and their son ‘Giulio’ are very friendly and extremely helpful. The pool is crystal clean and very well maintained on a daily basis. The Villa is spacious, clean, pleasing to the eye and well configured. It has air conditioning in the rooms which is welcome in the hot summer months. Outside there is a lovely BBQ corner and a wood fired Pizza oven which was fun to use during stay. It is also very private and secluded and therefore, requires a car to move freely around. The nearby town ‘Avola’ is typically Sicilian with easy access to a number of beaches. We would recommend going to Cava Grande which is close by and Mount Etna is a must if you have time. We have rented Villas all over Europe and this tops the list and ticks every box! We would highly recommend it. Thank you so much Spitale family!!

Rustic Sicilian villa, with lots of charm, space and tranquility - great base for a family holiday.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Corrado, Isabella and the Spitale family are great hosts and its clearly important to them that you are happy in their beautiful villa. Corrado especially went out of his way to be as helpful as possible, nothing was too much trouble and although his English is limited, we managed to converse well, with Gaia and Giulio on hand to translate whenever needed. The villa is a typical rustic Sicilian villa, in a lovely location with a backdrop of mini mountains. There is lots of space surrounding the villa, with almond, lemon, olive and pomegranate trees, from which you are free to pick your fill. The pool area is fab, with a larger than average sized pool, which Corrado keeps spotlessly clean. The sea views from the full-length bedroom windows is a joy to wake up to every morning and a delight to see the twinkling town lights in the evening. There are no immediate neighbours so you have complete privacy and it was great to be able to eat outside every night, even in mid-October. The villa is not in walking distance from the town so, as we all like a glass of wine or two and love to cook, we chose to eat in every night. The villa has everything needed to do this and there are two good supermarkets nearby and a fishmonger in Avola. We were able to get lots of lovely Sicilian produce at Conrad, which has a fab meat and deli counter. We used the wood fired pizza oven (with some advice from Corrado) a couple of times, which was fun for everyone to join in with and the built-in barbecue area is really good too. Having the chickens was also a real bonus, especially being able to collect fresh eggs every day. We didn’t spend much time in Avola itself (which is about 10 mins from the villa by car), so cant really comment on it. Noto and Siracusa are around 30 mins away, both beautiful and well worth a visit. There is a large amphitheatre in Siracusa and the Ortygia area is lovely, with quaint streets, lots of little restaurants and boutique shops and a food market. Ragusa is around 1 ½ hours away and Modica is en route, both stunning Baroque towns. We also had a nice day at Calamosche beach in the Vendicari National Park. I would definitely recommend this villa and would like to come back in the future. Thank you Spitale family – you did a good job!

The house is very nice with beautiful views of both the sea and the stony hills behind it, surrounded by almond and olive orchards, very clean and equipped with everything needed. The pool is huge, very nicely done and super clean. A real corner of paradise. The owner, Corrado, was very useful and friendly, and both the check in and out were quite smooth.

Lovely House & Pool in Beautiful Surroundings
We have just returned from the most relaxing holiday ever. The property was perfect with a fantastic large and very clean pool, surrounded by almond groves. You feel like you are in the middle of the countryside with peace and total privacy, yet you are only 10 minutes drive from the nearest supermarket Lidl. The owners were wonderful, kind and incredibly helpful. We loved using the outside pizza oven to cook our homemade pizzas and the BBQ to cook fresh fish from the local fishmarket in Avola. Our children loved feeding the chickens and collecting the fresh eggs for breakfast. This was our first trip to Sicily and we loved it and are looking forward to returning.

Wonderful villa, great holiday
We had a terrific stay at this lovely Sicilian villa. It sits with hills behind it and a view to the sea from the front and is surrounded by almond orchards. It is really beautiful. Chickens in the orchard were a delight and we enjoyed the many eggs. Inside, the villa is well equipped and comfortable; the air conditioning and fans provided sufficient cool air to keep us comfortable at night. The pool was wonderful- large and inviting. Corrado, Giulio and Isabella were delightful to meet and very helpful to us. There are plenty of places to visit within an easy drive. Sicily is a beautiful island and one holiday cannot do it justice. This is a terrific villa, we would highly recommend and would definitely come back.

Outdoor idyll between the mountains and the sea
We had a lovely 2 weeks here. The pool is absolutely amazing, clean, clear and enormous surrounded by shady areas to sit and read and eat, loads of outside space. The almond and olive groves and rugged hills which surround the villa add a wonderful rural charm to the property. It is very secluded and the only noises you hear are the hum of crickets and the distance bleat of goats and their bells. Its a great base from which to explore the east coast of the island with its stunning beaches, beautiful hill top towns like Noto, the imposing Mount Etna and the amazing nearby Cavagrande Nature Reserve. The Villa itself was simple and clean with lovely views down to the sea from the bed rooms and the owners of the property were charming and helpful in every way and could not do enough for us. We have very happy memories of this trip and would recommend it to others.

Brilliant holiday home
The house was absolutely terrific - spacious living accommodation, very pleasant covered seating area / terrace, purpose-built barbecue area and a big pool. Add in air-conditioning, wifi, fresh eggs, lemon trees and a spectacular view down to the sea and you have all the ingredients for a magnificent holiday base. Corrado and family could not have been more helpful and kind. Holidaymakers should be aware that the route up to the house from Avola has some fairly narrow stretches but as long as approached cautiously it is not a problem.

Die Vermieter waren sehr herzlich, immer erreichbar und haben auf alle Fragen Antworten gewusst. Sie konnten uns viele gute Ausflugsziel nennen und auch tolle Essenstipps.
