Villa Paola - Fontane Bianche

Our stay at Villa Paola was very nice and we had a wonderful time. The location provides good access to many local beaches, restaurants and attractions. The property manager was kind, professional and attentive and did all he could to make our holiday to Sicily a success.

We really liked this place very much and can recommed it fully. Very nice villa in a quitly green neighborhood. The house corresponds to the shown pictures. Living room, bath room, 2 bedrooms with double beds and a kitchen equipped with dishwasher, coffee maker and all necessary dishes and cutlery. Bed linen and towels are provided. Around the villa there is a terrace and a very nice garden with olive tree and flowers. Parking space for car inside the property. Bakery and small supermarket in near distance. Sandy beaches at Lido Fontane Bianche can be reached by car within 5 minutes. Perfect place also for excursions on the south east coast of Sicily (e.g. Etna, Syrakus, Noto, Ragusa). The host Francesco and his family are very nice and helpful. Quick answers on our questions.

We had a great time at Villa Paola as a family. The place is clean, has a wonderful garden and is located about 2 km from a beautiful beach. Francesco was a great host and gave us a lot of good tips for exploring the island.

This was the highlight accommodation of our visit to Sicily. Francesco is such a welcoming, trusting and friendly host, willing to help with literally everything and answer all questions. The house is perfect for two couples, two friends or more, or a small family. There is a huge lawn to play on, two patios, both with tables, one patio with an outdoor grill. There are screens on all of the windows, which is such a relief in the summer from the bugs. The house is decorated tastefully and practical at the same time, and each room is air-conditioned. Being able to wash our clothes was a huge plus, and there is a fold-up rack in order to dry them outdoors. Be sure to ask how to wash a normal load, it always varies from country to country. The property is completely private with a locked gate and there is room to park two cars within the private grounds. There are a couple of pizza places not far, and only about 1km away there there is a nice grocery store for basics, with a terrific deli counter with fresh cheeses and cold cuts (Viale dei Lidi, 3, 96100, Fontane Bianche). Larger supermarkets can be reached only a few minutes drive in the next largest town. The Fontane Bianche beach is very nice and it has what looks like a nice beach restaurant that we did not have time to try. From this location, day trips can be made to Syracuse/Ortigia, Noto, Ragusa, Modica and more, which makes it a very practical place as a base. We would return to this accommodation without hesitating and we can't thank Francesco enough for his kind hospitality and welcome. Highly recommended!
