“Prachtige accomodatie met vriendelijke eigenaar”
“To było najpiękniejsze miejsce, jakie mogłam sobie wymarzyć! Doskonała lokalizacja, idealna jeśli podróżuje się autem i chce zwiedzić południową lub wschodnią część Sycylii. W pobliżu znajdują się przepiękne Noto i Syrakuzy. Francesco to wspaniały gospodarz! Każdego dnia witał nas z uśmiechem, dawał świetne wskazówki co zwiedzać i gdzie dobrze zjeść, a do tego przygotowywał przepyszne śniadania. Pokoje są bardzo czyste, codziennie sprzątane, a łóżka wyjątkowo wygodne. Cały obiekt ma cudowny klimat- elegancki i z klasą. Basen w obiekcie był ogromnym atutem! Duży plus za parking. Zdecydowanie polecam! Na pewno wrócimy tu przy kolejnej wizycie na Sycylii i będę polecać to miejsce wszystkim znajomym i rodzinie. Razem z narzeczonym, dziękujemy właścicielom za gościnę!”
