This is a lovely property. Spotlessly clean, modern and well appointed. A fabulous, mature garden surrounds the villa, with fruit trees and herbs, and lots of shade for different times of the day. The pool is large and very refreshing and was not at all cold as suggested by a previous reviewer - we swam at 8am and 11pm, and all times in between!. We loved the speakers hidden in the bushes by the pool (which we found by accident; couldn't work out where the music was coming from!)

The kitchen had everything we needed, and the local Eurospar supermarket is just 3 minutes away in the car.

Giorgio, Alessio and Anna were a pleasure to deal with, and any issues were sorted out very quickly. We did have a problem with the wifi, which was resolved (much to the relief of our 3 teenagers!) within 24 hours. (Download speed was 10Mbps once fixed; perfectly acceptable.)

If we were looking for a fault, then the lack of proper air-conditioning in the 4th (ground floor) bedroom would be our only complaint. Fortunately we did not need to use that bedroom. There is some building work still being undertaken on neighbouring properties but we did not find it overly intrusive (the houses are fully built, but they are still working on the internal fittings). It wasn't a major problem, and the villa still felt quiet and secluded, and importantly is not overlooked giving a feeling of privacy.

We have stayed in many different properties around the world and would have no hesitation in recommending this one. We hope that we will be able to return one day.

Marina di Ragusa is a nice, low key resort. Beaches are wonderfully soft and very clean, with safe swimming. Lots of restaurants and cafes, and of course gelateria! Interesting local towns to visit - our favourite was Scicli. For a great beach walk we recommend the Playa Grande beach just before Donnalucata.
