We were six adults and one child that stayed in Orianas house for a week. The house was perfect for us there was room for more people. Oriana is a fantastic landlord/host and informed us about things to do and where to go nearby. Very good communication with her in English. The house was very clean and they cleaned the pool every day. All in all a very enjoyable stay for our family. Strongly recommend

Spacious, stylishly decorated home with a lovely and friendly host. Home was very well located. we were a group of 3 families, with 5 kids. the pool and large garden were great for the kids to run around and play. Oriana also organised a riccotta making session with a local pastry chef for the kids. highly recommended home to explore Ragusa.

Hej på Er! Finns inget bättre boende om ni är många som vill hyra detta hus! Oriana är en fantastisk människa som hjälper Er med allt! Våra 10 dagar var helt underbara!

Oriana ist eine tolle und sehr aufmerksame, sich um alles kümmernde Gastgeberin. Die Villa ist wunderschön und dank der vielen Zimmer und Badezimmer bestens geeignet für große Familien oder Freundesgruppen. Wir haben uns mit fünf Teenagern und vier Erwachsenen dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Auch Ende Oktober konnten wir noch baden gehen und die Sonne genießen. Scicli (nächstgelegene Stadt) und Sampieri (nächstgelegener Strand) sind mit dem Auto schnell erreichbar und sehr schön. Alles in allem: Das Haus ist wärmstens zu empfehlen

Villa Antica Aia is a five star experience in respect of both the property’s ambience and the host’s hospitality. Oriana and her family’s hospitality surpassed all other’s that we have before experienced in any self-catering hire. We received immediate and helpful response to all communications and her delightful welcoming Sicilian pastries and confectionaries were excellent - in particular the children made short work of the cookies! The furnishing and decoration of the Villa is perfectly balanced and it felt really homely. The functional and well equipped kitchen and BBQ were a pleasure to use. The garden is nicely laid out. While it was still quite cold when we visited the children (and some adults) enjoyed the pool which is screened from the wind and surroundings by tall hedges. The Villa lies a tranquil rural setting within about a 10 minute drive to supermarkets, butchers and restaurants; good recommendations are found in the ‘house-booklet’. It is ideally situated as a base from which to explore and discover the charms and history of the baroque towns of the Syracuse-Ragusa region. Beaches, such as that at Marina di Modica and much liked by the children, are a few kilometres away. Oriana drew our attention to the extensive Tuesday local market in Scicli. The beginners Italian lesson given in the Villa garden by Paola, who has studied English at University in Sicily and Dublin and by working in Ireland, covered introductions, telling the time, and ordering at restaurants - it was really practical and very useful. One word of caution to those not familiar with the roads and the towns of the region - some streets (and some roads) are VERY narrow. Go with the smallest hire car you feel comfortable.
