Holiday houses in San Cono

You will feel like in home with a 3 star chef. Hard to find better place to be.

We really enjoyed our one week stay at Rosanna and Gaetano's 'ranch-style' house, which is low slung and sits in a generous olive tree grove, with a wrap-around terrace that offers shady seating areas. The house accommodates up to six people, and could accommodate a family of four very generously, though we were only two, so the place space felt huge. We especially enjoyed the outdoor shower after a morning at the sandy beach, about 1 mile from the house. The surrounding countryside is arid (July) and evocative. Rosanna and Gaetano were perfect hosts, extremely welcoming and responsive throughout. We speak hardly any Italian and we speak hardly any English but we managed to communicate fine. They twice dropped off fresh pastries, were very helpful with local restaurant recommendations and when our return flight was cancelled they were flexible about letting us stay for a couple more nights. A great place with great hosts!

Beautiful place just as described. Carlo was very nice and welcome us. Everything needed for our stay. Definitely will recommend Carlo place

Our whole experience with Villa Clara has been perfect! This stunning villa really gave us everything and more than we expected. Prior to reaching the villa, we had some delays whilst travelling. Everything was more than accommodated for, nothing was trouble and they wanted to make sure we arrived safely. On arriving, our host met with us so we could be guided to the villa. We were met by three family members who were very friendly. They gave us a tour and showed us around the land and told us of everything that grows there. The landscaping is immaculate and the olive trees are just wonderful. It was a truly welcoming and homely experience! We were given Clara’s number should we need anything whilst we stayed. We messaged a couple of times and got very fast response s which we were grateful for. Olive oil from the olive trees that had been harvested was gifted to us. It really was a nice touch and olive oil was the best I’ve ever tasted. Thank you for making us feel at home x

This place is truly a little gem. Tastefully renovated and furnished with attention to detail, the two bathrooms are wonderful. The view of the center of Modica from the windows is fascinating and unique at any time of day. The check-in instructions, with GPS data to the parking lot and photos of the way through the narrow alleys to the house were very helpful, communication with questions was lightning fast. Unfortunately, the accommodation is unfortunately not recommended only for people with reduced mobility, for everyone else, the steps after the restaurant visit or shopping are a good sporting training. Actually, you should treat the apartment as an insider tip, do not recommend it at all and return as often as possible 😉

Words cannot describe how thankful we are to have found Simona’s and Roberto’s beautiful home. We just moved to Italy from the United States, and in the middle of our travel we discovered we did not have housing secured like we originally thought. Simona was so quick to respond to our situation and her flexibility with us meant the world. For our first month in Italy, we felt as if we had landed in a dream - the orange grove was the perfect peaceful spot for long walks with our dog and the serene atmosphere allowed us to unwind and really enjoy our new Italian life. The house is rustic and beautiful - there are so many perfect little personal touches and we felt cozy during our stay. The best part were the hosts, Simona and Roberto. They were responsive to our every need and showed us great hospitality. Simona gave us local Scordia recommendations, even bringing us bread, treats and fruit from the farm. We would stay here in a heartbeat again. Thank you for everything, Simona!

We spent 5 weeks with our baby and our dog in the cute place and we really enjoyed it. We felt very comfortable right away! The place offers everything you need, we didn't miss anything. Dog and baby have used the big garden extensively to play and relax. The hostess is super helpful and gave us many tips for the area. We highly recommend the place!

Wow! What a truly magnificent stay!! The villa looked incredible in the photos...but it's even more special in real life! The villa was much bigger than we expected and it felt like living in a palace, with beautiful local and family touches. The gardens and the pool were beautiful...my brave daughters even tried it in winter which was a bit chilly, but i imagine amazing in the summer. We made friends with Shakira the horse and the kittens. Antonio was really helpful with the local recommendations and fantastic communication and gave us a warm welcome and orientation to the villa. For fans of Montalbano, we recommend a drive down to Punta Secca to see his house, or Scicli for the police station. The trattoria gattopardo at the castello donofugata nearby was excellent and we loved the pizza at That's a moro in Ragula Ibla. A week went so quickly... we'd have happily stayed longer! Grazie!!
