⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic family stay in Fontane Bianche.

After travelling around Sicily, this villa was the perfect place to slow down, relax and enjoy a bit of beach life. The house was exactly as described – clean, comfortable, well-equipped and with plenty of space for our family to spread out and unwind.

The location is good and a great base for exploring places like Siracusa, Noto and the surrounding coastline. But there seems to be an issue in this area (and others in Sicily) where there is a lot of garbage being dumped on the roadside and this was our first impression of Fontane Bianche (not the Airbnb).

What really stood out was how easy everything was. Check-in was smooth, communication with the host was excellent throughout, and we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. It’s clear the property is well cared for and set up with guests in mind.
Some of our favourite holiday memories from Sicily were made sitting outside in the evenings. Thank you ❤︎

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Mare Arabico. The villa is tastefully decorated, as in the photos, and has an enormous terrace with a fantastic view of the sea and plenty of outdoor furniture for dining and lounging. The bedrooms are separated from the living area and kept cool by air conditioning. We took full advantage of the private access to the sea, swimming every day in the crystal clear water, just the right temperature for cooling off. The hosts were very welcoming and responsive, and since we arrived in the evening of the first day, we were especially grateful that they had stocked the kitchen not only with coffee but also bread, pasta, eggs, fruit etc. Although we had many activities planned, in truth we would have been content just to relax at the villa and swim all day!

The villa is beautiful, well furnished and well equipped. The outside space and access to the sea (a safe little cove) was fantastic. We also had such a lovely welcome when we arrived - even tho our flight had been delayed and hour and we didn't arrive till 11pm. Would highly recommend this villa and the host.

This is probably one of the most beautiful houses south of Siracusa – located on the rocks facing the ocean and with a private little “harbor”, perfect for swimming. The interior, the décor of the house is beautiful put together with local design, the terrasse in front of the house brings everything together – it is your outdoor living room ???? This house is perfect for 6 people and as a base for exploring the region. If we ever come back to this part of Sicily, we would love staying here again

Great location with fabulous views. We even had our own swimming hole, good to have water shoes as the walk into water is quite rocky. The house had everything we needed/wanted for cooking and it was very well stocked which was greatly appreciated. We had a wonderful relaxing holiday and highly recommend!

Giulia’s home was the perfect spot for our first trip to Sicily — a five-star experience all around. Communication before arrival was clear and helpful, which we really appreciated as English speakers. The home was exactly as pictured: beautifully decorated, spotless, and surrounded by lush landscaping behind a gated entrance. We were welcomed with a basket of fresh fruit, milk, and eggs — such a thoughtful touch! Beds were very comfortable, showers hot with great pressure, and the area was peaceful and quiet. The internet was fast enough for work and streaming. The home is also in a great central location, making it easy to explore nearby towns and attractions. Ortigia was a quick 20 minute drive and has amazing restaurants and shops. The oceanfront view was incredible — we spent most of our time outside enjoying it. As mentioned in other reviews, the rocks to the water are sharp, so wear shoes, but we loved jumping right into the crystal clear sea from shore. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The villa is stunning, with breathtaking views and a beautiful garden. We especially loved the private access to the sea—it made the experience truly special. The house is well-equipped with everything you could need, and there are multiple lovely spots to enjoy meals both inside and out. It’s easily one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Vincenza was an exceptional host—warm, welcoming, and incredibly kind.

The house is simply MARVELOUS: the terrace, the view to the sea, the garden, the flowers, the early birds singing, then the spacious rooms, the wonderful and authentic decorations all over the house, the great paintings... We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Did I mention the glorious sunrise over the sea? Our host Vincenza and her sister made sure we feel welcome - and on top of that, plenty of fresh and delicious compliments were awaiting us in the kitchen table. I'd only wish we stayed longer than 1 week.

We stayed here for a week, three adults. The villa was beautiful, right on the sea, with a lovely front terrasse, with comfortable sofa, dining table, chairs and loungers. The living room is very big and comfortable with three sitting areas. Each bedroom is spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Two bathrooms, a wonderful kitchen fully equipped, and a nice laundry room. Really a spectacular property, well-decorated by the owner. We enjoyed visiting around to Noto and Siracusa. The owner is very responsive, helped us with a medical problem. We recommend this property unreservedly if you wish to stay in the Fontane Bianche area. We have rented VRBO numerous times in various countries and this rates as one of the best. Grazie

This home could not have been more perfect. Such a beautiful location, right on the sea. We spent most of our time when we were home on the terrazza - mornings drinking our coffee, afternoons enjoying the sunshine, and evenings watching the moon rise. The house itself has so much beauty. It was well appointed with lots of beautiful decor - pottery and art work. The space was relaxing and warm with multiple spaces to enjoy. It was extremely clean and inviting. Everything we needed was there. The kitchen had everything available and more! It was also wonderful to be able to walk right down to the water. We did not swim, but it was possible (rocky, not beach). Vincenza met us when we arrived and when we were ready to leave. She was warm, helpful, and welcoming. We did not want to leave!!!

This is a lovely villa, in a fantastic position. Being able to sit on the private patio with an unspoilt view of the Mediterranean at the foot of the garden was a privilege we never thought we would have. The weather when we were there was very pleasant but at that time of year we did not feel inclined to swim, but this would certainly be possible on calm summer days (bring beach shoes). Away from the patio, the garden is lovely and there is plenty of shade, and I presume the slightly elevated position must catch any cooling breeze during the height of summer. The villa is used by the family themselves, which explains why it is so well equipped and why it is such an easy and comfortable house to live in. It was spotlessly clean and the welcome we received from the Vincenza and Lidia was very warm, and they also provided a generous welcome pack to get us started, including there own olive oil. The Villa is an excellent base for touring the Southeast of the island, with easy access to the autostrada network. This allowed us to travel for day trips without difficulty as far north as Taormina and as far west as Valle dei Templi. Of course, with such gems as Noto, Ragusa, Scicli, Ortigia, and Palazzolo Acreide closer by you may not feel the need to go so far. All of the above are well worth seeing. We had a lovely time here, and would like to thank the Cuoco's for their hospitality.

Beautiful and wonderful place to stay. We had an amazing stay and would stay again. Its location is brilliant on the rocks on the sea. So much to do and see a short distance away. Vincenza is so generous and thought of everything so a home from home!!! Her food basket was extremely appreciated and we had a whole dinner made with it!
The reason I gave it a 4 was we were eaten alive by mossies. Our pale thin skin was clearly their favourite flavour! However she had kindly supplied a mountain of different products to use and nets on windows etc…

One of the best vacation rental experiences we have ever had. The Cuoco sisters were excellent hosts and the house is both beautiful and very well equipped. It was incredibly clean upon arrival and the view and proximity to the sea were exceptional. Fantastic swimming and snorkeling. The villa is amazingly relaxing with the sights of Siracusa and Ortigia Island a very short drive away. We will gladly return and hope to do so regularly. Very much recommended.

This place is great: directly on the sea, so you can walk from the property straight onto the rocks. The interior is comfortable and stylish – not just a white box used as a rental.
