Casal Sikelio is a small boutique property with currently only 7 apartments. I stayed with my mum for 7 nights in May and we were highly impressed on all accounts.
The apartment was exceptionally clean, had comfy beds and was well appointed with all necessary equipment. Each also had its own outside terrace/patio which was covered in jasmine blossoms. The grounds are stunning and well appointed with a gorgeous good sized pool, which despite being slightly chilly we were still able to swim in in May. There were also plenty of sun beds for the number of guests, and herbs, orange and lemon trees that guests are able to help themselves to.
We did not hire a car and were able to get around by bus and train (to Syracuse, to see a play in the Teatro Greco and to Noto to see the annual flower festival) and the owners very kindly helped us out with lifts to get to a local supermarket, restaurants and the gorgeous local Fontaine Bianche beach. However, we would recommend a hire car.
It was a pleasure getting to know Antonino, the passionate and exceptionally welcoming host of Casal Sikelio. He was extremely helpful, able to answer all of our questions and incredibly accommodating with any need we had.
We would definitely recommend to friends and hope to be back soon!
