Lovely property in a village straight from a novel

If you want peaceful then this is your place. The villa was lovely the outdoor space fantastic. The host could not have been welcoming or helpful giving us recommendations for eateries and activities including wine tasting. The location is more remote a beautiful beach and bar are a 10 minute cycle but the nearest town is a 10 minute drive. It is around 30 minutes drive from Noto which is beautiful.

Good location, great host

Host Giuseppe was very attentive and quick to respond to messages. Villa was lovely, pool and pool/summer house newly built and really nice. Had an issue with hot water, Giuseppe came round and couldn't fix it, called a plumber and all sorted within a few short hours. Some beautiful villages within 20-30 minute drive, more beautiful places further away if you're prepared to drive that little bit further. Good supermarkets within 15 mins drive, little shops within a 3 mins drive which provide everything you need in an emergency or just for fresh bread in the morning.

A wonderful introduction to Sicily

A delightful house and surroundings, well equipped and with a wonderful pool and pizza oven. Our three grown up sons greatly enjoyed. A wonderful meal awaited us on our arrival. All the facilities and equipment were at our disposal. We toured over the south-east of the island, to the north side of Etna and westward to Agrigentum, all within a week.Giuseppe, the owner, responded rapidly to questions, and gave wonderful advice about eating well. A great relaxing break in an intriguing setting.

Very disappointing

I feel this property is completely mis-sold. It is small and cramped and extremely basic. The pool is not heated above 18 degrees, which is cold. The heaters in the house don’t work. There is one rather scruffy shower room and three cramped bedrooms. No surprise there is no photo of the shower room. There is a shower room in the garden but looks out of use and a large speaker was being stored in it. On the first floor there is a single, a twin and a double. The beds are very hard. There is one small sofa for two in the lounge. It was advertised as having a kayak but there was no sign of this. There was no pump for one of the bikes so it couldn’t be used. It isn’t horrible, but it is described as a dream house. We found it to be a nightmare holiday because the house was so disappointing and have cancelled a future booking with HomeAway because of our loss of confidence in the reviews and house descriptions.

Wonderful family holiday in homely villa

My family and I had the most wonderful week at villa Ruta. From arrival we were made to feel at home and like one of the locals. We spent many evenings dining outside and our son loved the pool. The villa is a short distance by car to many lovely beaches and towns. We enjoyed exploring each day but were always happy to come home to the pool and cool villa. Would highly recommend for a relaxed holiday with family/friends!

Comfortable and cozy villa!

We had a wonderful family vacation at Giuseppe's beautiful villa! It is so comfortable and so thoughtfully built. We enjoyed the terrace and the summer kitchen every day! Our little kids had lots of fun in the spacious pool and roomy front yard. I've personally been impressed by the multitude of personal touches and artsy details of the villa. Both Giuseppe and Segnora Carmela ensured we had a comfortable stay and were incredibly easy to stay in touch with. Giuseppe gave us so many wonderful advices on restaurants, markets and beaches! We were sad to leave the house...but we're so grateful for the opportunity to spend quality time there and we wish everyone else a great time at Villa Ruta!

Fantastic break away

We all loved the villa, it was spotless when we arrived, with a lovely welcome spread. It felt like home, so we instantly relaxed. We enjoyed the pool every day, which is a good size, big enough for general playing as well as swimming a few lengths. We had a few days exploring the area, and found some great restaurants.

Fully kitted out house, wonderful pool, extremely attentive host.

My husband, our 3 and 6 yr old daughters and I had a fantastic stay at Villa Ruta at the beginning of April. Probably partly because Giuseppe and his family have lived there and obviously enjoyed it themselves, it is fully kitted out with everything you could need and more: cooking utensils, outside wood burning pizza oven, barbeque, television, swimming equipment etc. Big television, peaceful at night, the only negative about the house would be that the mattresses were too hard for our tastes. Although our children were too young to use them, there are bikes to use, exercise and diving equipment in the garage, for example. Gorgeous pool, that I enjoyed so much, even if it wasn't always the warmest weather or water. Warm enough for us! Again, maybe better for slightly older children because the shallow end is too deep for little ones to stand, but it didn't stop ours from loving it once they had arm bands etc. Great location for visits to Noto, Modica, and Syracuse, wonderful coastline 2 mins away, with lots of restaurants all along the coast, big supermarket 15 mins away, small one 2 mins away. What we were particularly impressed by was the attentiveness and generosity of Giuseppe as a host. We arrived to a complementary table of bread, ricotta, olives etc, a bottle of wine. Although he's in New York, he answered all our queries immediately and thoroughly, and went out of his way to accommodate us. Our youngest daughter was ill, and he was quick to make arrangements to have a doctor brought to us if need be. Although it wasn't needed, it was a real relief to know it was possible.

Lovely home in southeast Sicily - Near the beach and easy driving distance to Modica, Noto, Syracuse

We are a family of 4 with two small children and really enjoyed our stay in the Ruta Villa. The house is impeccably clean. I've seriously never seen a cleaner house. The housekeeper deserves an award. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space. There is a hammock, outdoor dining room and kitchen and a variety of lounging spaces around the pool. We also appreciated that the pool can be completely closed off for the safety of young children. The bathroom with direct access to the pool is also a nice touch. One of the most memorable moments was the lovely spread of local food that was awaiting us on arrival. The fresh local ricotta was unbelievable. On a practical level, this was important as well because we arrived on a Sunday night when most shops (and many local restaurants) were closed. It's hard to find any flaws in this home. The beds were definitely on the far end of the firm scale, which may not be everyone's preference. Also, the pool heater wasn't working while we were there, so being mid-October we weren't able to enjoy the pool (even though the outside temp was still lovely). The owner was very apologetic and tried everything he could to get it resolved. The villa itself is situated amongst farmland. We very much enjoyed the quiet, rural feel. A lovely beach is within a 3 minute drive (or you can use the provided bikes). Several good restaurants from low- to high-end are within a short driving distance. I really think this home is a great location to explore southeast Sicily with short drives to some amazing cities and sites to explore.

A wonderful place for a holiday!

Spent a week here with my family and couldn't have been happier. It is great to stay in a place that is a real family home and not just an anonymous rental property -- it is really comfortable and well equipped for cooking and dining. The pool is big and gorgeous and there are plenty of loungers and armchairs as well as a shady hammock for the heat of the day. We spent many happy hours round the table on the terrace next to the outdoor kitchen -- a fantastic place to cook and eat. The nearby beach is sandy and perfect for a swim, and there are plenty of other beaches to explore. The towns round about, especially Noto, are perfect for an evening of promenading and ice cream. Finally, the villa was beautifully prepared for our arrival, with masses of food and drink, which made us feel very welcome. All in all, I recommend this villa very highly indeed.

We had a wonderful stay at this very nice and clean villa with a wonderful pool. The hosts were extremely kind and service-minded and took good care of us. The villa is remotely situated. So if you're looking for relaxing times with friends or family around the pool the place is perfect. But don't expect shopping and restaurants just around the corner.

Sehr schönes Haus, sehr schöner Aufenthalt !

Wir haben im Juni in dieser Villa 2 Wochen verbracht und uns dabei sehr wohlgefühlt. Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt und gut ausgestattet, bietet reichlich Platz, Ausstattung und eine gute Atmosphäre, sich zu erholen. Die Außenveranda samt Küche ist ein herrlicher Ort, um in den lauen Abenden dort lange zu verweilen – aber Vorsicht: Vorsorge gegen Mücken treffen  Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter per E-Mail in Englisch ist völlig unproblematisch. Er antwortet sehr schnell und ist bei Problemen schnell dabei, über seine örtliche Vertreterin Frau Camela, die ebenfalls sehr hilfreich und nett ist, diese zu lösen. Volle 5 Sterne können wir wegen kleiner „Mängel“ leider nicht geben: - Frau Camela spricht ausschließlich Italienisch, insoweit ist die Einweisung in das Haus sowie Hilfe bei Problemen etwas schwierig - die Fahrräder waren in einen ungepflegtem Zustand, letztendlich konnten nur 2 benutzt werden - ein Sonnensegel oder -schirm für die Liegen am Pool war nicht vorhanden, daher konnte man dort sich nur unter dem Baldachin in den Schatten setzen - über wohl vereinbarte Termine mit einer Poolreinigungsfirma waren wir nicht informiert; einmal wurde der Pool bei unserer ganztägigen Ausflugsfahrt gereinigt und vom Poolreiniger die Alarmanlage aktiviert, so dass diese beim Betreten des Hauses auslöste und von uns auch nicht abgeschaltet werden konnte; nur ein Anruf bei und das Kommen von Frau Camela löste das Problem - trotz Satellitenempfangs waren nur italienische Programme verfügbar. Wir können das Haus gerne sehr empfehlen, wenn man einen ruhigen Urlaub abseits jeder Touristenhochburg verbringen möchte.

Die 'Villa Ruta' bietet alles, was man für einen erholsamen komfortablen Urlaub braucht. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und dennoch in Strandnähe (3 Minuten Fahrt). Sehr einladend ist die überdachte Terasse mit eigener Küche. Der Pool ist sehr gross.
