From the Guest Book
Read the insightful reviews from travellers who have experienced this villa and our service firsthand.
Donnafucale is an exceptional property both inside and out. It was very thoughtfully furnished and everything was top quality. We had an all-round fantastic holiday. Nobody wanted to leave and it was value for money.

Our stay at Donnafucale was magical, special, dreamy! The villa was better than in the pictures. It is a dream house. The grounds, the serenity of the place, the pool, the kitchen, the al fresco area, the bedrooms, the AC in them. And specially the staff, from the lovely lady who cooked for us one night to the cleaning lady who each day came to the house and help with everything. Thanks for a special holiday - I will not look elsewhere when renting again.

The Area
Donnafucale sits in the gentle countryside south of the baroque UNESCO World Heritage town of Noto and just few kilometres west of the unspoilt beauty and beaches of Vendicari Nature Reserve in the southeast of Sicily.
The coastline around Italy's southeasternmost point is flanked by mile upon mile of sandy beaches, many of which are a short drive from Donnafucale. Also close by are the other gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage towns of Modica, Ragusa and Scicli.
Slightly further afield, but highly recommended, is Syracuse, once the mightiest city in Magna Graecia. Its archaeological site and island centre, Ortigia, are fascinating.
Last but not least, If hiking in the hills is your thing, then there is some spectacular scenery to explore in the rushing streams and waterfalls of the Cassibile gorge and the Paleolithic burial sites in the dramatic valley of Pantalica.
