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.

Donnafucale was beautiful and we loved being in the countryside. The housekeeper made our holiday extra special. She was a gem and an excellent cook: we all loved the delicious meals and we never saw our toddler eat so much!

October was a perfect time to visit, it was still warm enough to visit the beach but tourist hotspots were relatively quiet.
Verified guest, November 2017
Donnafucale is a lovely villa. The cook was a delight and made a homey first night meal for us. We loved Sicily and look forward to returning.
Ms Michelle Lovelace, United States of America September 2017
Our holiday really was faultless. Donnafucale was excellent from every point of view. The housekeepers run a very tight ship - the villa was spotless.
Mrs Susan Haig, United Kingdom July 2017
We all enjoyed the mix of tranquility and beauty of Donnafucale and yet there was access to the historical towns as required. The villa was luxurious and therefore there was a balance of relaxation and exploration. Underlying all this one felt The Thinking Traveller was concerned to provide a quality, individualised service which is all too rare these days.

On a scale of 1-10 Donnafucale was 11. The house was perfect, far more than we expected. Your staff were superb, exceptionally helpful and charming to deal with in every way. The success of companies is often on recommendations and we will certainly go out of our way to recommend your firm to all our friends. We would also like to mention the lady who cooked for us and cleaned magnificently, her kindness towards us as a family was exceptional. We will definitely consider other venues with your company in the future.
