The Area

Following the defeat of the Athenians in 413 BC Syracuse was arguably the most important city in the Mediterranean (and hence perhaps the world). Remains of that period are beautifully preserved in Ortygia, at Neapolis and in the fabulous archaeological museum, all of which are within just a few minutes drive of Villa San Tommaso. Syracuse is not just an Ancient Greek museum however. The old baroque island city of Ortygia offers a marvellous choice of restaurants, bars and shops in beautiful piazzas and on the sea front. Also within easy distance of Villa San Tommaso are white sand beaches, towns such as Noto, Modica and Ragusa, Mount Etna, and much more.

JB, United Kingdom April 2018

Villa San Tommaso was wonderful and we had a lovely holiday! Everyone at The Thinking Traveller was wonderful and it made a big difference to have the staff on site to help us out. They were great. We would definitely use the company again - a lovely experience all around. Thank you so much!

KB, United Kingdom October 2017

Villa San Tommaso is a terrific holiday property. We loved the spaciousness of the house and the kitchen facilities. The caretaker was discrete and charming.

Mr Grant Carolan, Australia October 2017

Fantastic villa, incredibly helpful caretaker, great welcome pack of food on arrival. We loved the tranquillity of this beautiful villa. The preparation of breakfast by caretaker was a delight every morning and it was such a fantastic garden and pool that we had no incentive to sightsee!

Verified guest, September 2017

Villa San Tommaso has absolutely stunning gardens and views - we loved it! Completely as expected from the site, so we were prepared for how lovely it was : )

Ms Julia Dickenson, United Kingdom August 2017

Overall, our stay at Villa San Tommaso was wonderful. Asithe was extremely helpful and always available as needed. The house was lovely and good value, especially given breakfast service is included. We would definitely recommend and consider returning.
