My parents have availabilty for their beachfront villa on Arenella Beach in Siracusa Sicily for the month of July, September and October if anyone is looking for a holiday villa rental. The villa was completely refurbished last year and everything is new. The villa sleeps 10 and is 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms (3 ensuites and one family bathroom), large open plan kitchen/dining/living and wrap around terrace overlooking the sea in front. The villa has its own private gated entrance and has 1/2 an acre of gardens. The villa is set up with cots/high chairs and toys if needed for families.
Arenella is the main beach for Siracusa and is a white sandy beach with flat clear blue water and quite shallow for some distance. The beach is located about 10 mins from the centre of Siracusa which is a Unesco World Heritage listed city with Greek and Roman amphitheater and plenty of restaurants and things to do and see. The villa is about 45min drive from Catania airport.
