Villa Guiliana was a life-saver. We had booked a different lodging by The Valley of Temples and ended up with a room that picked up so much street noise and exhaust fumes that we could not get comfortable. After one night, we decided we had to go somewhere else even without a refund.
We were lucky to end up with the last room available at Villa Guiliana which was a roomy triple that gave us a lovely view of the town in the Valley - Licata.
The staff was professional and friendly, the grounds were lovely - a fresh breeze kept the days from being too hot - and the restaurant had such a delicious menu that we ate there both nights!
We walked to the castle, swam at the beach, and luxuriated in the quiet moments before heading onto Ortigia.
