Ideal for couples and friends, Villa Mare Arabico can comfortably host up to 6 people. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen and a spacious living room with high roof and big windows that beautifully frame the sea.
A private lush garden and a huge panoramic terrace are the perfect settings for relaxing moments and pleasant outdoor eating.

Lovely villa on the sea!
We stayed here for a week, three adults. The villa was beautiful, right on the sea, with a lovely front terrasse, with comfortable sofa, dining table, chairs and loungers. The living room is very big and comfortable with three sitting areas. Each bedroom is spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Two bathrooms, a wonderful kitchen fully equipped, and a nice laundry room. Really a spectacular property, well-decorated by the owner. We enjoyed visiting around to Noto and Siracusa. The owner is very responsive, helped us with a medical problem. We recommend this property unreservedly if you wish to stay in the Fontane Bianche area. We have rented VRBO numerous times in various countries and this rates as one of the best. Grazie mille, Vincenza!

Everything we hoped for
This is a lovely villa, in a fantastic position. Being able to sit on the private patio with an unspoilt view of the Mediterranean at the foot of the garden was a privilege we never thought we would have. The weather when we were there was very pleasant but at that time of year we did not feel inclined to swim, but this would certainly be possible on calm summer days (bring beach shoes). Away from the patio, the garden is lovely and there is plenty of shade, and I presume the slightly elevated position must catch any cooling breeze during the height of summer. The villa is used by the family themselves, which explains why it is so well equipped and why it is such an easy and comfortable house to live in. It was spotlessly clean and the welcome we received from the Vincenza and Lidia was very warm, and they also provided a generous welcome pack to get us started, including there own olive oil. The Villa is an excellent base for touring the Southeast of the island, with easy access to the autostrada network. This allowed us to travel for day trips without difficulty as far north as Taormina and as far west as Valle dei Templi. Of course, with such gems as Noto, Ragusa, Scicli, Ortigia, and Palazzolo Acreide closer by you may not feel the need to go so far. All of the above are well worth seeing. We had a lovely time here, and would like to thank the Cuoco's for their hospitality.

Superb Villa Near Siracusa
One of the best vacation rental experiences we have ever had. The Cuoco sisters were excellent hosts and the house is both beautiful and very well equipped. It was incredibly clean upon arrival and the view and proximity to the sea were exceptional. Fantastic swimming and snorkeling. The villa is amazingly relaxing with the sights of Siracusa and Ortigia Island a very short drive away. We will gladly return and hope to do so regularly. Very much recommended.

House was very comfortable for 2 couples. Good sized bedrooms and baths. Great patio for morning coffee and evening relaxing. Location was a great base for exploring Syracuse, Noto, Ragusa and Modica. Drawback: A/C didn’t work properly in 1 BR, but since there were 3 BR, one couple moved. The entire recycling/ trash situation was a mystery and communication with the owner did not clarify it.

Beautiful villa for a family
We were very satisfied with this large and well equipped villa. We were joined by our daughter and her husband, along with our 2 grandkids, and everyone felt right at home. There was plenty of space for everyone, including play areas for the kids. We had plenty of fun roaming the yard and gardens and going down to the rock beach. However, we did find it a little awkward getting to the nearby sandy beach as the narrow roads made it too difficult to take young kids - solved with a 5 minute drive. Vincenza our hostess was marvellous and welcoming, and had stocked many staples for our visit. She was extremely helpful! A very enjoyable holiday.

Paradise
This was one of the most beautiful houses we have ever rented - the view from the terrace was glorious and we (two couples) spent most mornings and evenings sitting out looking at the sea. The house is very comfortable and not too cluttered, as many rentals are, with beautiful artworks and artifacts, many by Lidia. Vincenza and Lidia met us at the house having stocked it with two kinds of olives, a huge fruit basket, bread, butter, milk, wine, olive oil, coffee... It was hard to tear ourselves away for sightseeing. We enjoyed pizza at Pizzaria Blume in Cassibile, as well as peppers, meat, cheese and roasted chicken legs with onions and potatoes that we bought at the nearby small grocery store. Laundry was easy since the machine had a 30 minute cycle, unlike some European ones that take hours. The only minor drawback was the somewhat difficult trek to the water and, for fastidious Americans, having to put toilet paper in metal containers instead of flushing it.

Perfect
The villa was spacious, the host was super friendly, the kitchen was fully stocked (and I mean FULLY), and the view was spectacular. Normally, I try hard to find at least one negative about my experience so readers know that my review is from a real person who had a real experience; however, I really can't find one. Okay, I think I have one negative...I stayed only one week when I should have reserved the villa for at least two! Thank you. //john

Terrific villa in easy driving distance to Siracusa (and Catania airport)
Fantastic outside space that easily accommodates a large group. Well equipped kitchen too. Not a lot to do in the immediate vicinity but only 15 minutes from Siracusa, maybe 30 from Noto and an hour from Catania airport so good base for exploring the SE corner of Sicily. Key hand over process worked flawlessly and we were made very welcome.

Great villa by the sea, very quiet and close to Seracusa. The villa lives up to the pictures on the web site. Its breathtaking ! The only drawback is the internet connection, if you really need an internet connection on your holiday you should not choose this villa. otherwise, its a great villa in a wonderful location.

Spacious and comfortable villa close to the sea
We spent a very enjoyable week in this villa at the end of July (2016). It was just what we wanted. The villa is set in its own mature gardens in a quite up-market part of the town. The back of the villa has three large bedrooms, two bathrooms and a big hallway, all air-conditioned. The front, overlooking the sea, has a huge sitting room and well-equipped kitchen. There is a large terrace outside (with comfortable sofas and chairs and a big table for lunch), which is entirely shady except in the early morning and a sunny lower terrace. There is an internal courtyard with various large plants and also another semi-indoors area with a barbecue sink, and a small table to sit at, etc. The front of the villa is not air-conditioned, but most of the time there was a nice breeze coming from the sea. All the rooms have very high ceilings. The villa is beautifully furnished - everywhere you look there are lovely objects. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, with a nice informal area to eat. Pots of basil and mint were a very nice touch, as were the ubiquitous pots of beautiful succulents. A path leads down the sea: perhaps 30 metres to the back gate of the villa, then another 30 metres to a really lovely little bay. The coast is all rocky here (I much prefer that to sand, but you have to wear shoes until you get into the water). The swimming and snorkelling is very good. There are almost no flies, but you have to be careful of mosquitos at dusk. Fontane Bianche is a popular (with Italians - we encountered few foreigners) beach resort and the main sandy beach (about a kilometre along the coast) is crowded. There are a couple of small supermarkets and a fruit/vegetable market about 5 minutes' drive from the villa - easily walkable, though it is not an attractive walk by the road in the heat. There is a very large supermarket complex within 15 minutes drive, and you can go to the market in Ortigia (Syracuse). We didn't go to any local restaurants - eating in the villa was so nice. The baroque towns of Noto and Modica are within easy reach, and also the extraordinary gorges of Cassibile and Cava di Ispica; and much more, of course. Vincenza, who owns the villa, was very helpful, coming by car to rescue us when we couldn't find the villa on arrival (I forgot to print out the map). She speaks English. We also met her cousin who (I think) owns the next-door villa (also very nice - looks as if it sleeps 8) whose English is fluent and idiomatic.

Lovely villa in a beautiful location
The highlight of this villa has to be the great terrace with wonderful views out of the sea. At the bottom of the garden is a gate giving access to the rocky shore and it is easy to get to the sea from an access slip. The villa is comfortably furnished in a traditional style with many interesting local pieces of art. The owner left am excellent selection of bread, fruit and other necessary items that was unexpected and a very useful. The beds were comfortable and the showers, while over the baths, had plenty of hot water. Very quiet and peaceful (apart from the occasional and inevitable gardening in surrounding properties). The motorway is about 10 minutes away and made it easy to get about the East Coast, There are some great places to visit nearby, although Sicilian road signs and tourist information need to be careful interpreted! While there are some mini markets nearby, the bigger supermarkets such as Lidl are to the South in Avola. While the villas is highly recommended, a few points to watch are 1) the internet access was provided by a mobile router which only worked in the evening and then intermittently 2) there are lots of bugs that bite in this part of Sicily. The owner left a basket with a selection of sprays and plug in units that should have puts more on notice especially when we went down to the sea 3) while not advertised, there is a TV but only Italian channels and no DVD.

Wir haben eine wunderbare Woche anfang Novemberhier verbracht. Das Wetter hat auch mitgespielt, was wichtig ist, da die Unterkunft über keine Heizung in der Küche und dem Wohnzimmer verfügt. Wir konnten den Kamin nutzen mußten das Holz jedoch kaufen, das vorhandene war nicht trocken genug. Davon abgesehen ein toller Urlaub!

Helt fantastisk sted. Billederne lyver ikke.
Et virkelig skønt og veludstyret hus. Modtagelsen var varm og gæstfri, og vi følte os godt behandlet af ejerne. Huset ligger med naboer til begge sider, og den nærmest liggende by, Fontane Bianche, er ikke særlig charmerende, men har da et par minimarkeder, en slagter og et grøntudsalg. Alt i alt dog en virkelig god oplevelse.
