Commonly known as the “Caribbean of Syracuse” for its crystal-clear waters, Fontane Bianche is a seaside destination located between Syracuse and Noto. In this authentic land kissed by the Mediterranean Sea, Stella del Mare Apartments is the perfect choice for many travellers, who can enjoy all the necessary comforts just a few kilometres from the area’s main attractions.
Dimore al Mare is located at Via Taormina 3/5/7, just 50 metres from the sea, while the Apartments and the Villa are situated at Via Calliope 17, approximately 350 metres from the shoreline.
For local transportation upon arrival, we recommend making use of the car rental service we have been working with for years, Acarent: a reliable choice for discovering the gems of Eastern Sicily.
