Testimonials

“We spent two wonderful days at Judith and Jonathan's house. The house is in a small village, Testa dell Acqua, 25 min by car from Noto and Palazzolo, which permit to visit easily these nice cities. The room is clean, beautiful and tastefully decorated, beds and pillows are extremely comfortable. All of this brings calm and serenity. We highly recommend this place and hope we will come back to see Judith and Jonathan again. Thanks a lot!”

“We were extremely lucky to find Casa Khalesa and spend two wonderful days here. This has been a very special stay for me. Judith and Jonathan are extremely welcoming people and the perfect hosts. The house with its huge terrace and garden is stunning. The room, as the rest of the house, is very well decorated and super clean. Despite the high temperatures no air-condition was needed at night. I can't wait to come back to this marvellous place! Thanks again.”

Thank you for your amazing hospitality, and for cooking dinner for us on our last night. The atmosphere is just perfect.”
