Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Ein wundervolles Landhaus
Wir fanden ein gut eingerichtetes Haus vor, das großzügig und in der Einrichtung durchdacht war. Es gab z.B. einen Original-Pizzaofen, Grillmöglichkeiten, eine gut ausgestattete Küche. Zudem waren die Besitzer aufmerksam und sehr freundlich. Wir würden wieder hinfahren. Vielen Dank!

Beautiful house in a beautiful location
Casa Sarculla consists of the main (former) farm house and then a couple of cottages (huddled together in such a mixed up way that it is hard to make sense of it). We rented the main house which had plenty of space for myself and my wife and our two teenage daughters. In fact, it would easily have fitted two couples (plus some children). There is also plenty of privacy (having a few other guests--and their dog 'Follo'--staying in the 'complex' was actually good fun). The house is very well equipped; the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are nice and clean, there is a large living room (the former stables) and a great kitchen (where we spent most of our time together). The house is located on top of hill surrounded by beautiful (this is Sicily thus dry) countryside. You need a car to get there, and with your car your can explore the wider environment: very worthwhile, the landscape (again) is gorgeous, Noto Antica is a real find (especially when it is getting a bit cooler towards the evening). Noto, Modica, Syracuse are all easily reached and very interesting. Testa dell'Acqua is a small village and not particularly interesting, but at least you can get your basic shopping done. Be aware: no gasoline in Testa dell'Acqua, so make sure to fill up in Noto (20 km). Also, no internet...I couldn't care less but... I absolutely loved the place and hope to return before too long.

A tranquil haven from all the mod-cons... Brilliant!
We spent eight days at Casa Sarcula with our two year-old daughter and an old friend. It's a roomy stone cottage set in the rolling countryside surrounding Testa dell Acqua. The cottage would comfortably sleep two couples and there's also a double loft bed and lounge area if there are kids in tow. We developed a real feel for southern Sicily by spending a week here: shopping in the Siracusa's market and bringing mountains of fresh produce home to cook in the wood-fired oven was a fantastic experience that's difficult to replicate in our more regulated 'Heimat'. The historic baroque city of Noto is just down the road, as well as some spectacular beaches (by Mediterranean standards). If you're looking for room to move, sunshine, and tranquility, then it's a tough place to beat. Guido and Antonello were helpful, friendly and, above all, honest hosts who helped us out whenever needed but also afforded us the privacy we were craving. Thank you both.

Luogo incantevole
Abbiamo prenotato sperando in un luogo tranquillo, di campagna, isolato e quando siamo giunti ciò che ci attendeva era superiore alle nostre aspettative. Un rustico ristrutturato con cura e rispetto per l'ambiente e il contesto circostante. Una casa nella quale si coglie l'attenzione ai dettagli che si ha verso uno spazio nel quale si è deciso di vivere momenti importanti. Tutto é avvolto nel silenzio e la notte le stelle rappresentano ancora lo spettacolo più bello cui possiamo assistere. Naturalmente un luogo così incantevole non é propriamente vicino a Noto (si trova nella frazione di Testa dell'Acqua), ma per chi desidera passare alcuni giorni ad assaporare l'atmosfera dell'entroterra per avvicinarsi in punta di piedi alle meraviglie che sa offrire la Sicilia é davvero fantastico.

A paradise in the middle of the Sicilian countryside
Our stay at Casa Sarculla was wonderful. The house is super charming and clean. It is perfectly located : right in the middle of the beautiful Sicilian countryside, but very close to many barroco towns such as Noto or Siracusa. We enjoyed the breathtaking and peaceful environment. Sarah´s parents were very nice and welcoming. We highly recommend this authentic Sicilian country house.
