Villa Gelso, Elio & Giovanna's country house, Ragusa

We stayed in the country house of our friends Elio and Giovanna, in Ragusa, Sicily for a few days last week, to say goodbye and see Bella Sicilia one more time. Here are some views of this peaceful place set in the Ragusa countryside. Here's a link to Elio's website if you want to find out more about pricing and availability etc: http://www.affittocasa.net/sicily-italy/index.html
