"everything is perfect here. dream like atmosphere."

"We stayed here mostly because it was close to the Valley of the Temples (which btw are not worth going to if you've been to the Acropolis). It's a nice property, with an ok breakfast, and good staff. "

"My wife and I stayed here in November 2025 along with another couple. As is noted in other reviews, the pictures don't do the villa justice and it is exactly as advertised. The road in and out (last few miles) is a bit difficult to traverse and renting a 4 wheel drive as suggested by the host is a very good idea. Other than that, the place is absolutely fantastic, including the location generally for touring around Sicily (in particular Palermo, Cefalu and surrounding areas). The villa is exceptional and fully stocked with everything required. Beyond that, the hosts (Paul and David) go above and beyond in every way, including facilitating everything you need for arrival, ensuring your every need is met and providing great recommendations for tour spots, wineries and restaurants (even making reservations). They are both amazing people and joined us a number of evenings for some wine around the outdoor fireplace. They also have a local chef they recommend for in-house dining - chef Bruno and his partner Giovanni and they are absolutely wonderful and the price is extremely reasonable (less than comparable meal at a restaurant) Probably the best meals we had in Italy were with them and we had them cook more than 4 evenings (would have been more but we did tour around a fair amount). Bruno also hosted a cooking class for us and it was brilliant. If you stay here having chef Bruno cook is an absolute must. Overall we can't rate the villa or Paul and David high enough. "

"Everything was amazing!!! Best place to stay!! 100 percent recommending to anyone asking for a stay in this area"

"Overall nice house, bit dated/scruffy inside and out. Looked amazing and private on VRBO. However this is the downstairs of a large property and the owner lives upstairs. Not what we wanted and had we known we wouldn't have booked it. No privacy with the owner looking down from the balconies above. While her son's piano playing was first class, we didn't appreciate it at 8 a.m. Considering the list of rules about noise we found it a bit unfair. We were there with 5 of our kids in their 20's and enforced the quiet rules on them.The pool was out of bounds from 2-4 which we found out at the end of our stay was the for owners convenience as she slept then. The spider was in the pool most of the morning making it also unuseable. The pool was very small, not able to swim use inflatables as you were always near the edge - dangerous IMO. Wooden loungers were impossible to lay on they were rock hard and no cushions.Wouldn't stay there again "

"Cleaning service was excellent. Parking was also good, but it was off season so there weren’t too many guests. The ambience around the pool was stellar with comfortable canopies beds and places to enjoy the sun. Breakfast was provided by the neighboring restaurant, and the woman who made omelettes could not have been more un-friendly! In fact, “omelette lady” has now become code between my husband and me for a person who is not nice. Our bed was too bouncy, but the room was spacious. We had a flood from the shower into the bedroom, and the staff told us not to worry about it and that it was “normal.” That struck us as strange, but we figured it was an Italian thing."

"Lovely place with great views. The staff were very friendly and the farm tour was a great addition to the stay. Would recommend!"

"Overall experience outstanding, home away from home we didn’t wanted to leave. The villa is spacious and beautiful decorated. Comfortable and well maintained, the view is priceless. The real jewel is the property manager, who goes out of his way to ensure your satisfaction. Thank you for a wonderful experience "

"Beautiful property! Amazing views and we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Paolo and Morena are perfect hosts and were easy to comminicate with. They do everything to make you feel at home. Be sure to visit their family owned jewelry store. We were treated like Kings and Queens there and bought some beautiful pieces. Do not hesitate to stay here!"
