"We had a lovely stay at Ciro's house! We stayed 9 nights, the house is small but perfectly enough for us (2 adults and a 3 year old) and you will spend most of the time in the amazing garden. Everything was very clean, plenty of towels, brand new shower, washing machine, the kitchen is really well equipped (including 3 different options for making coffee!), the house also has A/C. Shaded parking area right outside the gate. The garden is definitely the highlight, it is so spacious with a pool, loungers, sandpit, swings and slide, and a BBQ. The child gate at the bottom of the steps to the pool is amazing when you have small children and the whole garden is fully secure. We couldn't ask for a better place to stay with our daughter, she loved it so much. Ciro is lovely, so friendly and always on hand to help if we needed anything. Really recommend this property to everyone!"

"The breakfast was amazing! The room was super- spacious, comfortable bed. Unfortunately the room was hot, the a/c didn’t work so we opened the door and turned on the fan. We slept Great! So in the current weather with cool nights we were able to work with it. Don’t know how it would be in summer heat if a/c doesn’t work. "

" Very responsive when I locked myself out of the room "

"A little bit dated but everything functional. Good location."

"Parking is easy and location is convenient for Palermo Airport. We were there in the winter but it looks like it would be lovely in warm weather. We enjoyed the dinner there and appreciated not having to drive off site. "

"We loved our stay at Ciro’s Sicilian villa.The villa was spotless and beautifully maintained. Fast, reliable internet made it easy to stay connected. The private pool is a highlight and thoughtfully designed for child safety - one reason we chose it for our young ones.We were pleasantly surprised by how quiet the property is despite being near a road. Evenings on the terrace were peaceful. Balestrate beach is easily the best beach in the area and just 5 mins down the road.Ciro is a splendid host: helpful and accommodating. Arrival and departure were effortless, and he shared excellent local tips for nearby and day-trip adventures.Highly recommended for families and couples - a real hidden gem."

"Stayed here with my family. Overall, the experience was good. The host was friendly and shared lots of tips via WhatsApp, including dining and boat trips. The pool area was lovely, and the apartment was decent. It’s about a 15-minute walk to town (with one steep hill), but the town is charming with great food at reasonable prices. We appreciated having two parking spaces (one inside the gate and one outside).On the downside: the apartment needs refreshing as many things feel old and worn. Power sockets were very limited (only one in the kitchen and three in total across bedrooms). Air conditioning costs extra, which wasn’t clearly stated. The property is spread over two levels with a roof terrace, but note there are three apartments upstairs plus the owner’s family downstairs, so the pool is shared with more guests than expected. The pool closes strictly at 8 PM. One hot evening I went for a late swim and was told it wasn’t allowed; the next day, the host said she reported us to Vrbo and could evict us, which felt extreme.Other points: The host said we could keep rubbish in bins on the balcony during the stay, but on checkout morning, we were asked to take it all downstairs. The washing machine is shared and often used by the host between turnovers, so it was hard to access.If you’re okay with strict rules and an older apartment, it’s a decent stay. If you want more flexibility, it may not be for you."

"Excellent stay, had all what I needed"

"My husband and I had the privilege of staying here for the entire month of June and it was amazing. It is very accessible to the Palermo airport. The home is exactly as described. The beds are very comfortable and the view is fantastic. It is well equipped for cooking and laundry. We took many day trips and were always so happy to come back to our little house on the hill. There is always a cool breeze from the sea and the terraces are the perfect place to enjoy those breezes. Ciro is an amazing property manager with great communication and attention to detail. His English was very good! Andrea, the owner, is so very kind and came by every morning to water his garden and his many olive trees. He was very quiet if we were sleeping and always happy to talk to us if we were available even though our Italian was not good. I would highly recommend this home away from home. I would also strongly suggest having a car to reach this house up the steep driveway and surrounding towns for day trips. This is a great home base. I can't say enough good things about this place. For us, it was a trip of a lifetime. Grazie mille Andrea e Ciro."
