About this property

Independent stylish villa over looking the sea with a breathtaking waterfront view. Direct access to the rocky coast, beside our property. Very private and quiet. Located in Mongerbino, 25 km from Palermo. It's in a strategic point to reach many towns and other sites, of artistic and cultural interest : Monreale, Cefalù, Solunto, Bagheria . Agrigento and its temples are one hour away. Very close to Mongerbino are seaports like Porticello and Aspra great for buying fresh fish . Also at only 50 meters away there is an access to the park of 'Monte Catalfano', great for hiking.
The house is entirely surrounded by a nice garden and has a very big terrace which is divided into two parts; one side is exposed to the sun and has a beautiful view of Capo Zafferano and the other side is protected by an awning which gives you privacy. The inside of the house has been remodelled and has a big and very sunny living room, a kitchen, master bedroom and two other bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms have a breattaking view of the sea. Of course a bathroom with a shower. The house is surrounded by windows and you have a beautiful view wherever you look. It's advisable to have a car because the closest centre is 3 km away.

Our concept of quality: Renting out villa Laura Marie, is carried out directly by the owners. We enjoy the house for some weeks during the year and we try to constantly improve it. We love the house and we hope this feeling reaches our guests while they stay in the villa.
Here are some things we can assure you:
- What you see (in the photos ) is what you get
- An accurate cleaning of the house before you arrive.
- A person that will greet you at the house ( usually the owners ), will show you the villa, explain to you whatever you need to know and answer any question . Written instructions about the house.
- The owner is available to answer any question during the reservation process and even after.
- There will be a great number of panphlets books and maps available in the house regarding Sicily and the area around Mongerbino.

At 50 meters from our villa there is an access to Monte Catalfano park. Some trails will bring you into the Mediterranean scrub and will let you observe from above the coast with Capo Zafferano, the village of Aspra and the town of Bagheria.

Train to Palermo: If you want to avoid using the car to arrive in Palermo, reach Bagheria or Santa Flavia Station, park you car and arrive in the city in 10-15 minutes

Amazing stay

We had an amazing stay at the villa! We enjoyed every second of the week we spent there. The views were spectacular. The house itself was clean and well designed, we had everything that we needed during our stay. The hosts are very welcoming and understanding, every little question or demand we had was promptly answered. We hope to return some day!

Lovely Views

This is a great house at a beautiful spot on the coast, well situated for exploring Palermo and beyond. Antonio was an extremely helpful host. The house was very clean, though the surrounding area (indeed much of Sicily) seems to have a trash problem.

Wonderful home in Sicily

Villa Laura Marie is truly a beautiful home for a visit to Sicily. Antonio and Deborah's location on the rocky hillside overlooking the seaside are just as described in listing, only more spectacular in person. Our family of three arrived in early May, Antonio greeted us with easy check in and even arranged reservations for dinner at Can Caus Restaurant. This is a lovely restaurant, close to house and the food was great. This home is the perfect location to explore many areas of Sicily. We had a car, manual drive Jeep Cherokee, necessary to get to grocery stores and day trips from home. We drove to Cefalu for the day, had drinks overlooking the sea at Porta Cefula, then walked the charming area around the cathedral. A must visit is to the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, a two hour drive from Villa Laura Marie. These ancient ruins are incredible, only a visit in person can describe the site and experience. Our trip to Mount Etna did take longer than anticipated, the highway was closed in areas, but this allowed us to see parts of Sicily that included a drive through high mountain passes with hairpin curves, spectacular views over valleys and a few wild hogs grazing the roadside! We were too late to get close to Mount Etna but were able to explore the town of Adrano, with views of the volcano and lots of history from the Norman era. Palermo was a short drive from the home once we discovered a good route, we were able to visit on several days for shopping and dining on excellent food in the small alleyways in front of the Massimo Theater. The port area was also great for a walking experience in Palermo. Above all, we were able to relax and enjoy Villa Laura Marie, a beautiful home and the best place start a visit to Sicily, Again, many thanks to Antonio and Deborah for our family to enjoy our first visit to Sicily.

Beautiful Property With Wonderful Ocean Views

Rented the Villa Laura Marie for a week in September 2021. Antonio & Debbie are very gracious hosts. Their property is immaculate - amazing ocean views and beautiful landscaping. Also, lots of nice little touches inside the house. Really enjoyed relaxing on the patio and taking in the spectacular view of the ocean and Capo Zafferano. The house & property exceeded our expectations in all respects. Antonio was also very helpful in assisting us with a few matters which included finding us a place where we could obtain our COVID testing to get back into the United States. Using the Villa as our base, we visited Cefalu, Segesta & Erice & Monreale by car. All worthwhile trips once you get the hang of the aggressive driving in Sicily. We also took the train to Palermo from Bagheria and spent the day there where we did a walking food tour and took a tour of the Teatro Massimo. A very nice day indeed! Only disappointment in our trip overall was the garbage issue all over Sicily. Especially in the non tourist locations, you will see garbage on the side of the road. We have been to Italy several times and don't remember this to be so noticeable. Whatever the local issues are that allow this to remain, it detracts from the natural beauty of Sicily and the character of its towns and villages. Overall, it was a very nice week at a wonderful property. Fred & Arlene

About the host

Hosted by Antonio D.

A clinical psychologist supported by his wife and daughter to take care of the villa. I like to receive our guests and I personally take care with some help of check-in and check-out; I consider very important to welcome the guests, make them feel confortable from the beginning and explain everything about the house and give some information about the area.
I love the villa and the nature around it ! We usually spend some weeks in July or August and some spring weekends when possible. I received this house from my parents and refurbished it in 2004 .

Why they chose this property

For a full immersion in the nature, for the possibility of watching from the terrace the sea and the sky changing every hour, for a very close access at Monte Catalfano Park, for being a very quiet place at only 25 Km from Palermo. Also for getting a very clean house and for our attention at a simple but stylish interior.
We love this house, love to spend some weeks here and try to pass and share this feeling with our guests.
