Belle maison où il fait bon vivre

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans la maison de Maria. Notre hôte nous a bien accueilli et était toujours disponible quand nous l’avons contacté. Nous avons bien profité du patio et de la terrasse. Location idéale pour une famille avec 2, 3 ou même 4 enfants. Nous avons également apprécié la plage juste en bas, ainsi que la proximité avec Palerme et Cefalù.

Valeur sûre !

Maison très bien placée, permettant de profiter de la plage toute proche comme de partir à la découverte de la Sicile en train (gare très proche) ou en voiture (autoroute facilement accessible). La propriétaire et sa famille nous ont réservé un accueil très chaleureux et le cours de cuisine est un très bon moment, sympathique, convivial et... délicieux ! La maison est bien agencée, assez calme et a beaucoup de charme. Les prestations (linge de toilette et de plage, matériel de cuisine et équipement électroménager) sont irréprochables. Cette maison est une valeur sûre et nous y avons passé une semaine parfaite.

Great place, great hostess

Villa Bragone is not in the top tourists spots, but you can get anywhere you want with a short drive. Excellent restaurant very nearby. The village of Trabia is very close where you will find a nice grocery store. Maria, the owner is wonderful and is always a quick text away if needed. There is a wonderful garden on the property with fresh fruit. Great lemons! For half the price of other properties in places like Cefalù, this is our choice location. We took the short drive to Cefalù, paid 6 Euros for all day parking and enjoyed the village and beach. You can pay more, but you won’t get more.

Excellent property and a welcoming home!

Entering the house, climb a short set of steps to the spacious office and work area. Shelves are filled with information on Sicily and Italy and a comfortable desk next to a power strip. A door off the office accesses an open air patio with several comfortable chairs, a quiet place to relax and read. Through a large opening, the next room is the living room with a large TV and cable service, a couch and chairs. Passing through the living room, you reach a hallway connecting the entrances to three bedrooms, two bathrooms and the kitchen. Two bedrooms have large, comfortable beds, while the third has upper and lower bunk beds. The kitchen is fully furnished and featured a container of freshly pressed delicious olive oil from the family's surrounding trees. Outside the kitchen door is patio shaded by an ancient olive tree, an excellent place for morning coffee or afternoon drinks. We arrived shortly after 1500 on a Sunday and Maria suggested we try the Bragone restaurant, a short drive (or walk) up the hill from the house. It was excellent! We ate there twice during our short stay. Maria and Aldo came over the first morning to help arrange our sightseeing. All their suggestions were spot on! Sights visited on days trips included Palermo, Monreale, Eriche, Cefalu and Agrigento. Maria was available to help whenever we needed her, which was a blessing. One afternoon Aldo went to the fish market and came back with clams, squid, shrimp and mussels, which he taught us how to combine with a special Sicilian caper for spaghetti that was just outrageously good. We highly recommend this property and its gracious hosts when you are in this part of Sicily.

Classy and characterful

We really enjoyed staying in this house. The location is ideal for touring the local region. The house itself is full of character and charm, with unique features such as wooden blinds and ironwork. It was very well clean and well-maintained, and it was really airy and spacious. We were able to walk to the nearby restaurant with same name as the house, just up the hill, and that was excellent as well. There are beautiful views of the sea and the nearest beach (no sand-just stones) was a short walk away, although across a busy road. The owners were charming and helpful so I would recommend this house to anyone visiting this part of Sicily.

Beautiful villa with great location !

We stayed at the beautiful Villa Bragone for 8 weeks (from mid-January to early March 2016). It has everything you wish for: well appointed kitchen, bedrooms & bathrooms in a very attractive decor . Maria was a delight: she gave us good travel and restaurant tips and went above our expectations in arranging a cooking class at the Villa for us and my visiting sister and husband ! It was one of the many highlights of our trip . We rented a car at the airport on our arrival to explore the many attractions of Sicily (Cefalu, Cacamo, Syracusa, Agrigento , etc.) and never regretted it, although we took a train to visit Palermo, as recommended. The Villa is nicely located and became a great springboard for exploring the surrounding cities. We were there also at the time of Carnavale in Termini Imerese (in February) . What a nice show of costumes and floats ! And thanks to Maria and her welcoming family, we had a superb view of it all . All in all, we had a wonderful time discovering the beauties of Sicily and we are very grateful for the warm welcoming of Maria and her gentleman husband, Aldo. As for timing, we love our time at the villa, particularly the months of February and March (as January was a bit cool for our liking). Sicily has so much to offer (history, landscapes, beaches, gastronomy, wine ) and the Villa is a great base to discover it all.

Attractive, well appointed villa

We chose the property because we didn't want to hire a car and we could get there from the airport using public transport. The description was very attractive and the villa lived up to our expectations. It was spacious and well appointed and the garden and patio were lovely. The station a ten minute walk away meant we could easily get to Palermo and Termini and with a change at Termini also to Cefalu.Trabia centre was a 5 minute walk away, where the choice of shops for buying food was good, and there was a market on Mondays. The locals are very friendly and greeted us every time we passed. Maria is incredibly welcoming and helpful. She pointed out the best shops for meat and fish. As we had no car, lifts were offered, into Termini for example. We sampled the families olives and pomegranates. The choice of eating out in the evening in Trabia is limited but fortunately the local taverna up the lane from the villa proved to be very good and very friendly. With a car, obviously Termini offers a wider choice. We wanted a quiet retreat to read and write and not particularly to do the tourist thing.We found the perfect space.

Lovely house!

we had a fantastic week there, from the house we could see the beautiful view of Sicily. We felt such as in our sweet home. The owners took care of us. If it is possible we will come back there again!

The Villa was comfortable

We enjoyed our stay at the Villa, Maria the owner was very helpful and had plenty of recommendations and information about points of interest to visit while we were there. We did not have a car so it was a 15 minute walk to the train station, up and down hills, and along side of a main road. Probably if small children will be staying there you would definitely need a car.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Ciofalo

Host profile image
I'm a teacher and a touristic guide in Sicily. I like travelling and hosting. Thanks to hospitality in my countryhome I meet very interesting people from different countries and cultures and they are all and always welcome! My guests like sustainability as I do and help us to protect the local community by globalization, preserving the Mediterranean traditions in food, events, gardens, art and crafts.

Why they chose this property

My property was passed down through generations. Ancient family fornitures and modern equippment create a peaceful and warm atmosphere and an ideal place for families, friends or artists who like good life quality, delicious food and fresh sea air.
When my grandgrandfather built this beautiful country house in the nineteenth century, it was used by the family in summer and by the travelers, who need a rest in the way to Palermo or Messina. We do the same now and we still are happy to taste with our guests local high quality extravergine olive oil and good wines.

What makes this property unique

When you arrive, you will fall in love with the internal porch and the bright living room with sight to the coast.
This Villa is the right one if you want to live as Sicilian gentry do, having the suggestions of local people and meet them too, cooking together or playing cards or going to the local concerts and theaters.
