Holiday rentals near Porto di Castellammare del Golfo

If you want stunning views, serenity and tranquility, this property delivers in bucket loads! The pool is amazing and somehow keeps itself free of leaves and petals from the lovely plants in the grounds. Lots of outdoor seating areas. A fully equipped kitchen, that had everything we needed. I slept better in the 9 nights that we stayed here, better than I’ve ever slept - a combination of the comfy bed, the peace and a little help of a glass of lemoncello before bed!The only slight negatives for us - and it might not be for others - there were no mattresses on the sunbeds and there was no shelf in either of the shower units, which was only minor for us, could prove a problem with people with mobility issues (having to bend down for soap, shampoo etc). It should be said that both showers gave exceptional water pressure! Bottled water providedOur choice of restaurants didn’t give us quite the Sicilian experience we were expecting, but had we travelled further afield, I’m sure it would have been completely different. The ice cream shop locally has great ice creams! You need a car to get around - so many places to visit. You must go to Erice if you stay at Villa Lomellini - beautiful. Also, San Vito Lo Capo - especially at night when the lights are on in the main street; so pretty.Communication with the owners, Miriam and Ronny,was first class - responding to messages almost instantly. The green information folder could do with an update!A fabulous place to stay!

The host was very helpful with directing us to the villa and meet us with a big smile. They also kindly gave us some home made biscuits and pasta made from here own flour. The property was very clean and tidy and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots, pans, bowels, etc. The bathrooms were lovely to use and the beds comfortable in specious bedrooms. Special mention for the very pleasant smell of the clean sheets. Nearest 'larger' food shops are a short 5-10 minute drive away, but there is another smaller local shop about 10 minutes walk from the villa. Due to the time of the year some of the local restaurants were closed but we ended up eating at the villa every night. We used the barbecue twice and found it very easy to use. The pool was beautifully clean and well used by us day and night. Would very happily recommend to friends and family. Do check that the location is right for you as there is a relatively lively restaurant nearby. We found it fun to overhear the happy singing and atmosphere. The road to the front of the villa is busy at times, but not overly intrusive.

We had a wonderful time, it’s hard to describe how beautiful the setting is. The view and the swimming cove are perfect. The apartment is well equipped and very clean, we slept well and Hanni was very kind. We had a problem with accessing our vrbo account, and generally with communication because we had lost a phone whilst hiking, the family were very understanding. We would love to come back and thank you! Hannah and Jake

The styling and the position of the villa is incredible. Better than pictures could show

We had a gorgeous time in this stunning villa. I highly recommend it for the place itself, the beaches close by, the pool, the owner, the cleaners, the garden, the surrounding areas, the local chef that came to cook for us…. Everything was magical.

We had a very lovely time. Stayed for 10 full days and enjoyed Sicily very much. The location of the property is wonderful. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and beach. The apartment was cute and comfortable to stay at, however it needs a little TLC as the bathroom could use some renovating and some beds were very hard to sleep on. However, overall it was very good and clean and we all enjoyed our stay there. The owners / hosts were the most welcoming, accommodating and wonderful people. Communication was easy and any needs and questions always met. It was a pleasure to meet them. I would very highly recommend staying at Maria’s house.

The villa is very clean and comfortable and the hosts keep in touch so that you feel very secure throughout the booking process. It's situated off the main road amongst a beautiful backdrop of mountains and sea. It's airy and cool even in high temperatures. In terms of the local area - there are some wonderful beaches all around but you will need a car as it is off a main road and the local eateries are a short car drive away.
