About this property

Tranquil setting for a relaxing break at La Casa degli Ulivi

A modern built, but traditional style house in a beautiful peaceful setting within it's own olive grove, producing our fabulous olive oil. The house is on two floors and has a total floor space of approx 80 sq metres. The top floor consists of a big open plan main bedroom with king sized bed and mosquito net if required! There is a long balcony off the main bedroom with a view across the vineyards to the sea, ideal to sit and chill. The rear bedroom has two single beds with walk in wardrobe space with a balcony which overlooks the pool, garden and olive grove. In between the two bedrooms is a small shower room with basin and toilet. The downstairs has a big living area incorporating a fully equipped modern kitchen including fridge freezer, gas hob, electric fan oven and dishwasher with a deLonghi coffee machine for those essential Italian espressos!! There is a separate utility room which houses a washer/drier and ironing board etc. A further bedroom is at the rear of the ground floor which has a very comfortable steel framed king sized fold out sofa bed if required. There are French doors leading out to the garden. Also on this floor is a large shower room with shower, basin, toilet and bidet. The garden has a large patio area with a pagoda covering it with the 35 sq metre swimming pool set within a lawned garden with many colourful plants and trees. This is a very relaxing spot to laze around the pool with a glass or two of the sensational local wines. A further covered area to the side of the house is perfect for those long lazy Sicilian lunches with the family. All living areas are fully air conditioned via individual remote control for your comfort. The house and garage are fully alarmed and there is WiFi available for your convenience. The bed linen is all luxurious Egyptian cotton and bathroom towels are included. A car is essential as the house is located approx 5km from the very typically Sicilian town of Menfi and a similar distance to the beautiful blue flagged beaches of Porto Palo and Lido Fiori. The location is a great base to explore this fabulous region of Sicily, with The Valley of the Temples at Agrigento about an hour away and Selinunte very close as well as the beautiful architecture of Marzara del Vallo and the vibrant fishing port of Sciacca. For golfers, the world class resort of Verdura is half an hour's drive. There are many fabulous restaurants in Menfi and the surrounding area including Tenuta Stoccatello, Il Vigneto and the very famous Da Vittorio all serving the very finest cuisine this part of Sicily has to offer. 1 hour from Palermo airport. 45 mins from Birgi airport. Car is essential.

Lovely Villa tranquil and quiet
We were met by Nino who showed us where the Villa was he was extremely helpful, he went through everything we needed to know. Brought us tea twice when we were there made us feel at home. We had a big problem with our hired car, he was more than happen to help us. Made us feel safe and welcome.

Lovely house and pool in rural location
Martin is a great host - responsive to messages and very helpful. The house is tricky to find, so Martin's local contact Nino met us on the edge of town and we followed in the car. We arrived after dark so this was really essential as the house is a distance from any main roads and the last section in particular is extremely "rural"! The house itself is exactly as it appears online. It's clean, bright and spacious. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils. The outside area is great - the pool is wonderful, and there is a nice seating area and plentiful lounge chairs. Each room has a separate modern A/C unit that works quietly and efficiently. The main bedrooms are upstairs - the "master" bedroom is open plan (the stairs come up directly into the room) so we decided on arrival to put the two children (15 and 12) upstairs, one in the master bedroom and one in the smaller bedroom at the back. They had use of a shared bathroom between the two rooms. We (the adults) took the third bedroom on the ground floor at the back. This gave us privacy and our own bathroom WC - we closed off the kitchen door and that effectively gave us our own living space. It was also really nice to wake up and open the doors straight out onto the pool area! Just bear in mind that the bed is a sofa bed so not as comfy as the king bed in the master bedroom. There are a couple of very nice beaches locally (15 minutes drive) and two local supermarkets. All in all a lovely house and we had a great time!

Maison un peu trop isolé
Belle maison, avec des agencements de qualité. Dommage que la climatisation de la chambre parents fonctionne mal et que le toit soit trop bas. Manque des ustensiles pour le barbecue, sinon le reste est parfait. Ps Eau non potable

Schöner Urlaub auf Sizilien
Wir hatten zu 5. einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft. Es gab keine direkten Nachbarn, was wir als sehr angenehm empfunden haben. Die Außenanlage ist sehr schön. Leider hat die Klimaanlage im 1. OG nicht richtig funktioniert, sodass sich die Räumlichkeiten sehr aufgeheizt haben. Zudem war das Geschirr relativ dreckig. Die Duscharmaturen könnten ebenfalls eine Neuerung vertragen, da diese bereits sehr verrostet sind. Ansonsten war alles sehr schön und zufriedenstellend.

Belle maison , belle piscine, mais chambres à revoir
Tres belle maison spacieuse et joliment aménagée. Climatisation puissante dans toutes les pièces. Jardin tout aussi joli avec une piscine grande et profonde, très agréable. La maison est 'perdue' en pleine nature au milieu des champs de vignes et d'oliviers, le décors est vraiment charmant et le bruit des cigales très dépaysant. Beau couché de soleil tous les soir sur la piscine au fond du jardin. Attendez-vous à être entouré de beaucoup d’insectes : guêpes, taon, mouches et moustiques. DEET obligatoire. De belles et grandes plages à 10-15 minutes de voitures très agréables et peut fréquentées. Bref une très belle maison avec une très belle piscine le tout dans un décors magnifique. Hélas la maison comporte un gros point négatif, la partie nuit : deux des trois chambres possèdent plusieurs fenêtres sans aucun rideaux ni volets ! Grand jour dès 05h50 en Juillet dans les 2 chambres du haut, et pour l'une d'entre elle, lumière toute la nuit éclairée par les lampes puissantes du portail allumées toute la nuit. Proposer des chambres sans aucun moyen d'y apporter la pénombre, c'est très étrange. La chambre du rez de chaussé avec volets est quand à elle équipée d'un canapé lit dont le confort ne pourra satisfaire que de jeunes enfants. Bref nous avons tous les 6 très mal dormis dans cette maison pourtant très belle et superbement équipée. Des volets pour les chambres du hauts et un vrai lit dans la chambre du bas sont absolument nécessaire de notre point de vue.
