Wonderful house in perfect privacy - happy to stay again!
We (ages 62, 39, 38 and 10) spent our summer holiday in Sicily staying the villa for three weeks, taking short overnight stays in Agrigento, Taormina and Trapani (made necessary only to avoid driving back and forth on the same day).
We found the villa to be exactly as advertised - plenty of space in living-, bed- and bathrooms as well as outside. The décor is not new and flashy - to our liking, the villa is tastefully and comfortably decorated throughout and we did not lack anything.
The villa is located in absolute privacy (no close neighbours and no outsiders able to view in on the property) in an olive orchard on a hillside with views to both the Madonie-mountains to the south and to the ocean on the north. The location ensures a light breeze which ensures reasonable temperatures, even during the hot Sicilian summer.
Only downside to the location is the rather steep (and long) driveway - we certainly were glad that we rented a 4x4 and would recommend that others do the same.
Communication with rental agency and owner both before and during our stay was seamless and easy. The villa was handed to us by the owner who had prepared it beautifully for us - a delight after a long journey indeed. During the stay, we had good assistance from the caretaker of the property (the water tank is to be monitored, as one should expect in a country house in Sicily, and the caretaker handles the olive orchard as well as pool maintenance) and really, we felt well taken care of.
In other words; for those who are looking for a beautiful spot in perfect privacy in Sicily, we are more than happy to recommend this villa. We would certainly be happy to stay again.
