What a wonderful place to stay in Southern Sicily. The apartment is spacious, and beautifully fitted out. The outside space is generous with lots of options for sun and shade, and the pool is amazing. The photos on the site do not do it justice.

Gabriella and Andrea were very welcoming and flexible on our arrival and departure time where they could. The house was perfect and as described and photographed. The sea view was more breathtaking than we had imagined. The pool is wonderful offering the perfect size depth and temperature for most families of all ages. We were made up of 2 couples with 4 children including 2 babies who were provided very suitable cots and bedding. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean and comfortable with nice decoration. Gabriella and Andrea were kind enough to offer us small personal touches on arrival and throughout the stay. The local area was very nice with access to the beach, ice cream shops and supermarkets 5 minutes away. The local cities were wonderful to visit in the evening. Scicli was a wonderful surprise and our favourite over the further drives to Noto and Ragusa. We enjoyed a wonderful and relaxing stay for 7 nights and would love to come back.

The Best Stay In Sicily & Superb Hosts

This is a beautiful place to stay, peaceful at night and breath-taking views of the Ocean during the day. We have enjoyed every moment at Acquaterra and the Hosts are the best at making you feel welcome like old friends. We have enjoyed our stay in Scicli and have found this location to be ideal for visiting all this coastline has to offer.

A slice of Sicilian paradise

A marvelous location from which to explore south east Sicily. Exceptionally beautiful villa that is comfortable, clean and well appointed with a spacious garden and fabulous pool. The view down to the coast is stunning and the location peaceful. The owners live next door and are friendly, helpful, informative and kind, making this an exceptional holiday. We are already planning our return…

We as a family have spent a wonderfull week in Aquaterra. Gabriella and Andrea are wonderful host, they great us with own tomatoes, ricotta, bottle of wine and gave us very good advises which places and beach we can visit around. Even they leave next door, we did not have a feeling of disturbance. Gabriella was always helpful when we asked her for a hint where to have a dinner or what spot is nice to visit. So, both Andrea and Gabriella are very nice and charming people.All 3 bedrooms are very clean and comfortable. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need. The pool is wonderful and very clean (salt techology, not a chlor is being used to clean the water, what makes water quality very good). The location is very relaxing and quite. You can enjoy nice evenings at the pool with a sunset and sea view. The area is surrounded by a fence and the gate, so it is very safe there. You need a car to drive to a village, so there is no bakery in the walking distance. But it was fully okay for us. We can 100% recommend Aquaterra and would be happy to come back again.

Excellent holiday experience

It was a holiday experience that fully fulfill our expectations - the pictures fully showed what we came to, where the quality of the holiday home is very good and the transfer was thorough and communication with the landlord was easy, furthermore the landlord came with input to local attractions which can be recommended to receive. In particular, I would like to highlight the very open approach from the landlord.

A warm welcome in a lovely house!

We felt very welcome by Gabriella and Andrea in a beautiful (new) house. The location was perfect for hot sunny days due to a perfect breeze and a swimming pool with salted water (good for your skin!). Perfect location to practice yoga under the tree, running in rural area and beautiful beach near Sampieri. Quite, well equipped kitchen (we Lieke to cook and bake focacia) and good beds and bathrooms. We will come back! Thank you for your hospitality!!!

Fantastic stay!

Our vacation at Gabriella and Andrea's place was nothing short than outstanding. Gabriella responsiveness to our questions prior to our arrival was immediate. Upon our arrival we were greeted by Gabriella and Andrea as close friends and throughout our entire stay they provided us with information about the surroundings and with things that we forgot to carry or buy (including lemons:). The property is gorgeous! From the view to the amenities our stay went beyond our expectations. We are looking forward to going back in the near future and thank once again Gabriella and Andrea for their warm welcoming.

Amazing property and lovely hosts

Already when we entered through the iron gates and drove along the driveway through the spacious garden, we felt the special atmosphere of this property. We were greeted warmheartedly by our lovely hosts Gabriella and Andrea who presented us a few nice welcome gifts, showed us around the house, garden and pool and provided a few instructions to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The rooms were meticulously clean, and the garden and pool had even been prepared for our three kids with nets to play ball sports and a ping pong table. We could immediately start to relax and enjoy our vacation surrounded by the beguiling scent of jasmine and a sweeping view of the sea. Throughout the whole stay, our hosts provided great recommendations what to see and do, where to wine and dine, and very amazingly responsive to each and every question we had. There's literally nothing we could have wished more for with this rental, and we'd like to thank Gabriella and Andrea from the bottom of our hearts for the great holiday experience.

Traumhafter Aufenthalt – es hat an nichts gefehlt!Ein riesiges Dankeschön an Gabriella und Andrea! Die beiden waren fantastische Gastgeber: stets erreichbar, super herzlich und voller toller Tipps (vom regionalen Schlachter für unsere Grillabende bis zu Märkten und Ausflügen).Die Finca bietet einen herrlichen Ausblick aufs Meer, tolle Sitzgelegenheiten drinnen wie draußen und einen super sauberen Pool. Zum Strand fährt man nur ca. 10 Minuten.Auch die Ausstattung lässt keine Wünsche offen: Handtücher, Seife, Shampoo, Pooltücher und sogar eine Waschmaschine und ein Geschirrspüler sind da. Die Küche ist lückenlos ausgestattet (Kaffeemaschine, Ofen, Mikrowelle mit Grill). Mit 3 Schlafzimmern (Doppelbetten), 3 Bädern und zwei großen, gemütlichen Couchen ist extrem viel Platz – hier könnten problemlos auch 8 Personen schlafen.Absolut empfehlenswert, wir kommen gerne wieder!Ganz Liebe Grüße Jessika, Stephen, Lana, Leni & Lio

What a fabulous place! Gabriella and Andrea welcomed us and were excellent hosts giving us lots of tips on exploring the area. The house is remote and therefore very peaceful. A true oasis of calm. Just what we needed for a relaxing holiday. You will need a car. Sampieri is around an 8 minute drive away and has good cafes and restaurants, a small grocery store and the beach is great.I mustn’t forget about the pool! Splendid! We loved it and spent a lot of time here. The views are spectacular. You won’t regret booking a stay here.

Absolute Weiterempfehlung: Ein kleines Paradies in SizilienUnser Aufenthalt: Mai 2026 (2 Erwachsene, 1 Tochter, 6 Jahre)---Ein außergewöhnliches Urlaubserlebnis!Wir waren Ende Mai 2026 für eine Woche in der traumhaften Ferienunterkunft Aquaterra in Scicli und sind noch immer völlig begeistert! Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einer erholsamen Auszeit in atemberaubender Umgebung sind, dann sind Sie hier genau richtig.Die Lage und die Umgebung sind einfach großartig. Von der Unterkunft aus hat man einen atemberaubenden Meerblick, der uns jeden Morgen aufs Neue verzaubert hat. Die Gegend um Scicli und Sampieri ist wunderschön – perfekt für traumhafte Strandtage und Ausflüge. Unsere Tochter hatte viel Platz zum Spielen und Toben, die Umgebung ist sehr sicher und kinderfreundlich.Das Haus selbst war ein absoluter Traum: sehr sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen entspannten Familienurlaub braucht. Besonders begeistert waren wir von den traumhaften Außenbereichen, den Pool haben wir täglich genutzt. Der Garten ist wunderschön angelegt und lädt zum Verweilen ein.Das absolute Highlight war jedoch die Gastfreundschaft der Besitzer. Wir wurden so herzlich und zuvorkommend empfangen, wie man es sich nur wünschen kann.Für Familien ist Aquaterra bestens geeignet. Unserer Tochter hat es sehr gut gefallen, und auch wir als Eltern konnten uns wunderbar entspannen.Fazit: Diese Unterkunft ist ein echtes Kleinod, uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen.

Herrlicher Urlaub

Die Unterkunft ist grossräumig, sehr sauber, äußerst geschmackvoll und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Die Aussenanlagen sind sehr geplegt, bieten viel Platz und haben eine gute Ausstattung. Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und bei Bedarf äußerst hilfsbereit, ansonsten aber sehr zurückhaltend. In ca. 1 km Entfernung ist ein Agriturismo bei dem ein lokales Menü erhält. Insgesamt war es ein absoluter Wohlfühlurlaub, den wir sehr genossen haben. Gerne mal wieder.

Traumhafter Urlaub

Wir waren eine Reisegruppe von fünf Freunden, die hier herrliche 14 Tage verlebt haben. Zur Begrüßung gab es frische Tomaten aus dem hauseigenen Garten, einen tollen Ricotta Käse und einen Flasche Champagner. Gabriella und Andrea sind tolle Vermieter, die sich um alles kümmern und sehr herzlich sind. Sie haben uns wertvolle Tipps gegeben, stehen jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite und sind immer ansprechbar. Das Haus ist wirklich wunderschön, die Küche lässt keine Wünsche offen. Wir haben hier sehr gerne gekocht und durften uns hierzu auch aus dem Garten Tomaten, Paprika, Basilikum, Peperonis und Rosmarin nehmen. Der Pool hat eine wunderbare Lage, es ist absolut ruhig dort und die Aussicht ist einfach bombastisch. Die Schlafzimmer und die Badezimmer sind modern und sehr gut ausgestattet. Ganz in der Nähe ist ein sehr nettes Lokal, das .Agriturismo. Hier gibt es regionale und frische Produkte, sehr empfehlenswert! Es gibt so viel zu sehen, Noto, Ragua Ibla etc. wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

The stay in Acquaterra was lovely from the beginning to the end. We were welcomed by our hosts as old friends. The amenities of the house were explained to us in detail. The place is cleverly designed and beautifully decorated. The views out of each room are spectacular. The pool is just for the guests and the garden is peacefully planted with local vegetation. We will certainly be coming back. I recommend this holiday home to anyone who values a relaxing holiday.

Diese Villa ist einfach traumhaft. Sehr schön eingerichtet und sauber. Toller Garten und super Swimmingpool mit fantastischem Ausblick auf das Meer. Die Besitzer sind extrem nett und bemüht. Wir konnten Gemüse aus dem Garten nehmen und haben auch frische Pesto bekommen. Es hat alles, was man braucht. Es gibt einen Vorrat an Kaffee, Tee, Gewürzen und Wasch- und Spülmittel. Wir konnten 6 Nächte bleiben und wären am liebsten gar nicht abgereist. Unbedingt zu empfehlen.
