This property is magical! We were greeted by our host Gaetano and his daughter. They were such lovely people. They had a tray of Sicilian pastries for us when we arrived! The pool is beautiful! The property is filled with beautiful lemon trees, which we were welcome to take. There is a huge garden with chickens. We were allowed to take some delicious onions and Gaetano even brought us eggs a few times during our stay! The property is conveniently located near Palermo airport and close to the coast. There are plenty of grocery stores nearby and the train to Palermo was also convenient to get to. We would welcome the opportunity to stay at this beautiful home again!

Great location wonderful hosts

Our stay with Gaetano and Mary was exceptional. They opened their arms to us for our five day stay with a warm welcome, treats and a good lay of the land. This Villa was well equipped, had a beautiful pool and spacious outside areas to dine, talk, swim, sun or shade. The Carini location has great access to Palermo center via the Autostrada as well as the airport. It is a perfect spot to tour the coast from Cefalu to Agrigento by car or railroad (which is excellent), or to tour some of the small towns in the abutting hills. The coastal towns have many beautiful and accessible beaches. Overall our stay was a home run. Graze Gaetano!!

Amazing week

We had the best week at Gaetano and Mary’s property. Everything was as advertised and more so. We were welcomed by Gaetano and Mary withrefreshing drinks and Italian pastries and most importantly a thorough walkthrough of the villa and all its amenities. Gaetano also took the time recommending different restaurants and activities in the area, which turned out to be great. The best thing about the villa is definitely the pool… also the garden with organic grown tomatoes, basil, shallots is amazing, not to forget the lemon trees. All available for you to harvest. All in all a great stay!

Sicily 2025

We would like to thank Gaetano and Mary for helping to make our first trip to Sicily so memorable. Gaetano was always on hand if needed . He even showed us around the local town on our first afternoon to show us the best restaurants and the beach. The welcome pack was more than welcome and they even told us where to buy the amazing Sicilian cakes. The villa it's self was perfect with a lovely pool. Even though it was near a mall town it was a very peaceful spot when lazing round the pool. I would fully recommend a stay at their villa. Thanks again Gaetano and Mary

Sono contento che vi siete trovati bene nella mia villa, il nostro principale obiettivo è che i nostri ospiti trascorrino una vacanza circondati dalla natura, all'insegna del relax e garantendo la loro privacy. La mia presenza è strettamente limitata alla pulizia della piscina e degli spazi adiacenti, naturalmente negli orari in cui gli ospiti no ne usufruiscono.

We had a great stay. This Villa is immaculate and the outside space is beautiful. Gaetano is a fabulous host and the restaurants he recommended were all great.

Absolutely beautiful villa and grounds. The hosts were so friendly, kind and helpful. Pastries upon arrival, iced tea and water, and breakfast items. Gaetano and his family were kind enough to transport us to the supermarket and to a nearby restaurant. This villa is a great location as home base to explore nearby sites. I can't thank Gaetano and his family enough for making our stay in Carini so memorable! We hope to return again!

First visit to Sicily

We would like to thank Gaetano and his family for welcoming us to the Carini Villa. They are such supportive, friendly helpful hosts. They go out of there way to make you welcome at their beautiful Villa. We could have been more pleased and would highly recommend it. The pool was great for the kids (and adults) and the facilities were great. They made our first visit to Sicily a rousing success that we plan on repeating, at the Villa. Thanks for providing a first class facility.

Carini stay

Gaetano provided plenty of correspondence before our stay and set up a wonderful chefs' dinner in residence. The pool was well kept up daily and my grand kids took advantage of it both day and night. I have stayed in thousands of hotels, resorts and villas and Gaetano is by far the most gracious host I have had the privilege of staying with and even though we were only there for three days, I already miss his friendship. Gaetano, thank you for sharing your home and family with mine. Howard

Like an Oasis!

We stayed here for a week and had a wonderful experience! Checkin was very thorough and our hosts gifted us with wine, pastries and other goodies. The property is like an oasis - palm, olive, hibiscus, lemons, fig, roses, cacti and rosemary grow all over the grounds and the pool is a welcome respite after a day of touring the countryside. The property was spotless and very private - there is a wall surrounding the property which makes it very secure and private. It is less than a 20 minute drive from the airport so it’s super easy to get to. Our hosts were available to answer any questions. I have no hesitation recommending this property.

What a delight!

The first thing to know is that our hosts Gaetano and Maria we terrific. A wonderful welcome and helpful at every turn of our stay. Totally available to us but protected and honoured our privacy. The house itself is both rustic and majestic. We don’t enjoy sterile hotel environments and G&M’s home was exactly not that. Clean and with most things in good working order. We just moved in and thoroughly enjoyed our week. Gaetano even kept the pool open for our stay at our request because we had a few dedicated swimmers. We all loved our stay and recommend this property wholeheartedly!

Best decision of our month long trip

Eight family members ranging from 15-79 stayed at Mary & Gaetano’s place for 8 nights. They couldn’t have been more lovely, welcoming and accommodating. The home was spacious with a charming kitchen, bedrooms with great a/c, and a large outdoor area for dining, swimming, playing games and lounging. The location is not centrally located in Sicily and but very walkable but we managed many day trips around the island and it is very close to the beach. Some in our groups opted for days around the pool which was perfect to make everyone happy. They made wonderful suggestions for where to grocery shop and eat and Gaetano even drove us to town to show us where to get an atm and catch the train! We highly recommend any groups (from 4-8) stay here for a wonderful authentic experience!

We were very well taken care of!

The property is very clean with lots of room indoors and out! Having a bathroom and shower in every floor is great for a large group. Air conditioning works great. The pool is immaculate as I believe Gaetano attends to it in the early morning. It was honestly hard to leave the house and visit the city. On top of the great vacation home, Gaetano and his family are such wonderful hosts. They helped us arrange a car rental for a great price, they helped us book a yacht tour from Trapani. And even gave us a ride to the airport and train at the end of our trip. Such kind people who want to ensure your stay is perfect. And very easy to communicate with via WhatsApp if questions arise. Thank you!

One of the best vacation

Wonderful spacious, modern, clean, well-equipped villa can comfortably accommodate up to 8 people. Conveniently located 10 min drive from airport and 20 min drive from Palermo. Car is a must if you planning to visit numerous sites in Cicily. One internal and one summer kitchen outside with barbecue gives you variety choices of cooking. Beautiful, private, clean pool with filtrated water allows you to relax after daily tour or sightseeing activities. Gaetano, his wife and son are wonderful, kind and very caring people. Made all possible efforts то convert our vacation to one of best experience ever. Welcomed and greeted with enormous plate of Sicilian sweet cakes, provided information, addresses and phones of restaurants, supermarkets and advised about places to visit. Highly Recommend this place! Great value for money!

Fantastic host in a wonderful property

Had a fantastic time at Villa Buffa with the gorgeous pool and the outdoor and indoor kitchen/BBQ setup, with Gaetano going out of his way to make sure we had the best possible stay. As a host Gaetano was always on hand to help us plan our trip, even offering to ferry us back and forth to the train station for a day trip to Palermo (a trip that is walkable but an offer much appreciated in 35C heat!). The villa requires a car to make the most of the trip - our advice is to use the horn round the corners near the villa as it's quite narrow, but it's completely navigable and you're on main roads within thirty seconds. Other trips out include Terrasini for the charming seaside town vibe, Trapani for boats out to the islands and Palermo for the fantastic street food and drinks. It was testament to how much we enjoyed time in the villa that we didn't make it to Cefalu or San Vito lo Capo but were we planning to go again we'd stay at Villa Buffa in a heartbeat.

Wonderful!

We are just back from a fortnight at Gaetano's Villa, and we cannot recommend it more highly. The house is impressive, with airy, high ceilinged rooms and super effective air-conditioning throughout..for our family, with two teenage children, having spacious rooms for each, and 4 bathrooms to choose from was a real luxury! All facilities and equipment needed is provided and of high quality, and again, our teenagers hugely appreciated the superfast WiFi available throughout ( and outside ) the property.. The garden truly is an oasis, and with the stunning pool as centrepiece, there is lots of room for sunbathing but also relaxing in the shade of the outdoor areas and, of course, the excellent outdoor kitchen area. Carini is a great location from which to explore the north west of Sicily, and we enjoyed trips to Monreale, Palermo, Capaci, Scopello and a wonderful boat trip to Favignana alongside our host family - highly recommended for stunning coastlines, crystal clear waters to swim/snorkel in and to visit Trapani. Closer to the villa there are several great swimming/beach spots as well as a variety of supermarkets, shops and very good restaurants, all within 5-10 mins drive. Finally, what really made the stay for us was the wonderful hospitality of Gaetano and his family. On hand for advice and tips, and even a drive by tour of local sites on our first day - you are left entirely to your selves in the villa, but always with Gaetano available nearby if any questions...this was highly appreciated! We can't wait to return again one day and continue to explore the wonderful island of Sicily and enjoy the Villa again!
