I cannot say enough about our stay in Villa Raphael. My husband and I plus our daughter's family stayed for two weeks! The villa itself is beautiful inside and out! Private gates to park your cars inside! The pool is just beautiful! Since there is a main floor and upper level, you have two beautiful sitting areas, 2 laundry rooms, two kitchens. And More! Great storage for your luggage and everything you bring! It is is top condition! Everything works perfectly and is well maintained! The outdoor dining area is so fun to sit around day or night! Then there is a rooftop! On the rooftop level, there is a complete bathroom, kitchen/bar area, sitting area, and outdoor seating. Beautiful view of the ocean!
The owners were so gracious at all times, answered our questions immediately, and just gave the best service we have ever had! When you get there, there is plenty of water, snacks, and other great treats that we enjoyed. So many extras! Brand new towels and extras if needed. Sheets and beds are hotel quality! Thank you to Erica and Floriana for everything. You made our stay perfect. As far as location, it is great. Easy to drive around to places. A beach club at the end of the street and a great place for gelato or morning breakfast is just a block away! We went to other areas such as San Lorenzo and Marzamemi very easily. We visited a family-owned winery, and went out to dinner and had great seafood everywhere we went. I really hope to come back again! This is our 5th time in Sicily and I would say that this area is just natural beauty. Nice to get away from the touristy places! LOVED IT! The Pictures are great but it is better than the pictures!
