Staying with Maria and Maurizio in this beautiful property was a fantastic experience. The villa is very spacious and airy and the views are breathtaking. The hosts are the most gentle and hospitable persons you could ever hope to meet which set the tone of our vacation right from the start. They even offered us free meals to see us through the first day. This made us decide to order other dinners from them because the food was really delicious - probably better than you would get at any local restaurant. We were a party of 14, with ages ranging from 9 months to 70 years and yet each of us found something to delight them during our 10 day stay - be it the wonderful pool, the spacious terrace with magnificent views, the lovely verdant grounds. Maria and Maurizio reside on the property but the part of the villa that is rented out has a separate entrance and total privacy. And yet Maria and Maurizio were always there for us, be it for a friendly chat, advice about places to visit or with invaluable help in organizing excursions. The place is exactly as described, if not actually better, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone - your enjoyment and total relaxation is guaranteed. Thank you Maria and Maurizio for our memorable vacation in Sicily.
