We absolutely loved our seven day stay at Villa Massimo. We only wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely be back. This is a traditional Sicilian country home set in rural Sicily amid spectacular scenery. Massimo was a perfect host to us telling us to make sure we made it our home. He left us with a bottle of wine (made by his son-in-law), coffee, pasta, bread, bottled water, tomatoes, fruit and much more. We enjoyed day trips to regional towns and evening meals cooking at the Villa. A few days we spent reading, swimming and resting by the beautiful pool. Please note you definitely need a car as the closest town for shopping is seven kilometres away. Also note there are three bedrooms - one with a very comfortable double bed, and the other two bedrooms have single bunks and single beds. Another piece of magic was hearing the melodies of the sheeps’ bells as they moved between pastures. Also, Vincenzo - who lives locally - visited a few times to ensure the pool was clean and the chairs and umbrellas were set up for us. We absolutely loved our week at Villa Massimo! Thank you Massimo!
