Villa No 1 in Camemi is set in a quiet area, suitable for 8 people and does a great job of blending indoor / outdoor living, with shaded areas with outdoor sofas and the kitchen area with cooking gas, sink and large BBQ. We travelled as a group of six friends, but it would do equally as well as a family holiday location.
The villa itself is simple, yet functional. It was well stocked with the necessities, and also thoughtful items like extra charging cables and some games / activities for family members of all ages. Kitchen and living space sit at the front (near the sliding doors) with a corridor leading to 4 bedrooms, 2 doubles have an en-suite.
The location is good, we were under 10
Minutes from Marina de Regusa which has great sandy beaches and restaurants. The Eurospar is only 8 minutes and stocks everything you’d need for the holiday. Further afield, we made a trip to Marzamemi for a day out in a boat and to Saracusa, a city on the east of the island, with beautiful architecture and eateries. Would recommend both.
You will need to hire a car if you intend to stay here, but with private gated parking - leaving your vehicle is no hassle. Both Marzamemi and Saracusa were about 1-1.5hrs drive from the villa.
The pool is a good size / depth, and is plenty warm enough for the hot summer days. In June, the average temp was 33.
Not mentioned in other reviews, but impacting ours is as the number of insects in and around the property. As such, this is the cause of the 4 star rating (as opposed to making it 5). There were a fair few flies present outside the property, which were an irritant when sunbathing / reading a book. Whilst annoying, that’s nature so not too much of an issue / expect things to be done about it. However, somehow they were also getting inside the property (despite being strict on shut doors / windows). When we first arrived, there were about 20 flies in the house, most in the kitchen area, and we had a steady stream across the week. We also observed a crack in an internal wall where ants would crawl in and out of (and onto the kitchen counter). The hosts were great and supplied some fly tape / ant spray the same day. However, this only served to manage the problem, rather than fix it, with the ants returning later in the week and an average of 10 new flies a day inside the villa.
This aside, the villa was great (and would be worthy of 5 stars). We would recommend to others and would happily return.
