A beautiful oasis! We spent 5 nights at Villa Maronne and absolutely loved our stay. Valerio was very friendly, efficient and helpful. The apartment was finished to a very high standard and the pool was extremely welcome and refreshing after a day exploring the local sites. The garden is beautiful and it was great to be able to wander around at will and say hello to the collection of cats, chickens, peacocks and the docile Jacob the dog. Even though there are 2 other apartments rented out at the villa there is so much space we always felt we had exclusive use of the whole place. We met Valerio’s parents who are charming and passionate about their property and it’s heritage. Valerio’s recommendations regarding places to eat and best Sicilian wines to try were spot on. There are plenty of supermarkets a few minutes drive away to buy everything you need if, like us, you want to cook something for yourself in the well equipped kitchen and eat it overlooking the pool at night. A special place and highly recommended.
