We had a fantastic holiday in this villa. The surroundings were beautiful, peaceful and full of wildlife. The villa itself was spotlessly clean and had beautiful views from the spacious bedrooms and verandas. The screens on all the doors and windows meant that the villa stayed cool without needing to use the air conditioning a lot - despite the hot Sicilian summer. Mosquitoes were not a particular issue anyway. The pool area was beautiful and also has lovely views of the surrounding hills. It was lovely to walk through the fruit and nut trees on the farm and try plums, tomatoes and honey. Manuela and her family were perfect hosts - always ready to offer information if asked and they were very supportive when we needed to contact the local health services.
A car is essential for staying at this villa. However there is a very reasonable restaurant within 10 minutes walk which we visited several times. There is a shopping centre a short drive away which was very useful for the supermarket. The amazing Valley of the Temples and Villa Romana del Casale were both within easy drives and also several beautiful beaches.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a holiday in peaceful surroundings with a genuine taste of Sicilian farm life.
