"My wife and I stayed here in November 2025 along with another couple. As is noted in other reviews, the pictures don't do the villa justice and it is exactly as advertised. The road in and out (last few miles) is a bit difficult to traverse and renting a 4 wheel drive as suggested by the host is a very good idea. Other than that, the place is absolutely fantastic, including the location generally for touring around Sicily (in particular Palermo, Cefalu and surrounding areas). The villa is exceptional and fully stocked with everything required. Beyond that, the hosts (Paul and David) go above and beyond in every way, including facilitating everything you need for arrival, ensuring your every need is met and providing great recommendations for tour spots, wineries and restaurants (even making reservations). They are both amazing people and joined us a number of evenings for some wine around the outdoor fireplace. They also have a local chef they recommend for in-house dining - chef Bruno and his partner Giovanni and they are absolutely wonderful and the price is extremely reasonable (less than comparable meal at a restaurant) Probably the best meals we had in Italy were with them and we had them cook more than 4 evenings (would have been more but we did tour around a fair amount). Bruno also hosted a cooking class for us and it was brilliant. If you stay here having chef Bruno cook is an absolute must. Overall we can't rate the villa or Paul and David high enough. "

"Everything about this hotel is amazing"

"Great hotel and the best restaurant. Such a great place for dinner. "

"Beautiful property! Amazing views and we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Paolo and Morena are perfect hosts and were easy to comminicate with. They do everything to make you feel at home. Be sure to visit their family owned jewelry store. We were treated like Kings and Queens there and bought some beautiful pieces. Do not hesitate to stay here!"

"Cannot say enough good things about this property and the property manager who worked with us, Marcello. The house is so lovely with such gorgeous views of the water and surrounding hills that you almost don’t want to leave to visit other sights! Marcello went beyond helpfulness … warm and welcoming and helped us with an issue we encountered that had nothing to do with the VRBO and our stay there. Linens on beds were beautiful, lovely and thoughtful decor inside, including cactus plants. Kitchen had everything, including espresso pods and an espresso machine. Complimentary pastries and wine and large bottles of water (still and frizzante). Indeed, we did spend some of our 11 days there just enjoying the tranquility and views from the house. Recommend very highly. Need a car to get around but can use train to Palermo and everything is easily reached by car (we went as far east as Siracusa). Would LOVE to stay here again."

"The staff was kind and patient and helpful with everything we needed. "

"The room was clean and the staff were friendly. The buildings are quite old, and the location is far from other facilities. It feels more like a small family resort, with not much to do if you’re a younger traveler looking for activities"

"We left this property a week early due to serious maintenance and safety issues. The pool was unusable for three days on arrival (low water, broken skimmer, repairs underway). The lower-level toilet was cracked, removed on Aug 22, and not replaced until Sept 4. Showers leaked, electrical outlets were exposed, ceiling lights flickered, and mold was present in the bathrooms and exterior.We also dealt with ants, mosquitoes from overgrown landscaping, rust dripping from AC units, and unusable cookware/appliances (some replaced during our stay). Furniture was dirty, and discarded appliances were left in the yard. Maintenance workers were constantly in and around the home, making it stressful and unsuitable for a vacation.I documented everything with 46 photos which some are attached (only allowable amount) The same issues were raised in a previous review, which proves these problems were not isolated. Guests should be aware this home was not properly prepared or maintained before our arrival.The host is very dishonest with her statements on the seriousness of the property. Instead of taking responsibility for the conditions she blames the guest for the maintenance problems that should have been addressed prior to renting."

"We loved our stay at this property and would most definitely recommend. This part of Sicily is beautiful and the villa is will situated, offering easy access by car to both local amenities and wider attractions. The nearby beach is within walking distance (quite a steep hill involved!) and features a nice little bar with sunbeds, and opportunities for snorkelling.The villas elevated position provides an amazing outlook and lovely sunsets. Day trips were straightforward, with the train providing easy access to Palermo, and Cefalù being another good option. We also hired a skippered boat from Porticello, which was a real highlight, with some amazing spots for swimming and snorkelling.The facilities at the villa were functional. The kitchen was not particularly well-equipped, making catering for 8 a challenge at times. The pool is on the smaller side, though the kids still has a blast.Finally, Patrizia was super helpful, and the welcome pasta dinner was absolutely delicious!"
