"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. "

"I had a good stay at the hotel. Very comfortable room, right on the water, and nice staff. Not a great location if you don’t have your own transportation. "

"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."
