Ideal base for exploring Montalbano country. Very quiet location but just 400 metres from a main road along a Strada Bianchi. Loads of space,wild flowers, nice pool, great views down to the sea. Well equipped kitchen, great covered area. Solar power with batteries so a green holiday . All round great.

This is the real Sicily, how we imagined my husband’s grandparents living. The villa is secluded and private; the view and grounds are worth the price of admission. The accommodations are as pictured, modern and rustic. We really were not expecting to have the entire pool to ourselves. The patio is huge and entirely covered so it can be enjoyed regardless of weather. We made good use of the outdoor charcoal grill. The local property manager and his family were incredibly warm and welcoming. We managed to communicate with Google translate. Scicli itself is a charming village with excellent restaurants, bakeries, food shops, etc. It gets touristy on weekends so you’ll want to take advantage of quieter week days to explore the village and its interesting history.

The villa was perfect for us - a family of 4 adults and 2 kids (age 3 and 5). We stayed with our little ones in the main house, with two comfortable double rooms, two shower rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, laundry facilities (essential for us), and a good-sized living room. Grandma and Grandad stayed in the little house by the pool, which was ideal for them. The outside space was the best bit - a big patio area with a large outdoor table, a charcoal grill, some shade, and a lovely pool with views over the coast and the sea. The garden has a swing and slide for the children, beautiful trees and flowers, and the kids enjoyed spotting lizards, wild cats and kittens. Angelo and Concetta looked after us very well when we couldn’t get the gate open, and when the hot water wasn’t working - they were quick to come and help, and kindly gave us some delicious biscotti too. There was plenty of parking space. The location is great, as long as you have a car - just 10 minutes from beautiful Scicli, with its variety of restaurants, cafes, bars, museums and galleries. The historical centre is stunning - deserving of its heritage status. We were also well-located to travel to Ragusa and Syracuse for day trips, and enjoyed a couple of brilliant local beaches (Sampieri being our favourite). Overall, this is a lovely villa, perfect for our family, in a great location, with friendly, helpful hosts. I’m sure we’ll visit again!

Great stay! The hosts were very welcoming and flexible, and made sure the stay was comfortable. The villa was amazing!
