We had a perfect week of late October sunshine. The Villa ticked all the boxes: - walking distance to the beach and restaurants - really good sized pool - good location overall for exploring the surrounding area - well equipped, clean and plenty of space for all. I would definitely recommend!

We have just returned from a wonderful 2 weeks at this property. We read the impressive reviews before booking and can only add to what others have said. The villa is in a quiet location with a very private garden and beautiful pool, but is only a few minutes’ walk from the beach and town with numerous bars and restaurants. Carmelo could not have been more helpful and responsive, particularly when our son needed to see an emergency dentist. Absolutely first class all round and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend … or return!

The house is beautiful and brilliantly located with easy walkable access to beach, restaurants and the lovely town of Marina di Ragusa. The pool was warm, the aircon invaluable in a hot week, and a smart TV to keep the teens happy. We have stayed in villas all over Europe over the years and this was the best. Wonderful. Thank you .

It had everything we needed and the pool was fantastic! We loved our stay. It was awesome to have the bikes and be so close to town and the beach. Very much recommend.

So the good first. The house is nice looking. The pool is large. The bathrooms are plentiful. There were so many issues however that it’s difficult to imagine how this home is listed on VRBO. 1. Undisclosed cameras observe both the pool and the outdoor SHOWER. That’s right. The host said later said he’d been watching and had photos of who was around the pool (see below). If that doesn’t creep you out to move on and find something better then continue reading. Because this train wreck didn’t stop there. 2. The air conditioner does not work in the kitchen / living room. It gets hot in there fast. After being notified the host got hostile and said that’s impossible because it was serviced in May. The host made no move to fix the units. The ones in the 3 bedrooms work great. 3. One of the hosts (apparently there are 3 brothers) showed up inside the property unannounced and without asking whether he could enter the property to “check on the pool”. I thought nothing of it at the time but after being told we were being monitored by video camera I think there may have been more motives. At any rate, hosts are obviously not supposed to enter the property without permission when a guest is staying there. 4. The bicycles provided, of which there are 4, not 6, are in varying states of disintegration. 2 had flat tires (inner tubes were finished) and 2 had bad brakes. Like on the verge of zero functional. The baby seat provided was left for us to mount, but no tools provided to mount it. When we asked about this we were told to find a bike store in town. Same response for the brakes and tires. The host said they were an amenity and whatever state the bikes were provided in is the way they are provided. We were told this twice. 5. The place has an ant infestation. We had to clean the outdoor areas regularly as a population of fire ants were regular visitors and were problematic with a toddler in the backyard. Maybe this one is me being picky? Not sure- but it’s a problem that needs to be taken care of. I’m taking the time to write a long review here, so there you go. Ants. 6. There are no shampoos or conditioners or body soaps provided. 7. The host is aggressive and hostile. When I messaged about the air conditioning and bikes one of the brothers showed up. Somehow it was my fault the bikes and the ac didn’t work. I’m not kidding. This guy had an excuse for everything. Eventually he left when we said we were calling the police.

My wife and I spent 3 weeks at this villa in June 2022. The villa is lovely. It has nice grounds with plenty of patio and grass area for sunbathing or shade. The pool is "L" shaped and has coloured lighting for sitting out of an evening or for when having a BBQ. The villa itself has just about everything you would want for self catering and there is Aircon in all 3 bedrooms and the lounge. There is even 2 bikes if you wanted to go out for a ride - there is a cycle lane running all the way along the beach front which could be used. This is currently being extended so there is a couple of miles to safe cycle if you wanted. The villa is very private with hedging around the garden and there are 3 gates (1 remote for the car) meaning when shut you are safe as they self lock. It also means kids cannot get out. When you go out of the villa you are in a short access road. At the bottom of this road simply turn right and right again and you can find your way down onto the beach front (2 minutes walk) or you can go into town further along the front (6 - 8 minutes walk). We liked the stroll into town as you can leave the car and enjoy your cocktails or wine without having to worry about driving back. The town square and roads leading off are all full of bars and restaurants so you can take your pick of many. Fantastic!!! There is MD Supermarket only 5 min walk away as you head into town and a Euro Spar (very good indeed) a 15 min walk away or a couple of minutes by car. If you want to see the capital Palermo I would recommend doing what we did, drive there one day, stay overnight in a lovely little hotel in the centre and then come back the next day. The drive is about 5 hours each way. We did the same when we visited Mt Etna and Stayed in Catarnia. Seek out the cable car (about 15 euros each) which takes you from the base upto about 2,500 ft. Great views of lava flows and of course Mt Edna smoking away as it does most of the time. Carmelo and Mariana were brilliant, just a phone call away if we wanted to ask them anything about the villa. We had a lovely break at this lovely villa - I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

The villa is exactly as described - very comfortable and well designed for a bigger group. The pool is huge and very private, the house as well, and close to all facilities. The owner is very helpful if you need anything. We stayed there with 4 adults, which is very luxury with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. I would recommend it to everybody. If you stay t here, pay a visit to Umore on the central square, for the best cocktails in town.
