Finding the property was easy based on the address given. It is in a bit remote place to get there, but was no problem in the end. We arrived from UK at 01:00 AM and the owner had no problem with that, they were waiting for us late to arrive and take our accomo. An arrival we received 1 bottle of cold water in the fridge,so was a bit disappointed,couse in previous comments suggested that bottle of wine were waiting at arrival☺️The property was clean, but a bit dated, beds/matrasses could be better, toilet cistern had issues filling up, WiFi was available every now and then,but lots of times it didn't let us connect, very weak phone signal in the area. Towels were provided also beach towels and umbrella. Pool lights were not on in 2 of the evenings we stayed and we had to ask them to fix it up for us next night to enjoy it. Air conditioning is available at extra charge. If you don't speak Italian better learn or get your google translator ready as the caretaker, Mario spoke no English (by the way he tried his best and was very helpful whatever we asked him to do for us), so communication was a bit tricky. The beach is just 15 minutes by walk and like a 3 minutes drive. All and all very nice holiday home to stay. We had a good time and non stop hot Italian sun.

Lovely Holiday Home With Exceptional Pool And Garden Provided BY Welcoming Hosts
We had a lovely time in Balestrate. We arrived very late which was not a problem for the owners Domenico and Giuseppe who welcomed us with a bottle of wine and various items for breakfast as we had no time to shop for the following day.
The pool was amazing and exclusive to our party of 4 adults whilst we were there. The pool surroundings and gardens were maintained to a very high standard. There is a very large covered terrace with a large dining table and lounge furniture from which you can enjoy views over the valley.
The apartment was equipped with a washing machine and fridge freezer. Ample bed linen and towels were also provided.
We travelled to many of the villages and towns in the North West of Sicily including Palermo and enjoyed the local markets and restaurants and would hope to return one day to explore the rest of the area and beyond.
The greatest advantage was the feeling of freedom to do what we liked in a secure and well maintained environment with help close at hand if we needed anything.
The property reflects the photos published on the website and is close to the town. I would not hesitate to return to this property.

Overall very nice
Overall very nice
Lovely warm welcome. Giuseppa gave us two delicious bottles of Nero wine which were gratefully received. The location was not especially convenient because the town and the beach were just a title too far for us to walk and the access road was steep and tricky. It was difficult to find but once we arrived we felt very safe.That said, the property was well appointed with a pretty pool and good views. It certainly felt as though we were in the real Sicily complete with a crowing cockerel. The verandah was great and very comfortable. It could be improved a little if just one or two basics were included e.g. Salt and pepper, a sharp knife, a few more bowls etc. The toilet would not work for the whole time we were there and neither did the TV. It didn't matter to us that the TV didn't work but the toilet was a bit of a nuisance. Despite these glitches we would recommend this place without hesitation and please give Giuseppa a hug from us.
The property owners are welcoming and attentive. The villa offers a lovely pool, well-maintained gardens, and a large terrace. They provided a warm reception, making guests feel at home.

La casa è come mostrata nelle foto, è in una zona strategica, raggiungibile in auto in meno di un minuto spiaggia e centro paese. Giardino molto curato, la piscina è fantastica. Abbiamo usufruito moltissimo del portico, posizionato a nord pertanto sempre in ombra.
Ringraziamo i proprietari, persone gentilissime, molto premurose e ospitali.
Torneremo sicuramente a trovarvi. Grazie

La communication fut difficile car les propriétaires ne parlent pas un mot d'anglais ni de français... donc "Google Translate".
Le coin piscine est charmant et agréable, s'y baigner est un plaisir. La terrasse est vaste et accueillante... à condition de bien se protéger des moustiques.
Le logement est petit et nous convenait bien car nous n'étions que deux. L'équipement est minimaliste et vieillot, mais on s'en sort.
Ce qui nous a le plus déçu, c'est le fait que l'enceinte privative ne l'est pas vraiment, les propriétaires habitant à l'étage avec vue sur jardin et piscine et qu'ils y ont leur hangar à matériaux avec garage pour leur camion de chantier. On ne se sentait pas vraiment dans l'intimité du "chez-soi" que l'on attendait, d'autant plus que l'on entendait, au-dessus de nos têtes, leur TV, leurs conversations, les bruits de chaises...
Il y a aussi le pont routier qui passe juste à côté de la maison... ce n'est pas une autoroute, mais c'est gênant quand-même.
Enfin, la climatisation : selon le descriptif, elle est comprise dans la location et, sur place, on nous a réclamé, en cash, 5 €/jour pour recevoir la télécommande !!!
