We loved our stay at Ciro’s Sicilian villa.The villa was spotless and beautifully maintained. Fast, reliable internet made it easy to stay connected. The private pool is a highlight and thoughtfully designed for child safety - one reason we chose it for our young ones.We were pleasantly surprised by how quiet the property is despite being near a road. Evenings on the terrace were peaceful. Balestrate beach is easily the best beach in the area and just 5 mins down the road.Ciro is a splendid host: helpful and accommodating. Arrival and departure were effortless, and he shared excellent local tips for nearby and day-trip adventures.Highly recommended for families and couples - a real hidden gem.

The property was really lovely. Exactly as the photos and exceptionally clean.Our lovely host lives next door and was on hand for anything needed, nothing was too much trouble.Communication leading up to our stay was great and I received replies to my emails on the same day.Our host speaks good English and I understand is also fluent in German. I think he speaks French as well!The property is within easy walking distance of a lovely beach and a nice town that had everything we needed. We did not have a car and we did not need one for our requirements.The drive from Palermo airport is about 45 minutes. We arranged for our host to drive us.It was very hot when we were there in September, but the air con was fine.The pool and gardens were immaculate, with the pool being cleaned daily.I was there as a single Mum with my 2 young adult daughters and we felt the area to be safe.All the doors and windows in the prooerty have bars and bug screens, we had no mosquitos.I would definitely recommend without hesitation and would happily stay again.

The house is very nice with everything you need for a comfortable staying. Outside porch is enjoyable, garden is nice with barbecue area and a very clean swimming pool. Ciro, the host, is welcoming and helpful, we checked in late at night and he was there waiting for us and showing us around. He lives nearby and when help is needed he is always promptly at hand.

We had a super holiday here. The garden is beautifully maintained and the pool is a fabulous addition. The house is spotless and as per the photos. It could probably do with a little updating but we had everything we needed. Ciro is a great host and very helpful. The house is in a great location, within walking distance to both the sandy beach and the town of Balestrate. I'd recommend staying here.
