Perfect Stay – More Than We Could Have Hoped For!
We absolutely loved this house—it was exactly as advertised! The property is set in an orange and lemon grove with a stunning view of the sea. The kitchen was well stocked, and the fantastic espresso machine (with pods provided) was a great touch. Sitting on the patio, enjoying the sea view in such a peaceful country setting, was incredibly romantic.Though the home feels wonderfully secluded, it’s still close to town, making it the perfect balance of relaxation and convenience. The homemade welcome cake was such a thoughtful surprise, and it’s easy to see why this property has a perfect score in reviews.A special thank you to Guisi and Marcello, who truly went above and beyond when we had a medical emergency. They not only took my husband to the doctor and picked up prescriptions but also arranged for their friend, a nurse, to visit the house three times throughout the week to check in. Their kindness and support meant the world to us, and we can never thank them enough.We loved our stay and would highly recommend this incredible place!

A delightful Autumn break
The house was lovely and the weather (in Oct) wonderful - temperatures of 25/30 deg C all week! The sliding windows made it easy to step out and enjoy the outside space. Our thanks to Marcello’s wife who baked a delicious cake for us, and for the excellent bottle of wine! We had a delightful stay and were very comfortable in this house.

Great accommodation and host
Our host could not have been more helpful and welcoming The villa is spacious, for 2, and well equipped. It has nice views over the coastline. It is situated on a very narrow road which was not easy to find, even with Google maps and instructions from the host On the whole the villa location is quiet and you soon get used to the howling of dogs in the distance at sunset and a train going by from time to time (the railway line is 500m away) Sadly during our second week building works were being carried out at the neighbouring property and there was loud drilling for part of the day The coastline close by was a little disappointing and 'down at heel' but we found nicer areas a little further afield in Mondelo, Cefalu and Castellamarre de Golfo A visit or two to Palermo is a must and the best way to get there is by train from Santa Flavia Station

Private glass cottage with lovely ocean views
A lovely modern cottage near Palermo on a quiet road looking out at the ocean above Santa Flavia. The living space was very comfortable and had an extremely well equipped kitchen. The outdoor space was lovely as well. Restaurants and cafes were just a short walk down the hill. We also found it easy to take the train into the city. A great place to relax and enjoy the north coast of Sicily.

Rustic Feel by the Sea
This glass enclosed-living space, 2 bedroom home provides great views of the sea while placing the visitor among the groves. We were met by Marcello and Giusi, who greeted us with a homemade cake (delicious!) and chilled bottle of wine (perfectly paired). The decor is rustic and presents a calming relaxed atmosphere. The kitchen provided more than ample tools and spices for preparing meals, which we took advantage of. The road to the home is narrow and two-way, like many in Sicily. The beach, restaurants, and grocery store are within walking distance. Overall, we enjoyed this laid-back time of our journey.

Beautiful view
The villa was comfortable and the sea views were outstanding. Getting to the property was difficult with the road in a poor state. Sadly there was a lot of noise in the neighbourhood with barking dogs and building work. We appreciated Marcella's cake and the wine was superb. Thanks for the welcome. Good base for north Sicilian coast.

Perfect base for exploring north west Sicily.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The villa is well situated for exploring this part of Sicily and only minutes away from Casteldaccia. A great deal of thought has been given by the owners into the decoration and furnishings making it an ideal holiday villa. Friendly and welcoming hosts, we really appreciated the cake, pastries and wine they left for us. Recommended.

Wonderful house with amazing views.
The house is modern with the most amazing views of the ocean. We were greeted by the owner and his wife with a welcoming cake, cannolli and bottle of wine. After the most challenging drive from the airport to get to the house all were very welcome!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Sicily visiting many towns, churches, towers and ruins. This was a good location from which to visit all and the most welcome retreat to return to everyday.

We spend 4 weeks in this lovely house near Palermo, just about 30 min to Palermo central with train also train station near, (5 min with car) but not too near, house is situated in slope about 80 meters above sea level with good sea view and nice breeze so it was cooler, owner very nice and helpful when needed but you have full privacy even there is other houses near.

High recommended for a calm retreat next to Palermo
We loved to have breakfast with this lovely sea view surrounded by lemon trees. The house is modern and cozy furnished and well equipped. There are a few restaurants within 10 min walk downhill at the see, but we highly recommend to have a rental with you for anything else. Our Hosts were very kind (thank you again for the cake and the wine !) and the communication was easy and helpful.

Sehr angenehm
Genaues Lesen der Beschreibung hilft, dann gibt es auch keine negativen Überraschungen. Das Haus war extrem sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. Spülmaschine wäre natürlich angenehmer, aber zumeist haben wir in La Rotonda gegessen, unproblematischer Spaziergang, tolles Essen, preislich angemessen, unbedingt vorreservieren. In Summe war alles perfekt, inklusive sehr schönem Meerblick. Gerne wieder.
