Ferienhaus / Villa - Carini

Living in Rome, a group of 6 of us wanted to escape the bustling life of the city and decided to book a long weekend away to Sicily. Our aim was not to visit Sicily it self but to relax and enjoy peace and quiet which this villa was perfect for as it was placed in a town outside of Palermo with not that much around. You would definitely need a car if you were planning to enjoy the beach, visit places or even do a food shop as the closest shop was 15-20 mins walk.

Gaetano, and his family, gave us a warm welcome which included local treats and drinks before showing us around the place. After looking around, I felt the pictures on the website were slightly deceiving as the villa it self was even lovelier. It couldn't be better equipped for a family or group of people. The villa had everything that we needed and more. It even had extra perks like changing lights in the pool, ping pong table, wood fired oven etc. We were allowed to use anything within the grounds, including the lemons grown in the garden. You were far away enough from other houses which meant that you did not disturb anyone or got disturbed.

Unfortunately there was an accident where a bed was broken but Gaetano was extremely understanding, given the circumstances. We paid for the damage but I'm sure I would have found it difficult to be that patient if that was my villa. Not only this, the family also offered us a ride to the airport and asked for a small amount compared to the taxi services

It was a truly excellent experience, and I would highly recommend this villa for anyone who is planning to visit Palermo or neighboring areas.

We stayed at this villa for just over a week in September 2016 as a group of friends with a toddler. The house is great and catered perfectly to our needs. The owner and his family were very attentive when we arrived to welcome us. We had the place to ourselves for the rest of the stay, which was great. Most days we headed out to explore nearby beaches and towns but would always head back for a jump in the pool and a BBQ or pizza. The house has its own wood fired pizza oven which is great.

Would thoroughly recommend staying here.

My family and I were a little nervous about renting a villa in another country. The owners of the house very kind, generous and helpful.

The house is absolutely perfect. We are a family of four and had plenty of room. We mainly utilized the pool, the outdoor kitchen, and the fruit from the garden.

We would definitely rent this house again on our next trip back to Italy.

"The villa and facilities are exactly as described and look even better once you arrive and close the gates behind this lovely private property. Everything was spotlessly clean. The owner visited twice during our week just to clean the pool. We thought the salt water pool was excellent - one of the best we have used in many villa holidays. After dark the pool lights up in an array of different colours that you can control. The outdoor barbeque / kitchen area is fantastic. The main house is great with good sized bedrooms and three bathrooms to choose from. The owner's communication by e-mail before our holiday was excellent - confirming payment, answering questions, sending directions etc. When we arrived the owner and his family were there to greet us with Sicilian pastries and drinks. They left us with a surprise hamper to get us started too. The property is located in a quiet residential suburb only 10 minutes drive from Palermo airport but we heard no aircraft or traffic noise at all. There is an impressive view of rugged hills to the south. The sea can be seen about a mile to the north over the suburban district. The grounds of the property have numerous lemon and olive trees, cacti and beautiful flowering bushes. A table tennis table and four bikes were also available for our use. There is a good supermarket with a small mall of other shops 2 minutes drive away. We had a lovely family holiday relaxing at this villa along with visiting cathedrals in Palermo and Monreale (30 mins away), a Grecian temple and theatre in Segesta (30 mins away) and a lovely beach at Terassini (15 mins away). We would recommend this villa highly."

Abbiamo trascorso dei giorni indimenticabili in questa bellissima villa. Siamo stati accolti dal proprietario, gentilissimo, che ha fornito tutte le informazioni e si è premurato per tutta la vacanza che non avessimo bisogno di nulla. La descrizione del sito corrisponde perfettamente alla realtà, la villa è curata e molto pulita. La cucina è ben attrezzata. Il living molto confortevole, la camera da letto è silenziosa e curata. La posizione della villa è molto favorevole per visitare sia la parte occidentale che quella orientale della Sicilia.

Consiglio vivamente questa villa.
