Villa Selene was wonderful.

The villa was elegant yet comfortable, with a lovely pool and garden. Alessandra and the team were kind and responsive throughout the booking and stay. Floriana gave us a warm welcome with generous treats, and we received great tips for places to visit nearby. The surrounding towns and beaches were stunning. We truly enjoyed our holiday and would gladly recommend Scent of Sicily.

Villa Amphora is welcoming and peacefully located. The valley view is striking, and the pool on its own terrace stands out.

We spent 11 days at Villa Magnolia near Modica and had an amazing time. The house is beautiful, spotless, and the pool was a highlight—perfect for relaxing. Communication with both the agency and the local caretaker was smooth and helpful throughout our stay. We truly felt well taken care of. Highly recommended!

Ein sehr schönes und großes Grundstück, auf dem man ungestört entspannen kann. Ein riesiger Pool, viele Sitzmöglichkeiten, Platz zum Grillen etc. Es hat wirklich sehr viel Spaß dort gemacht. Ebenfalls kann man bei kleinen Problemen einfach das Team der Unterkunft informieren und noch am selben Tag wird sich darum gekümmert. 5/5 Sterne garantiert.

We had a fantastic three-week stay at Cottage Aquamarine. The villa was cozy and set in a beautiful, vibrant setting. The beach was easy to reach, and the food was excellent. It was exactly the kind of family holiday we were hoping for, with a warm welcome from the host.

The villa was peaceful and beautifully designed, with landscaped gardens, a heated pool, and jasmine-scented dining spots. Anthony and the housekeeper gave us a warm welcome with fresh treats, and he was always helpful. The house was full of character and very well-equipped. Close to Ortigia, it was the perfect base to explore the area—and we truly didn’t want to leave.

Our stay in villa was superlative, a really corner of paradise.

We were 10 in total, but had a great time and privacy as well and could stay together when we wanted.

We highly recommend this villa and also the person in charge with check in and check out and the owner

De verhuurder was erg vriendelijk en reageerde altijd snel, waarbij eventuele problemen direct werden opgelost. De ligging is prettig met alles in de buurt. De foto’s zijn wat verouderd, want er zijn inmiddels enkele meubels in de villa veranderd. Verder was alles schoon en netjes, en hebben we een heel prettig verblijf gehad.

Villa Sciara was amazing—comfortable, with a stunning view, beautiful pool, and lovely grounds. The hosts were kind and always ready to help.

This beautifully renovated villa, set in a tranquil countryside setting, offered us the perfect escape. We spent a wonderfully relaxing week with our three children, enjoying the calm, privacy, and stunning views.

The house was immaculate and equipped with everything we needed to feel at home. Paolo was incredibly helpful — always available with great local tips for restaurants and wineries, and even lent us games to keep the kids entertained.

We really enjoyed our stay. The setting is peaceful and scenic, with the yard and pool offering a gorgeous view of the valley and the distant sea. It’s just a short 5‑minute drive to Noto, and with a car we easily explored Syracuse, Modica, and Ragusa. The location is very convenient, with most sights reachable within 30 to 60 minutes.

This villa is just 5 minutes by car from beautiful Noto and 10 minutes from the beach, making it perfect for families who want to combine beach days with sightseeing and enjoying local restaurants. We stayed as a family of five with two young children, and the house suited us perfectly with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Surrounded by a citrus plantation, it feels private and peaceful.

Ivan, the host, and Giuseppe, who handled check-in, were friendly, responsive, and spoke good English, making communication easy. They quickly solved any issues, including a minor pool problem that was handled during our stay. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable experience!

Logement idéalement placé avec une vue splendide. Exactement conforme aux photos. L’accueil a été chaleureux et la communication avec Ivan excellente.

Vår vistelse här var fantastisk och överträffade verkligen våra förväntningar. Servicen var utmärkt och både värdarna var alltid hjälpsamma och lättillgängliga. Trädgården är vacker och välskött, och poolområdet är härligt med utsikt över både soluppgång och solnedgång. Det finns gott om utomhusytor med både sol och skugga. Huset är smakfullt inrett, fräscht och bekvämt. Vi reste som en grupp med vuxna och barn, och alla trivdes otroligt bra. Värdarna gav oss fina tips om restauranger, stränder och sevärdheter i närheten. Vi kommer gärna tillbaka!

Una villa con un fascino incredibile, una vista mozzafiato e degli interni ben arredati. I vicini sono stati pure ospitali tanto da darci ottimi consigli su dove andare o cosa visitare. Non posso che raccomandare questa villa per tutte le sue preziose caratteristiche.

We are a family of four and had a fantastic week at this stunning villa. It’s a truly special place, lovingly created by Francesca and Bruno — a peaceful haven surrounded by beauty.

One of the highlights for us was the biopool. Completely natural and chemical-free, it offered a refreshing and unique swimming experience that you simply can’t compare to a regular pool.

We’re so grateful to Francesca and Bruno for their warm hospitality and hope to return very soon!

Abbiamo scoperto una Sicilia genuina e piena di meraviglie, resa ancora più speciale da questa casa incantevole che Francesca e Bruno offrono con grande passione e gentilezza. Ogni dettaglio riflette cura e amore per il territorio, creando un ambiente accogliente e rilassante.

Grazie di cuore per aver reso la nostra vacanza così unica. Torneremo sicuramente!

This villa far exceeds all expectations. There were 14 of us and we enjoyed spending time together, especially at the outdoor table and in the beautiful swimming pool, but we also had moments of privacy thanks to the large spaces. We picked tomatoes and basil from the garden, which really impressed us. And then Modica is a 10-minute drive away and the sea is more or less the same distance... everything super.

Villa Panorama is a charming, authentically Sicilian home with stunning views. The spacious bedrooms and inviting outdoor area made it perfect for dining al fresco and unwinding in total comfort.
