Why reviews help before booking
Photos show the villa. Reviews show how the stay feels. Guests often mention the pool, the bedrooms,
outdoor dining, privacy, beach access and the welcome on arrival.
These details help travellers understand whether a villa suits a family holiday, a group stay,
a quiet week by the pool or a seaside break.

We truly enjoyed our stay — it was calm, quiet, and perfect for relaxing. The property is conveniently located near the town, activities, and supermarkets; while not within walking distance, having a car allowed us to easily visit the stunning beaches, explore Noto, and try several excellent local restaurants.
Coming back to unwind by the pool after our morning outings was a real pleasure. Gabriella was an exceptional host: always quick to reply and very helpful with information about both the house and nearby places to visit.
Thank you again, Gabriella, for a wonderful experience.

This villa, Orlaya, is a hidden treasure located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. From the parking area and beautifully designed garden, the surprise is immediate. Even though we arrived late, the warm lighting created a magical first impression. The hosts gave us a personalized welcome and had already arranged groceries according to our request. During the tour of the property, every feature was carefully explained, and the services exceeded what was described in the listing. The villa is full of thoughtful details, from the architecture and spacious living room to the floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple terraces. It takes time to fully appreciate everything available. The bedrooms offer exceptional comfort with top-quality bedding that guarantees complete rest and relaxation. Very quickly, the villa feels like a peaceful home away from home. The large kitchen, elegant garden, and sea views create a truly unique atmosphere. With relaxing music in the background, it became difficult to imagine leaving. We would gladly come back.
Welcoming and set in a wonderfully peaceful spot. The view over the valley is truly striking and gives the place a special atmosphere, especially at sunrise and in the evening. The pool of Villa Amphora is a real highlight, with its own terrace that feels private and separate from the rest of the outdoor areas—perfect for relaxing without interruptions. Overall, it’s a comfortable, calm base for a restorative stay.

Nous avons passé une semaine formidable dans villa Donna Grazia. L’emplacement est top pour explorer la région, tout près de Taormina et de Savoca. La maison est confortable, bien équipée, et la piscine est un vrai plus pour se détendre. L’accueil a été chaleureux et très attentionné, avec de bons conseils sans être intrusif. Un lieu idéal si vous cherchez du calme, de la verdure et un vrai rythme de vacances.
The Villa was absolutely beautiful — exactly as pictured, if not better. It offered a variety of inviting spaces to unwind and take in the serene surroundings. The pool was a standout feature: large, warm, and immaculately clean — a true highlight of our stay. Tucked away behind a secure gated entrance, the property feels wonderfully private and peaceful. Inside, everything was spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished. The air conditioning worked perfectly in all bedrooms and the living areas, keeping us cool and comfortable throughout the week.
Communication was seamless. The owner, agent, and especially Carmen the housekeeper of Villa Selinunte Garden were incredibly responsive and helpful — any questions or issues were handled immediately and with care. We were a family of six and spent an amazing 7 days exploring the beauty of Sicily. Choosing this villa was the best decision we made. We wholeheartedly recommend it — you won’t be disappointed!

Siamo estremamente contenti del nostro soggiorno presso Cottage Aquamarine e auspichiamo di poter tornare al più presto. Le procedure di check-in e check-out si sono svolte in maniera semplice e molto comoda. La pulizia della villa e il cambio della biancheria sono stati impeccabili, riflettendo un alto standard di qualità. Inoltre, abbiamo trovato le forniture e le provviste all’interno della struttura ben al di sopra delle nostre aspettative, a testimonianza della grande attenzione riservata agli ospiti.
La vacanza a Villa Bianca è stata indimenticabile. Panorama splendido sul castello di Donnagrazia, accoglienza impeccabile da parte del proprietario e dell’agenzia. Speriamo davvero di tornare presto.
