"Wir, älteres Ehepaar mit kleinem Hund, waren 2 Wochen in diesem Haus. Sehr nette Vermieter,sie sind total hilfsbereit. Schlafräume sind sehr einfach und im Frühjahr recht kühl.. Garten und Terrasse mit Meerblick ganz toll, zum Strand besser mit Auto."

"The breakfast was amazing! The room was super- spacious, comfortable bed. Unfortunately the room was hot, the a/c didn’t work so we opened the door and turned on the fan. We slept Great! So in the current weather with cool nights we were able to work with it. Don’t know how it would be in summer heat if a/c doesn’t work. "

" Very responsive when I locked myself out of the room "

"A sufficiently adequate kitchen. Although missed a dishwasher. Water pressure upstairs ruled the shower out. Pool and garden were amazing. Lots of sunshine made it even better. Eating alfresco was the best.Centre of town is close by. You definitely need a car. Taxi/Uber is expensive. Good location giving access to the north coast to do many trips."

"We arrived at the airport much later than we expected but as soon as we switched the phones on we had a message from Ciro letting us know that he was aware of the delay and sharing the meeting point location for us to meet him. And that was how it continued, great communication and we quickly appreciated his help, guidance and advice.On arriving at the villa, we were absolutely delighted with it. The pool was beautifully lit up for our arrival and you could see right away how well cared for the property was. The inside didnt disappoint either from the well equipped kitchen to the comfortable bedrooms and lounge area. Dining was possible in three areas that each had their own tables, inside the kitchen, outside the front door and of course, by the pool so plenty of choice for outside dining and we found that we moved with the sun!We cant fault the villa at all. We booked it because of its high review rating and it did not disappoint in any way.The location itself was great as we prefer a little bit away from tourist centres and Balestrate hit the spot. Hidden gems of restaurants, shops, butchers and cake shops. We had the best pizza we've ever had in the town and we've eaten a lot of pizzas! The people themselves had a gentleness and friendliness about them and always engaged with us and welcomed us wherever we went.We couldnt find anything to fault the property or location and thanks to Ciro, Maria and Giorgio for an amazing vacation."

"Angela was very friendly. Somehow we managed to communicate even though she spoke no English and we have very little Italian. Very secure and quiet and a short walk from the beach with a relaxing area beside the block. About half an hour by car from the airport and an hour from Palermo. Ciao Angela."

"Stayed here with my family. Overall, the experience was good. The host was friendly and shared lots of tips via WhatsApp, including dining and boat trips. The pool area was lovely, and the apartment was decent. It’s about a 15-minute walk to town (with one steep hill), but the town is charming with great food at reasonable prices. We appreciated having two parking spaces (one inside the gate and one outside).On the downside: the apartment needs refreshing as many things feel old and worn. Power sockets were very limited (only one in the kitchen and three in total across bedrooms). Air conditioning costs extra, which wasn’t clearly stated. The property is spread over two levels with a roof terrace, but note there are three apartments upstairs plus the owner’s family downstairs, so the pool is shared with more guests than expected. The pool closes strictly at 8 PM. One hot evening I went for a late swim and was told it wasn’t allowed; the next day, the host said she reported us to Vrbo and could evict us, which felt extreme.Other points: The host said we could keep rubbish in bins on the balcony during the stay, but on checkout morning, we were asked to take it all downstairs. The washing machine is shared and often used by the host between turnovers, so it was hard to access.If you’re okay with strict rules and an older apartment, it’s a decent stay. If you want more flexibility, it may not be for you."

"Beautiful property. Great pool and fantastic value. Balesrate bit of a suburb. Nice beach but not much to do there. With a car you can get to some wonderful places. Great communication via WhatsApp with proprietor,though be ready translate which is no problem these days. Would definitely return. Thank you Angela!"

"Rosalia was very welcoming and friendly. Pool was great. Apartment was great for a base but not ideal if you wanted to cook, luckily we were happy to eat out. "
