Ancient Mint center Sicily

Great place, especially the calm garden with tons of spots to Relax.

We had a wonderful family holiday at the property from 23 July to 3 August. The secluded location up a track was hard to find at first at night, but it's seclusion is a highlight of staying here.Our host Carmello warmly welcomed us with a house tour and left clear instructions for WiFi and local tips.The property was much larger than expected, with a spacious kitchen, huge dining table (unused as we ate outside), and a cozy living room with three sofas. Two bathrooms and three bedrooms, including a mezzanine-style third bedroom accessed by a steep ladder, suited our 15yo daughter perfectly. Our 18yo son took the double room, and we stayed in the largest. The house was filled with thoughtful decor—books, art, and vintage furniture—making it very cozy.Outside, multiple seating areas, a large BBQ, and a huge gazebo in the gardens with sofas offered great spots to relax. The expansive grounds had gardens, statues, and tables.The large pool with a decent deep end was very impressive, though more sunshades are needed as the single one wasn’t enough. We spent so much time here. Rural Sicily’s power limits caused occasional outages, resolved by conserving electricity.Sat Nav led us astray on dirt tracks; stick to the main road. A Conad supermarket 8 mins away was great, but ignore map errors pointing to a nonexistent one.We loved Barkollo ma non mollo in town for its amazing, cheap pizzas and views.Highly recommend this off-the-beaten-track gem in Sicily!Thanks.

This property is incredible. So many carefully thought out spaces to enjoy the outdoors, including the amazing pool area. And the sunsets! Beautiful. The living space inside was wonderful and lovely decor. Everytime you walked into a space there was something new to enjoy. Carmelo warmly welcomed us and has great suggestions for food and places to go tour. The only thing to consider is being outside of any town/city centre there are dogs in the area that at times can get a little loud.

Beautiful home and amenities ! Great location I explore Agrigento and piazza Armerina !

This charming house was beautiful and relaxing. It has a beautiful pool to relax in after seeing the sights of Sicilia. The perfect garden for morning coffee or evening wine. It’s listed as a 3 bedroom, but one of the bedrooms is only accessible by a ladder. I think 2 bedroom is more accurate. The managers were very accessible and accommodating. They even noticed that two of us were celebrating our birthdays and surprised us with gifts! The biggest suggestion for this unique and charming place is to have better signage at their gate and more explicit directions. Our navigation failed to direct us accurately. Once you know where it is, it’s easy to find. We thoroughly enjoyed our 11 day stay.

We were looking to stay in the Sicilian country to be away from the major tourist towns and this house fit the bill. Eclectic in its decor and furniture, this 300+ year old house is a treat. However, if you choose to walk around the area, we did encounter a few rabid dogs and ended up taking the long way around, having to brave the main road, which doesn't have a proper pavement. Only the main bedroom is air-conditioned and the third bedroom is up a narrow ladder. It was an adventure and we even organised a taxi to and from Pietraperzia. Carmelo is a wonderful and gracious host.

We had a great time in this villa. A bit of a drive from Palermo, but a 5 minute drive to a nearby town for groceries etc, otherwise we were content sitting by the pool all day as the house was set up well to allow for this.

We had an amazing time at this villa. There is a large garden with lots of cozy places to hang out, and the pool was very clean and pretty big. The landlord was super easy to contact and helped us with everything we needed. Really recommend this place! One negative thing is that it was really hot when we were there and only air condition in the master bedroom. But after a few days we got used to it.

We had a fantastic stay in the most beautiful surroundings. A house to be experienced and the same with the beautiful surroundings outdoors. The pictures are good, but it is far more beautiful in reality. During our 2 week stay we found many great shopping opportunities nearby which made it easy for us to shop in to enjoy dinners in the house. The house is older but had all what we needed. We loved being there and enjoying all the beautiful nooks and crannies around. And the pool is amazing to use during the hot days! Thanks to Olga and Carmelo, for being super hosts. They are very helpful when you have questions during your stay and we enjoyed our stay… also thank you for the delicious croissants! We will never forget this journey.

Peaceful, charming and restoring. The villa has everything you need to chill out in the middle of this fabulous Italian land. Yes, it’s hot as Hades but the pool will abide and the atmosphere tranquil. There are curiosities everywhere you look and then some. Loved it! Caveats: AC in one bedroom only and no shade by the pool (Mcguyvered with sheets, safety pins and pool tool poles). Pino the cat will welcome you as well. Ciao.
