600 meters away from the sea, private pool, lush garden

This is really a wonderful place to stay! The garden is really amazing and the house itself is very cozy, clean, and well equipped. Though two of the three bedrooms are in a basement, they are very comfortable and spacious and this is not a minus indeed! Furthermore one of them has the bathroom ensuite and a luminous door-window with a small terrace, connecting with the garden.Francesco was perfect and we will save a beautiful memory of our stay thanks also to the proximity to the center of the town, the sea and Palermo.see you soon!

This is the most beautiful Villa, Pool, Space we have ever had the honor of using. Clean, well maintained, and just plain gorgeous structure. The host was extremely helpful. The kitchen was well equipped. This location is Sicily. All those images you have in your mind, this is it.

We had a great time in this villa - which was spacious and clean and had a lovely pool set in beautiful, tropical gardens. The beds and pillows were really comfortable, which makes all the difference.Francesco - who looks after the property - was super helpful and was able give us plenty of restaurant tips as well as advice on navigating Palermo.The villa is set on the outskirts of Carini, and it's close to the main road to get along the coast to the main sights. I'd say it's about half an hour to get into Palermo by car and an hour and a quarter from Cefalu'. It's an easy drive to Segesta.The local seafront close to the properly is fine for a morning run but not for swimming. For that you need to go Capaci, the next town towards Palermo. There the beach is fantastic and you can swim with the mountains in the background.We highly recommend this villa.

We stayed here in the middle of September. The villa has three spacious double bedrooms, two ensuite and a kitchen/dining room which has everything we needed. The highlight though is the outisde, the pool is a very good size and the garden itself is lovely with a vareity of attractive trees providing plenty of shade. It has a barbecue area and another outside table at the front. Within fifteen minutes walk are a supermarket and the town of Villagrazia which has a fishmonger, butcher, greenghrocer, baker and hardware store, so everything you need. There is a restaurant just beyond the town, under 20 minutes walk, unfortunately we couldn't try it as it closed at the end of their season before we had a chance. There is a basic but decent pizzeria/takeway in the town. Unless you intend to sunbathe in the garden all week you will need a car. Many very interesting places are in relatively easy reach (less than 1.5 hours by car). The station of Carini is ten minutes drive away and we travceled in to Palermo by train (not being brave enought to drive in Palermo :-)), trains are then 40 or 50 minutes into Palermo. The catacombs on the edge of town are worth visiting as is the castle in Carini. There were five of us ranging in age from 20 to 65 and we all had a thoroughly good time.

We had a very nice holiday in this house. The pool area is gorgeous immersed in a tropical garden with a BBQ area close by. The house is 10 minutes away both from the sandy beach (gorgeous view of the Gulf) and the downtown of Villagrazia (restaurants, fishery, ATM, pharmacy, supermarket, butchery, bars...). The motorway is 5 kms away and the tube 3 kms away (the best solution to get to Palermo). Excellent daily assistance (Francesco and his mother Mariangela). Many furnitures are new (downstair shower, dishwasher, washing machine, refrigerator, kitchen tools). We found the house very clean and with a good smell. We'll come back. Ciao

Wonderful villa immersed in a lush garden and with a terrific infinity pool, I just loved it. The house is very comfortable, absolutely spotless, fully equipped with new cooking tools, washing machine, AC and exterior lounges, honestly nothing is missing. It's located in a prestigious area surrounded by other gorgeous villas and is a few steps away from the sandy beach of Carini. The center of the town is about 500 meters away, Villagrazia di Carini, where you can find basically everything you need. A point of strength of the place (apart the BBQ area by the pool!) is the proximity to the metro station, is about 2 kms away and the weather is so beautiful in Sicily that you can easily reach the tube by foot while you enjoy a typical sicilian ice cream. We went twice to Palermo by tube, we opted for the underground as we heard about the terrible traffic that you encounter in Palermo when you go by car. The underground service is handy and efficient so we had a smooth trip to Palermo, we enjoyed it. Lastly, I'd like to thank Mariangela and her son for the assistance that they gave to us, impeccable owners as whenever we reached out to them they were available and happy to assist us on any questions. Overall, we have to say that we had a great stay and we will surely be back. Five stars villa, highly recommended! ;)

We had great times in this lovely villa. Mariangela and Francesco, mamma and son, our housekeepers, were simply lovely providing us with everything we needed for. The second day the washing machine broken and in the afternoon Francesco brought us a new one! The villa is in a quiet area, surrounded by other prestigious houses. The villa was very very clean and with lot of flowers in the garden. The property is fully immersed in a Mediterranean lush park, the pool is very big and near by there is a nice BBQ area, with refrigerator and a comfortable table. The house has 3 bedrooms and the master is simply gorgeous. Outside the living/kitchen room there is a gazebo with a confortable loung and a Jacuzzi adjacent to it. We enjoyed our evening cocktails in this area of the villa. The beach is about 500 meters away and was not busy this period of the year, with a fantastic landscape of the gulf, even if we suggest to enjoy the Capaci beach, just about 8 kms away. The downtown of Villagrazia is about 700 meters away and you can find there supermarkets, ATM, petrol station, pizzeria, restuarants and very very buonissimo gelati! Definetvly: we have appreciated very much our stay and absoultely recommend you this villa. Ciao Mariangela and Francesco!

The kitchen and living area are very small. Basic utensils missing from kitchen. The pool area was messy and overgrown and had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. No welcome pack, no first aid and no information regarding local amenities, emergency contact numbers etc. The property is a way out of Carini and there are no restraunts within walking distance. The 'beach' was littered with rubbish and was unsafe. The house was clean but a few things needing attention. We stayed at the house in early September, I have been in regular contact with Giovanni sice that time, highlighting our concerns. He has stated that our concerns will be addressed and had stated that we would be refunded the €200 final cleaning fee- we have yet to see this money.

Good property for outdoor living. Plenty of sun & shade throughout the day from the design of the property including the trees in the garden. The trees did drop flowers daily onto pool and patio area hence the cleanliness rating. With any problems we had Francesco was very attentive. Useful advice on local ammenties from both Francesco and Maria. Thanks. Appreciated.
