Stylish Sicilian Villa with private pool near the Beach.

We had a wonderful stay at this very nice and clean villa with a wonderful pool. The hosts were extremely kind and service-minded and took good care of us. The villa is remotely situated. So if you're looking for relaxing times with friends or family around the pool the place is perfect. But don't expect shopping and restaurants just around the corner.

Beautiful outside space, including outside kitchen and dining area, pool with amazing summer house.. Very clean, family of owners very helpful when questions arose.. lots of local information on area and restaurants, shopping etc before and during visit. Welcome spread of goodies on arrival .. above and beyond!!

Thanks a lot to Pietro. Thanks a lot for the big surprise on our arrival !! I wish you all the best and keep the location in very good conditions further on. Greetings Dieter Christine Leona Felicia Tim

We all absolutely love this home! It was clean well equipped with everything you need. The grounds are beautiful and the pool was spectacular. This was an oasis a very private location. Keep in mind you must drive to the beach or take bikes.. we would definitely rent this home again

Beautiful clean house, good service, free access to bikes, pool toys, nice basket with food, drinks and snacks welcoming us. We had a wonderful time.

If you want peaceful then this is your place. The villa was lovely the outdoor space fantastic. The host could not have been welcoming or helpful giving us recommendations for eateries and activities including wine tasting. The location is more remote a beautiful beach and bar are a 10 minute cycle but the nearest town is a 10 minute drive. It is around 30 minutes drive from Noto which is beautiful.

Host Giuseppe was very attentive and quick to respond to messages. Villa was lovely, pool and pool/summer house newly built and really nice. Had an issue with hot water, Giuseppe came round and couldn't fix it, called a plumber and all sorted within a few short hours. Some beautiful villages within 20-30 minute drive, more beautiful places further away if you're prepared to drive that little bit further. Good supermarkets within 15 mins drive, little shops within a 3 mins drive which provide everything you need in an emergency or just for fresh bread in the morning.

A delightful house and surroundings, well equipped and with a wonderful pool and pizza oven. Our three grown up sons greatly enjoyed. A wonderful meal awaited us on our arrival. All the facilities and equipment were at our disposal. We toured over the south-east of the island, to the north side of Etna and westward to Agrigentum, all within a week.Giuseppe, the owner, responded rapidly to questions, and gave wonderful advice about eating well. A great relaxing break in an intriguing setting.

I feel this property is completely mis-sold. It is small and cramped and extremely basic. The pool is not heated above 18 degrees, which is cold. The heaters in the house don’t work. There is one rather scruffy shower room and three cramped bedrooms. No surprise there is no photo of the shower room. There is a shower room in the garden but looks out of use and a large speaker was being stored in it. On the first floor there is a single, a twin and a double. The beds are very hard. There is one small sofa for two in the lounge. It was advertised as having a kayak but there was no sign of this. There was no pump for one of the bikes so it couldn’t be used. It isn’t horrible, but it is described as a dream house. We found it to be a nightmare holiday because the house was so disappointing and have cancelled a future booking with HomeAway because of our loss of confidence in the reviews and house descriptions.

My family and I had the most wonderful week at villa Ruta. From arrival we were made to feel at home and like one of the locals. We spent many evenings dining outside and our son loved the pool. The villa is a short distance by car to many lovely beaches and towns. We enjoyed exploring each day but were always happy to come home to the pool and cool villa. Would highly recommend for a relaxed holiday with family/friends!
