Villa between sea and mountain with private pool and sea view with private pool

Based on great reviews & photos listed, we booked this property during our stay in Italy and were set to check in earlier this week & were looking forward to a relaxing stay with the entire Villa to ourselves, as this was going to be one of the final stays of the trip. This was not our first time travelling in Italy, or staying in rentals & all of our accommodations were as exactly as advertised so we expected the same thing with this home. Upon arriving we had multiple concerns, but the biggest and the reason for this review is to warn others about the awful smell that struck us immediately after opening the front door. The smell of mold was so bad that within 5 mins of being there, developed a very bad headache and felt sick, not being able to stay indoors. We contacted the host & explained our concerns, that we would have to arrange other accommodations. Initially he was very responsive & understanding. Agreeing to look into what resolutions would be offered but asked us to give a few days, which we did. He has now decided to not provide any solutions/compensation for the money we are out of pocket & told us to look into alternative ways of requesting a refund & has stopped replying. Overall very disappointed in the host & this property!! Other items to note: -Beach not within walking distance - more remote than listed -Old garbage/debris -Unkept grounds - broken tree's & not maintained -Pool was dirty -Home did not seem to be cleaned very well

The house was beautiful and very well appointed. It was very close to the airport and central to all of our day-trip destinations (terrasini, Palermo, and Cefalu).

Great place to stay.

It was an oasis of calm. Great pool and lots of amenities. Great for two families with teens as we could walk into town or to the beach.

Fantastic villa, we had an wonderful stay and the pool was a life saver during the warm days. The communication with the host and check in process was really smooth and the experience overall was excellent.

We really appreciated spending a week in this beautiful house, the photos do not do it justice!. The kitchen and living are are spacious and well equiped. Splendid view of the sunset on the see.The kids really enjoyed the pool. It is well situated, 10 minutes to Palerme and 10 minutes to a local beach. Only one caviat: one of rooms upstairs does not have AC

We were truly amazed by this charming, very spacious villa in every way. After staying in Palermo for a few days we wanted to experience the towns to the northwest and the was the perfect spot for it. The location was ideal and a short drive whether it was the airport of visiting the different towns and villages dotted along the sea. The views of the mountains and the sea at all hours were breathtaking and it was a priority to just sit and relax here. The Sisa store was a 10 minute walk/3 minute drive to grab groceries. The kitchen was well-equipped and a fun experience to make meals in. The pool was not operating when we stayed but it clearly a lovely part ofhe property. We loved meeting our goat neighbors! Can't say enough as to what a wonderful slice of life in Sicilia this villa provided us.

great big house for two families to stay! We rented cars and went to Palermo, Marsala, Monreale and San Vito lo Capo! The local beach was lovely and the view was spectacular!

The property was more than we thought, I really recommend it! If I go back to Sicily in the next few years I will rent the same place!

Fantastic 4 days at the perfect villa. Owner was super responsive when we had an issue. Perfect for our large family. Would definitely recommend!!

Very nice house. Good communication with Vincenzo. Everything went perfectly! Would definitely recommend.
