My extended family (11 of us) have just returned from this villa in Sicily so wanted to provide a review. The properties are amazing and with a really interesting history. They are presented in a professionally and personal way. They really felt like homes. Francesca, the owner / host was simply brilliant. From driving us to and from Trapani to get our hire car, to recommending great restaurants and places to go, organising taxis, there was not a thing she did not do to help make our stay great. I would like to thank her personally and hence the 5 star review

Una piacevole sorpresa, una location molto bella, nascosta in un angolo della Sicilia, ed un'esperienza autentica della Sicilia d'altri tempi, ma con tutte le comodità che ricercavo. Mi sono davvero rilassato e goduto il mio soggiorno.
