Owner Eugenio and wife Angela were the perfect hosts.. nothing was too much trouble.. arranged a friend to drive us shopping as we didnât want to hire a carâŠrecommended where to eat and drink..etc.
Villa was beautiful so was the garden and pool. Highly recommend if you want to relax.. we even enjoyed the steep walk back to the villa after a few Aperole spritzers!!!
We loved our stay at Eugenio Villa, the house, the garden, the pool. Angela & Eugenio were very friendly and serviceminded and attended to our every need.
We had a nice time staying here. The only and biggest downside was the fact that the pool was out of order. Which we did not know (since it was advertised with the pool). So that was a bit unfortunate, other than that the place is lovely.
It is a large property with the most beautiful garden and pool. It is surrounded by nature and has a beautiful view of the mountains and even a little of the sea. The kitchen has everything you need. The only thing that bothered us were the mosquitoes. Maybe mosquito nets in the window would be a good idea. Overall, a dream property.
The villa was lovely, great outdoor space and lovely garden but the jewel was the swimming pool! I was in it morning and night. A great relaxing time was had by all.
Excellent villa with a great pool. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday

The villa location is superb. We've stayed in many villas over the past few years and I have to stay that this house just about beats the lot. It's in a quiet location and the house is fitted out with everything you might need for a relaxing holiday.
We had a great time and thanks to Eugenio and his wife for making sure we had a . memorable holiday
I'd have no hesitation in recommending the house to anyone who wanted a quiet, relaxing holiday in Sicily.
We had a great stay at the villa, the pool and gardens are as good as the photos! The villa is clean and has everything that you need. We didn't spend much time inside as its so nice to be sat in the covered area when the garden is illuminated at night.
Angela & Eugenio were great hosts they welcomed us and kept us updated. Eugenio keeps on top of the pool and garden but is always very discreet so you never know he's there. We all had a a great time. Thank you.
A perfect stay in a big, clean villa with garden and amazing view
The property has a great view with the gardenâ mountains and sea. Everything is very clean. Communication is perfect.
Everything you need is in the house. Seats are great and numerous available.
Windscreens can be closed to hide from the wind if necessary.
Wifi works stable.
Balestrate is a good starting place to visit the northwest of Sicily as the A29 autoroute is nearby. Palermo and Monreale is well known, Erice is great, the via del sale to Marsala is worth a visit. The panoramic viewpoint of Castellamare del Golfo, Scopello and San Vito Lo Cabo can be a good trip. Alcamo Is special, can be done in combination with the ancient temple and theatre of Segesta. Termini Imerese and the castle of Caccamo are also worth a visit.
Firstly, I'll write about the property, it is modern, clean, well equipped and had everything we needed to make our stay perfect, everything was as it should be.
The location is fantastic, it's in the hill-side with fantastic views, in front you have the sea and behind you have the mountains. It is a very quiet and private location with only two neighboring houses but they aren't intrusive and no bother at all.
The town has lots of bars and restaurants, bakeries, cake shops, etc and a few little quaint shops the piazza is a nice place to take an espresso and the locals are friendly and helpful.
Palermo is an hour from Balestrate on the train and the train station is in the town centre, it's an easy trip and worth the day out. We also went to the Valley of Temples and the Turkish Steps, a must for any tourist.
The beach is a little further, approximately 2km away and again, lovely but a car or cycle journey rather than a walk.
Finally, Eugenio and his wife were very good renters, they met us, accompanied us to the house, showed us all the facilities and left their number should any problems arise or should we have needed any tourist or local information, nothing was too much for them. Make sure you eat locally because the food, hospitality, wine and local produce is to die for.
Thank you for a happy holiday!
Tolles Haus in einem sehr schönen und gepflegten Park mit Pool und toller Aussicht auf die umliegenden Berge und etwas Meer.Gehobene Ausstattung mit gut ausgestatterer KĂŒche und Espresso-Maschine. Zufahrt ĂŒber 2 Tore geschĂŒtzt - GrundstĂŒck VideoĂŒberwachung. Sehr ruhige Lage, aber trotzdem nur 3 Minuten mit dem Auto in den Ort oder 5-10 Minuten zu den nĂ€chsten StrĂ€nden.
Sehr schönes Haus in ruhiger Lage direkt in StrandnÀhe
Das Haus hat alles, was es fĂŒr ein Ferienhaus in Selbstversorgung braucht und mit dem wunderschönen Garten, Pool und der ĂŒberdachten Terrasse perfekt zum entspannen.
Man benötigt aber dringend ein Fahrzeug, um sich selbst zu versorgen und in der Umgebung Unternehmungen machen zu können.
Sizilien in dieser Ecke ist allgemein in die Jahre gekommen und man merkt ĂŒberall, dass viel MĂŒll ĂŒberall rumliegt. Dies muss man fĂŒr sich einfach akzeptieren & ausblenden, da die Leute vor Ort einfach unfassbar herzlich und zuvorkommend sind.
Angela und Eugenio haben sich prima gekĂŒmmert und waren fĂŒr Fragen immer via WhatsApp ansprechbar.
Vielen lieben Dank, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt!
Es waren wunderschöne Tage in einem tollen Haus mit Pool und groĂen Garten. Die Schlafzimmer waren klimatisiert und die Lage sehr ruhig. Wir kommen gerne wieder
Am vereinbarten Treffpunkt in Balestrate wurden wir von den Gastgebern Angela und Eugenio begrĂŒĂt und fuhren zu unserem Urlaubsdomizil.
Das Haus ist ca. 800 m auĂerhalb von Balestrate inmitten von Oliven- und Obstplantagen auf einer Anhöhe gelegen.
Haus und GrundstĂŒck bieten jeglichen Komfort. Die KĂŒchenausstattung ist umfangreich, es fehlt an nichts. Im Wohnzimmer befindet sich ein Fernseher mit Satellitenemfang (keine Privatsender wie Rtl, etc.). Im EG ist auch ein Bad. Im oberen Geschoss sind die SchlafrĂ€ume und ein zweites Bad.
Der Garten mit dem Pool ist wunderschön angelegt und bietet einen herrlichen Ausblick auf die Berge. Es gibt einen ĂŒberdachten Aussenbereich mit gemĂŒtlicher Sitzgruppe und einem separaten Essbereich. Der Pool wird regelmĂ€Ăig vom EigentĂŒmer Eugenio gereinigt. DarĂŒber hinaus gibt es einen Grillbereich.
Neben unserem Ferienhaus gibt es 2 bebaute NachbargrundstĂŒcke, von denen nur eines bewohnt ist (italienisches Ehepaar, sehr ruhig).
Bei Fragen oder kleineren Problemen war Angela per WhatsApp umgehend erreichbar oder Eugenio innerhalb von 10 Minuten vor Ort.
Insgesamt ein sehr schöner Urlaub mit reizenden Gastgebebern.
Da das Ferienhaus ausser- und oberhalb von Balestrate liegt, ist ein Auto unumgÀnglich, alleine auch um Sizilien zu erkunden.
Die Villa mit Garten und Pool ist sehr gepflegt und gut ausgestattet. Wer einen erholsamen Urlaub abseits vom Trubel haben möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Die Kommunikation mit der EigentĂŒmerin hat ĂŒber Telefon und WhatsApp wunderbar funktioniert und alle Fragen wurden beantwortet. Den Ort Balestrate erreicht man in wenigen Minuten und hier gibt es alle notwendigen Dinge des tĂ€glichen Bedarfs. Die Villa steht auf einer Anhöhe und ich empfehle ein Auto mit höherer Bodenfreiheit, da es StraĂenschĂ€den gibt. Ansonsten alles tipptopp und wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen.
Wir waren begeistert und fĂŒhlten uns sehr wohl in diesem Haus und der Anlage. Einfach Perfekt, absolute Ruhe.
Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Hrzlich Dank, es war sehr schön bei Euch.
Villa Eugenio is a lovely house, close to the autostrada for trips and in fantastically kept gardens. We particularly enjoyed the lovely pool, which was always warm as well as the BBQ. The house is in a nice position with a view of the sea. The road leading to it is steep and single tracked, with few passing places, so easier with a small car! Angela and Eugenio met us at the bottom of the road on arrival to show us the way. They were friendly and helpful hosts, responding quickly to messages on WhatsApp.
The aircon upstairs was helpful for sleeping. Great views from the big picture windows downstairs but they let in a lot of heat. None of the windows have mosquito screens so opening the windows to cool the house let mosquitoes in. My children and husband get bitten by mosquitoes a lot, so this wasnât an option, so we found the ground floor very hot (obviously not a problem if mosquitoes donât bother you). We would have spent more time outside in the evening, but there were too wasps for my kids (there was a wasp nest in the garden), probably due to the timing of our stay in August.
We experienced a few power cuts (not unusual for Sicily) mostly short, but one lasted 7 hours. Eugenio came over really quickly to unlock the electric gates so we could get out, which was great. Worth noting that the water supply in the house relies on a pump, so we were without water for the 7 hours- although inconvenient, we managed, but it may be more tricky with young children.
Das Haus mit Pool hat einen wunderbaren,gepflegten Garten.Leider konnten wir ihn nicht voll geniessen, da das Wetter regnerisch war!
Die Besitzer sind sehr angenehm.
