We had a wonderful week staying at Marcelos beautiful villa. Perfect for families and groups. The villa has plenty of space inside and out. Lovely grounds and an extremely well equipped kitchen. Perfect for rest and relaxation.
Villa was wonderful in every way! Well stocked, separate apartment upstairs and easy living downstairs with everything youâd want. Pool area is great but most of all our host Marcello went out of his way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible! Bellisimo Marcello! The area had enough to keep us and six 20 somethings occupied for 2 weeks! Incredibly good value! If you want tourist sites though you will need a car as they are spread across he island. Thatâd be the same wherever you are on the island though - always something on the other side!
Set 5 minutes from the sea, this is a comfortable villa with large pool that isn't overlooked. The area around is the villa is agricultural with sheep next door, and Italian holiday homes that are mainly used in July and August. It's a great base to explore the history, culture and cuisine of the Ragusa region. We were greeted by the owners son, who was a fantastic host who was in WhatsApp to answer any questions.
To vennepar med en ung gutt leide. Fantastisk hus, eiendom og basseng. MÄ vÊre perfekt for en eller to familier. SvÊrt godt utstyrt. Verten gjÞr mer enn han mÄ for at gjestene skal trives. God kommunikasjon. Ingen klager- anbefales pÄ det varmeste.VÊr klar over at eiendommen ligger et lite stykke unna noe "sentrum" og at tilgang til bil anbefales. Til gjengjeld er dette omrÄdet av Þya perfekt for dags-utflukter pr. bil.
Family of four - stayed in July 2024.
We had a wonderful stay and would definitely go back.
Marcello was the perfect host - communication was quick and helpful. He met us at the property and showed us around - there was also a welcome pack including water, soft drinks, wine, beer and some food essentials.
The villa has three good-sized bedrooms downstairs, two of which are en-suite, as well as a separate family bathroom and a large kitchen/diner/living room. Upstairs there is a self-contained apartment with it's own kitchen and bathroom. Outside there is covered parking for up to three cars, a large pool, and a separate "pool house" with toilet, shower and sink as well as a covered outside seating area. Loads of sunbeds etc. too.
The villa was easy enough to find using the Google Maps link provded by Marcello. Would highly recommend a car - it is possible to walk to the nearest town, Punta Secca - but it takes around 25 minutes and the roads aren't very well lit so we found ourselves driving most of the time that we went out, but not a big problem.
Weather was very warm, but between the air con and swimming pool we were fine - even though downstairs bedrooms don't have their own units the unit in the hall outside was nough to keep us cool.
Overall, a lovely villa - would highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our time at Marcelloâs property! Heâs a great host, and the house was a great place for our two families. The pool was a highlight for all. We recommend a stay!
Rent och rumlig. Svalt trots ingen luftkonditioning. VÀrden var vÀldig hjÀlpful med att orientera oss i den lila samhÀllen. Kom med goda förslag till resturanger och sevÀrdheter.
So einen freundlichen, aufmerksamen und hilfsbereiten Gastgeber hatten wir noch nie! Abholservice vom Flughafen, tolle Kommunikation, leckere Croissants, regelmĂ€Ăige SĂ€uberung des PoolsâŠein groĂes Dankeschön an Marcello und seinen Sohn Andrea!!!!
Abbiamo passato 2 settimane fantastiche. 26/06-11/07/2020. 2 Famiglie in totale 8 persone.
La casa Ăš esattamente come viene proposta, anzi meglio. Ampia sia dentro che fuori. La terrazza di sotto Ăš fatta per starci tutto il giorno , sempre all'ombra (tranne la mattina presto) e per fortuna quest'anno sempre ventilata. Ha parcheggi privati interni. Piscina privata con spogliatoio/doccia/wc separati e doccia esterna molto comodo quando si torna dalla spiaggia insabbiati. La piscina viene pulita dal proprietario ogni 3 giorni. Se ci sono degli inconvenienti interviene immediatamente. Le camere sono ampie. La posizione Ăš un po' lontana dal piccolo centro (15min a piedi) ma molto vicina alle spiagge. Marcello il proprietario Ăš molto disponibile e gentilissimo.
Marcello was a wonderful host, attentive throughout our stay, regularly checking in to see if we were ok. He was there to greet us at the start and provided lots of little extras including delicious homemade arancini. The villa itself was ideal and the outside space with the pool was fabulous and well maintained. Staying in an Italian community in a seaside village was exactly what we wanted, just a shame we had to go home! Thanks Marcello
Really enjoyed our stay. Marcelo was fantastic and we were really happy with the experience we had.
We rented for three weeks and we wanted a relaxed experience embedded in a small Italian community. We certainly got that. We have two kids (3,4) and nine of us speak Italian but we managed to get buy fine and even made great friends with the neighbours using google translate.
The property is excellent, but also local places like Marina De Ragusa, Punta Secca and the local beaches are great.
We also explored a bit further, and this place gave us the platform to do that.
We had a few normal property issues early on but Marcelo sorted them swiftly. He is a fantastic host and is always there for us. Even taking us to a local mechanic to sort out a rental car tyre issue. He is passionate about his guests so certainly cares and goes the extra mile.
The local village is friendly, and is within walking distance, but with the heat (32-39 during our stay), we would typically drive.
A few tips:
There is a decent maxiSpar just beyond Marina De Ragusa for the big grocery shops.
We arrive Mid June and it was quite quiet around the communities, but then got much busier towards the end of June.
Ask Marcelo to explain the Sicilian rubbish system
All in all, a fantastic stay and would recommend to others looking to have the same experience we were hoping for.
Thanks again Marcelo.
Rich and Em.

Casa corrispondente alla descrizione dell'annuncio. Marcello Ăš molto disponibile e ha dotato la casa di ogni comfort.
La spiaggia di caucana Ăš bellissima!!
A lovely well kept property perfect for a family holiday!
We had an amazing couple of weeks here, the house and flat are clean, comfortable and well equipped, with a good area for outside dinning, in fact we ate outside every breakfast, lunchtime and evening that we were there! Beautiful swimming pool and a beach that is only a short walk away. The garden is large with a nice BBQ area and the whole property is very private. The location is great for exploring the towns, villages, beaches and markets nearby. Thank you Marcello đ
Wir waren 10 Tage in Marcello's wunderschönem Ferienhaus zu Gast.
Alles war zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit - wir wurden von Marcello vom ersten Tag an super betreut, bekamen Tipps fĂŒr Unternehmungen in der Umgebung, zum ersten FrĂŒhstĂŒck und zum nĂ€chsten Supermarkt wurden wir persönlich begleitet. Einfach Weltklasse !!!! Note 1 fĂŒr diese tolle Gastfreundschaft!
Jeden dritten Tag wurde der Pool und die AuĂenanlage gereinigt - man merkte gar nie dass jemand zum reinigen da war !!! Auch da Note 1.
Dieses Ferienhaus können wir nur empfehlen - wir (2 Familien / 4 Erwachsene und 4 Kids (15-17 Jahre) hatten einen schönen und erholsamen Strand-, Pool-und KultururlaubđđŒ
Und natĂŒrlich das Essen nicht zu vergessen - frischer Fisch ohne Ende !!!!
Danke Schön Marcello fĂŒr diesen Urlaub !!!!
Wir kommen wieder âïžđčđđŒ
