The entire property was extremely well cared for with lovely furnishings, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds , a terrific view from patio. We spent wonderful afternoons in the great pool. Marcoâs mother was our very kind & thoughtful host. We thank her. The road up to the home is narrow, winding & very curvy about .5 mile
Beautiful and relaxing setting. The hosts were lovely and helpful. In addition to advice on local tourism and restaurants were treated with fresh produce from their orchard out back. We always looked forward to returning to the Villa after a day of exploring the local sites. Note that getting to the villa requires a car and a comfort level in driving Sicilian back roads. Make sure you arrive in the day time.
The property was exactly as advertised; Excellent! The proprietors are professional and the experience was out of this world. The house is beautiful and the surrounding area has a rural feel. I would recommend this for everyone.
We really enjoyed this property. Marco went above and beyond and provided us with excellent support and wonderful recommendations. Highly recommend staying here. It is a real gem
Property located adjacent to very old olive tree orchard. Scenic mountain back drop with ocean view. Spacious upstairs flat with full amenities. Beautiful pool and garden in the yard. Private driveway. Only 2 cons, must have rental car because located in a hard to access part of Trabia, roads are difficult to navigate. And property owners speak very little English, so just plan to use google translate. Highly recommend if you are looking for the real Sicilian experience!
We were two families (8 persons, kids in ages 3-8) that spent one week in Marcos house. The house is clean and spacious and comes with everything that is needed for the stay. The pool area is great for both adults and kids. Dinners and evenings are very nice to spend on the big terrace with an impressive view over the landscape and sea. When arriving Marco was welcoming and also helpful with different things throughout the week. His lovely parents live on the first floor of the house and was also very helpfull when needed. The house is surrounded by big cultivation areas and his parents was generous with giving us fresh tomatoes and home made lemon granita. From the house it is easy to reach both Trapani and Termini Imerese for excursions and shopping. We also visited CefalĂč for one day, which is only one hour drive. The autostrada passes by close to the house and makes some noise, but nothing that was disturbing to us. Only thing to put on the wish list is some more equipment in the kitchen since we cooked most of our own meals. The beds are very hard, but that tend to be a thing here and not just for this place (compared to Scandinavian beds). Between 2-4 in the afternoon every day it is siesta and we were asked to be a bit more quiet. We found it a little bit annoying the first day since the kids wanted to be outside and play, but for the other days it matched our lunch time and paus from the sun. All in all we had a great week and can warmly recommend a stay there
Marcoâs place was very clean and neat, and we slept very comfortably there (comfortable beds and A/C). The bathrooms are both recently updated, which we appreciated. The views are truly panoramic and we saw some amazing sunsets. The pool is very nice, and we enjoy eating dinner on the large patio every night. Marco was a good host too, always prompt to answer questions and make recommendations and very friendly. I gave 3 stars for the location. The towns Trabia/Termini Imerese where the house is located are not the most picturesque towns along the coast though we found the location reasonable enough for day trips to Cefalu, Scopello, Agrigento, Trapani with longish drives to and from. The house is also close to the autostrada which you can hear from the house. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!
We have spent 14 days at this lovely Place. The Villa Bragone was really beautiful, clean, and spacious. Due to Business unfortunately Marco was not there personally, but we get in touch with him via WLAN whenever we want. Our Hosts, Marcos parents, Silvia and Matteo , are the most friendly and warm -hearted people we ever met. They fullfil us every wish we had and gave us delicous sicilian meals, fruits from the garden, sweets, cakes, icecream, vegetables, wine and more and more...from the first til the last Minute we were in Trabia. We have to say a BIG BIG Thank You once again. It was such a wonderful Stay at this Villa and we hope we keep in touch with Silvia, Matteo and Marco and return to Trabia in the future. If you want relaxing holidays, you have to visit Villa Bragone! We recommend it. GO! But do not forget your car.
We were welcomed by Marcos parents with cake, fresh lemons from the garden, plums, homemade jams and much more - and so it went on throughout our holiday. The apartment is located high on a hill with sweeping views of the sea. Lovely apartment and great terrace. Clean, neat and with everything you need.
We were invited to watch the World Cup with Silvia and Matthew, who were the most hospitable and friendly people I have met. They did everything they could to make our holiday extra special - they even made nice Italian dinner for all of us.
We recommend very much Villa Bragone to other tourists, and - like previous guests -we recommend to rent a car. Without it, you are a little lost! :-)
Thanks to Marco, Silvia and Matthew from Nina, Astrid, Nils, Poul Erik and Inge

Leider unglaublich laute StraĂe direkt am Haus
Die Gastgeber und auch das Haus waren wirklich super. Wir wurden mit frisch gebackenen Kuchen und FrĂŒchte aus dem Garten begrĂŒĂt und haben sogar selbstgemachtes Zitronen Granita bekommen. Unser UrlaubsgefĂŒhl wurde aber leider total durch die mit LKWs im Sekundentakt befahrene eng am GrundstĂŒck vorbeifĂŒhrende StraĂe getrĂŒbt. Am Pool konnte man wegen der LautstĂ€rke ĂŒberhaupt nicht entspannen und auch auf der groĂen Terasse hat man die lauten Autos gehört. Die StraĂe war auch nachts stark befahren, was man in den Zimmern hören konnte. Wirklich sehr schade, da das Haus sonst sehr schön war. Wir hĂ€tten uns gewĂŒnscht, dass das in der Anzeige irgendwie angedeutet gewesen wĂ€re.
Wonderful week away at Villa Silvia with family.
The property was immaculately clean, air con in all areas inside, pool was cleaned regularly throughout the week and the gardens around the property were lovingly maintained.
We loved the location (Il Bragone Ristorante is a hidden GEM!) and the proximity to the beach was a massive bonus. We had some fantastic walks in the area throughout the week & it was so nice to be able to take the short trip up into the hills to Caccamo Castle.
The pool was truly wonderful, we loved playing in the water everyday as 5 adults ranging in age from 26-61!
The hosts were truly incredible, Marco, Silvia and Matteo were so kind to us & helped us with the any questions we had.
Silvia & Matteo gave us a warm welcome with a beautiful apple & honey cake, a bottle of red wine & some fresh tomatoes from their garden! Marco kept us supplied with fantastic recommendations that made us feel like we had our very own secret guide to Sicily!
We truly felt like we were welcomed into their family, nothing else to say than this was the perfect place for a wonderful family holiday & we truly experienced a slice of La Dolce Vita.
Was fĂŒr ein schönes Haus! In der Villa Silvia verbrachten wir als Paar Ende Mai / Anfang Juni zwei tolle Wochen. So hatten wir uns den Urlaub ertrĂ€umt. Die Villa ist gerĂ€umig, geschmackvoll und funktional eingerichtet, meist hielten wir uns draussen auf, die riesige Veranda mit Panoramablick aufs Meer, die KĂŒste und die Berge ist aussergewöhnlich schön. Man sieht, dass alles mit viel Liebe und Sorgfalt hergerichtet wurde, so dass wir uns rundum wohl fĂŒhlten. Es hat viele Möglichkeiten, sich entweder in der Sonne oder im Schatten aufzuhalten. Und dann der grosse Pool und der schöne Garten! Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, etwas Anschluss zu haben. Die PrivatsphĂ€re ist jederzeit gegeben. Silvia und Matteo waren mit Tipps und ErklĂ€rungen sehr hilfreich und ĂŒberraschten uns mit Köstlichkeiten aus dem Garten, eigenem Olivenöl oder selbstgebackenem Apfelkuchen. Wir haben sie als offene und sympathische Gastgeber erlebt, die wir jederzeit gerne wiedersehen wĂŒrden.
Vom Haus aus kann man schöne AusflĂŒge mit dem Auto unternehmen oder ab Termini Imerese den Zug nehmen, empfehlenswert bspw. fĂŒr einen Trip nach Palermo.
Wir sind froh, haben wir uns fĂŒr die Villa Silvia entschieden.
Mille grazie a Silvia e Matteo per la loro ospitalitĂ , ci Ăš davvero piaciuto stare con voi a Villa Silvia!
A really great villa with typical Italian character. Both inside and out. It was lovely to stay somewhere original. The host is extremely helpful with any queries. I would highly recommend it.
Very good accommodation. Marco, Sylvia & Mateo were the best hosts we could have wished for. Felt part of the family. Lovely relaxing Villa.
Will go back to visit again one day.
Nice house, lovely garden and pool area, quiet neighbourhood between two towns, sea and mountain views. We shared the outside space with the owners parents who live downstairs, which we didn't know before, but they were very sweet and friendly and generous with produce from their impressive large garden!
Narrow bumpy roads to get to the house.
Host really helpful with local information.
Beautiful area with lots of places to visit, need a car.
VÀlplanerad bostad, övervÄning i stort 2-planshus. RejÀl terrass med briljant utsikt mot hav pÄ ena sidan och berg pÄ andra sidan. A/C i alla sovrum samt vardagsrum, tvÄ badrum/toaletter....allt i mycket bra skick. Solstolar, hammock, matbord, stolar i mÀngder...inget problem att bo 6 pers hÀr, Àven 8 funkar nog fint.
Fin pool i trĂ€dgĂ„rd ca 25 meter frĂ„n bostad, poolen ungefĂ€r 8x4 meter. Om ni lĂ€ser tidigare recensioner sĂ„ stĂ€mmer allt...bilderna gör inte platsen rĂ€ttvisa...det Ă€r bĂ€ttre. VĂ€rdparet Matteo och Silvia Ă€r underbara. Givetvis behövs hyrbil nĂ€r man hyr hus lite utanför stad oavsett var i Italien. Detta lĂ€get Ă€r jĂ€ttebra om man vill upptĂ€cka Palermo, CefalĂș och andra stĂ€der efter kusten. VĂ€g SS113 Ă€r verkligen en "scenic route" pĂ„ mĂ„nga stĂ€llen.
VÀrdparets son Marco Àr guld vÀrd och otroligt serviceminded, han har massor av bra info pÄ strÀnder, restauranger osv - tveka inte att frÄga honom om vad som helst ! Massor av fina strÀnder efter kusten, kan under högsÀsong vara lite svÄrt med parkering och dÀrmed en bit att gÄ till badet...och vissa bad Àr lite svÄra att nÄ för barn och Àldre. Kolla innan eller frÄga Marco. Sammanfattningsvis utan tvekan 5 av 5 stjÀrnor pÄ boendet. Har hyrt ca 20 hus i olika delar av Italien sÄ jag har lite att jÀmföra med.
Wir haben 10 NĂ€chte in der Unterkunft verbracht. Im Vorfeld hatten wir Kontakt zu Marco. Marco war sehr freundlich und hat schnell geantwortet. Er hat uns Empfehlungen fĂŒr SupermĂ€rkte, Restaurants und StrĂ€nde gegeben. In der Unterkunft wurden wir von Matteo und Silvia begrĂŒĂt. Die beiden sind sehr nette Gastgeber! Wir wurden wĂ€hrend unseres Aufenthalts mit Apfelkuchen, sizilianischen Speisen, FrĂŒchten aus dem Garten und Limoncello versorgt. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt! Die beiden sprechen kein Englisch aber mit dem Ăbersetzer ist das kein Problem. Die Unterkunft hat eine schöne Terasse mit Meerblick und vielen Sitzgelegenheiten. Die Wohnung ist ausgestattet mit allem was man braucht und schön eingerichtet. Es gibt 3 Schlafzimmer und eine Schlafcouch im Wohnzimmer. Klimaanlagen sind auch vorhanden. Es gibt auch einen groĂen Pool, den man ganz alleine nutzt. Es war alles sehr sauber. Wir empfehlen einen Mietwagen. In der nahen Umgebung gibt es nicht so viel sehenswertes.
Wir können die Unterkunft uneingeschrĂ€nkt weiterempfehlen und danken Marco, Silvia und Matteo fĂŒr den schönen Aufenthalt! :)
Siamo stati ospiti una settimana in questa bellissima casa a Trabia.
Il proprietario Marco e i suoi genitori Matteo e Silvia sono stati stupendi. Ci hanno viziato dal primo all'ultimo giorno e hanno reso davvero speciale la nostra permanenza.
Le foto poi non rendono giustizia ad un alloggio veramente bellissimo in una zona strategica per visitare il nord della Sicilia.
Grazie davvero a Marco Matteo e Silvia
The owners Matteo and Silvia made it very special. The villa had all commodities, while Palermo had 100 degree temperature and unbearable we enjoyed the terrace and the scenery in a cool environment.
Amazing Sea View in a greeny are with Secular Olive Trees. Oganic vegetables and fresh fruits, surrounded by smell of flowers not far From Palermo and CefalĂč.
