Charmante Villa en pierre avec piscine privée entourée d'un jardin luxuriant

I have stayed in a wide range of HomeAway places in many locations - I have to say this is at or near the best in my experience and for the cost to value ration - likely very hard to top!!

Awesome garden in a most scenic location and just a beautiful home and surrounding structures. If Sicily did not hold so much interest - I could have spent our 5 days right there at the rental. And to top it off - Rosalba and Fabio and their two lovely daughters were the most hospitable and generous of hosts!! If I ever come back to Sicily - I would love to return here!!

We stayed one week in this fantastic place and we highly recommend it.

Our first impressions on arrival was that Fabio and his family were warm, friendly and very welcoming. In addition, we were not disappointed as the house was much nicer than the pictures on the website. This was even more obvious in the morning as we were enchanted with beautiful views, lovely gardens and a well-kept refreshing swimming pool.

It was also ideally located because it was a short drive to the supermarket, the historic town of Scopello with all its amenities (restaurants, cafe, gelateria etc) and several beaches.

Normally I would not think about visiting the same place twice but it was just what a family like us with small children needed :)... a home away from home.

It was a wonderfull time, perfect hosts and a perfect place to be. :-)

High-up on the hillside beside an ancient, peaceful village - we found Rosalba's beautiful, traditional cottage. Nestled amongst the most fantastic, serene garden full of native flora and fauna - much to our 7yr olds delight! With plenty of seating areas from which to contemplate and admire the view and not forgetting the lovely outdoor dining/BBQ area & heated outdoor shower, an exotic luxury. From the rooftop terrace and pool we were surrounded by amazing views across the valleys and coastline and a pleasant breeze cooled the air and accommodation and filled it with the scent of jasmine, thyme and eucalyptus.

Inside the cottage was a dream, immaculate, tastefully furnished with an attention to detail and complete with everything you could need to make your stay comfortable. There was ample room to relax in and make yourselves feel at home, lovely thick stone walls and amazing shutters provided a pleasant ambient temperature and guaranteed a good nights sleep!

Our hosts were amazing. Charming, helpful and most accommodating. They were there for you when you needed them and most discrete, when you didn't. A welcome hamper (including fuel for the BBQ!) was all greatly appreciated.

The location of this cottage is fantastic, plenty of places to explore including gorgeous unspoilt beaches, fresh local produce in abundance-(great couple of shops just down the hill) and nice places to eat. Scopello old town was charming.

If you're willing to drive, this cottage is perfect for a quiet, relaxing family holiday. We are counting the days until we can return already!

Mille gracie Rosalba xxx

This was our second HomeAway although we have used a similar company before for many years. Rosalba and her family we so kind and sincere. We have new friends now in Sicily and plan on coming back. We had ten days here and the location was perfect! It was close to the beach and the grocery store and not far from great places like Segesta and Erice. We have two children ages 7 and 8 and they enjoyed the pool, the gardens, the solarium, and the play area. We grilled every night and shared a dinner with our amazing new friends. I would highly recommend this authentic, organic, amazing home to anyone. Be sure to ask them where their favorite beach is and the history of the ancient caves just steps from their home!!
