This villa was amazing! I cannot fault it in any way. Sebastiano was a fantastic host, extremely friendly, very helpful and does everything he can to make you feel welcome and help you with your stay, he even got us a welcome package which was delicious.The villa is very spacious and met all our needs, with a 13 year old and 2 year old, who loved the play area and pool, we didn't want to leave.Views are beautiful and the local town has some bars, restaurants, bakery, butchers and small supermarkets, perfect for anything you need.We would certainly come back and recommend this Villa to everyone. Sebastiano, thank you for everything.

Dear Amanda thank you so much for your wonderful words! It was truly a pleasure hosting you and your family. I’m very happy to know that you enjoyed the villa, the welcome package, and the local area. Hearing that both your children had fun in the play area and pool makes me smile – this is exactly what we wish for our guests. You are always welcome back here in Sicily, and I would be delighted to host you again whenever you wish to return. Warm regards, Sebastiano

A large property capable of accommodating our family of 9. We stayed for 14 nights and cooked many meals and had lovely family evenings around the outside table. Tortorici is a very authentic experience, which we loved. Plenty of small but excellent shops, cafes and a good restaurant within walking distance of the Villa. With very friendly & helpful staff. Sebastiano is a very attentive host always helping us when requested. We used Vi.vi.rentcar for airport transfers & car hire - they were also attentive & flexible always accommodating our needs. Overall we had a wonderful family holiday and would definately recommend this Villa & Tortorici.

Fantastic house in Sicily!

We, a family with freinds, had a fantastic stay in the amazing Villa Lara in Tortorici, Sicily. The house is spacious, beautiful and esthetic and located in a calm place with a feeling of being part of the real Sicily. The pool and the jacuzzi helped during the hottest days and they both worked without any problems. We as a family like to plan our vacation on a daily basis which worked out well here. We did daily tours to Palermo, Catania, Taormina, Cefalù, Capo d’Orlando and other locations. We also like to combine cooking ourselves and eating out in restaurants equally. With both a great kitchen and the outdoor grill, combined with local and close-by restaurants, it was just perfect for us. The owner and his family were very welcoming and generous and eager to help with any questions or issues we had. We really recommend this place!
