Nice and calm place with a stunning view

Very nice house with all you need. Fantastic swimmingpool, stunning views, nice sorroundings and a very good service from Marco and his uncle Giuseppe. We loved it and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nice, clean and calm place to stay for the vacation.

Its an attractive and well maintained property in an excellent location.

We were made to feel at home and couldn't have been happier with the welcome we received from Marcos's uncle Giuseppe. They were always on hand with useful information on the area and would always be available if needed. The villa is situated in a lovely spot close to all the amenities you will require but far enough away giving you peace and quiet. If we were to holiday again in Sicily we would't have any hesitation in staying there again.

Wonderful villa with views you cannot take your eyes off

The villa itself has all the mod cons you might expect - and a large pool for refreshing dips during the heat of the Sicilian sunshine. But the star of the show is the location and view. The views are truly far reaching, stretching to distant hills and mountains - down to valleys - and across to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands beyond. My camera is now full of photos of the beautiful sunsets - with glorious colours as the sun sank over the sea. Nearby to the villa is the pretty hilltop village of Castroreale with a couple of bars and restaurants - and mini markets for the bare essentials. The nearest large supermarkets are around a 20-25 minute drive down the mountain roads. Initially the approach roads seemed a challenge - but we soon learned to enjoy the hairpin bends and numerous gear changes - great fun :-) Lastly we have to thank Marco, the owner and booking manager - who handled our questions and was a great source of information about the villa and local area...And a special mention for Guiseppe, Marco's uncle, who lives within a couple of hundred metres of the villa and is always on hand for anything you might need. A kind and generous man - speaks very little English - but has a PHD in the use of Google Translate !

Mooie villa met mooi uitzicht.

Mooie compleet uitgeruste villa met een prachtig ( verwarmd ) zwembad. Kinderen en kleinkinderen hebben er van genoten. We waren er in de laatste week van oktober 2022. De woning ligt hoger. Een mooi uitzicht over de omgeving , de zee en de Eolische eilanden . Het contact met Marco ( de verhuurder) via whatsapp was geweldig.

Wunderbar gelegenes Haus mit schöner Aussicht

Das Haus ist absolut sauber, geräumig und sehr gut ausgestattet. Es liegt auf einer Anhöhe mit Blick auf die Liparischen Inseln, in der Nähe des hübschen Örtchens Castroreale. Ein Highlight ist ohne Frage der beheizbare Pool, der uns und vor allem den Kindern Badespass auch Mitte Oktober ermöglicht hat. Sehr netter Kontakt zum Vermieter, der sehr engagiert ist!

Wunderbarer Panoramablick

Das Haus mit seinem sehr schönen, beheizbaren Pool liegt in einem sehr gepflegtem Garten mit vielen Obstbäumen. Das Beste ist der unverbaute Blick über das ganze Tal bis hin zum Meer. Das Hausinnere entspricht den Fotos, Garten und Pool übertragen sie. Die Gäste werden sehr gut vom Onkel des Gastgebers betreut.

Ihana huvila ainutlaatuisella sijainnilla!

Viehättävä huvila sijaitsee näyttävällä ja rauhallisella paikalla kukkuloilla, kauniiden vuoristoteiden varrella. Aurinkoiselta ja erittäin viihtyisältä uima-allasalueelta avautuu upea vuoristo- ja merinäköala. Iltaisin saimme ihailla uskomattoman kaunista auringonlaskua sekä nauttia puutarhan lempeästä lämpötilasta illallista syöden. Villa Malu on erittäin siisti, hyvin varusteltu ja hyvin hoidettu huvila, jossa on laadukkaat kylpyhuoneet ja kaikki tarvittavat kodinkoneet. Turistiruuhkat ovat kaukana ja tunnelma on ihanan aito. Perheellämme oli täydellinen loma Sisilian auringon alla ja viihdyimme huvilalla erinomaisesti. Omistaja Marco oli erittäin ystävällinen ja vastasi tehokkaasti kaikkiin ennakkokyselyihimme. Meitä huvilalla vastaanottaneet Giuseppe ja Santina olivat todella mukavia ja meillä oli ilo tutustua heihin. Vahva suositus tälle mainiolle majoitukselle ja sen ainutlaatuiselle luonnonläheiselle sijainnille lähellä Castrorealen historiallista kylää!

Un petit paradis entre montagne et mer- le rêve !!!! Que du bonheur !

Un petit message pour Marco qui a été vraiment adorable et a su nous guidés. je remercie aussi Giuseppe et Santina (l'oncle et la tante de Marco) qui nous donnaient beaucoup de conseils pour les petites sorties et nous avons apprécié notre petit rituel quotidien du moins que nous étions présents avec Giuseppe. Pour se libérer du stress un conseil, allez à cette endroit. Nous avons pu également apprécié les petits villages voisins avec leur bonne cuisine locale !!! Ne ratez surtout pas la pizziera Skiticchio avec leur très bonne pizza. Marco je te dis à la prochaine fois. La famille PETIT

Villa au calme,tout confort avec piscine et coucher de soleil merveilleux

Une villa à l'écart du village, au calme, avec confort, piscine et sunset extra!!! Durant notre séjour, plusieurs fêtes de village avec procession. Le papa de Marco nous a indiqué les bons endroits. essayez le vin local. À demander dans les épiceries ( c'est pas cher et soit on aime soit non, mais très typique). À essayer aussi les pasta fraîches un peu plus haut et le boucher incroyable du village. Les photos et description correspondent à la réalité. En plus légumes, fruits et plantes pour réaliser des sauces dans le jardin!!! Merci encore

Accueil chaleureux, villa de très bon standing, panorama exceptionnel

Des vacances réussies avec ce pied à terre dans le nord de la Sicile qui nous a permis de pouvoir visiter les villes de Palerme et Syracuse ainsi que plusieurs escapades à la plage et des randonnées dans les monts Nebrodi.ainsi que bien sur, l'Etna. Le village de Castroreale est préservé et possède des points de vue incroyables sur les îles éoliennes par temps clair. Il reste en dehors des circuits touristiques, ce qui lui permet de garder son authenticité. La ville de Barcelona, toute proche, permet de réaliser toutes les courses nécessaires et les stands de fruits et légumes à chaque coin de rues raviront les gourmands. La location est de très bon niveau, très propre et tout y est organisé sous l'œil bienveillant de Giuseppe, l'oncle de Marco. La piscine a été la bienvenue pour se rafraîchir. Les couchers de soleil sur les îles lointaines sont magnifiques. Mention spéciale pour Giuseppe avec qui nous nous sommes particulièrement bien entendus. Le père de Marco , qui était sur place, est un homme délicieux et très aidant. Au total nous recommandons cette location permettant la découverte d'une Sicile authentique mais n'oubliez pas votre répulsif anti zanzare. Il dottore

We are a family of 6, with 4 children aged 13,12,10 and 6 . The children really enjoyed using the pool every day and it was a spacious, well equipped villa.

Amazing Italy Holiday

The Location of the Villa is amazing! The pictures are accurate, the Villa is on a hill overlooking the Aeolian islands. We got to enjoy stunning sunsets every night. It is well equipped and very clean. It's a calm 30 mins walk to Tindari's church and the amazing Milazzo Venus Pool. Also in Milazzo there is a port with the boat connections to go to the Aeolian islands. A great day out! The owners were delightful and helpful with directions and information regarding things to do and place to go. We really enjoyed our Holiday and will definitely book again!

Villa Mali was an amazing place to spend my honeymoon. It is an oasis surrounded by culture, friendly people and great food! The decor of the villa is traditional with a modern twist. It has a homely feeling that made the stay even more relaxing. It is a very well kept and clean. The landscape surrounding the the villa is magical and made our evening strolls memorable. The owner were very delightful and friendly, they gave us amazing advice on where to go place to see. This gave us a taste of the culture which was spectacular. This is wonderful location for a memorable holiday, I almost miss the feeling of the villa and am sure that I will return! :)
