the Garden of Sicily is an oasis of tranquilly, beauty and greenery.
The perfect place to stay at if you are seeking a relaxing and quiet holiday. The villa is surrounded by a charming garden giving privacy and security. The back is full of olive trees, while the front has a lush and beautifully manicured garden with all types of trees & greenery, making the outdoors comfortable and breezy even on the hottest days.
The pool is an absolute joy (the kids had a blast); large, 3-meters deep at one end, clean and refreshing and had pool loungers, covered seating areas, pool dinning, etc. A sublime sandy beach is only 3 minute walk accessible via a path over a few sand dunes (a bit challenging for individuals with mobility issues - my old parents where not able to reach the beach).
The property hostess is a SUPER hostess, nice and friendly. She went out of her way to make our stay comfortable, arranged for cleaners (chef if we wanted), airport transport, restaurant advise & even brought us some goodies to sample.
Tips: The property is the countryside; so a car is needed to get essentials and get around. Areas on Island have a mosquito problem; the property has a system that sprays insect/ repellent, however, we needed to use our own insect repellent for extra protection. Also need to be extra mindful with electricity and water use during stay in villa as water is very expensive in this part of the world (our bill was high). As the owner puts it "Water is more expensive than Champagne".
