About this house rental
A modern built, but traditional style house in a beautiful peaceful setting within it's own olive grove, producing our fabulous olive oil. The house is on two floors and has a total floor space of approx 80 sq metres. The top floor consists of a big open plan main bedroom with king sized bed and mosquito net if required! There is a long balcony off the main bedroom with a view across the vineyards to the sea, ideal to sit and chill. The rear bedroom has two single beds with walk in wardrobe space with a balcony which overlooks the pool, garden and olive grove. In between the two bedrooms is a small shower room with basin and toilet. The downstairs has a big living area incorporating a fully equipped modern kitchen including fridge freezer, gas hob, electric fan oven and dishwasher with a deLonghi coffee machine for those essential Italian espressos!! There is a separate utility room which houses a washer/drier and ironing board etc. A further bedroom is at the rear of the ground floor which has a very comfortable steel framed king sized fold out sofa bed if required. There are French doors leading out to the garden. Also on this floor is a large shower room with shower, basin, toilet and bidet. The garden has a large patio area with a pagoda covering it with the 35 sq metre swimming pool set within a lawned garden with many colourful plants and trees. This is a very relaxing spot to laze around the pool with a glass or two of the sensational local wines. A further covered area to the side of the house is perfect for those long lazy Sicilian lunches with the family. All living areas are fully air conditioned via individual remote control for your comfort. The house and garage are fully alarmed and there is WiFi available for your convenience. The bed linen is all luxurious Egyptian cotton and bathroom towels are included. A car is essential as the house is located approx 5km from the very typically Sicilian town of Menfi and a similar distance to the beautiful blue flagged beaches of Porto Palo and Lido Fiori. The location is a great base to explore this fabulous region of Sicily, with The Valley of the Temples at Agrigento about an hour away and Selinunte very close as well as the beautiful architecture of Marzara del Vallo and the vibrant fishing port of Sciacca. For golfers, the world class resort of Verdura is half an hour's drive. There are many fabulous restaurants in Menfi and the surrounding area including Tenuta Stoccatello, Il Vigneto and the very famous Da Vittorio all serving the very finest cuisine this part of Sicily has to offer. 1 hour from Palermo airport. 45 mins from Birgi airport. Car is essential.

2 weeks spent in a fabulous villa with great pool in a peaceful rural location- just what we needed. Shops, restaurants, beaches all near by to visit and explore. Nino looked after us and showed us around the Villa and introduced us to some traditional local cuisine. Would definitely recommend this villa and hope to return again in the future.Martin and Mary are Great hosts.

We were met by Nino who showed us where the Villa was he was extremely helpful, he went through everything we needed to know. Brought us tea twice when we were there made us feel at home. We had a big problem with our hired car, he was more than happen to help us. Made us feel safe and welcome.

Martin is a great host - responsive to messages and very helpful.
The house is tricky to find, so Martin's local contact Nino met us on the edge of town and we followed in the car. We arrived after dark so this was really essential as the house is a distance from any main roads and the last section in particular is extremely "rural"!
The house itself is exactly as it appears online. It's clean, bright and spacious. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils. The outside area is great - the pool is wonderful, and there is a nice seating area and plentiful lounge chairs. Each room has a separate modern A/C unit that works quietly and efficiently.
The main bedrooms are upstairs - the "master" bedroom is open plan (the stairs come up directly into the room) so we decided on arrival to put the two children (15 and 12) upstairs, one in the master bedroom and one in the smaller bedroom at the back. They had use of a shared bathroom between the two rooms. We (the adults) took the third bedroom on the ground floor at the back. This gave us privacy and our own bathroom WC - we closed off the kitchen door and that effectively gave us our own living space. It was also really nice to wake up and open the doors straight out onto the pool area! Just bear in mind that the bed is a sofa bed so not as comfy as the king bed in the master bedroom.
There are a couple of very nice beaches locally (15 minutes drive) and two local supermarkets. All in all a lovely house and we had a great time!

Our Villa in Sicily
The location was exactly what we were looking for! Private pool in a vineyard with very little traffic. Ten minutes from the beach and great restaurants. The recommendations were great and very helpful. We had a great time! The pictures are very accurate!

SPECTACULAR SETTING
We couldn’t have been happier, this lovely home, nestled between the vines of Nero d’ Avola of Mandrarossa , and olive trees, on a country road ! No traffic, no noise, it was serene and relaxing. The town of Menfi is just a short distance on a country road , picturesque , with rolling hills of vineyards. . Very close to La Foresteria Restaurant, home to Planeta wines.
We were greeted by Michele, the property manager, incredibly kind and accommodating, The check in process was streamlined and effortless. The pictures on the website do not do this house justice.
The house was impeccably clean, thoughtfully designed, and very comfortable. The beds , linens, pool towels, all perfect.
There is a vegetable garden in the far rear of the property and we had fresh basil, tomatoes and zucchini ! The plantings around the property were lovely and neat. The pool area was fantastic, we swam everyday. Lido di Fiori is a short ride away with lots of good restaurants and a blue flag beach , with crystal clear clean water! This location is perfect for a relaxing holiday, yet, close enough to town . We will be back ! Next time, for a longer stay….

Der perfekte Ort um sich zu erholen
Das Haus liegt inmitten von Feldern, fern ab vom ganzen Trubel. Als Großstädter fanden wir hier den perfekten Ort um uns zu erholen. Das Haus ist sehr modern, sehr sauber, verfügt über mindestens 6 Schlafplätze, einem großen, sauberen Pool, und viel Platz innen und außen.
Es gibt 2 Balkone auf denen man das Land überblicken kann. Es war einfach nur richtig toll und angenehm für uns alle.
Nino, der Gastgeber vor Ort, brachte uns Arancinis, eine sizilianische Köstlichkeit, von der wir heute noch schwärmen. Die Übergabe lief unkompliziert und stets freundlich. Unsere Privatsphäre wurde stets respektiert. Kommunikation über Google translate funktionierte sehr gut.
Wir wären gerne dort geblieben.
Vielen, vielen Dank Martin & Nino

Magnifiques villa et piscine au milieu d'un champ d'oliviers.
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cette villa. La maison est conforme à la description. L'environnement est très calme, sans vis-à-vis. Les propriétaires nous ont donné beaucoup d'informations utiles et étaient très disponibles. Le jardin autour de la piscine est très agréable. La cuisine est bien équipée. Merci encore pour tout !

Super Haus super Pool und Grundstück
Wir waren 2 Wochen hier und haben das Haus bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten sehr genossen. Alles lief sehr gut auch die Betreuung durch Nino und Michele die immer gleich zur Hilfe geantwortet haben. Der Pool und der Garten ist sehr schön angelegt. Für die Coronazeit perfekt da es kaum Nachbarn gibt. Leider muß Mann deshalb auch für jede Kleinigkeit 15 Minuten fahren war aber OK. Der nächste Strand ist auch ca.15 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt.
Alles im allen kann man das Haus empfehlen.

Great Place to relax and to discover Sicily.
We spend 2 weeks in the house, a really perfect place. The details in the description are absolute correct. All is in very good conditions. One thing to mention: app 500 meters away from the house runs a main national road with constant traffic, which you hear permanently (sometimes more, sometimes less). Locally Nino is very supportive (in Italian) and as well Martin the owner is always contactable and very reactive by e-mail (in English). We enjoyed the stay in the house very much.

Traumhafter Urlaub in einer traumhaften Umgebung
Wir hatten 3 fantastische Wochen Urlaub in einem sehr schönen Haus mit einem perfekten Garten und Umgebung! All unsere Erwartungen wurden mehr als erfüllt. Die Umgebung des Hauses ist schön zwischen Rebbergen und Olivenbäumen! Es ist sehr ruhig und wir konnten uns sehr gut erholen. Der schöne Strand Lido di Fiori ist in nur 15 Minuten erreichbar!
Der Hausbesitzer und der Verwalter Vorort sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit! Wir wären gerne noch länger geblieben!

Geweldige woning en een hartelijke ontvangst
De woning is heel ruim en licht. De airco is voor in de nacht heerlijk. De keuken is ruim voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt. Het zwembad en de terrassen zijn schoon en worden tijdens het verblijf onderhouden. Het is een heerlijk rustige plek, maar wel in de buurt van dorpen en steden. Het is een fijne uitvalsbasis voor wie van rust houdt maar ook de gezelligheid van dorpen en steden niet wil missen. De eigenaar is zeer betrokken en heeft ons veel tips gegeven over waar je lekker kunt eten en welke plaatsen je kunt bezoeken. Hij begrijpt wat een vakantieganger nodig heeft. De gastheer ter plaatse geeft je de beleving van de Siciliaanse gastvrijheid. Wat ons betreft een echte aanrader.
