We traveled three families together and we must say that this house was perfect for the purpose. There were lovely, large rooms, many bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, fantastic outdoor area with terrace, garden, pool. And everything was kept in a fantastic tasteful style. Very nice dialogue and service from our host Oriana throughout the whole course, where she assisted with advice and tips, helped with bookings and even brought us homemade dessert! The pool was cleaned everyday while we were sleeping. A house that really needs to be experienced!

Ten good friends from Modbury in Devon spent a very agreeable two weeks in Villa Anticha Aia near Scicli in The Ragusa area. Our charming hosts Oriana and Michele Falla could not have been more attentive, helpful and generous with their frequent gifts of local desserts for us to enjoy with our meals. The house and pool set in a lovely garden were highly restful, and the outside shady terrace was a delight for evening meals. We took full advantage go the barbecue area with its excellent wood-fired oven to bring out the boy scout in us. The bedrooms were comfortable, well air-conditioned and spacious The house is well positioned for visits to Syracuse,Ragusa,Monica and Noto as well as closer favourites Punta Secca,Sampieri and Scicli.

We had a great week in this villa with a group of friends, 12 of us in all. The bedrooms, all but one with en-suite bathrooms, were very comfortable and there are areas to sit and relax both inside and outside on the terrace. The garden and pool are lovely. The villa is ideal for a large group or two families and Oriana and Michele are very welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed visiting the local towns of Scicli and Noto and also the Inspector Montalbano trail around the area.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Antica Aia. The house is absolutely beautiful, with spacious rooms and each accommodated by a private bathroom. The living area was perfect for sharing meals with the whole family. The garden is huge, including a large terrasse with an outside BBQ area that we used, a swimming pool area (kids favorite!) and a large guarden where the kids could play. Not only is the house lovely and the facilities great but the host are extraordinary. They were so friendly and helpful with all our requests and did their best to accommodate all our wishes. They organised pizzas on our arrival as we had a late flight, a visit to a ricotta farmer close by and even invited us to share a delicious Sicilian traditional meal with them. They also were very helpful in pointing out interesting things to see in the vicinity of Scicli. We had such a lovely stay and we truly hope that we will be back again in beautiful Sicily. Thank you Oriana and family for making our days so wonderful.

We spent a wonderful week in this beautiful villa. We were three families with two kids each but the house is big enough and comfortable, the gardens are spacious and the pool is very nice. It was such a nice and interesting stay. We did a lot of sightseeing around. We visited Scicly which is a little town nearby; Sampieri with a sandy beach is only about 4kms away. We visited also all highlights of the surroundings such as Syracuse, Ragusa, Noto and Modica. Oriana and Michele are really wonderful. They are welcoming, attentive to needs and helpful. On the first day they even came to the airport to show us the way to the house. On our last day they prepared for us a typical Sicilian meal: very tasty and big quantities ;). We certainly recommend Villa Antica Aia.

We spent a delicious and comfortable holidays in Sicily thanks to the hospitality of Oriana and Michele. We stay 3 weeks in Scicli and travelled a lot to discover the great architecture and beautiful landscapes around Etna, Syracuse, Modica, Taormina. We deeply appreciated the garden and some of service of Oriana and Michele that really help us to enjoy our stay. We really hope to meet them again!! Highly recommended to family holidays

Where do I start.......... this was a special holiday for my family, a BIG birthday for one of my sons and we all met up - from Vancouver, Montreal and Brighton (UK) T Villa Antica Aia - six adults and three children under 9years of age. From the moment we all arrived the holiday was wonderful. The house was even larger than we had expected, the gardens are spacious and the pool.... well, the pool was the highlight of the trip. It was very hot and all just rushed home from sightseeing and jumped into the pool. It was such a lot of fun. Scicly which is a great little town, is a short 4km drive away and Sampieri with it's beach is only about 4kms away also. Easy access to a supermarket too. In fact driving to Ragusa, Noto or Modica is easy. Unless like us you get lost!! In which case you get to see the beautiful Sicilian countryside... Oriana and her husband are very, very attentive hosts and it is obvious how much pleasure that they get out of having guests stay in their house. On our last night she, her husband and their two children, brought, and shared with us, a typical Sicilian meal. It was such a lovely gesture. Also we wanted to have a special meal for THE birthday so Oriana arranged for a chef. She sent us a choice of menus and after the choice was made we just sat back and waited for the lovely food. That was very special. I would have no hesitation in making a recommendation to spend your holiday at this lovely Villa. Thank you Oriana for all your care and attention. My son thinks that you should get a 6 for the review!!!

the host family did everything so that we have felt really very good. the villa is in real bether as on the photos. very clean and a dream for familys. we will definitly come back! Thank you for an amazing holiday in villa Antica Aia.

Que dire de cette superbe villa, nous sommes à peine rentrés chez nous que la villa antica aïa nous manque... Tout était sublime, le lieu ( scicli est une ville superbe) , le jardin, la maison elle même oú tout était magnifique. Oriana et Michele sont tout simplement des hôtes fantastiques, ils ont une générosité et une gentillesse qui dépasse tout qualificatifs, ils nous ont fait découvrir des saveurs siciliennes délicieuses que nous garderons longtemps dans nos souvenirs. Nos enfants ( nous étions partis en famille avec 4 petits) auront pour longtemps de beaux souvenirs de Sicile. Merci pour tout, nous espérons tous pouvoir revenir très bientôt dans ce petit paradis.

We stayed a week i July in this villa and it was an amazing experience. We were 9 people, 4 children between the age of 6 and 14 and we all loved the house as well as the garden with the large pool with trampoline. The house is large and is perfect for 2 or 3 families to share. It was nice and clean and looked every bit the pictures we had seen before. The owners Oriana and Michele are extremely friendly and was very attentive and helpful, and we could contact them anytime. Their genuine concern and their efforts to make our stay the best possible made this trip extra special (they even treated us with fresh vegetables and corn from their own garden (thanks again! :). The location i quiet and you need a car to get to the nearest town which is Scicli (a beautiful old town that has been listed as one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites) or to the beach although it is not a long drive. It is not a lot of tourists in this area which makes it feel very genuine. We would absolutely recommend this vacation home and hope to return soon!
