In Love with Scent Sea Terrace

We have already booked and stayed in many holiday homes and flats. We are "in love" with Sicily anyway and were looking forward to our days in Torre Archirafi. We decided on the house Scent Sea Terrace. Already from the photos and the description it was clear to us that we could expect something very special and beautiful. Our expectations were clearly exceeded. The terrace and garden directly on the sea with private sea access....The flat in the magnificent villa with the original antiques from family ownership, lovingly maintained and functionally furnished provide a stately living feeling.....The village can be reached in a few metres. Nevertheless, you are secluded and private on the grounds. The owner attaches great importance to the fact that guests enjoy absolute privacy, even in the garden. He provided us with tips and information that made us enjoy our holiday even more. The handling, directions, organisation, also in cooperation with the agency, was uncomplicated and professional. We were received by the owner and delighted with a welcome greeting. We will definitely spend our holidays in this flat more often.

A villa with sea views in the heart of the countryside

We thoroughly enjoyed our late October holiday at Villa Nature's Embrace at Cornino. The booking arrangements and instructions provided by Scent of Sicily were clear and everything went smoothly. The accommodation was ideal for a family holiday.

We organised ville del tufo with scent of Sicily in September 2022. Magnificent villa, wonderful service from arrival to departure, they were attentive to every detail and only a text away. They organised shopping as we were arriving late and food for the weary travellers. The villa was 10 minute drive from Marsala, minutes from supermarkets and 1hour 10 min drive to airport and Palermo. The villa was magnificent and the outside areas stunning. I would highly recommend scent of Sicily.

Amazing vacation at Villa Simo in Marsala

We spent amazing time at Villa Simo. The villa was exactly as it was described in the offer, additionally the villa is located in the fenced area, so we felt completely safe. Simona , the owner of the Villa, speaks perfect English and she and her family were extremly helpful and flexible during our boarding to the villa (we arrived in the middle of the night, which wasn't a problem for her) and whole our stay. The Villa is very suitable for 4 persons family, there is a big, clean swimming pool, lots of places to relax with or without sun. The Marsala is in short distance from the villa (10 minutes by car to the Old Town).
We hope we will come back to the Villa Simo!

Jasper House, Scent of Sicily

WOW! This is the loveliest villa!
We were lucky enough to be able to travel to Sicily in October, despite the covid-19 outbreak. Biaggio, the owner of Jasper house, met us when we arrived and showed us round this beautifully converted building, on his family's organic farm. He had provided masks and hand sanitiser as well as a lot of local treats - prosecco, red wine, pastries, bread, juice, water, basil and lemons. An added bonus were the fresh pomegranates growing nearby.
The outside area is beautifully landscaped and relaxing, with clever lighting. The interior is just as nice, with really original, quirky, touches, such as the painting of the garden, and the old workbench used as TV stand. I loved the feltwork and the fact that everything comes from the island and nearby. And I especially loved when Uncle Pino brought some aubergines and pears from the farm. :-) Oh, the villa also very well-equipped - I suppose I should mention that!
We got first-rate service from Biaggio and from Scent of Sicily. Biaggio messaged us places to eat, nice bakeries and places to go in Trapani and Marsala. The villa is handy for Trapani, the lovely town of Erice, Marsala, and the salt pans. Palermo is about an hour and a quarter away.
I've always wanted to go to Sicily, but it exceeded my expectations. People were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful, and I can't wait to go back!

Villa Lilybaum - Scent of Sicily

We found Scent of Sicily very responsive to any requests regarding villas and details of the villa we finally opted for.
Our arrival in Sicily was made easy with good contact with Scent of Siclily staff and directions to the villa.
The villa itself was delightful as were the owners who met us and showed us around. The villa had everything we needed and the owners were helpful when we needed recommendations on the local area.
Altogether a thoroughly positive and most enjoyable experience

Stay at Villa Lory

We stayed at Villa Lory in early August and it was great. The house could do with some home-improvements but the pool is magnificent and there's even a table tennis table for us to play with. Be aware that there are loud noises coming from a near-by hotel that do not help if you are looking for a quiet time.
Alessandra and Gianvito at Scent of Sicily did EVERYTHING to make us feel at home. They are attentive, professional, polite and overall nice in all the interactions we had with them. I can only say that the service provided by Scent of Italy is 5-stars.

All you need for relaxing holidays!

We had a very pleasant stay in villa Barbara. The house is fully equipped with all you need to have relaxing time at home. The nearest beach Signorino is very nice but we enjoyed a lot visiting other beaches along the coast from Marsala to Mazara del Vallo. Gianvito, the villa manager, was always available and gave us a lot of tips. We’ve met also the owners and they were both very friendly. We strongly recommend this villa and the agency too!

An unexpected and pleasant find in Sicily

As a first time visitor to Sicily, we were exploring all options of where to stay. We stumbled upon Scent of Sicily while surfing the internet. They provided amazing options. We selected the Sea Terrace in a small village north of Catania. The Scent of Sicily team were extraordinarily helpful in answering in all our questions and were so quick with every reply. As for the Sea Terrace, it alone made our visit to Sicily incredible. The villa was perfectly situated on the water and the owner was beyond gracious and kind. Great experience!!

A Delightful Stay

Four of us spent a week at Villa Bougainvillea, and had a wonderful time. Even though it was early October, we were able to enjoy the beautiful infinity pool, and the surrounding grounds and vistas were lovely to behold. The interior is quaint; it was comfortable, too, save for evening mosquitos that required the doors and windows be kept closed. Our host Massimo was an exceptionally affable, responsive and helpful. In all, definitely recommended.

Super holiday in Marsala

The agency was very serious with us. There was 100% achievement of our expectations on the villa and their assistance. We have got immediate assistance and remediation for an issue with idraulic forniture at the arrival. Alessandra and Gianvito were fantastic providing prompt support to all our requests.

If we will be back in Sicily we will rely to Scent of Sicily
