Grand old Lady (The House)

Complete service a very short response. Due to the stormy weather last year very helpful. Accommodation with distinctive character, you will have to love the sixties. Could be in better shape but nothing real to complain about. No neighbours were present, so we felt completely alone at the coastline and enjoyed the magnificent view and BIG terrace for us alone. Downstairs at the waterfront the feeling is Robinson-Crusoe-like, perfectly secluded and nobody else on Sicily. If you find the correct streets through Bagheria, Palermo is just a few minutes away, appr. 20 minutes (Italian style driving). The next fresh fish just five minutes in the next village, next to the shore from the fishermen, the next supermarket as well. We spent two restful weeks in October 2015.

Just Perfect

We rent through Scent of Sicily for the first time, and everything went perfect.
Choice and quality of the locations they propose are just at the top.
The communication with Patrizia e Alessandra have been very efficient and reactive.
I would hightly recommend this company !

Dear Alain,

thanks for the nice words you had for our staff, very committed and keen to transmit the love for our beloved Sicily.

A warm ciao from a Sunny and Scent (of) Sicily.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Excellent service, let down only by being the first visitors yo our villa in 2016 and the whole house was very cold.

Scent of Sicily were an excellent company to deal with. All communication was replied to promptly and arrangements for payment were very good.
The villa itself was disappointing when we first arrived, on the 9th April. We were the first users of 2016, and so the villa was cold and a little musty. This improved after a few days of being opened up and some heating being used. Scent of Sicily responded well to our concerns, in particular they removed the free electricity usage limit to cover our heating needs. (Note: at the end of the week our usage was still within the original fee allowance!)
Overall we enjoyed our stay and we were very happy with the service from Scent of Sicily.

Dear Kenneth, thank you for the comments, unfortunately the villa, placed on the hill, was badly affected from bad weather conditions and not being occupied by other guests before your arrival (you were the first after the winter period). Some days before your check in we tried to improve the comfort, by heating the villa and refreshing the air, but we didn't completely succeeded, as for your words. We will try to improve the performance thanks to your comments and we thank you for the nice words you had for our company's service.

Kind regards from a Sunny and Scent (of) Sicily

Very good contact with the crew and the host !

One of the most important thing is that all the pictures and information on the website were trustworthy. On top of that the crew was available to answer quesions and help us even after landing in Sicily. The host was really nice with us and made evreything to make us feel comfortable.

Cannot recommend enough. Wonderful villa, great location, delightful selection of animals nearby, and Ariana provided perfect assistance for any small issues during the week. We had a fantastic time.

Scent of Sicily

Alessandra and the team at Scent of Sicily were absolutely amazing and incredibly responsive. The villa was stayed at was not exactly as advertised but location was amazing and no real complaints. The owners were also very responsive when we had any concerns or needs. We would definitely recommend Scent of Sicily.
