Just like a dream

Thank you Select Sicily, you have made our winter holidays special from the beginning to the end! Casa Alba is simply stunning and you truly feel like a celebrity! Sciacca is such a perfect place to be if you are looking for an authentic Sicilian experience, we met really nice locals.
We particularly enjoyed the quiet and peaceful location, we much needed a break and we came back home totally satisfied!
Nothing has been too much trouble and we are very grateful to the customer service of Select Sicily for taking care of everything.

Perfection!

We booked our Christmas holidays through Select Sicily and we spent a truly magical week at La Martorana Terrace in the heart of Palermo. Booking was easy and the customer service was excellent throughout our stay. The apartment is superb, exquisitely decorated and in a perfect location to visit the city. There is plenty to see around and no car is needed. We couldn't have been more happy with our choice.
On the Christmas evening, we watched the sun going down from the terrace while sipping a delicious red wine that we bought in a local shop, the view was spectacular! We cannot recommend this service and this place enough and we are looking forward to visiting the rest of this beautiful island.

Wonderful view

We stayed in Essence Villa for a family holiday in August.
This place is amazing! The sea view from the pool or either through the large French doors while relaxing on the sofas is something incredible we'll never forget.
Select Sicily agency and the host were very welcoming and promptly satisfied all of our requests.
Great!

We hired a taxi from Messina to Taormina. What a wonderful gentleman is Giuseppe Rizzi and how knowledgeable. He pointed out all the sites from Messina to Taormina. Once we arrived in Taormina he said he would pick us up at a designated place and time. True to his word he was right on time. Taormina is amazing. You feel as if you've gone back in time with it's beautiful streets and stunning flowers. We had lunch at a trattoria in the centre of town and the quality was outstanding. If only we could all cook like the Italians. Fresh and light pizza washed down with Sicilian beer (fab) and the best cannoli I've ever had in my life. BRAVO Taormina and Giuseppe.

We had a wonderful time in Casa Melograno II. It's a sober design house, very quiet, with every comfort you need on a holiday.
We enjoyed the fantastic views on the countryside.
Select Sicily offered a warm welcome and excellent service!

Super villa company

Casa Melograno was just as described. In fact it was probably more beautiful. The outside is impeccably maintained and the views are stunning. Select Sicily were very helpful with information and provided a flexible and easy check-in/out process. I will definitely look at their selection again for my next trip.

Villa Groticelli was absolutely lovely - this is an obviously well loved Villa above Scopello. The house was spacious and everything was well provided- the whole spirit of the place is very generous, and I thank Select Sicily- Aldo- for his help also with everything we needed, and some great recommendations for restaurants and sites to visit. The house has beautiful views of the amazing surrounding hills of Scopello which are themselves so magnificant. The gardens were lovely, and the pool was invaluable- we were a group of friends visiting in September so was hot!

Pantry was well stocked, and I really thank Select Sicily and the owners of Villa Groticelli for our wonderful holiday.

We had a great holiday staying in Casa Melograno. We were 2 families (a 3 year old and a 4 month old baby). We were welcomed by Aldo and he was easy to contact if we needed anything. The villa has everything you need, including a washing machine, microwave, large private pool plus many other extras. The pool was cleaned every morning and the garden was kept in good order too. The views from the property are amazing too!

A fabulous first Sicilian experience.

We had a wonderful holiday with Select Sicily and thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful setting of Casa Alba, just outside Sciacca.

The villa absolutely lived up to the photographs, and the setting and view from the pool was simply stunning. For a family of four, the pool was definitely big enough and the adjacent dining terrace was used every day for either lunch or evening meals - it's a very tranquil spot.

With a supermarket literally 500m down the road we were able to pop back and forth whenever we wanted to pick up food and cook at home (relatively) stress free. The porch area provided a super shady spot to while away the evening and watch the sun go down, while the kids chilled (literally!) in the air conditioned bedrooms.

Location-wise, this is a great spot for exploring all the amazing temples on the Western side of Sicily, but you can still mix it up with vineyards, non-touristy beaches and quirky hilltop towns with monasteries, churches and ruins, popping back to the villa in good time for a cooling swim (much to the kids relief!). Our visit coincided with a food festival in Sciacca which really saw the town come to life - it was buzzing!

Casa Alba is a beautiful and well equipped villa. We had a thorough handover (and hand-back) with the keyholder and all-in, this was one of the most relaxing family holidays we have had in years.

Recommended!

Beautiful house in an exceptional environment

the house is very beautiful, very clean and well equipped. There are different outdoor areas to enjoy throughout the day. The view of the vineyards and olive trees is superb. The pool is very nice. The region is very beautiful and allows to combine rest and relaxation and sightseeing and cultural. Everything was perfect.

Best Holiday in Sicily!

My wife and I had a lovely holiday in the villa Le Cicale. The pictures on the website we're very accurate and representative of the condition and location of this lovely Villa the middle of a wine vineyard. The property manager Aldo was very nice and welcomed us to the house. Gave us excellent recommendations on things to see in the area including restaurants historic sites and wine vineyards. We will definitely book for this website again and look forward to returning next summer.

Beautiful accommodations and impeccable service.

My husband and I have rented a villa through Select Sicily for four years in a row, just returning from another lovely stay. We are from the U.S. and have high expectations for accommodations. Select Sicily does not disappoint. Aldo is extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. We like that Select Sicily is a local Sicilian company. Not only does this provide deeper insight into the place and all it has to offer, it supports the local economy--something we believe travelers from abroad should care about.
The villa itself offers a peaceful and sublime setting--sea views beyond rolling hills of vineyards. The house is spacious and well-equipped; clean and comfortable. The support staff are kind and lovely people. Cannot recommend highly enough.

The service provided by Aldo of Select Sicily was very good. His tact and professionalism helped to resolve a delicate situation to the satisfaction of all parties. The villa itself was a delight and we'd happily return - ideally with better weather! The location is so peaceful and with great facilities. Ideal for gatherings of family and friends. The decor is a lovely eclectic mix of aesthetically pleasing with practical. Highly recommended.

What a beautiful villa this is

What a beautiful villa this is, we loved the fabulous views and the generous proportions of the villa. Set in unspoilt countryside the peace and tranquillity of the region pervades the vibrations within the building. This means a truly relaxing holiday was had by all, thank you. Thanks also to Gasper, Maria and to Aldo the support team. Lovely holiday :)

Selinunte Retreat exceeded all expectations. A beautiful property in a tranquil settings. Photos don’t do the property full justice. So carefully looked after by owners. Really is a retreat to soak in Sicily. Walking distance of restaurants and easy reach of beautiful beach. We would love to return.
