"The house is located on a large proprety that is like an olive tree plantation (although you can also find orange, lemon, apple, fig and persimmon trees there). The house PA007 is charming with a nice exterior and very tasteful and homely interior with a lot of space, a huge terrace with a good view. This is a great place for a family or 2 couples.
Renata, the owner, speaks English. She is very nice so you immediately feel like you made a new friend.
It is about a 30 min drive from Palermo. The villa is located on a hill and it is so big that you will need help from Renata to find the entrance for the first time! There is a small coastal town about 5 min away by car where you can find some nice restaurants"

"My husband and I had such a lovely time in the Villa Marinari, and I cannot say enough good things about it.There was a beautiful view from the many windows in every room, and the many terraces all looked out over the sea just below. We both love to cook and went to the produce market in Augusta several mornings to buy the most amazing fruits, vegetables, sausages, and ricotta so fresh that it was still warm. Returning to the villa, we were able to prepare many lovely meals in the little kitchen which we then enjoyed at the outdoor dining areas, either on the covered porch outside our bedroom, or the beautiful garden terrace above. Surrounded by magnificent blossoms and trees, overlooking the sea below, eating fresh fava beans, what more could you ask?
The sea just below the villa is beautiful, and the beach area is somewhat isolated by a lava outcropping that makes it possible to stand right on top of the water.The lovely town of Siracusa and the island of Ortygia are nearby, and we were able to drive to all of the spots that we wanted to visit from the Villa Marinari.
I will always dream of returning to the Villa Marinari and very much appreciate your assistance in making all this possible."

"We had great time in Sicily and we really enjoyed our stay in your lovely home.
The owners are a lovely family and we really felt at home.
Thank you for the warm reception."

"Another enjoyable week in this quaint house amongst the olives and lemon and orange trees!
The owners are a lovely family who really make you feel at home.
All in all, it's a special place far away from the bustle of modern life."

"A very comfortable apartment very close to all the tourist attractions. Also the owners are very helpfull and I recommend a self accommodation to anyone, as you have the freedom to come and go as you please."

"The warm welcome and hospitality received upon arrival just makes you feel that you have come home. An experience worth having."

We truly enjoyed our stay in your lovely home, we enjoyed the convenience of having our own house, rather than a hotel room or staying with other people. We really felt at home; we also enjoyed our walks along the lemon orchard, the delicious perfume in the air coming from the lemon's; also the beautiful olive trees, not neglecting to mention the beautiful roses.
We enjoyed our walks by the water with its awesome view; and the convenience of the stores in the town of Santa Nicola. We also want to thank you for the warm welcome. To say it in one sentence: “we had a wonderful time, Thank you!"

"This has been one of our best experiences in all of Italy! Salvatore and Pascale are warm, accommodating, and have gone out of their way to be very helpful. It is like being at home.
The location is very convienient for visiting many sights in the west of Sicily, it is close to the center of town yet very rural feeling and quiet. The accommodations are very comfortable. We would highly recommend!!"

"We will recommend this apartment and Siracusa and www.sicilyrentals.com to our friends. This is a lovely, cosy apartment & a wonderful city, Siracusa and surrounding areas are beautiful, especially Pantalica (the river pool) and Isola delle Correnti. Siracusa is idyllic!"

"We found our apartment spacious and comfortable. We would choose this over any hotel room available!"

"A superb apartment in a dream location with a fantastic view over the sea. All of the city just around the corner . All presented with extrem service and hospitality! We will recommend this place to our friends!"
