Scent of Sicily Reviews 

We had an excellent holiday at modern villa Donna Gracia , great location , quiet nestled in a small hamlet of San Nicolas Sicily close to Savoca and Taormina .

Immaculate villa in rural setting but close to Santa Teresa beach - a 5 min drive.
Internally spacious with 3 large bedrooms and en-suites and a good quality kitchen.
Good size Infinity pool with views at the front of the house.
Close to Etna (1 hour drive) and other beach resorts only 15 mins drive.
5 mins from beautiful village of Savoca famous for featuring in The Godfather movie.
The owner was very helpful with local
Knowledge and useful information.

Villa Donna Grazia
A memorable stay in a contemporary villa surrounded by the beautiful Sicilian countryside.
We had the pleasure of spending a week at Villa Donna Grazia. The owners and the agency were consistently helpful and easy to reach via WhatsApp, always ready to assist whenever necessary.
The property is beautifully maintained and provides everything needed for a comfortable stay. We especially loved the pool and the stunning scenery that surrounds it, which made the experience even more special.
There is a wonderfully calm and private feel to the property, making it an excellent place to relax and take in the natural beauty of Sicily.

Villa Donna Grazia
An unforgettable experience inside a modern and charming villa, immersed in the picturesque sicilian countryside.

During our week-long stay, the agency and owners were always available and kept in touch with us via WhatsApp for any of our needs.
The refined and welcoming villa, with all the amenities one could need, left us amazed by its dreamy pool overlooking a breathtaking view.

The whole property has a peaceful and intimate atmosphere, making it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Sicily!

We spent a fantastic week at Blue Sea Cottage and really enjoyed every moment of our stay.

The house is beautiful and looks exactly like the photos. Everything was very clean, comfortable and well organised. The owner and the agency (Antonella and Patrizia) were always kind and available if needed and in touch via whatsapp but honestly everything was so well prepared that we didn’t need to contact them once during the whole week.

We were five people, including a five-year-old child, and the house was perfect for us. There is plenty of space, a jacuzzi and the sea is only about 30 metres away.

The beach was probably one of our favourite parts of the holiday. It is wide, quiet and never crowded, with incredibly clear water and a shallow seabed for many metres. It was perfect for our child, but also great for swimming, walking along the beach and simply relaxing by the sea.

The location is also very convenient if you want to explore this part of Sicily. Selinunte is very close, and in around one hour, or a little more, you can reach places such as the Valley of the Temples, Erice, Trapani, Segesta, Marsala and Sciacca.

For us, Blue Sea Cottage was a perfect place to combine a relaxing beach holiday with discovering some of the most beautiful places in Sicily. We would definitely recommend it and would happily come back.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Kentia/Di Stefano in Carini, just outside of Palermo. We went for a large family holiday, the first for many many years and the villa was the perfect venue for us. It was very large with plenty of rooms and bathrooms so everyone had their own space.

The pool was huge and well maintained.

The outdoor kitchen was an added bonus, and as a chef I really enjoyed cooking there.

The team were communicative and sorted any issues we had promptly and thoroughly.

It was overall a brilliant experience.

We had a fabulous week’s stay at Villa Selene (Villa Silva)! Alessandra and team were helpful and courteous from enquiry and booking throughout. The villa was gorgeous, tasteful and spacious but also homely and welcoming with a fabulous pool and garden. We found lots of fascinating and beautiful towns, landscapes and beaches to visit. We had a super welcome from Floriana and our hosts and a generous offering of food and drink to start the holiday off deliciously. Any questions about the area were answered fully and speedily with recommendations aplenty. We had a wonderful holiday and would recommend both Villa Selene and Scent of Sicily unreservedly.

We had a fabulous week at Villa Donna Grazia👌. Highly recommended.
We were greeted by the most attentive & welcoming host Onofrio, who not only made sure we had everything we needed, gave great recommendations but also provided essentials & warm arancini for our late arrival 🙏. The villa had everything we needed & was spacious. The outdoor area & pool were outstanding. We enjoyed daily swims & relaxed in the peaceful setting.
The location is rural & car recommended but it’s within 5 mins of supermarket, sea front restaurants & only 25-30 mins to Taormina.
Easy to arrange tours & get picked up from the property too.
We’ve stayed in villas in many countries & have never received such wonderful service & hospitality - we will definitely return.
Grazie mille Onofrio for letting us rent your wonderful home ⭐️.

From the moment we booked, we had great communication with our host. Everything we needed was arranged, from transfers to a private chef. The villa was lovely and just as described. Upon check-in, we were given a walk-through with the caretaker. Scent of Sicily checked in with us regularly during our stay. We would absolutely recommend this company, and look forward to future visits to Sicily!

Hi, we rented Villa Magnolia on the outskirts of Modica for 11 days. I would wholeheartedly recommend this house. It's beautiful, clean, and has a great pool. The contact with the company and the person taking care of the house was very good. 👌 Best regards, Piotr from Poland🇵🇱.

We 5 people stayed at the villa from June 22 to July 29. The villa is absolutely amazing, very clean, comfortable for living with children and friends. The villa has everything you need to feel at home. No noise around. The beach is 13 minutes by car, the beach and the sea are very clean. Very cool house, I recommend

Villa Donna Grazia

We have just returned from a week at this fantastic villa, everything was perfect. We picked up our car at the airport and the drive was easy, just over an hour from Catania airport. We were met on arrival by the host along with local fresh snacks which we had for lunch by the pool that day, he also called in with a fresh breakfast one morning during our stay which was amazing. We had the hosts contact which he replied to each time instant when we asked for advice or local information on trips etc.
The house was everything and more and has everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The kitchen and lounge area was lovely and all three bedrooms were large with gorgeous bathrooms.
The pool area was stunning with a large barbecue for an evening.
We spend a few nights in the garden with food from the local supermarket or one of the local pizzerias. There are also local cafes in the area to pick up fresh breakfast pastries.
This is a perfect base to visit local areas of interest, we visited Syracuse, savoca, Taormina , Gardinna Naxos and mountain Etna all were an easy drive from the villa.

We really enjoyed our week at villa Don Salvatore. It was a very comfortable base to explore Syracuse and the local area . The family really enjoyed the secluded garden and large pool and Gabriella was a particularly welcoming host. We would love to have stayed longer!

We had an amazing time at Villa Casale Castelluzzo. The house is conveniently located in the heart of Castelluzzo, close to great restaurants and a beautiful beach.
The villa itself is fantastic, with a large pool and fully functional kitchen. Special thank you to Caterina who made the check in / check out process very smooth, and was available to answer all questions we had.

Our stay was wonderful and everyone at Scent of Sicily was very helpful.

We highly recommend Scent of Sicily and especially Villa Donna Grazia! The service is perfect and the villa is truly amazing. Everything is very clean and new, just like in the pictures. We had a fantastic time in Sicily and will definitely return.

We had a lovely holiday in the beautiful Villa Marsh Harrier.
Everyone at Scent of Sicily was so helpful and kept in good contact with us both before and during our stay.
Thank you.

We spent a glorious week with our friends at Sea Terrace. Alessandra and Viviana from Scent of Sicily provided lots of helpful information via What's App in the lead up to our stay and were very responsive through out to any queries we had. Our host, Enrico made us instantly feel so welcome and took us on a local tour of the surrounding as well as treating us to scrumptious arancini! His recommendations on places to visit and eat definitely enhanced our stay. The villa is furnished beautifully and had everything we needed. We spent many hours relaxing in the lovely gardens and gazing at the sea as well as using the outdoor kitchen/BBQ. There are several bars/restaurants in the village within walking distance and the stunning sights of Mount Etna, Syracuse and Taormina are within easy reach. We definitely recommend Scent of Sicily for an authentic experience.

It was truly magical. Everyone was so helpful throughout the entire process and made our stay so perfect. I can’t express enough how beautiful this home was!! We will be back!

Responsive, informative and generally a pleasure to deal with
