Lovely house and location. Very clean and well maintained inside and out with an excellent pool which was kept clean each day by Luciano and Rosetta. The pool and the air conditioning were both very welcome in the recent heat wave.

Overall a nice stay.

The Villa was lovely and set in a very peaceful location but near enough to the local town (car required). Only 8 miles to the beach but mountain roads so a slow journey but very enjoyable with spectacular scenery. Some very nice local restaurants and a local small supermarket. Only problem we had was that there was no hot water for the entire holiday. They came to fix it on the day that we were leaving. Apart from tat everything else was great.

BELLA VILLA

Fabio (Property Owner) answered all questions we had in a very timely manner. He is very personable and a pleasure to speak with. The villa pictures on line were a good representation, but even the villa is even more beautiful in person! Stunning views from each level of the villa and the pool was wonderful, clean and refreshing! All the bedrooms were spacious with plenty of storage space. The open concept of the kitchen, eating area and family room were very spacious and flowed very nicely making you feel right at home! The outdoor covered eating area was also wonderful to enjoy! No internet problems. The propery managers, Luciano and Rosetta (they speak English and Italian) live in the town and greet you upon arrival at the villa to hand over the key and complete a walkthrough of the villa with you. They are such a sweet and kind couple and so accommodating answering your calls immediately! I look forwrd to staying at the villa again and a great big thank you to Fabio, Luciano and Rosetta for making us feel the comforts of home! Lisa

Needs some love to be back up to standard

Overall we loved the 'idea' of this property, it really is in a lovely authentic part of Sicily, surrounded by lovely landscapes and with great potential to be a family friendly villa. Fabio was responsive at all times and pre-stay communication was great. In reality, the property hasn't been maintained as well as it should be to be listed as 'exquisite' any longer. All the sunbeds, all the shade canopies, every single bathroom cupboard, one shower upstairs and many of the bedside lights are broken. The property clearly hadn't been cleaned properly before we checked in, as there was a used water bottle in one of the children's rooms, the sheets in two of the double bedrooms were stained, one had dust/sand in the sheets indicating the bedclothes weren't clean. The BBQ outside hadn't been emptied or cleaned. The downstairs bedrooms and the child's bedroom upstairs are not air-conditioned, something which wasn't clear in the posting, in fact the downstairs bedroom smells quite damp. Downstairs, almost all available storage in the bedrooms is packed with linens and towels (great except limits space to hang clothes) but all smelt so musty they had to be washed before being used. Overall the villa was not as pictured in the listing, with everything looking more grubby/worn. On the day we arrived, we were greeted at the property by Luciano and Rosetta's daughter and friends who couldn't speak any English at all who tried their utmost to show us how things worked but the language barrier lead to lots of gaps (i.e. what to do with all your recycling/rubbish, what to do if the electric suddenly trips or the pool filter stops working) - an info pack covering all this would have avoided so many texts/calls to Rosetta (the only person who can speak English). Finally, and slightly weirdly, they asked if we minded the dog who was there (we said we didn't thinking the dog belonged to one of them), and they drove off leaving the dog there, who proceeded to jump up at anyone with any food and follow the children around the pool begging. We had to call Rosetta to ask her to take it away, as it was annoying us, turns out it belonged to a distant neighbour up the mountain?! All these issues were flagged to Rosetta and Luciano but it's unclear whether it's really within their remit to sort them. I think perhaps with a little investment and maintenance this villa could be back up to the standard you would expect for the price but currently it's not quite there.

"prachtige villa" = overdreven

Leuke vakantie gehad in Ciminna! Goede punten: - leuk huis met mooi zwembad - rustig gelegen - uitzicht is magnifiek - ruim genoeg voor 6 a 8 personen verbeterpunten: - door mijn luchtwegproblemen 2 weken lang gehoest vanwege de oude dekbedden die veel veren "loslaten". - wij waren de eerste huurders dit jaar waardoor het huis erg vochtig was en goed gelucht moest worden bij aankomst. - het huis was niet schoon. We moesten eerst zelf met schoonmaakmiddel aan de gang. Mocht je bovenstaande verbeterpunten geen probleem vinden is het een prima huis om te verblijven. Eigenaar en personeel is zeer vriendelijk en zijn altijd bereikbaar.

Beautiful Villa in a beautiful setting

The villa is absolutely lovely, we knew as soon as we arrived we were going to thoroughly enjoy our stay. On our arrival we were met by the lovely Rosetta and her family who showed us around the villa and swimming pool, this was a extremely helpful and reassuring. The villa is very spacious and comfortable, we loved it as soon as we walked in. The views across the valley are truly stunning, so pretty and peaceful. It was difficult to drag ourselves away from the pool but when did we visited The Valley of the Temples, Cefalu, The Capuchin Catacombs and Palermo, all were amazing but we couldn’t wait to get back to the villa. I would definitely recommend staying here and we will be returning in the not to distant future. Thanks to Fabio for answering all of my questions and queries so quickly.

Lovely location for relaxed family holiday

We had a lovely relaxed holiday in Ciminna. Our two young boys loved the pool and exploring the grounds around the villa. The villa itself was very comfortable, cool in the evenings and had everything we wanted. We were well looked after by Rosetta & family who checked on us most days. The Villa is 1 mile from Ciminna which is a lovely small town. We were able to get everything we needed in the shops and the playground was a huge bonus for our boys. San Vitos restaurant was great for both dining in and take away pizza. Car hire is essential here. All in all a great holiday.

Amazing Villa

My husband and I stayed at this villa for 8 days/7 nights end of May/early June of 2016. Dario was awesome to work with in the booking process & we chatted over email and via phone, he was extremely kind and helpful, never hesitated to answer any of our questions. Once we arrived, Giuseppe the caretaker of the house, assisted us with anything we needed & checked in on us from time to time. We were already familiar with the area because my husband was born there and still has family there. The villa is beautiful, with 5 large bedrooms and 3 large bathrooms, a large kitchen (large refrigerator) and living room and the outside is just breathtaking with the pool and terrace area. There’s even an outdoor kitchen area! We didn’t need to use all the bedrooms but we had room to separate our clothing and luggage. The villa has all you need, dishes, utensils, pots and pans, linens, pillows, towels, etc. – pretty much everything you can think of. We did go to a supermarket (Conad) in the next town to pick up a few items for the week and we replaced anything we used: paper dishes, paper towel, plastic cups, napkins and toilet paper. The villa stands alone and the other neighboring homes are a good distance away and you don’t hear any street/car noise. We had plenty of privacy when we sat outside at the pool or on the terrace and the villa has a gated/security entry which only you (and Giuseppe) have access to when you stay there. We felt extremely safe and secure with the gated entry and I had no concerns staying at the villa alone one evening while my husband went into town. The views from the pool area and the upstairs bedroom with the balcony are amazing – views of olive orchards and the hillside of Ciminna. We highly recommend this villa. We had a wonderful stay at Villa San Filippello and hope to return one day!

Lovely villa, lovely stay

We had a 10 night stay at this villa in October and had a wonderful holiday. Fabio was really helpful before we went, providing lots of information about the villa, how to get it (with really detailed instructions) and finally about Ciminna itself. Giuseppe then helped us further whilst we were there with some other suggestions of places to visit and things to do and called by a couple of times just to check we were ok (especially after the massive thunderstorm!) The villa had everything we needed, including towels and linen (some villas we enquired about previously didn't include this or charged for rental). We didn't need to use all the bedrooms, but there was plenty of space to put our belongings and luggage. The villa is set well away from the road and so noise from traffic etc was at a minimum and the view of the surrounding hills and Ciminna was wonderful. The pool was lovely to swim in (even in October) and perfect to lounge around! It takes less than 5 minutes to drive into Ciminna itself from the villa, and although a small town it has all the essentials. The ladies at Blu Market speak english and were very helpful in arranging a meal for us at San Vito. And we highly recommend Habama Cafe (food to die for) and Gattopardo Bar with excellent pizzas to eat in or take away. Really recommend it for those who want to get away and experience Sicily away from the tourists.

Excellent villa and excellent town, a real gem!

I booked this villa through this website, which was simple. The communication and map provided made it extremely easy to organise and to find. The villa itself is lovely, well laid out and well proportioned, the outside area and pool was excellent and is exactly what is needed for summer in Sicily. Fabio was excellent throuh the booking process and Giuseppe met us at the villa. Giuseppe explained to us all the details of the villa and the town of Ciminna, he also booked us a table at San Vito's for that evening. We also bumped into him a number of times during the week and he was always friendly and helpful. Ciminna is a beautiful and quaint little town, with everything that is required; supermarkets (thank you ladies from the blue market!), bars and truly great restaurants. It is an easy drive from the airport and this pretty close to the coast. All in all, a wonderful experience and we cannot wait to return!
