We would like to thank Gaetano and Mary for helping to make our first trip to Sicily so memorable. Gaetano was always on hand if needed . He even showed us around the local town on our first afternoon to show us the best restaurants and the beach. The welcome pack was more than welcome and they even told us where to buy the amazing Sicilian cakes. The villa it's self was perfect with a lovely pool. Even though it was near a mall town it was a very peaceful spot when lazing round the pool. I would fully recommend a stay at their villa. Thanks again Gaetano and Mary
We had the best week at Gaetano and Maryâs property. Everything was as advertised and more so. We were welcomed by Gaetano and Mary withrefreshing drinks and Italian pastries and most importantly a thorough walkthrough of the villa and all its amenities. Gaetano also took the time recommending different restaurants and activities in the area, which turned out to be great. The best thing about the villa is definitely the pool⊠also the garden with organic grown tomatoes, basil, shallots is amazing, not to forget the lemon trees. All available for you to harvest. All in all a great stay!
Our stay with Gaetano and Mary was exceptional. They opened their arms to us for our five day stay with a warm welcome, treats and a good lay of the land. This Villa was well equipped, had a beautiful pool and spacious outside areas to dine, talk, swim, sun or shade. The Carini location has great access to Palermo center via the Autostrada as well as the airport. It is a perfect spot to tour the coast from Cefalu to Agrigento by car or railroad (which is excellent), or to tour some of the small towns in the abutting hills. The coastal towns have many beautiful and accessible beaches. Overall our stay was a home run. Graze Gaetano!!
The street around it is small but we were fine with it after a day or two or using it very small two lane rd. That was the only bad thing about it everything else was perfect. Easy to het around great area amd close to modello beach
Eight family members ranging from 15-79 stayed at Mary & Gaetanoâs place for 8 nights. They couldnât have been more lovely, welcoming and accommodating. The home was spacious with a charming kitchen, bedrooms with great a/c, and a large outdoor area for dining, swimming, playing games and lounging. The location is not centrally located in Sicily and but very walkable but we managed many day trips around the island and it is very close to the beach. Some in our groups opted for days around the pool which was perfect to make everyone happy. They made wonderful suggestions for where to grocery shop and eat and Gaetano even drove us to town to show us where to get an atm and catch the train! We highly recommend any groups (from 4-8) stay here for a wonderful authentic experience!
Gaetano provided plenty of correspondence before our stay and set up a wonderful chefs' dinner in residence. The pool was well kept up daily and my grand kids took advantage of it both day and night. I have stayed in thousands of hotels, resorts and villas and Gaetano is by far the most gracious host I have had the privilege of staying with and even though we were only there for three days, I already miss his friendship. Gaetano, thank you for sharing your home and family with mine.

Absolutely beautiful villa and grounds. The hosts were so friendly, kind and helpful. Pastries upon arrival, iced tea and water, and breakfast items. Gaetano and his family were kind enough to transport us to the supermarket and to a nearby restaurant. This villa is a great location as home base to explore nearby sites. I can't thank Gaetano and his family enough for making our stay in Carini so memorable! We hope to return again!
We had a great stay at this beautiful villa. The owners were very kind, helpful and accommodating. The house had everything you would need for an enjoyable stay. The house and grounds were very clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed getting to know the owners. I would highly recommend this villa.
