Villa Jasmine

We chose Sicily as a holiday destination for a reunion as our family is scattered around the world.
Villa Jasmine in Valderice was true to its photos and absolute luxury. I so wish I could return one day. We loved the region and felt we got to enjoy the real Sicilian experience as it wasn't so touristy as other parts of mainland Italy. There is plenty of sights to explore close by such as beautiful Erice and the Zangaro National Park
It was in a quiet area and our villa had all the amenities that anyone could possibly want, very clean large pool and beautiful garden
The hosts were there to meet us and very helpful and drove us to find the supermarket, restaurants' etc
Scent of Sicily was an unfamiliar booking site for us in Australia but very professional to deal with ,prompt with all communication and helpful with all requests. Our deposit bond was refunded in a timely way.
Would definitely recommend for people to use this booking site and stay at the Villa Jasmine

Villa Harmony (Casa Natia)

Villa Harmony (Casa Natia) absolutely exceeded our expectations. The location is perfectly positioned to visit the most beautiful sites of Baroque Sicily, right in the heart of this splendid corner of the island. The house is very beautiful, spotlessly clean, every detail seems thought through and reflects the sophistication and taste of the hosts. It is extremely relaxing, the only sounds coming from the surrounding countryside. Our kids loved the pool and the farm animals. We just wished we had more time to spend there. We will cherish the memory of our hosts' warm and generous hospitality for a very long time. Thank you Scent of Sicily for an unforgettable holiday. Michael and Annalisa, Melbourne Australia

Everything from the initial booking to …

Everything from the initial booking to us leaving went smoothly and as planned. Villa Lilybeum looked beautiful in the online video but actually exceeded our expectations and requirements. It was stunning and well situated for food shopping, the fabulous Villa Favorita restaurant and sight seeing.

perfect!

Very good location with beach bar (with excellent breakfast cappuccinos!) and local shop within walking distance and easy drive into lovely Marsala.
The villa was excellent - well equipped, very comfortable and in a gated friendly street of local Sicilians. Even nicer than expected!
The owner (Simona) was delightful, helpful and happy to answer any questions at any time.
We will certainly want to come back!

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service - amazingly awesome villa! Truly beautiful!
The only thing I would say is that when, on Saturday afternoon, I was told that if I didn't pay my deposit by bank transfer by the next evening (Sunday), the villa would be put back in the market. As the banks in the U.K. And Italy are closed Saturday afternoon and Sunday, I was rather concerned that this website might be fake. Thank goodness it wasn't!

We hired two villas from SoS in June

We hired two villas in different parts of Sicily (1 week each). They were both good with nice gardens and pools. Sicily is a lovely island and we visited several interesting historical sites. We received travel directions from SoS, and we also took our own SatNav - our SatNav proved a life-saver when driving to the 2nd villa near Capo d'Orlando, because the villa was up in the hills above the town and we would never have found it with the Google directions we were given. So my tip is - take your own SatNav if you are driving. Otherwise, all was well and we had a great time. We visited Taormina, and learned that parking there can be difficult! So research it beforehand. I would use SoS again.
