Our stay at "Amelia" in Porto Palo die Menfi was a perfect experience. Great location, super hosts giving us lots of valuables tips and a perfect beach. The communication with SelectSicily was professional and transparent.

Seven Villas is a vacation dream come…

Seven Villas is a vacation dream come true. Spotless, well built, beautifully and comfortably furnished, it’s difficult to leave for your daily adventures. The view is magnificent and although it was too cold for us to swim, the outdoor spaces are wonderful.
The staff keep the house immaculate and come twice a week.
You can’t go wrong choosing this home for a wonderful vacation.

6 stars for Select Sicily and Aria

Our recent visit to Aria was tremendous! The house is wonderful! It is well located, well maintained, clean efficient and extremely attractive. The view goes on FOREVER!!!
Aldo (owner of Select Sicily) met us at checkin with a lovely welcome basket of fresh fruit, pasta, tomato sauce, bread, coffee, milk and a very nice bottle of wine. Very considerate!
He showed us around and then departed. The "house guide" that they delivered via What's Ap was enormously helpful!
Communication with Aldo and Lavinia was easy. they are super responsive.
If I could give our stay 6 stars, I would!

Just perfect

Making the reservation with Select Sicily was easy and the reservation team always answered our queries promptly. On a very late arrival at this amazing villa we were delighted to find it to be all we expected. The younger members of the family loved the jacuzzi. We had an amazing time and to top it all the volcano erupted and gave us the most amazing view/spectacle of how wonderful nature is. I cannot be more complimentary of the whole experience you won’t be disappointed at the pool and the serenity of this lovely villa. The only negative was the gardens were looking rather parched, but I can only put that down to the covering of ash from the eruption of the volcano. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Villa Aquamarine via Select Sicily

The company, Select Sicily, were always helpful, cooperative and willing to help out with queries, difficulties and general enquiries about anything to do with our booking at Villa Aquamarine in Sicily. The villa was as described. It was comfortable, spacious and had all of the conveniences we could require for our two week stay, not to mention the stunning sea-view out over the bay towards Carini. Service at the villa was first class with respect to cleaning and change of linen. The owner, Mr Vitale, was also extremely helpful and a joy to talk with. He ensured the garden was also kept tidy and clean in addition to being an excellent source of local information and advice. We would use Select Sicily again and also stay again at Villa Aquamarine.

We spent 10 wonderful days in Villa Orizzonte near Noto and were very pleased. The Select Sicily agency was very professional and responsive during the booking process and the on-site follow-up was very well managed by Ketty (cleaning of rooms, pool, terrace, rubbish collection). Many thanks to them.
The Villa is magnificent, spacious, well maintained and equipped, especially the kitchen. The view is beautiful, and dining and relaxing under the carob tree a dream!
However, we don't recommend it for families with small children or elderly people (no ramps inside/outside the villa to access the two upstairs bedrooms, the pool has no stairs to get in or out easily, lots of unsafe places for small children).
The villa's location is ideal: just a few minutes from the superb baroque town of Noto and the beach, not to mention all the other things to discover in the surrounding area.
We highly recommend it!

Perfect

Excellent service from beginning to end, we stayed at Villa Etna in Trescatagni, beautiful home with every possible facility you could wish for, gorgeous views, surrounded by trees, a truly restful environment, with local amenities a short drive away. Just fabulous 👌

More than a slice of heaven

The staff at Select Sicily Villas were wonderful, from reservation to check out. Federica was waiting for us at the property to welcome us and give us a full tour of the villa.
The villa was beautiful, both inside and outside. Perfect for our girl getaway. We were spoiled with choices of relaxation areas, sauna, jacuzzi, entertainment room. This house has everything. The pool is heavenly.
The location was great, away from the crowds but close to all attractions.
Beside the villa is a lounge, Ostra, with stunning views and very nice owners.
I cannot recommend Villa Etna enough, you will not be disappointed.

We booked Gea/Villa Ammos through Select Sicily and would strongly recommend them and the villa for anyone looking for a lovely villa holiday in Sicily.

A Really Great Family Holiday Villa

We booked Etna View so that we could celebrate my wife's 'special' birthday with all of the family together - a rare opportunity when everyone is so busy! For what we wanted it was perfect! The pool and surrounding patio is huge and in the Sicilian heat most welcoming. We enjoying sitting around the family table outside next to the built in BBQ (which we used) and both the table tennis and pool table provided hours of fun. The villa is well located for supermarkets and there is a very handy (but busy) local restaurant that we visited on the first evening. The villa owner provided us with a chef and staff for a celebration meal and it was a perfect way to enjoy the end of our holiday - thank you. The whole villa was clean and the staff very attentive to our requests.

Finally it would be remiss not to mention the star of the show - Mt Etna - it is clearly visible, easily accessible and provided the fireworks. My Grandson loved it!

Wonderful family vacation in Sicily!

We are so glad to have rented a villa through Select Sicily. Their customer service is unmatched - so responsive and helpful, even on weekends and off-hours (they offered to drive us to the airport after we got a flat tire the night before!). The villa was exquisite - so beautiful, clean and relaxing. The pictures accurately represent the rental and honestly, it's even better in person. We will absolutely rent from this company again and can't recommend them enough! Don't hesitate!

Villa Aria

Villa Aria
We stayed here for a week in June. The view is spectacular and the villa is very private in a secluded spot with amazing views of the sea. Villa is modern and very comfortable with lovely modern bathrooms and great outside terrace, BBQ and we loved the evenings relaxing there and enjoying the pool. Only 10 minutes from Selinunte and the beach. Kitchen very well equipped with everything we needed. The staff at Select Sicily are very helpful and we also met with Aldo. I would certainly recommend using them again.

Wonderful villa in an amazing location

We very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Orizzante. The view was spectacular, the pool refreshing and the villa perfect for our group of six. The dinner cooked by Mrs Pinella was excellent and enjoyed by all.
We would definitely recommend Villa Orizzante. The only suggestion we have is that the initial briefing be more proactively informative. All of our questions were answered but we later had trouble activating the A/C and we were not aware of the window sun screens until after the cleaning day. All of our interactions and processes with Select Sicily were excellent. It was a pleasure renting through them.

Amazing House

We stayed in "Prestige" near Syracuse for a week, the house was outstanding. Well appointed and equipped and had four king suites which is very hard to find. Seafront on beautiful piece of property, great swimming pools, tennis court, and a really neat seawater pool. Good location and convenient to grocery stores in town. Can't say enough good things about the house ... you will love it!

The housekeepers came every day and were very good at keeping things tidy. We greatly appreciated their service.

Select Sicily does a great job and we would most definitely recommend them. They were very attentive and made good suggestions on places to visit and transportation. Put us on to an excellent Planeta winery in the area which we very much enjoyed visiting. Also recommended a very good transportation service for day trips.

Lavinia was very patient with our many questions and responsive to our needs.

Excellent customer service & fab villa

Excellent customer service from the entire team at Select Sicily Villas. Very responsive and incredibly helpful when we had a major issue with a hire car (our fault). They did way more than we expected and we are very grateful for their help. Thank you!

Le Cicale villa was perfect and in a beautiful peaceful setting. It had everything we needed for a great holiday. The pool was ideal for us and although not heated, was warm enough by mid morning. There was a delicious and generous hamper waiting for our arrival which really helped after arriving late. Mr Gaspare (the gardener) is a fabulous person and was so helpful throughout our stay.

La Forrestina Planeta across the road is a fabulous place to eat and sample the local wines.

Every Sicilian we met was welcoming and friendly and we will return again to explore more of the island.
