Good morning! Just a quick note to express my profound gratitude for everything you’ve done to make the last week so special. So incredibly kind and thoughtful of you to leave us with pictures and recipes of the dinner :) I’m taking off for NY this morning and will be handing over the communication to my sisters for the remaining few days of their stay at the Villa. Thank you, once more. All the very best!!!

Our ten-day stay at the villa in May 2019 could not have been better and that has all to do with the warm and impeccable hospitality of Alessia and Giovanni. Not only did they make sure to respond in a kind, helpful and prompt manner at all times, they also arranged everything at and around the villa to be in perfect shape. This included the arrangement of rental cars and a pickup at the airport and of an unforgettable catered birthday dinner at the villa with the most beautiful local ingredients and recipes, all arranged by people as professional and warm as we have gotten to know Alessia and Giovanni. All guests, ranging from 3 months to in their eighties, found all the amenities they could wish for and had the best time during our stay. Outside of the villa, our group enjoyed visits to the Etna, Catania, Messina, Syracuse and Taormina. We certainly left the villa with a bunch of valuable memories and hope to return to it in the future.

We had an amazing stay at Villa Trinacria. The place had so much space and we had an amazing time relaxing by the pool looking up at Etna and out to sea. We also booked a dinner one night which was an amazing experience. The dinner was amazing. I did not expect it to be so delicious and to have such amazing service. We were all so appreciative it was more than we could have hoped for. Our hosts were very kind and quick to respond to all our messages. We had cars and we were able to visit several towns and wineries nearby never having to travel for more that 40 mins. The villa is in a great location. We had an awesome stay. Hopefully we can return one day soon. Thanks

Giovanni clearly takes great pride in his place and in his paese, Sicily. We didn't actually stay at this property firstly booked due to a crazy storm called a Medicane (Mediterannean hurricane), so he gave us a bigger place - for the same price! It was fantastic. He and his team were always there with suggestions or just checking in with us. And he arranged for us to have a Sicilian dinner cooked in our Villa by his very own Nonna! She had us all making pasta the way she has for over 70 years! A great experience for us all - especially the kids! We can't thank him enough for making our vacation so special! Giovanni, Thanks for everything. You and your team were great and we had a wonderful time! And especially for lending us your Nonna for a night!

You won’t find a view like this anywhere else! We stayed here for a few days as part of our Sicily trip with five adults, two kids, and an infant. It was great relaxing time after having been staying in cities for the rest of our trip. There was more than enough room for all of us (we didn’t even use the upstairs apartment) and the house was well-equipped with kitchen supplies, etc. The welcome basket with some breakfast items and some pasta was a nice touch, and we stocked up for ourselves at the local grocery store! We ended up spending more time at the house than anticipated because the views were amazing - the kids (and adults) were so happy in the pool and we could see everything! We did a trip to Taormina, and Mt. Etna, and picked up some wine at the wineries to bring back. The travel company also arranged a wonderful cooking class at home (best food of the trip!!), and the free parking and access to the local beach club was also great. Would highly recommend, esp. for families!

We stayed in Riposto for a week to use as a base to travel around the region. This was a good decision as the apartment was ideally suited to access the motorway. We arrived and were able to park in the street right outside, the apartment which was clean and as described and even though it was very hot when we arrived the air con worked effectively. There is not much to do in Riposto itself, however there are some great restaurants not least the pizza place literally two mins down the street that springs up each night. The highlight for us was the cooking lesson that the host arranged for us in the apartment, where we cooked a feast with the help of a local lady. I would recommend this apartment if you are looking for somewhere that you can use as a base and offers great value for money.
