Excellent villa in the best corner of Sicily

Our favorite place to stay in Sicily!!! We have been there for 3 times and always the same feeling: wonderful, comfortable and mystical place to live a unique experience in a natural reserve area. We hope to go back again!

I have stayed in this lovely apartment every spring for the past 9 years. It is spotlessly clean, furnished with everything one could want (including a fully stocked kitchen) and it is in a great location. Via Giulia is a beautiful ancient and, happily, very quiet street. It is only a few blocks from the Campo dei Fiori, many wonderful restaurants, numerous grocery stores and major bus lines (on Corso Emmanuel Vittorio). The owner, Massimo, is helpful gracious and attentive to the needs of his guests. I hope to be able to return next year.

It was really enjoyable week in Guglielmo eco-Villa. Very stylish design, quiet and peaceful area with the big garden in national park. Kitchen equipped with everything you can need, the fireplace in January gave additional coziness to the house atmosphere. The villa is very spacious and full of light, with coffee you can invite the sunrise from the bedroom. Thank you Guglielmo and the family for hospitality and the chance to relax in our holiday in such a beautiful location

A marvellous location, overlooking to the east the mediterraneo and the Vendicari bird reserve. The house is off grid and that makes it an even better experience. Architect-wise it is a very beautiful house, incredibly efficient and containing all material needed in the kitchen, very extended equipment. We enjoyed every minute. We enjoyed the location. I can highly recommend this house. I can also highly recommend Guglielmo, he is a fast, clear en reliable communicator. The house was clean, there was a warm welcome with mediterranean vegetables and food. There was plenty of sun. We can recommend all of it. We hope to be back soon!

Best location ever, super equipped kitchen and cosy. Beautiful view. Close to Bird reserve Vendicari. Off grid and very wel designed. I love the place and can recommend this place to everyone who is conscious of the climate and our energy. Would love to visit this place again.

We loved our experience at Gugliermo's place. The apartment is very cozy and well equiped with everything you may need. Location is superb! We could walk to the main sights. It is very quiet despite being so centric. Thanks a lot!

  Valerio / Italy

Guglielmo was reliable and the house is convenient to the city center and Trastevere. Good experience.

Encontrarme a Guglielmo en mi primera experiencia de intercambio de casa fue realmente maravilloso.
Desde el primer momento (yo casi no sabía cómo hacerlo) me ayudó y me acompañó en el proceso con muchísima paciencia, empatía y amabilidad.
Con él y con Iryna fue todo muy fácil. Fue muy lindo encontrarnos con Iryna cerquita de la casa y reconocernps; estuvo muy pendiente de nuestra llegada incluso desde días antes. Es amabilísima.
La casa de Guglielmo en Trastevere es preciosa y tiene muchísimo encanto. Si ya me había gustado en las fotos, en la realidad me encantó; el rinconcito en el que está situada, las escaleras de entrada, la preciosa terraza, lo acogedora que es...toda la casa tiene magia!
Además de lo bonita que es, está en un barrio es genial y muy cerquita de todo.
Me hubiera encantado conocer a Guglielmo pero, a pesar de que puso toda su intención buscando ratitos incluso entre sus reuniones, esta vez no lo conseguimos. Será para la próxima, seguro, me quedé con muchas ganas.
Fue maravilloso estar y vivir Roma desde la casa de Guglielmo y su bonitísima energía. Ojalá pueda volver pronto.
Mil gracias por todo!

Un soggiorno nella Sicilia orientale davvero splendido così come le giornate di sole che ci hanno fatto apprezzare ancor più le nostre meravigliose bellezze naturali. La villa Vendicari di Guglielmo è incantevole ha un suo fascino minimalista, funzionalità ed estetica rispondono perfettamente a tutte le esigenze che un soggiorno in un luogo come la riserva naturale di Vendicari. Guglielmo ci ha fornito tutte le informazioni necessarie per usufruire al meglio della struttura.

Guglielmo`s home was the one i immediately fell in love with. Views from the windows made our mornings unforgettable. Apartment interior is just perfect, arty and cosy :) Location - fantastic . Also we had all we need to enjoy our stay. Thank you, thank you, thank you Guglielmo for hospitality!!! :)

It was a pleasure to meet and discuss with Guglielmo during my short stay in Roma. His flat is close to all facilities, walking distance to Termini station, perfect for a short stay :-)

  Uli / Germany

Being in Guglielmo’s place was the first step of what turned out to be the best exchange experience possible. By the time he came to our home in Berlin we already had the feeling of being well acquainted. When he left, he was part of our circle. We look forward to seeing him again

We, a family with two young kids, stayed at Guglielmo's place for two weeks in February.

It was simply fantastic.

We stayed in the smaller of the two houses which was still absolutely big enough for us. The house is very interesting and blends in nicely with its beautiful surroundings. We already miss waking up with a view of the sunrise over the sea.

The garden is huge and offered our kids (and us) a lot of freedom to explore and enjoy. We were surprised by how green the area is this time of year (February), the almond trees started blossoming during our stay and it really felt like spring.

The house is located at the Vendicari nature reserve, which allows for very nice walks and nice beach days as well. There is plenty to explore in the area and with a car you get to the charming town of Noto in 15 minutes and to Syracusa in 35.

A trip to the Etna is a bit under 2 hours and the beautiful towns of Modica and Ragusa are within 1.5 hours away. Also in the area there are great nature walks to make at Cavagrande and a bit further away at Pantalica.

During our stay the day high temperature was between 13 and 17 degrees with a lot of sunshine. Great for walks. Also this time of year there aren't many tourists around, which means you will meet very few people in nature and the towns are calm as well.

The last few days of our stay we had the pleasure of meeting Guglielmo himself. He is a fantastic host and we enjoyed some dinners and a walk through the nature reserve together.

All in all this is really a one of a kind place both for a calm time at the house as for a base to explore the South East part of Sicily. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic stay at villa Vendicari.

Guglielmo really took good care of us. We could easily stay in contact (watsapp).
Because we agreed the housekeepers (a nice German couple) lived in the junior part, we lived in the senior villa. They were very helpful and welcomed us with a nice dinner when we arrived. That's really nice after a day's travel with kids.

The things we really liked and will never forget:
- Always somebody around to give you tips, help,....
- The free choice of a range wood, cleaning,...
- Fast, clear communication with gugliermo, the house sitters, the gardener
Info available (lonely planet, maps, user manuals,...)
- The great design, proportions of the luxury villa. The Eco friendliness of the design.
- Fresh orange juice on the sunbathing terrace with the great view.
- Good walking in the natural reserves nearby
- The looks on the central street in Noto (Gugliermo has good restaurants to advise)
- ...

Thanks a lot for the hospitality, you're always welcome at our place in Belgium

This apartment is super cool and could not be in a better location. Very helpful people, this really made our trip. The balcony is so special, and the funky decor feels very Italian, we’ll never forget it!

Thank you so much! We had such a great time, and the apartment really made our trip!
 

  Mariano / Italy

A parte le scale, tutto perfetto! La casa è una chicca è la vista dal doppio terrazzo ancor di più, posizione fantastica!

Grazie ancora per la cortesia di lasciarci la casa oltre l’orario :-)
 

  Vinod / India

Nice location, and a very historic apartment. Walking distance to many landmarks and shopping places. Maria was awesome and prompt in communication. We had some issues with water drops from a minor leakage, but no big deal. Nice find overall

Thanks for hosting me. Location was great and Maria was very helpful. If you can provide some soap and shampoo in terms of amenities in the future, that would be great.

  Andres / Honduras

Ubicación muy buena. Cerca de Termini, del Coloseo y a una cuadra del metro. El barrio no es muy lindo. El apartamento está bien, tiene todo lo que necesitas. La limpieza realmente debe mejorar, principalmente en la cocina.

  Grosan / Romania

We had a wonderful stay at the apartment, we stayed for almost a month, we loved the house, the neighbourhood and Rome. Trastevere is a beautiful neighbourhood, quiet but very much alive, you will find anything you need in walking distance, it's also close to many of Rome's landmarks, while keeping that classic italian vibe. The house is cosy and the terrace is amazing and lush, Guglielmo is a fantastic and knowledgeable host, he helped us with tips and advice, everything was great.

  Norman / United States of America

Beautiful apartment, wonderful light, excellent location, fantastic and friedly welcome.  Great experience.

  Elio / United States of America

In a city of 3 million people, and a city that can be rather large, this apartment made us feel like true modern Romans. Totally Italian in style, quaint and comfortable. Perfect little eatery across the street with kind owners that welcomed us despite our rambunctious three boys. Great laundry room slash changing area. Wonderful “bird” clock in the kitchen that sang a song on the hour. The kitchen made us want to renovate our own kitchen to match. Plenty of bars near by for coffee or drinks. The Farmers market near by was wonderful to visit as well, and we ended up buying way to many local fresh cheeses from the producer. The host was always quick to answer emails although we really didn’t need to ask much. Highly recommended and we will stay here again!

We could not be happier with our stay. Once we figured out the electricity issues all was good... you may want to get a new lighter for the stove, we tried several batteries for it but we where unable to make it spark... we used matches from the drawer.

  Polina / Russian Federation

The location is great: in old center of the city, but on the other side of the river, in that part of Trastevere which is more quite. The apartment is cozy and nice and you have everything you need. But the best thing about this apartment is the host is Guglielmo. Probably he is the best host we have ever had in Airbnb experience!

Nice cozy place in the heart of the Rome and Guglielmo is a great host! Strongly recommended

Классный гостеприимный хозяин, отличное жилье. Рядом отличные супермаркеты - simply, conad, coop. Рынок совсем рядом. Метро в 3 минутах, 2 хороших ресторана - индийский напротив и итальянский сбоку. Понравилось расположение, близко к termini.
