We spent a wonderful week in Guglielmo’s villa. The place is a beautiful modern villa with a minimalistic styling, surrounded by a wildlife garden. Despite the villa being modern it has the feeling of a very comfortable, cosy rural cottage. My girls loved the garden counting lizards and insects and of course playing in the tree house and pool. The villa is situated in a perfect position for nature lovers, as well as art lovers. It is a short drive to Baroque towns with their endless beauty such as Ragusa, Modica, Siracusa and Noto or the nature park of Vendicari or the wild beach Calamosche. Guglielmo is a great host, although he couldn’t meet us personally the telephone contact was very good, and Salvo (the gardener) was there for us if we needed anything. We would definitely stay at the Villa again when we return to Sicily.



Hi Guglielmo, we had a fantastic holiday, thank you. We would love to come back there one day. Sicily is such a fascinating place that I would love to see more.

Magical place, surrounded by butterflies and amazing views. Unique architecture and great facilities. Next time we will get some friends together and rent both villas! Great contact with owner and housekeeper, very helpful and friendly. Our 6yo loved it too.

In unserem Fall fand die Übergabe persönlich statt - Guglielmo, ein sympathischer, nahbarer und entspannter Typ. Das Objekt - ich möchte nicht Haus sagen, das wäre nicht ansatzweise genug - eine lange Auffahrt, das Haus eingebettet in jeder Menge Grün-liebvoll angelegt, viele kleine durchdachte Details mit der Liebe zur Natur. Clean, aber nicht kühl. GROß, aber dennoch gemütlich. Wir hatten Gewitter und Regengüsse - in dieser Umgebung gar kein Problem - die riesige Fensterfront wird zum Fernseher! Der Weg hinunter zum Pool einfach toll - diese Düfte von Rosmarin, Oregano und Salbei. Das Baumhaus so chillig. Man möchte sich an einen der Tische setzen und ein Buch schreiben, ein Bild malen oder einfach nur diese wundervolle Umgebung in sich aufsaugen.

haben wir uns TATSÄCHLICH wie bzw. besser als zu Hause gefühlt. Sooooo schön. Sooooo erholsam

Great house in a lovely surrounding. The kids loved the pool and the treehouse. We arrived late at night in Catania, finding the house was no problem. There is lots to see in the area, nice beaches in Vendicari. We love to come back!

  Thomas / Switzerland

Wir können die Villa wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Es gibt nichts zu bemängeln. 5 Sterne plus! Wir kommen gerne wieder. Mieter müssen sich bewusst sein, dass die Villa abgelegen ist um man zwingend ein Auto braucht

Dear Guglielmo, as mentioned, we had a great time in your villa. Everything - except the weather - was perfect. Hope to see you again. Regards, Thomas

We really had a wonderful time at the Villa Vendicari. It’s one of the most stunning places we ever stayed, a piece of architecture and design located in a quiet and awesome landscape, with a view to the sea and not far from nice beaches and the enchanting baroque cities like Noto and Modica. And the  nearby Nature Reserve is great for jogging and walking. 
There is a lot of space around the house, a garden with many different trees and a perfect pool and the tree house. 
In the Villa you can find many excellent design details but it is also comfortable and cosy. The terrace under a big olive tree offers you a fantastic place for outdoor living. 
Guglielmo is a welcoming and perfect host, the communication was very easy and he didn’t mind to adjust to our extra wishes . Also Salvo was very kind and gave us some good tips. 
All in all it was a fantastic holiday and we can only recommend this little piece of paradise.

Everything fantastic!!!

A Little Piece of Heaven! We loved the Villa and the surrounding area. The house is super clean, organized, equipped with everything you need, super comfortable...and very very stylist of course! It’s only 10min by car from Noto and less then 10min by car from some the best beaches in the area but you really don’t want to leave the house. Guglielmo is a “super-host”: always available, very responsive and extremely hospitable with his guests. He can share with you names and contacts of local “hidden gems” and he will make your stay even more special. When Guglielmo is not available Salvo is there to greet the guests and help. We could have not chosen a better place. We cannot wait to go back! Thank u Guglielmo!

Grazie Guglielmo per aver reso la nostra vacanza ancora piu’ speciale. Casa tua e’ meravigliosa...un piccolo angolo di paradiso. Non vediamo l’ora di tornare! 

  Stefanie / Germany

Tolles Haus, landschaftlich schöne Lage. Zum Einkaufen muss man etwas fahren. Super Kommunikation mit Guglielmo. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und konnten toll entspannen.

We had a great stay at Guglielmo's place. The villa is well-situated close to several great beaches and a couple nice restaurants (about 10 mins drive) if you don't fancy cooking for yourself. The property was well kept and everything in the villa worked as it should. Guglielmo was a great host!

  Alexandra / Germany

Wonderful house, great views - we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend for a relaxing vacation!

  Raphael / France

We spent 6 wonderful days at Guglielmo's house, which is designed by a catanian architect. The house is amazing: very well located inside Vendicari natural reserve, with a view on the sea, comes with great features (such as the terrace the garden, and the swimming pool), and has a beautiful minimalistic decoration. Everything is design and modern. Furthermore, Guglielmo was very friendly and shared local insights about beaches, villages and restaurants to go to. A 5-star address

  Niklas / Germany

We are back in Berlin, but our thoughts are still in Sicily. We had a great time at your wonderful house, everything a great mixture of design, cultured garden, and untamed nature. The kids loved it, too!
 

  Martha / Hong Kong

Excellent place and host! The eco-friendly villa has a stylish, minimalistic and yet cozy interior (just like the photos), equipped with everything you'd need. You can tell that everything has been thought out down to the last details. Excellent for spending time relaxing: drink some wine in the terrace, chill in the tree house, soak in the swimming pool, watch the sunset on the roof, or even pick herbs and fruits in the garden. There are also different natural reserves, beaches and towns accessible by car, making it the perfect location for a vacation home. The host, Guglielmo, is also a great communicator. Quick in response and perfect English, making check in very easy. I can't recommend it enough!

  Julia / Germany

What can I say - the villa is stunning! Located only a few minutes from the ocean by car (or a short walk) surrounded by nothing but nature. It would have been a little hard to find but since Guglielmo gave us such accurate descriptions of how to get there it was no problem at all. In General he always answered really fast with whatever question we had and was super helpful! The Villa itself is magnificent. It's a beautiful, modern home with a great open concept that lets a lot of light in and gives you the opportunity to enjoy the nature around you. We felt at home the minute we walked in. Then there is also the garden rooftops from where you can enjoy awesome sunrises and sunsets. Definelty a place I would love to come back to!

  Bert / Belgium

We had a fantastic stay at villa Vendicari.

Guglielmo really took good care of us. We could easily stay in contact (whatsapp).
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 guglielmo, 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

Beautiful and secluded villa in the Sicilian countryside, perfect for a relaxing stay with walks to the beach nearby. We had a fantastic time here and even though it is remote, we felt very well taken care of if we had any questions. For peace of mind there is even a circumferential security system, not that it ever seemed necessary. It is also nice knowing that whilst you are there, your environmental footprint is very low, everything you use is powered by the sun in a state of the art Eco villa. We will always look to Guglielmo's place again whenever we are back in Sicily.

From the moment you enter the property of the Vindicari Villa you know you are in for a treat. Two gorgeous architecturally designed villas curve either side of a 100 year old olive tree that all look out over Vendicari nature reserve and out to sea. I’ve been to Italy many, many times but this stay in Sicily topped them all! As an interior designer and stylist the stunning interiors and architectural curves were a complete delight. The kitchen and living area of the main villa were a fabulous central meeting point and as someone who loves to cook there was everything I needed to make incredible meals from the stunning local produce (Siracusa Market a MUST visit). Evenings were spent with dusk apperativo on the rooftop looking out over fields to the sea... Days were spent swimming in the nearby Vendicari Nature Reserve (walk along the pretty timber boardwalk to the sand) or wandering down the villas garden path to the stunning swimming pool at the end of the garden... I highly recommend a local lunch right there at the Vendicari Nature Reserve where stone huts are unpacked daily to create an incredible lunch right under the olive trees. Not that you ever really want or need to leave the villa but if you must... Nearby Unesco World Heritage listed Noto took my breath away. I also recommend popping into one of the many Agritourismo dotted along the coast (Guglielmo has great local secret spots listed in guide book). Also worth a visit is Ragusa, Modica and Calla Mosce (for the stunning tuna dishes served daily). Top that off with a luxurious homecoming bath for tired feet in the master bedroom looking out over those stunning views.... Needless to say I never wanted to leave... Guglielmo was an incredible host and should be super proud of not only the wondrous home he has created but the way he makes his guests feel so at home in luxurious style... I almost didn’t want to write this review as I know this little gem is incredible for the price point and everything it provides will book out (URL HIDDEN) much so I’ve already booked my stay next year... Grazie Mille Guglielmo... CAN NOT wait to return to your stunning Villa! ... An incredible trip in a truly memorable home... 5 stars from me! :) xx

If you value ecology, nature, Sicily, silence, then you will feel at home in Villa Vendicari. The place is peaceful. You enjoy an amazing relaxing view on the sea. You are close to the beautiful Noto. And other key places in South Sicily. Just get a scooter and you will fulfill a romantic idea of Sicily. Guarantied ! Guglielmo is a kind person who will explain everything about the villa. It is solar powered for electricity and water. Even if you are not used to it, you will take the habit quite quickly. I honestly like simple, neat places like this villa. It feels relaxing to be there.

  AXEL / Germany

The Villa Vendicari is even more breathtaking than the fotos are suggesting. The building is situated on a very large private area with al lot of big trees. The villas - we had both houses - have an impressive and interesting architecture. We spent there marvellous days  and felt almost at home immediately. You can see the sea from the terrace (even better from the charming roof terrace). Some of Sicily’s best beaches are in the immediate vicinity and the Vendicari nature reserve is almost at your front door. 
Last but not least there is the very sympathetic owner Guglielmo: he is always very responsive and cares really about his guests. Whenever we had a question or a little problem he helped us immediately. 

  Philippe / France

Very nice architecture in a splendid countryside. The view on the Tonnara di Vendicari and all the reserve is marvellous. Kitchen is very well equiped. Go for it !

  MARSIA / United States of America

It's very beautiful and very minimal. I think the thing about organic minimalism is that it's something you have to be in to feel how soothing it is. The pictures do not do this place justice! It's like the Japanese esthetic where if the planes and colors are toned down, you look more at texture and subtle color variation, and really it affects you more. It's like how when you are in a natural cave, you feel different when in different textural places - where there are lots of choppy rocks, it feels different than in a room where the rock has been smoothed down by centuries of water, or different than a room that has calcium deposits dripping from the ceiling, etc. It's all the same type of material, but it affects you very differently.

We spent a week at the Junior Villa Vendicari in September '17. The place is the perfect accomodation if you want to spend your holidays in a very relaxed way with many beautiful beaches as well as many interesting cities close by. The Junior Villa looked exactly as on the pictures and has the perfect size for a couple. Communication with Guglielmo was very good. He was always at hand and would give you lots of tips where to eat or which beach to go to. It was a pleasure to meet him. The time at his villa was a wonderful ending for our trip to Sicily and we can highly recommend this place.

  Susannah / United Kingdom

Villa Vendicari is a beautiful and extremely comfortable villa. We were well looked after and had a lovely week.
