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!

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.

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

Commentaire du propriétaire
Hi Andreas thank you so much for being such wonderful guests and for your feedback! We are looking into the kitchen equipment and make sure to fill any gaps, sorry you weren't completely satisfied by the equipment. Sometimes it happens that if before a rent in the Junior House a guest has rented the whole property (both the houses) they often move a lot in the Senior House and maybe the cleaner didn't notice that something was missing.
Do make sure to tell us if you miss anything next time! Salvo is there twice a week and you can tell him directly or just write to us.
Great to hear otherwise your stay was great.
Looking fwd to seeing you again here!

We had a great time again in the Villa Vendicari Senior. It´s such a peaceful place, everybody finds a perfect spot at the property: on the terrasse, the roof top, the tree house, by the pool or if the weather shouldn´t be perfect it´s also cosy inside...

Wonderful holiday in a Paradise

posto eccezionale. molto comodo, completo dell'essenziale. spiagge fra le più belle in italia.

  Diane / United States of America

The villa in Positano was perfect! The views are incredible and the location was great. The villa was very quiet, yet very close to Positano. It was very clean and well kept. Air conditioning was awesome, it was very hot outside, so this was very important


Guglielmo, our stay in Positano was amazing. The villa was perfect and the location was great!

  Leigh / United States of America

This place was excellent for us. It was just before Positano, just outside of town, which is ideal for us because we did not want to be in the center of all the major activity. The view, as you can see in the pictures, was outstanding. It was a €30 cab drive into town, and €30 back. Many times we walked down the stairs to get into town, but it was at least 30 minutes of walking. The best thing about the house was that it was extremely comfortable, wonderful air-conditioning, high interior finishes, and solidly built. The house was stripped down though; no extra toilet paper or extra paper towels, very little dish soap, etc. coffee pots were small. Check in was great, as we were met at the entrance by Mr. Quince and helped down with our bags. The villa is adjacent to the Hotel Agavi, a 5 star hotel, and they are more than happy to let you use their lift down, their pool and amazing beach as long as you are buying from them. They were extremely gracious and accommodating. The beds were firm, but the pillows were hard and flat. The house and linens were extremely clean. The water pressure was better in some bathrooms than others, but the hot water was hot and appreciated

Location perfetta per una vacanza rilassante. La casa è curata e dotata di ogni genere di confort

  Brian / United States of America

The location was great! The view was fantastic! Staff was very helpful. With the extreme heat and no air or fans, it was hot at night. That would be the only area to be addressed. Great time had by all.

  Christopher / United States of America

This the second time we rented this property. Very spacious villa in a great location. Not to high up where you must walk a great deal or take a taxi. Fully equipped kitchen and large dining room table. The two patio balconies are huge provide additional space. Good price value relationship

  Renee / United States of America

The villa was ideal for our five days in Positano. My family of six adults had plenty of space to unwind, eat and sleep in the charming rooms. We especially enjoyed having breakfast on the terraces. The views of the sea and parts of Positano are stunning!

We enjoyed our stay! The villa had plenty of space, all the amenities we needed, and spectacular views. My only minor suggestion is to provide an electric coffee maker. Thanks, Guglielmo! And please pass along our thanks to Maria Dolores!

The villa was stunning and much bigger than the photos suggest. Tons of space to enjoy the scenery. It was nice to be out of town for great views and privacy but the walk to the bus stop and the closest market was much further than I had anticipated. The villa had everything we needed, except WiFi. We ran into an issue at checkout where there were linens delivered to the villa in the middle of our stay but when leaving we were told those were not meant for us and the villa manager was not happy. Just a bit of miscommunication. Be prepared for the long walk to the closest bus stop or pay the 25 euros for the taxi into the center of town. We had also made a reservation at the hotel restaurant down at the beach for a night - despite this the hotel still did not want to have anything to do with us which is guess is expected. All in all it was a good experience but a few hiccups along the way.

una casa stupenda e anche molto funzionale oltre che vicina a posti bellissimi. abbiamo trascorso 3 giorni bellissimi 

  Heintze / Germany

The house is very nice and comfortable and suitable even for many persons. The garden is large, calm and nice. You can make use of all the fruits and herbs and just relax. The pool is also very nice, even long enough to swim. 
The owner, Guglielmo Parasporo, is very helpful with everything, answers immediately to questions, and there is also a gardener, Salvo, who comes regularly to see if there is s.th which you need or where you need help.
So, we had a wonderful vacation and can recommend the place. 

  Maybritt / Netherlands

Awesome host, awesome home, awesome place! A true little paradise surrounded by wild spring flowers, olive trees and the sea on the horizon. Loved it! We will definitely come back :) Only suggestion: nespresso machine it’s just quick & easy coffee I know ..but most people like it 

  Helena / Germany

thank you so much – I just got the message that the deposit was payed back.
We had a nice stay in your wonderful villa, everything was really fine, Salvo was very nice and helpful.

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.
 

  Merien / Netherlands

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.

  Sandra / Germany

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

  Loewen / Germany

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!
