Sunsets!
Well equipped villa with amazing sunsets - we had a great two week holiday and nothing was any trouble for Marco, or his Uncle and Aunt, who looked after us very well during our stay. Thank you!

Wonderful villa with views you cannot take your eyes off
The villa itself has all the mod cons you might expect - and a large pool for refreshing dips during the heat of the Sicilian sunshine. But the star of the show is the location and view. The views are truly far reaching, stretching to distant hills and mountains - down to valleys - and across to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands beyond. My camera is now full of photos of the beautiful sunsets - with glorious colours as the sun sank over the sea. Nearby to the villa is the pretty hilltop village of Castroreale with a couple of bars and restaurants - and mini markets for the bare essentials. The nearest large supermarkets are around a 20-25 minute drive down the mountain roads. Initially the approach roads seemed a challenge - but we soon learned to enjoy the hairpin bends and numerous gear changes - great fun :-) Lastly we have to thank Marco, the owner and booking manager - who handled our questions and was a great source of information about the villa and local area...And a special mention for Guiseppe, Marco's uncle, who lives within a couple of hundred metres of the villa and is always on hand for anything you might need. A kind and generous man - speaks very little English - but has a PHD in the use of Google Translate !

Its an attractive and well maintained property in an excellent location.
We were made to feel at home and couldn't have been happier with the welcome we received from Marcos's uncle Giuseppe. They were always on hand with useful information on the area and would always be available if needed. The villa is situated in a lovely spot close to all the amenities you will require but far enough away giving you peace and quiet. If we were to holiday again in Sicily we would't have any hesitation in staying there again.

Beautiful views and location !
We are a family of 6, with 4 children aged 13,12,10 and 6 . The children really enjoyed using the pool every day and it was a spacious, well equipped villa. The spectacular views felt very luxurious and all for a very reasonable rental price. Lots of interesting places nearbye to visit or else just relax every day !

Beautiful villa with swimmingpool and stunning view
We had a wonderful time at this gorgeous villa. It's exactly like the photos. It's got everything you need. Including a beautiful swimming pool and the beautiful view and sunsets. Marco was very helpful and so was his uncle as they helped us stay there at a very short notice. We informed about the villa in the morning and were already welcome the same day. Thank you very much!

Beautiful villa with astonishing views
I had an amazing week with my girlfriend. This location is perfect as it is close to the mountains and surrounded by unique rural villages. The simplicity is the most beautiful thing about this location. I really recommended this location if you wish to escape from the city life and enjoy fresh air, good food and amazing views.

Spectacular!!!
Villa Mali was an amazing place to spend my honeymoon. It is an oasis surrounded by culture, friendly people and great food! The decor of the villa is traditional with a modern twist. It has a homely feeling that made the stay even more relaxing. It is a very well kept and clean. The landscape surrounding the the villa is magical and made our evening strolls memorable. The owner were very delightful and friendly, they gave us amazing advice on where to go place to see. This gave us a taste of the culture which was spectacular. This is wonderful location for a memorable holiday, I almost miss the feeling of the villa and am sure that I will return! :)

Mooie villa met mooi uitzicht.
Mooie compleet uitgeruste villa met een prachtig ( verwarmd ) zwembad. Kinderen en kleinkinderen hebben er van genoten. We waren er in de laatste week van oktober 2022. De woning ligt hoger. Een mooi uitzicht over de omgeving , de zee en de Eolische eilanden . Het contact met Marco ( de verhuurder) via whatsapp was geweldig.
