The only suggestion for improvement is that we found it a little difficult to find the villa. I think clearer signposting on the roadside would be helpful as the villa is set back off the roadside.

The villa had beautiful views. There was wonderful outside space with pool and barbecue.

Could have done with a more comfy seating area. The main “sofa” was a pull out bed. This meant that there was nowhere to sit and relax in the evenings except for at the tables.

Lovely little villa set up in the mountains. Lovely pool and views

The Wi-Fi signal is absolutely dreadful. I don’t have data roaming (rest of the the family do so weren’t that bothered but I had to tether their hot spots to get any signal). You can literally only get a signal if you’re sat next to the router. The coffee machine doesn’t work, we ended up just using instant coffee after having spent a fortune on pods that we couldn’t use.

We had a wonderful week at Casa Maddelina, having spent the previous week on the other side of the island. The gardens, pool and location of the villa are lovely, with spectacular views over the village of Carini and out over the sea. There is ample space to sit or sunbathe outside whether you want sunshine or shade. The layout of the villa is slightly odd but the. We realised it’s actually two separate accommodations - it took me a while to get my bearings! Having said that, the rooms were very spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean.

The location is convenient to airport but you definitely need a taxi or car to get up the hill from Carini center, unless you are super fit. It is steep and long even to the nearest supermarket. Taxis are expensive from the airport. We could only rent a car from the second day because we arrived after 11pm so needed a few taxi rides. A bit more advise or help would be good for guests about this. The drive is tricky in places but not bad compared to driving in Palermo. It is well worth the effort but I felt a bit anxious driving the steep narrow streets (probably just that I'm from Ireland also and we drive on the other side of the street). Also, not a major issue, but the coffee machine was very slow (I think it needed descaling), as it is important for many people to start the day with a great cup of coffee. Something like a sage espresso machine with some Italian beans would suit a property of this quality.

The property was amazing inside and out. Great pool, big rooms, loads of places to relax in the sun or shade. The view of mountains and coast were fantastic and we enjoyed them very much with wine and prosecco in the evenings, we even saw fireworks over the city.. We also had a couple of BBQs which were lovely. Alisea greeted us to access the property and was there exactly at the time she said and gave us our welcome information. It was very late at night but that was no problem. We ate in a lot to enjoy the wonderful setting and facilities. Shopping was very good value for money locally with fresh produce and a good selection of beer, wines etc. It was a good base to explore Carini, and Palermo with a car. It is not far from the airport. Mondello beach is not too far in a car also.

The interior was a little outdated, but it wasn’t a problem for us, we spend most of the time outside in the beautiful garden.

Villa is beautiful on the outside and the landscapes are amazing, we loved the pool, with small garden where we could chill out in the evenings, patio was perfect on warm evenings to enjoy family supper. The views were outstanding. The host was very kind and we were permitted for later checkout with no additional costs what was super helpful 😍

Pool is not heated. Air-conditioning in bedrooms only so the rest of the house is quite cold (we did visit in march, might be different in the summer).

The view was exceptional, the outdoor area was great, the host Giuseppe was very attentive and helpful.

We were there in offseason and it was a little cold, colder in the villa that outside. In the summer this would be a positive but we found it a bit cold.

Breathtakingly beautiful villa - old monastery but upgraded enough for comfort. Phenomenal views, well fitted, good amenities, lovely pool and outdoor area for relaxing. Great utensils and provisions for home cooking. Hosts were just wonderful - great communication, very responsive. Then they went over and above with recommendations and booking restaurants. Their help made the stay 100% better!

Traffic situation is not ideal - meaning if you want to go regularly to the coast or to Palermo, it’s a lot of driving on hilly roads

Quite a big house, great view, garden ideal for relaxing. Barbecue very practically positioned.

The bed we had allocated for my son was in a hallway which was completely inappropriate. He shared the sofa bed with his brother in the main living area, but the window doesn’t have a curtain or blind. The window is floor to ceiling and beautiful, but impractical as a bedroom as you wake as soon as the sun rises. The pizza oven in the photos is padlocked and cannot be used. There were ants and centipedes in the children’s bedroom. The power supply varies across the property, mobile phones wouldn’t charge even being plugged in overnight. A power cut resulted in us not having running water for 15 hours. The linen and towels need replacing. Cleaning supplies were needed to keep the villa tidy - we were given 4 toilet rolls for 8 people on a 10 night stay!! The location means you need a car - there is nothing in the vicinity. There is only one plug in the kitchen for the kettle, toaster, coffee machine, very difficult to manage. Our biggest issue was that we booked a private villa at €5000 for the duration, but we had gardeners and work people turn up unannounced on 4 different occasions. We had a private chef cooking for a family celebration and the gardener turned up at 8pm, it was inappropriate. On the day of departure, the cleaners arrived at 7:30am and stayed in the garden whilst we had breakfast. It made us feel very unwelcome.

The view is wonderful. It is an authentic villa with lots of genuine features. So much potential to be a fabulous property. The pool and outside area was lovely.

Weird lay Out with a loo and shower room off the lounge. Oven is a metal box on a trolley, needs aircon in lounge. Kitchen very basic. Noisey shouting neighbours, and motorcycles every night.

Good pool and beds were very comfortable
