Family-friendly vacation rentals in Balestrate

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Villa Palme! Giovanni, Antonella, and Valeria were exceptional hosts—warm, welcoming, and excellent communicators from start to finish. Their home was incredibly comfortable and thoughtfully set up, especially for families with young children and babies. We felt so at home that we ended up extending our stay by several nights! The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook and enjoy meals together, and the instructions for household tasks like waste disposal were clear and easy to follow. They also provided fantastic recommendations for local restaurants and sightseeing, which really helped us make the most of our time in the area. We can’t thank them enough for their hospitality and would highly recommend Villa Palme to anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly getaway.

Francesco and your wife are truly extraordinary. You can tell they just want to share this happiness with the house and the property, and it’s not just about making money. You feel very comfortable and welcome and have the feeling that you are part of the history of this place because they both talk about it so passionately. I wish I could speak Italian better so I could also talk with Francesco’s wife. I think we would have gotten along well :D The bungalow is really very cute. You have to be a bit careful since you sleep in one room. It’s all mentioned in the description, but I overlooked it at first. The location is perfect and Mondello is a dreamlike beautiful place. I’m looking forward to coming back.

A pretty Sicilian house full of charm with a beautiful garden and a beautiful view of the olive trees, the mountains and the sea. The house is close to the Zingaro and Segestra reserves. Lucietta was very available and flexible. We had a great time at this place that we would recommend.

Davide’s flat is easy to find, just a 2-minute drive from the main road, yet perfectly quiet and peaceful. The apartment is beautifully decorated, modern, and well-equipped. Beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen, while basic, has everything needed for a week-long stay. Davide thoughtfully provides both pool and bath towels. The outdoor space is a highlight—immaculately maintained gardens and a lovely pool ideal for relaxing in the sun. Secure gated parking is available via key fob. The surrounding area is stunning, with Alcamo just 5–10 minutes away and the picturesque coastal town of Castellammare del Golfo about 12 minutes by car. It’s also within driving distance of Palermo, San Vito Lo Capo, Scopello, and the hidden gem of Guidaloca Beach. A fantastic stay—great value and highly recommended. Thank you, Davide! and also thank you for your recommendations on places to visit and eat. All in all a great week away with my young family.

We had an amazing time at Giacoma & Carlo’s villa. Everything was as the pictures in the listing and the view of both the mountains and the sea was perfect from the terrace. Giacoma & Carlo was super responsive whenever we had a question and helped make our stay perfect.

We stayed at Lampeduso for 3 nights and it definitely wasn’t long enough. It’s such a great Airbnb in a perfect location. Palermo is such an interesting city, with its mix of cultures and all its gritty charm. The palace was perfect. It rained for two of the days we were there, but because the villa was so fantastic, the weather didn’t affect us at all. The place is huge, with great amenities that made a big difference—washer and dryer for our soaked clothes, umbrellas ready to go, and plenty of space to enjoy a good card game. When the sun did come out, we spent early evenings on the patio next to the pool. Honestly, the villa alone makes us want to return to Palermo.

lovely host lovely place we had a great time

Livio, couldn't have been more helpful. we had some issues with our daughter being poorly on our flight over and Livio allowed us to check in early as well as giving us details of a local doctor if we needed it. We also had car troubles and Livio was incredibly attentive at helping us giving us a local taxi driver he trusted and even delivering us some water! The villa itself is a great base for anyone wanting to explore the North of Sicily and Livio is a fantastic host!

Loved the bright, airy, comfortable and well designed duplex flat with uber slow elevator to top floor! The street is very ‘rough’ pavement-wise and at a cross section with an abandoned building - off putting at first but Bianca’s place is truly a refuge from the grittier albeit fascinating side of Palermo. Everything you’d want to visit is within reach by foot. I am a solo traveler , 70 yrs old who would definitely stay here again.

Great location, apartment and the building were very atmospheric and characterful. we really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. to top it all, Chiara was very helpful and worked very hard to resolve a minor issue that arose

Exceptional apartment, walking distance to all the sights and food. Very comfortable place with everything you would need. And yes the balcony view was fantastic, especially early morning and sunset. Antonio was a great host, reliable and communicated promptly. Palermo is a vibrant city and we loved it! Love to come back and stay again!

We stayed 2 nights, it matches the description, close to the center, parking under the house, nice outdoor space to relax and eat!

The best airbnb we have ever stayed in - seriously! Everything was just perfect! The communication with Cynthia was super easy and she herself is incredibly accommodating, helpful and really puts her heart and soul into it. She has pictures, videos and links for everything to make your stay perfect.

The loft is VERY clean, beautiful and central! There is a beach bag, a parasol, children's toys and much more in the apartment and you can simply use it for the days. We were more than happy with everything and are already looking forward to the next time in Cynthia's place! Thank you!!❤️

Beautiful, comfortable modern accomodation

nice and friendly host, Good location

We had the absolute pleasure to stay at Caterinas house to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary with 4 other adults. I chose this listing because the pictures looked like such a romantic house. Arriving to the island of Sicily was breathtaking, and let me tell you, once we arrived to the house, I was speechless. Caterina was there to greet us with such a warm hug. Entering the house stopped me in my tracks. The house exudes romance and actually brought me to tears. It has the perfect quintessential Sicilian decor and charm. The view from the terrace will mesmerize you. It faces West so you will have some of the most spectacular sunsets with views of Sferracavallo in the peripheral. All 6 of us found the mattresses extremely comfortable. The house is fully stocked with everything you might need for a perfect vacation. Caterina is an amazing host. She loves her house and it shows. We will be back! If you want perfection, make her house yours while visiting Sicily.

Thank you again Silvana & Gino. We will be coming back! Ciao

We had a great time at this place! We are very grateful to the host for the warm welcome — he was extremely friendly and always stayed in touch with us, which was very pleasant. We would like to thank you for the well-prepared guide to Sicily — it was a real find! The house is perfect for relaxing with children: there is a crib, high chairs, a fenced pool — everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The territory is large, green, there is a wonderful area for barbecue — we were happy to spend evenings there. We absolutely recommend this place! This is the place you want to come back to.

Loved the place in Terissini. Was clean and as described. Dario was great and made us feel comfortable.

We had a great stay at Massimiliano’s beautiful house. It was very spacious and well laid out, positioned in a peaceful location. A car was a necessity, but there were lots of places within close proximity. We mainly communicated with Luisa and she was incredibly helpful with recommendations of places to visit and restaurants. We would definitely like to stay here again in the future.

We had the most amazing time at this wonderful house in Alcamo. The property was excellent for our family of four (two adults, two children). it was spacious, clean, and with beautiful views of the ocean from both levels. You’ll need a car, which will give you access to the wonderful surrounding area. I must give our compliments to the wonderful hosts who did everything to make our stay special, including a birthday cake for a family member :) We highly recommend it!

Nuccia was a wonderful host. The house is near the airport and has amazing lemon trees in the garden. Highly recommend.

We had a great time staying at the large spacious villa. A real nice view from the terrace on the pool and sea and garden! Very friendly and helpful host Guiseppe. I can really recommend this beautiful villa!

Terrific place in a quiet and private location with beautiful views. Looks just like the pictures - the pool is amazing, as are all of the outside spaces (there is also an outside shower to rinse off - edge of the property on the right side, end of the driveway). Very close to both Castellammare del Golfo and Scopello. The house itself is spacious. Beds are comfortable (firm). The kitchen and outdoor grill have lots of cookware and utensils to help with preparing food. Wifi, AC (in each of the bedrooms), and clothes washer all worked great for us. Bruno was very friendly and responsive. The welcome pastries and bottle of prosecco were delicious and much appreciated. Overall, highly recommended .
