Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Balestrate

Villa avec deux belles terrasses protégées dont une donnant sur la plage avec une vue magnifique.

We had a wonderful stay at Umbertos family home! Thanks a lot Umberto, for all the recommendations etc.! We enjoyed the house a lot, it was very clean, the high ceiling and the splitlevels made the house feel welcoming. A wonderful garden, nice hills surrounding the place and the view of the sunset from above was amazing!!

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Palermo. Das besondere war zweifelsohne die sehr gute Anbindung an die Via vittorio Emanuele. Über diese Hauptstraße erstrahlt Palermo mit den schönsten Sehenswürdigkeiten. Anfangen vom Normannen-Palast, der Kathedrale von Palermo bis hin zum wunderschönen Hafen in einem Radius von ca. 1,5-2km. Besonders können wir die arabisch-normannische Route empfehlen, die uns Marina freundlicherweise angeraten hat. Zu Marina noch ein paar Worte: Marina ist sehr freundlich, herzlich und insgesamt eine tolle Gastgeberin. Uns hat an nichts gefehlt! Einziges Manko: Wir hatten zu Beginn etwas Schwierigkeiten die Unterkunft zu finden, da die Unterkunft nicht am Anfang der Straße ist - so wie die Navigation es angezeigt hat - sondern weiter hinten. Vielen Dank und alles Gute wünschen wir!

L’esperienza nella villa di Gianluca è stata semplicemente indimenticabile. Immersa in un'oasi di quiete, la villa offre una tranquillità senza pari, ideale per chi desidera staccare dalla frenesia quotidiana. La piscina, perfettamente curata, è il vero cuore della casa: trascorrere le giornate a bordo vasca con una splendida vista sul mare è stato rigenerante. Il panorama è mozzafiato, con il mare che si estende all'orizzonte, offrendo spettacoli incredibili soprattutto al tramonto. Di notte, il cielo stellato è stato la ciliegina sulla torta. La mancanza di inquinamento luminoso ha reso possibile ammirare una volta celeste punteggiata da stelle, creando un'atmosfera magica e romantica. In sintesi, questa villa è perfetta per chi cerca un rifugio elegante e rilassante, dove il mare, la natura e la pace si incontrano in un perfetto equilibrio. Non vedo l'ora di tornarci!

We had a long day of travel before our arrival. They were super flexible with our check in time and it was lovely to have snacks, water and breakfast foods all awaiting us, especially the fresh picked oranges from their trees! Great location, rural and private feeling but just a short drive to see everything in the area, absolutely recommend!

Beautiful hosts who were so helpful. The villa was beautiful and felt so authentically Sicilian. Very comfortable, roomy and clean. Decorated beautifully with gorgeous art everywhere.

Great place, certainly designed to enjoy in hotter weather so outside areas can be enjoyed and not put away with the wind as was the case with us! Unfortunately came on a stormy weekend beyond everyones control. Recommend hiring a car if staying with Maia, only 15 min walk from train station but area isn’t particularly pedestrian friendly and trains arent too often/didnt run past 9pm. But none of this the hosts fault, an oversight by myself. Thanks for having us, seeing the ocean from the bedroom was definitely a highlight!

A peaceful quiet location away from the crowds, but close to Trapani. The photos and description accurately match the house. The living area is a great place to relax at the end of the day either cooking a meal or having a drink. Vincenza is a real pleasure to communicate with and quickly answered questions, or provided a few additional items for our stay.

The Adil’s apartment is like on the photos. The two principal rooms are big. One with 3 beds and the other one with 2 beds. The third room don’t have windows and a double bed. The kitchen is small, but enough for preparing a quick lunch or a breakfast. It is really near Central Station, so it’s very easy to arrive by train from the airport. Adil answers you quickly when you have questions and always try to help you.

We are traveling as a party of 4: an elderly couple, an adult couple and a 5-year-old child, and without a car, only by public transport. The accommodation is a large family apartment on the second floor. The windows are well soundproofed, so we're not bothered by street noise. The kitchen is very well equipped. The neighborhood isn't very interesting, but it's a 15-minute walk to Porta Nueva and the Normands Palace, and a 15-minute walk to a train station. The central station is a 30-minute bus ride away. Sergio and his wife were very welcoming and friendly. In short, we recommend this accommodation.

Highly recommend staying here! We stayed for a week and it was a great base to enjoy Palermo from. The kitchen is well equipped and the balcony is great. I was working during the stay and the WiFi was very reliable. Michele was a great host and we would stay here if we were in Palermo again.

Such a cute and quiet place to get away from the city just what we needed! Tania was so nice and we were able to hang out in the garden, pick the fig trees, have eggs from her chickens! Just incredible experience!

The apartment is located in the best Palermo’s area, everything reachable by foot and amazing bars and restaurants few minutes walking distance. The apartment is perfect for 2-4 people, everything you need is inside and it is super cozy and beautiful. On top of it, Enrico is a very helpful and kind host. I highly recommend this place.

This place was wonderful. It was homey and spacious and tastefully decorated. It was also perfectly located for visiting the historic center. I loved the wooden floors and marble staircases. For the size, it was an incredible value. For summer, there is air-conditioning. On the downside, the bathrooms and kitchen hadn't been updated. However, the bathtub on the second floor was huge and worth luxuriating in. The kitchen was tiny, but we didn't use it. We might have if the host had supplied a coffee maker and some coffee, which was done in the other apartments in Sicily we rented. Because we had trouble finding a nearby market, so we had breakfast in a café on the main street. A list of nearby services would have been welcome. Finally, as others have noted, there is some noise from the bar downstairs, especially on the weekend--even in March. We didn't mind it, but I imagine that in summer with windows open, it might be a problem. I would rent here again in a heartbeat.

Unser Aufenthalt in Lillis Haus war einfach perfekt....Lilli hat alles bestens organisiert...Wegbeschreibung... Empfang durch Giovanni ....kleiner Proviant....Kommunikation auch top mit ihr....antwortet sofort....das Haus ist ein kleines Schmuckstück und der Garten mit den vielen exotischen Bäumen, der Blick auf die Berge, der tolle Pool, die Ruhe, einfach herrlich. Giovanni ist die gute Seele des Anwesens und hat immer einen Tipp auf Lager...die Umgebung ist toll, besonders das kunstvolle Parrini hat uns sehr gefallen. Danke Lilli für die super Gastfreundschaft! Wir hatten eine traumhafte Zeit, und liebten deinen Pool. Hoffen irgendwann wiederzukommen....

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche in dieser sehr gemütlich eingerichteten Wohnung mit spektakulärem Blick über das Tal und das Meer. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, ganz wie zu Hause, weil wir von Marta und ihren Eltern so freundlich aufgenommen wurden, mit Eiern von den eigenen Hühnern und Obst versorgt und jederzeit bereit, uns mit Rat und Tat und Ausflugstipps zur Seite zu stehen. Ein toller Standort und in jeder Hinsicht zu empfehlen!

We had a thoroughly enjoyable week and although we had a couple of problems they were addressed quickly. The location is beautiful, peaceful and private. The space was a perfect size for our family of four and we could have managed another two people easily. The pool was a bit cold in October but that was somewhat to be expected - the sea is warmer though. The house is finished to a very high standard. Whilst the drive to the property isn't for the feint hearted, it's worth it when you get there. There is a good but small supermarket about 3km away on the main road. Local highlights include Scopello which has a number of nice restaurants and a small private beach (where Oceans 12 was filmed). We enjoyed hiking in the nature reserve which is ~5km away and had nice secluded beaches to swim off (head further than the first beach). Further afield the salt pans in Trapani are good and we enjoyed a food tour of Balastrate and an olive oil/wine tour of the Augustali farm (through AirBnB)

Vielen Dank für das Bereitstellen der schönen Unterkunft! Wir haben die Woche direkt am Strand in der Nebensaison sehr genossen. Die Lage am Ortsrand ist schön ruhig und trotzdem ist man schnell überall! Einzig die bettelnden Katzen am Morgen beim Frühstück im Garten waren etwas störend. Und das obere Badezimmer hat etwas übel aus dem Abfluss gerochen. Aber wir sind insgesamt sehr zufrieden und empfehlen die Unterkunft gerne weiter ☺️

Stunning Airbnb with spectacular views overlooking Scopello. The house is even nicer than the pictures. Beautiful pool, lovely sun porch on second floor, and hot tub was great for the cool early April nights. Sara, the host, was incredibly responsive and helpful with recommendations. The house was in a very quiet, peaceful hamlet outside Scopello. It is tucked away down a gravel road, so it was very helpful to have Sara meet us near town and drive the last stretch to the house. We hope to return!

Wonderful villa, beautiful indoors and outdoors, nicely furnished, equipped with everything you could need, super clean, spacious and peaceful. Good size swimming pool with comfortable sun loungers to hang out and watch the beautiful mountains. Loved the outdoor kitchen with good size bbq. Great base to explore the northwest and west of Sicily. Castellammare del Golfo has many great restaurants (don’t mis La Tonnara) and is a beautiful town. We also loved our hike in Monte Cofano. Communication with Nicole was excellent, pro-active, friendly and fast responding throughout our stay. Extremely good value for money, we stayed in more expensive places in Sicily that were nowhere near as nice. We would certainly come back

Amazing! Magical! You should stay here :) Honestly, this is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed in the world including fancy hotels. The house is located on a nature reserve, which meant it was quiet and beautiful with truly spectacular views. The sound of the ocean, the fragrant smells of the garden, the relaxing patio overlooking the cliffs and the water - it just seemed unreal. Our friends said it was like being in a movie. The house was very comfortable and relaxed but also well done - modern kitchen, bathrooms and doors. Easily space for 8 people. Caterina was a fantastic host - very easy to communicate with and had a whole array of goodies for us when we entered including fresh fruit, cookies, bread, jam, tea, coffee, milk etc. The town nearby was walkable and we ate at a great pizzeria close by. The nature preserve, tide pools, everything - just phenomenal. I can’t recommend highly enough - and I can’t wait to go back!

En dejlig uge i et hyggeligt og fredfyldt hus. Udsigten fra terrassen er utrolig smuk, og stedet passede også for børnene, da der var fin plads omkring huset, og legesager der dækkede behovet for vores 3 børnebørn ( 3 til 8 år). Poolen var flot og lidt kølig ( solen fik ikke varmet så meget). Eneste kritik er højden på køkkenbordet, og mangel på varmt vand på første sal. Men så badede vi blot i et af de andre baderum.

The views from the villa were absolutely stunning. We felt right at home and enjoyed making dinner and sitting outside on the patio. Pietro was so welcoming and even drove us to the grocery store so we could stock up on essentials. Would highly recommend anyone looking to stay in Palermo to stay here. Private, comfortable, and beautiful. If you are able to rent a car, that is recommended. Note, an international driving permit (IDP) is required and needs to be obtained prior to renting a car.

We loved spending time at Antonino’s place. The property is absolutely gorgeous with an amazing view and the house is just what we needed. There are very nice beaches and places to see nearby, only a short drive away. If we come back in Sicily, we’ll definitely consider Antonino’s place again.
