Villa vacation rentals in Santa Maria del Focallo

We had a lovely week in this charming property. The location is uniquely peaceful and unlike anywhere else we have stayed. The house is traditional in style and the pool was fantastic. Our 2 children loved roaming around the orchard and adored feeding the animals and collecting eggs from the hens. Gioacchino is a great host and very welcoming, he was on hand for any assistance but also very discreet at maintaining the large grounds whilst respecting guests privacy. We loved hearing all about the fruit and vegetables produced at the property. The shop just up the road is well stocked and has good quality items. A wonderful place to stay in this area of Sicily, we hope to return!

We have just had a fantastic week here with our child and baby. The house was exactly as pictured and described. Our host was fantastic, nothing was too much bother. The area was really nice, it felt safe and the beaches are spectacular. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay. The coffee pods were a lovely touch, as were the cold drinks in fridge.

We had wonderful days in Franca's villa. Our children could play all day in the fenced garden and the beach is just 1 minute away. Franca is a very nice host who was always available for questions. You definitely need a car in the area and the exact location from Franca, then you can find the villa well.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and modern villa, located on Salvatore’s property. Despite being on the same grounds, we had complete privacy with our own terrace and a lovely barbecue area. Salvatore was incredibly helpful and always available when we needed anything. He gave us great recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and places to explore, which really enhanced our trip. The terrace area is peaceful and green, with sunbeds available for relaxing in the sun or in the shadow. The nearest supermarkets are about a 20-minute drive away in Syracuse. All in all, a perfect stay!

A great villa, with a fantastic pool. We loved staying here, the villa is in a secluded and quiet location. The indoor and outdoor areas were excellent and it is the largest pool we've had in any villa. Thanks for providing such a great place for a family holiday.

What a view! Absolutely gorgeous sea views, quiet and private. The property is so close to the water, it was so lovely watching the sunset and listening to the waves while having dinner. We also really enjoyed snorkelling in the lagoon which is just steps from the property. The lagoon might not be easily accessible for someone with mobility problems, however our 6 year old managed to get up and down the rocky steps just fine. It’s a short drive from Syracuse which is beautiful and has some great restaurants and shops and is definitely worth a visit. There are a few supermarkets a short drive away as well. Host was very welcoming and the very generous welcome basket with lots of local food, wine, juice, and treat was very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend.

Great host, always helpfull, nice beach, good place if you come with kids.

A Memorable Family Stay ! We had a fantastic family holiday at Ville Vacanze Cavaliere d’Italia near Noto— 4 adults (parents and sons) ideal for relaxation and exploration. The setting was stunning, surrounded by Sicilian scenery, with a modern, comfortable house and a highlight: the pool with sea views. The location was perfect for discovering baroque towns, markets, and coastal routes. Our Airbnb host Ivan and local contact Dino were exceptional—friendly, helpful, and attentive, always ready to help with tips or support when needed. A thoughtful welcome package with local products added a warm touch. We highly recommend this place for a perfect mix of comfort, culture, and nature in beautiful Sicily. David and Family

Authentic Sicilian stay, close to beach, close to several towns.

Great place to stay if you want to visit Syracuse and don't want to be in the middle of a city. Beautiful beach 5 minutes away. And many other beautiful beaches 15min away by car. Mario recommended a beautiful town, which was the highlight of our trip. Fully recommend the place.

Wonderful villa just outside the beautiful town of Modica. Ideal location for visiting the spectacular baroque architecture of Modica, Ragusa and Noto, and within a reasonable distance from sandy beaches. The villa is exceptionally well equipped, spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained by Georgio who lives next door. We loved sitting outside and eating at the traditional ceramic Sicilian table and appreciated the various shady seating areas around the house and gardens. The swimming pool is a highlight and is kept clean and very well maintained by Georgio. Many thanks to Jennifer and Georgio for a wonderful week’s holiday.

Corrado was so nice and friendly, he was a gentle man. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was perfect. Pool was fabulous. Every recommendation Corrado gave us was superb from beaches to the unmissable Canyon, to restaurants to day trips. I would highly highly recommend this place and the wonderful Corrado

The villa was very well presented, spacious and well equipped. It is in a peaceful, private countryside situation. The beds are comfortable with crisp white bedding and very clean bathrooms. The grounds are excellent being well laid out and maintained! The swimming pool is set slightly away from the main house and is all one depth which was excellent for our mixed age family group. The swimming pool has its own pool house with coffee machine, fridge, shower and toilet facilities. Electric gates provide added security!

My family and I (9 persons) had a great time in Modica. The place is amazing, with the separate kitchen and the 3 houses. Also the garden and the swimming pool are great. Sofia was very kind and helpfull during our stay. We would recommend this place!!

This place is just wonderful for family holiday - the sea view is the best, the shady terrace just calls you to relax- the house itself is beautiful and functions well! Salvatore and his wife took so good care of us! If you like fresh seafood there are many nice, rustic restaurants within walking distance!

We spent a great week in Angelo’s villa with 3 other couples and 3 kids (one 5 years old and 2 babies). It was the last week of October but the weather was amazing and we could enjoy the pool everyday (the water was of course a bit chilly but still ok) as well as the heated jacuzzi. The villa is an amazing renovation and offers a big living room with enough space for everyone. Angelo is a very nice host: always very responsive and helpful. He was also very flexible with the arrival and departure time. The location is also perfect to enjoy Scicli, the beach and the surroundings (Noto, Raguse,..). Apparently we were the last guests of the season and some renovations will be done. For instance the bathrooms and some doors need to be maintained. The poor sound insulation between the floors and the creaking stairs were a bit annoying, but nevertheless we had a great time and we totally recommend this place.

Silvia was an excellent host, always responsive and very helpful. We were able to find the villa with her instructions and she was there to greet us and say goodbye when we left. The villa was spotless and we loved the outdoor space with all its different seating areas and bbq. The house was well equipped with thoughtful touches. There were lots of little extras for our stay including clean towels, jams, treats and Prosecco. A great base for exploring Sicily’s south east. Highly recommend this stay.

wow wow wow. it was just beautiful. as in the photos or even better. you have space,the pool is large .....it is as described. pietro as well as riccardo are helpful and nice. riccardo is always available if something comes up. We were unsure,as it burned nearby and he came to check immediately. We'd love to come back and recommend it to everyone.

My family group of 10 (5 couples) had a fantastic stay at the villa. We were really impressed at the grand buildings and courtyard and especially the pool area. Ignazio was friendly and flexible with our check in time - and on arrival shared lots of recommendations and info on local amenities which was helpful. All of the bedrooms were clean and comfortable, and had big ceiling fans. We do suggest that more pillows are provided (it was mostly 1 per person). The dining area outside is beautiful and we spent a few evenings having dinner and playing cards under the fair lights. The driveway to the villa parking is rough, and you have to enter through a narrow archway. Definitely recommend having a car to explore the area - there's lots to see and do! The pool area was lovely, it felt clean and well kept and we spent most mornings around the pool in the beautiful Sicilian sun! Would recommend the villa to family groups as we've had a really great stay :)

This is a great villa with sensational views. Well equipped and clean. The road to the villa is narrow so best for those with a modest sized vehicle but the views at the end are worth it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and interacting with our host.

Lovely house, lovely pool, very quiet, comfortable beds, would come back again

We had a fantastic stay! The host was incredibly hospitable, always quick to respond to any questions, and just genuinely kind people overall. They made us feel very welcome and ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. It’s always a pleasure to stay somewhere where the hosts truly care about their guests. Highly recommend this place — we’d happily stay again.

We stayed 10 days of guests at Salvo's listings. Two families consisting of 4 adults and 5 children, in two connecting apartments. A large kitchen well-stocked and clean, even water and fresh beers in the fridge. Two clean bathrooms, two nice bedrooms and a second kitchen with a bedroom sofa bed. Large and beautiful pool, in the well-kept garden. Introducable to the area. Ideal for relaxing after a day of cultural visits. Very convenient to the sea, even a short walk away. Many famous villages to see within a 30-minute drive. Salvo was very hospitable, with clear, accurate and quick responses. Recommended!

Francesco and Salvo have the most beautiful villa that’s very private and perfect for our family. We loved the big shaded terrace for the hot midday moments, and especially loved the pool with its wide shallow steps that were perfect for our children. We also loved the location being less than 2 mins walk from the amazing beaches with very clear Turquoise water and 5 mins walk from the excellent Lido Aqua beach with great food. It’s good to have a car to go to wonderful Noto and Marzamemmi and supermarkets etc. Francesco and Salvo are excellent hosts and helped us in many ways. The house has excellent black out because of the in built shutters! Very useful with our children, everyone slept very well. Thank you Francesco and Salvo
