Villa holiday rentals in Santa Maria del Focallo

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

If you really want to switch off and are looking for almost untouched beaches, you will find exactly that here. We were here with two small children for four nights and had an excellent time. Everything is as described, very clean and wonderful. It is important that you have a car available. The only restaurant on the beach was not open at the end of May. Supermarkets are also reachable only by car. This is not a criticism of the accommodation at all, it just needs to be planned. We would come back.

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.

We had wonderful days in Franca's villa. Our children could play all day in the fenced garden and the beach is only 1 minute away. Franca is a very nice hostess 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.

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.

We traveled as a group of friends for one week and had an amazing experience staying at the Villa. The host was very kind and helpful, went out of her way to help us. The villa is even nicer than the pictures, located 5min from the beach and seconds away from nearest town. Highly recommend to stay here!

My guests and I loved the place. The property is stunning! It's authentic and somewhat private, that is exactly what we were looking for. Ignazio is a great host and very responsive. Couple of points to next guests: - If you are planning to explore southern Sicily, this is not the best place since roads to get in/out are not the easiest. This is a fantastic place to unwind, relax and disconnect. - The property is shared with caretakers living in the property. Despite they are there to help, and somewhat not much around the shared spaces, it might disrupt the "entire property" / "solo" experience, specially if you are looking for absolute privacy. I loved the property but this was a big point for some of my guests that felt a bit uncomfortable. (this detail is mentioned in the property description).

We spent a couple of days at this beautiful villa with our two children and had a truly wonderful time. The house is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything a family might need. The kids loved the garden and pool, while we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and cozy atmosphere. The hosts were friendly and responsive, making us feel very welcome.

Absolutely amazing stay! We were a family of 11 people (6 adults, 5 kids) and we had plenty of space and everyone had a great time using the pool and the table tennis! Very close to Marina di Ragusa, the beach and a supermarket (8 minutes). Quiet, peaceful surroundings with an unbelievable view of the sea. No surprise that our host Carmelo was also amazing. He treated us like family and truly cared about ensuring we had the best experience and stay in Sicily. He also responded immediately when we had questions or any issues. He made us feel very welcome and at home. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience in Sicily, with a host who really cares about his guests, you will not regret booking this place!

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

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.

We had a fantastic stay at this villa — perfect for families! The pool is absolutely lovely and completely private, which made relaxing super easy. The villa is clean and comfortable without feeling too delicate, so we could really unwind without stressing about the kids breaking anything. Paolo was brilliant — very friendly and always quick to help with anything we needed. A great, easygoing place for a family holiday. Would definitely come back!

Wow, what a stay we had at Ivan's place. Situated in a quiet spot just outside of Noto, surrounded by wild flowers, herbs and lemon trees. The most beautiful, private, quiet spot, we felt instantly relaxed and at home. Ivan and Dino were absolutely fantastic, responsive and helpful, thank you so much for making our stay so special. The villa is situated in a great spot for exploring the south east of Sicily, every day we went out and about exploring towns, beaches and restaurants. The beaches were stunning, especially San Lorenzo nature reserve, we had the entire beach to ourselves! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we couldn't recommend more highly.

We had an amazing time at this beautiful villa. The pool was spectacular. The gardens are gorgeous, reminded us of Southern California, and filled with boganvilla, orange trees, palm trees and other beautiful foliage. The pictures don’t do justice to this home. This was the respite from a busy life we so craved. And Fabio, the host, was amazing … responsive and predictive of our every need. We strongly recommend it.

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.

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 :)

We had an exceptional stay at House Nicasia. Giovanna was a fantastic host, and Pamela, who welcomed us, was equally friendly and helpful—both were incredibly responsive, always replying to messages within minutes. The house was spotless and immaculately maintained—it genuinely felt brand new. The garden and lawn were manicured to perfection, resembling a golf course. Inside, the rooms were spacious and comfortable, with high-quality mattresses and pillows that made for a great night’s sleep. The pool area was another highlight: relaxing, well-equipped, and complemented by a fully functional pool house that had everything we needed. Would absolutely love to return—highly recommended.

We stayed there for 10 days and immediately felt at home. Our kids, 4 years and 3 years, loved the pool. By the way, the pool and the facility around it are cleaned daily. Getting up in the morning, putting on swimming trunks and jumping in the pool immediately: that's what I call a vacation. The facility is very nice, large and above all clean. Parking is right in front of the cottage. Since the place is a little more remote, it is accordingly also very quiet in the evening, which I personally find very good to relax. Ms. Gislene, Mr. Giuseppe and her children are extremely friendly and helpful. Everything has been thought of in the furnishings, etc. We will be 100% happy to come back. Thanks!!!

Beautiful location across the river from Noto - the property is well-thought-out and cared for, large variety of interesting trees and plants (lemons, oranges, pomegranates, almonds, etc) around the house, fun pool for the kids, well-appointed kitchen and beautiful spot for evening meals looking over the vista of Noto as the sun sets. However, the highlight was the hosts - Emanuel and Sebastiano - flexible with check-in and check-out, Emanuel took the time to answer all of our questions, introduce us to all of the interesting parts of the property, and provide local recommendations, and Sebastiano was very helpful and patient when I forgot our passports at the house and had to return to get them - he safeguarded them and met me in town to return them. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Bruno and Julie’s house, they were so helpful and friendly. We loved that the house was very private and the garden is gorgeous. Nice big pool and they have created the rooms in a way that if you would stay here with three couples everybody has their privacy. Nice to have two terraces where you can eat so you always have shade or sun. And a lot of places where you can sit and read a book or have drinks. Full functioning kitchen, Bruno even went as far as buying me a milk foamer when I asked about it. We love love love this place!!

We had a really nice time in Pozzallo. The Airbnb was nice and clean, and the host was very friendly. The host was very friendly and always responsive and had some nice suggestions for restaurants and activities. Overall a really nice experience!!

We had a very nice stay! Maria welcomed us warmly and showed us everything. The pool is fantastic, and the pool man was also very warm and patient. For us, it was a very reassuring feeling that someone takes care of the pool so reliably!! The house is a bit older, but there is air conditioning throughout the house, which was very valuable at the 32 degrees outside temperature.
