What our clients say...
The owners and the caretaker were absolutely wonderful with us and the property was stunning... We absolutely loved the island and its people, and the food was delicious! 
Eva Nicotra, London, UK
The best rental we have ever had in Europe. The owner was outstanding and Ornella (thinkSicily's Local Manager for east Sicily) also very helpful and kind ...Your organization is excellent. We experienced an unexpected delay with Alitalia. A single call to Ornella relieved the pressure on us re our very late arrival in Letojanni...
Dr. Campbell, Victoria, Australia
Sicily far exceeded my expectations! The wonderful panoramic views of the sea and volcano, the great historic sites and the amazing food and people... The villa views were fantastic... Ornella was very attentive and concerned that we have a wonderful time, and we did... great staff. THANKS!
Kathy Skadsberg, Minneapolis, USA
Virzi was lovely, the facilities were good enough and we had a great time. The food and wine were fantastic... I thought the information provided was fantastic. We needed no other guide and had some wonderful day trips based on your advice. Thank you!
We loved Funcia, and the Scopello area. The Scopello Tonnara was spectacular, and so was Lo Zingaro. We would also recommend Segesta, and Erice. They are a MUST SEE places, and easy to get to from Funcia... Thank you for everything. My wife and friends loved our experience at Funcia, and Think Sicily is the site I'm telling everyone about. Hope to 'see' you all again someday. 
A lovely peaceful holiday in a wonderful location in terms of views and comfort. The villa was exceptional and was a joy to live in. Owners were great and very helpful. Thank you for all your help! 

Il Castello di Falconara, April 2004
El viaje ha salido muy bien, y especialmente lo que hemos hecho a trav?s de ti, es decir, autob?s, restaurantes y Falconara. Hemos comido fenomenal en todos los restaurantes de “le soste de Ulises”, y hemos estado casi siempre solos con todo el restaurante para nosotros, Ragusa nos pareci? precioso, y el conductor Fabio de Labisi se ha portado muy bien, y nosotros con ?l. Falconara sali? muy bien tambi?n, asusta mucho al principio con tanto animal muerto en las paredes, pero luego las habitaciones est?n muy bien, y la cena fue impresionante, sobre todo las tres piezas de pez espada, que no hab?amos visto cosa igual.

"Late autumn sunshine. Playing with the children on the beach on November 1st! Mount Etna was spectacular, much more atmospheric than I had imagined." William Swan, Kingston-upon-Thames, UK (stayed at Villa Farli)
- "The vistas (numerous) and historical sites; the wine and of course - cannoli. Things to recommend? Selinunte is spectacular as is the Cathedral in Monreale - they were highlights of our trip. Erice is a wonderful town. The beach at S. Vito lo Capo is worth visiting, but only in warmer weather. The vistas along the drive to S. Vito lo Capo are breathtaking. The east coast including Taormina, Catania and Siracusa provide bountiful views and rich history. Mount Etna is amazing." Ron Truant, Ontario, Canada (stayed at Il Palmento dei Castagni and Egesta)

Vendicara - wonderful beach, and stunning nature reserve, Modica - not just one but TWO stunning Duomi, and chocolate to boot... in Siracusa Do Schogghiu is our favourite restaurant, for its authenticity, and its stunningly fresh fish...

Ragusa, Modica, Noto, Marina di Ragusa, Agrigento, Pachino, Erice, Selinunte, Enna, Taormina... Lots of little pretty beaches dotted along the coast... Etna and so many others I can't remember just now. We must go back!" Pauline Whittaker, Hants, UK (stayed at Donna Carmela)

Vladimir Konovalov, Moscow, Russia (stayed at La Fenice, La Rosa Dei Venti - Ponente and Il Palmento dei Castagni)

"Modica town for an evening walk... Home cooking at our villa was the best meal we ate... Letojanni beach -just out of Taormina... Porto Palo beach - which is wonderful for children." Helen Davies, London, UK (stayed at Villa San Filippo)
