Villa Favola Villa Favola, September 2008

Best villa holiday we have ever had. Roger at the villa was invaluable and a joy to have around. It was fantastic to have him there and take away the drudgery of laying out and clearing up after meals. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

 

Giara Terrace Giara, August 2008

The apartment was amazing. We asked Angela for tea and she got us Fortnum and Masons! In essence the whole thing surpassed our expectations throughout. Many thanks!

Juillet-Août 2008

Déjeuner en un jardin sicilien

Cinnamon Cinnamon, July 2008

We loved our stay. The house was exactly what we wanted. Having rented alot of properties I am always a little uneasy about hidden information but your people were totally open and trueful about the house and location. We loved the feeling of total tranquility and the wonderful sea views. The beach was unbelivable, totally deserted most days (about 15 people for a kilometer) Sundays a few more people but never crowded. Sea safe for young children and only max 5 min walk from the house. We will be back and I have already recommend you to family and friends.

 

Masseria Cacchiamo Masseria Cacchiamo, July 2008

The house is exceptional and very interesting, the owner has done an amazing job restoring and the taste in details was exceptional.

 

Terre di Vendicari Terre di Vendicari, July 2008

A fabulous retreat for the first 4 days of our honeymoon - thanks so much to you and all the staff for making it so memorable. thinkSicily is a great find and a fabulous company to book with. Can't wait to travel with you again Thanks for everything thinkSicily and Terre di Vendicari

 

Villa Saracena Villa Saracena, July 2008

The villa is excellent, the view unbeatable!

 

Soprana View La Soprana, July 2008

The property was fantastic - clean, big and bright with views to die for.. couldn't have wished for more. The area was beautiful with really friendly locals and some great places to eat and drink. Just wish we'd had some more time to look around the local towns.

 

Principato, villa with pool in Sicily for rent | thinkSicily Principato, July 2008

The people who took care of the house were very nice and at the restaurant where we ate. I would recommend this house to anyone. We thought the house was centrally located for our needs. It was private and the drive to the cities we wanted to go to was not that far.

 

Donalegge Donalegge, July 2008

thinkSicily offered Superb service! Felt like a valued individual rather than just one more paying customer. Donalegge has a few less than glowing reviews on the web. For the life of me I cannot work out why. It was fantastic! It is clean and welcoming, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the views are breathtaking, the pool lovely and the food was terrific!

 

Villa San Filippo Villa San Filippo, July 2008

The house owner made a significant contribution to our holiday. She was helpful in every aspect of our stay. Her cooking is of the highest standard, and we believe it should come highly recommended with the villa. It would be a shame to go to Villa San Filippo without trying her culinary skills. The overall maintenance and cleaning were also excellent.

 

Badia and pool Badia, July 2008

Surely one of the most stunning villas,in terms of location and housing, in the world! Owners were so kind and generous too. Roll on next year!

 

Aphrodite, rental villa with pool on Panarea, Sicily | thinkSicily Aphrodite, July 2008

Lovely villa and the roof terrace is out of this world.

 

Buzza Alta Buzza Alta, July 2008

The villa is very nicely furnished and equipped. All fittings and gadgets are of a high standard. We had a great time at the villa. Superb view of the sea...You are doing a great job. Please keep it up. We had a great holiday and hope to use your services again.

 

Virzi Virzi', July 2008

We were looked after incredibly well - the staff spoke perfect English, were very friendly and cooked great food. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and the wine from the vineyard was brilliant (and cheap). We loved staying at virzi and would recommend to people as the staff did whatever they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible (were happy to leave us in dining room until early hours of morning and help ourselves to wine). Also when our plane delayed and we didnt arrive at virzi until midnight they still had huge dinner waiting and made sure we had everything we needed!

 

Ballata Pool Ballata, June 2008

I have never arrived at a desination and thought it was better than the brochure/internet until now!! The villa was perfect and laid out so comfortably that you felt at home and that you could use all the facilities. PERFECT!! I cannot praise the service we received from the company enough... well worth every penny, we had the most special honeymoon and the villa should be advertised as being a perfect place for one.

 

Borghetto Il Borghetto, June 2008

Everyone just absolutuly loved being there so much so that one of our guest is considering a Wedding there in "2010". The town of Cefalu was one of the prettiest of all the towns along the Northern coast. thinkSicily did a great job of very through directions from the airport, as well as sights to see, store hours etc. You really made it easy. I am sure you will be hearing from many personal friends in the future to use your Company. I have been bragging all over New York about your services. Thank you again for making it sooooo easy!

 

Zeffiro Zeffiro, June 2008

Great location, great hospitality, great house. Nothing but superlatives for Zeffiro. Would love to return.

The position, pool and garden were outstanding. The owners were both charming and welcoming and we had some very enternaining conversations with them.

The property exceeded our expectations. In particular it was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and had plenty of good quality household linens...The four of us agreed it was the best villa we had yet had and I look forward to choosing the next one. Thank you to you all at thinkSicily for a very professional approach.

 

Balu' Balu', June 2008

We truly had a great time. The house was wonderful.

Villa Armerina Villa Armerina, May 2008

Il Ferrarolo Il Ferrarolo, April 2008

The house and location was superb. We loved the feel of the house and the surrounding grounds. We would definitely return in the future.... Settling ourselves into San Pietro for two weeks was a wonderful experience. We availed ourselves to all of the various indoor and outdoor spaces. We could come together at meals, but then there were lots of different spaces so that people could be on their own to relax or read a book. The kitchen was a joy to cook in and had every size cookware one could ever need. It was also charming to have Antonio deliver fresh oranges, lemons and lettuce to our back door.

 

Soprana View La Soprana, April 2008

La Soprana is beautiful... I found the additional information you provided, the pack containing the booklets and the roadmap,
invaluable.

It was our honeymoon and it was lovely.

Absolutely spectacular property with welcoming staff/owners. Could not have imagined a more Sicilian experience than Badia! Best vacation villa we have ever experienced (and we have had many!).
We hit the jackpot!

 

Masseria Maggiore Masseria Maggiore, March 2008

The service from think Sicily was excellent the information pack gave us everything we needed to know and the information guide on Siciliy was our guide book for the whole holiday. We had a great holiday and it felt like a great 'retreat'. Food was good and the staff were great.

 

Ornella Agati | thinkSicily meet the team, April 2008

Ornella, the Local Manager was fantastically helpful. The most useful local rep of many villa holidays.

 

House has a wonderful location. Sicily surpassed expectations. Wonderful variety of sites, very green island.

Balu is alovely villa and perfect location for a family vacation, just as the website says.

 

La Fenice La Fenice, Chrismtas 2007

We were very happy with our luxury accommodation and with the service of your organisation from beginning to end. The information pack and instructions were professional and informative and the directions to the isolated property were first class. These proved to be very helpful at the end of a very tiring, long trip from New Zealand. Highly recommended.

 

La Pergola La Pergola, Christmas 2007

The owner greeted us with a beautiful Xmas hamper (as did Think Sicily - thank you!!). That made us feel very welcome, especially as it was so close to Xmas. La Pergola is a beautiful residence in a lovely location.

 

L'Olmo pool L'Olmo, New Year 2007

We couldn't have asked for anymore, the owners were spectacular as was the staff and facility..... Congratulations on a great company. Your group from London all the way to Sicily was professional and courteous and everyone went out of their way to be helpful. Melania in London and Andrea also in London worked diligently and efficiently to help us make a last-minute booking.

 

Palmento dei Castagni Il Palmento dei Castagni, Christmas 2007

We had a very memorable time in Il Palmento and would return in another season.

 

Baia dei Turchi Baia dei Turchi, November 2007

All of us completely enjoyed the villa

 

Staff Who we are, October 2007

thinkSicily is one of the most helpful, well-managed travel organizations I have ever dealt with. The staff was knowledgable and extremely easy to work with from booking to departure, and the property was exactly as described.

Masseria Pernice Masseria Pernice, October 2007

From the moment we stepped out of our car, we were made to feel welcome and at home. The owneris a most gracious host and the staff catered to our every whim. We really felt like "Lord and Lady of the manor"!! The most excellent wine we have had in a long time. The whole ambiance of the place was just lovely.

Il Ferrarrolo Il Ferrarolo, October 2007

We had a FABULOUS time at the villa. It was even better than we expected it to be. A once in a lifetime experience.

We had an absolutely fabulous time. Everything was handled professionally and we felt like we received excellent value for the money we paid. It was a great trip with not a single problem.

Moscala Moscala, September 2007

The garden was absolutely stunning and we enjoyed every minute of our stay at this property. The children were enchanted, as were we, and we spent many relaxing hours enjoying it - we cannot speak highly enough of how beautiful it was. The house itself suited our needs perfectly.

Virzi Virzi, September 2007

What a lovely place! Virzi feels 'generous' - there's a trust in the people who stay, there's a warmth from everyone who works there. The accommodation is charming and just what we craved - somewhere that you wanted to come home to. The food was lovely.

Il Piliere Il Piliere, September 2007

Our week at Il Piliere was wonderful! The quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the Sicilian hills where the house is situated is unique!

Solanto Solanto, September 2007

A beautiful stay and place. Fantastic setting and views and a quality villa. Excellent service.

Masseria Cacchiamo Masseria Cacchiamo, August 2007

The house was fabulous - in fact even better than we'd expected....we absolutely loved the property and its simplicity and the people looking after it couldn't have done more for us. Please pass on our thanks to them.

Ai Mulini Ai Mulini, August 2007

The house was extremely comfortable and spacious. The setting is idyllic and pool certainly one of our best ever. Also an extremely welcome 'welcoming meal' had been prepared for us of cheeses and meats and drinks, which since we had been up since 4am with only airline snacks was fallen up with relish - a special thanks to our hosts for this. Ideal setting for walks in the mountains, exploring untouristy hill towns, and swimming in that great pool.

 

Borghetto Il-Borghetto, August 2007

The space of Il Borghetto is fantastic and it is certainly the best pool we have ever had at a villa. The individual properties are well equipped and certainly had everything we could need.

Le Palme Pool Le Palme, August 2007

Excellent. Charming owners.

Villa Favola Villa Favola, July 2007

Perfect villa - like being in a private hotel. The staff, Roger and Bray. were brilliant.

This is a very special property and we felt privileged to be able to rent it.

Borghetto Il-Borghetto, June 2007

We loved this property! The pictures on the website do not fully convey its beauty and serenity. The terrace, the pool, the views, the antique furnishings, the wine cellar -- everything was perfect. In addition, the property manager was so helpful throughout our stay. We arranged for him to cook dinner for us one night, and he prepared a fantastic meal from start to finish.

 

Terre di Vendicari Terre di Vendicari, June 2007

This was really paradise - the only probelm was that it was so wonderful it was hard to leave it. Perfect heaven.

Casale Castelluzzo Casale Castelluzzo, June 2007

The family were wonderful. We appreciated getting a kitchen so well stocked, especially when arriving on Saturday evening with children.

Masseria Maggiore Masseria Maggiore, June 2007

I was overwhelmed with our accommodation and the owner was a gem. I enjoyed the best Italian food ever. We have every intention of returning to The Masseria Maggiore. I would like to wish the owners my very best regards and much luck for their future.

Really wonderful service -everything was better than the pictures!!All eight of us loved it! The pool is wonderful.We came to relize that the idea of renting a villa in San Alfio is a new thing. Even our driver thought we were going to the middle of nowhere--but when the gates opened and he toured the villa with us, he couldn't believe it was such a treasure. The close proximity to Etna is wonderful. Having a cook for two nights was just right--after that you really start touring and are more out for meals. Jessica in London did a great job of putting up with all my questions. Believe me, Gaetano designed and carried out the transformation from winery to villa -- there was always something new and fascinating to look at. Highly recommended. We'll probably be back.

 

Ballata Pool Ballata, June 2007

The property was wonderful, your web site does not do it full justice.

Villa Favola Villa Favola, June 2007

Conca d'Oro Conca d'Oro, May 2007

We enjoyed the freedom to feel as if we were the owners, rather than renters. Couldn't be nicer.

L'Olmo pool L'Olmo, May 2007

Wow! What a fabulous place to stay! The owner is exceptionally hospitable and CHARMING! She treats her like best friends. Fantastic location and facilities. House cook and house boy are very helpful. All the rooms and lounges are wondergully appointed and gorgeous! Fantastic food and wine again...with appetizer and 3 courses meal and plenty of wine served in stunning surroundings.

 

Mandranova Mandranova, May 2007

The owner's grub is fabulous! Very nice authentic Sicilian home cooking! Communal dining was fun and highly recommended. I particularly love their wine selections, and breakfast pistachio paste! Boat trip is also recommended.

Villa Saracena Villa Saracena, May 2007

The staff are absolutely superb and could not have looked after us better. You seriously undersold their contribution to making Villa Saracena such a wonderful place to spend a holiday.

 

Outstanding in every respect - quite beyond expectations. Please pass on to the owner our very sincere thanks for their welcome and excellent attention to every detail. They provided us with food, wine, lemons etc which we very much appreciated as we were tired and could not face going out the night we arrived. They had anticipated that! They even arranged for someone to help us up the stairs with our heavy bags when we arrived and again when we left. The house was beautifully appointed with lovely furnishings, bed linens etc and sparkling clean. Just a joy to be in and we were very sad to leave it. We would strongly recommend it to anyone.

 

Terre di Vendicari Terre di Vendicari, May 2007

Casale Castelluzzo Casale Castelluzzo, April 2007

We arrived very late on Easter Sunday, and the owners had laid out a lovely meal, and enough food for the next day or two. They had even left some easter treats for our children. This was much appreciated. Casale Castelluzzo is a charming and characterful old house full of lovely antiques.

La Case del Biviere Le Case del Biviere, January 2007

This place was so serene and so beautiful...a truly hidden gem! This was the easiest and most comforting booking I have ever made for any vacation. Everyone at the office (Laura!) was so helpful...there was nothing I ever had to ask. Every answer to every question was always presented before I had the chance to ask!
