Living the experience of our lovely Sicily and its superb scenery, in the comfort of our villas, and feel at home. We love to offer our guests, in our hand picked villas, a unique and pleasant experience, a Sicilian way of life, the cultural and natural treasures of our island. Our villas share the typical Sicilian character, made of flavors and fragrances, sea breezes and sunlight flashes of brilliant colors and balmy evenings. We have carefully chosen (HAND PICKED) the properties in prestigious contexts, in the charm of nature or in the ancient meanderings of our cities.

We highly recommend Scent of Sicily and especially Villa Donna Grazia! The service is perfect and the villa is truly amazing. Everything is very clean and new, just like in the pictures. We had a fantastic time in Sicily and will definitely return.

We had a lovely holiday in the beautiful Villa Marsh Harrier. Everyone at Scent of Sicily was so helpful and kept in good contact with us both before and during our stay. Thank you.

We spent a glorious week with our friends at Sea Terrace. Alessandra and Viviana from Scent of Sicily provided lots of helpful information via What's App in the lead up to our stay and were very responsive through out to any queries we had. Our host, Enrico made us instantly feel so welcome and took us on a local tour of the surrounding as well as treating us to scrumptious arancini! His recommendations on places to visit and eat definitely enhanced our stay. The villa is furnished beautifully and had everything we needed. We spent many hours relaxing in the lovely gardens and gazing at the sea as well as using the outdoor kitchen/BBQ. There are several bars/restaurants in the village within walking distance and the stunning sights of Mount Etna, Syracuse and Taormina are within easy reach. We definitely recommend Scent of Sicily for an authentic experience.

Posto magnifico vicinissimo alla spiaggia in una zona molto tranquilla. La casa è dotata di tutto, pulita e perfetta per una coppia. Ideale per chi vuole staccare la spina e godere del relax e del suono delle onde de mare

Villa donna Grazia, magnifica. Ho appena soggiornato in questa villa con la mia famiglia , una struttura nuova con tutte le comodità , ogni locale è stato ben pensato, dal soggiorno la cucina alle camere i bagni e l’esterno è veramente bello , la piscina e la zona barbecue e pranzo sono davvero splendide . Ideale per 6 persone dove ognuna trova il suo spazio. I proprietari davvero molto cordiali e disponibili, ci hanno dato ogni informazione possibile per rendere migliore la nostra vacanza e ci hanno anche viziato portandoci la colazione a casa più volte , davvero splendide persone . La villa è in una posizione ottima perché vicina alle località turistiche più conosciute . Un consiglio se volete passare delle splendide vacanze venite qui a soggiornare, non ve ne pentirete . Torneremo sicuramente

We had a super time in a lovely holiday home in Sicily. The location was perfect with the sea right at the end of the back garden. The view and ambiance was lovely, and the villa itself was perfect for our family of 6. We ate out some evenings but also enjoyed several evenings in. The beautiful town of Syracuse was nearby which we visited several times. One day we went as far afield as Taormina which was an amazing experience. The holiday letting company, Scent of Sicily, were first class. Before arriving, we were on a WhatsApp group with them which helped enormously, from final directions getting there, to any queries we had with the villa and also any questions we had with the local area. They were enormously helpful and we would definitely recommended them.

Siamo molto soddisfatti del nostro soggiorno nella meravigliosa Casa Acquamarina e speriamo poterci ritornare presto. Il check in e check out è stato comodissimo. La pulizia e cambio biancheria perfetta. Abbiamo trovato provviste al di sopra delle nostre aspettative.

Booked a lovely villa outside Scicli with all amenities you could need. The owner was on hand nearby should any problems arise. Pool area was lovely. Scenery and views from the property was gorgeous. Close to the beach and most of the baroque towns. Loved our sympathy in Sicily and highly recommend this agency

We recently stayed at Villa Donna Grazia. Everything was excellent, from working with Alessandra and Viviana at Scent of Sicily to the comfort and quality of the villa. In particular, it was a pleasure to get to know the villa's owner, Onofrio, and his wife Donna. They were actively helping us throughout the stay, connecting us to local restauranteurs / chefs, getting us reservations, and sharing recommendations for places to visit. Our bags were quite delayed and Onofrio volunteered to bring in our bags in case they arrived while we were away visiting Lampedusa. One morning, Onofrio even brought us a Sicilian breakfast of granitas and brioche. The highlight of the stay was hanging out at the pool, listening to the music of the Sicilian hills ... church bells, crickets, and the clink clink of the donkeys and goat bells. We know one issue of concern for visitors in access to water given the drought in Sicily, and as it turns out, this villa is located in a zone where water is readily available without any restrictions. So any prospective visitor can cross this concern off their list.

We recently booked Villa Nature's Embrace through Scent of Sicily. We were quite pleased with the entire process: from booking, changes to booking (to accommodate changes to our plans) and even during the stay. I certainly wouldn't hesitate in recommending the agency to any friends and using their services in the future.

Villa Phoenix is absolutely beautiful. The pool area and house is stunning. It is just immaculate I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Best of all is the host, Cinzia. She was welcoming, kind and looked after me when I had an accident on a boat. If I could give her and this house 10 stars I would.

Perfect in every way. A luxurious villa, with a modern look and with all the amenities needed for a relaxing and great summer holiday. The Villa Donna Grazia delivered on every aspect of our expectations, and the host topped it with his hospitality and thoughtfulness. Always available, always ready to assist, providing helpful tips, while at the same time never intrusive. This ended up being the perfect vacation for us. A pool to ourselves, only a 10 min drive to the beach (Santa Teresa), 15 min drive to Savoca and 30-40 min drive to Taormina. We spent two weeks at the villa, an enjoyed every single moment. We can highly recommend the Villa Donna Grazia, and would love to come back at some point. A big thanks goes to Scent of Sicily as well. They made us feel well taken care of during the whole process, and kept the dialogue open before, during and after our stay, checking in and letting us know that they are there too should there be a need to communicate directly with them. I would not hesitate booking through Scent of Sicily again.
