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.

Oct 02,2016Scent of Sicily provided us with an outstanding service. Prompt email communication answered all our queries and kept us up to date with the progress of our booking. A hassle-free Paypal invoicing system made payments of deposits and balance a breeze. On arrival we were met in Marsala and taken on to our beautiful villa which was exactly as described and advertised and then we were left in peace to enjoy our holiday. The villa owner came to provide the agreed services re laundry and pool upkeep and was very friendly and helpful. Our security deposit was returned in full within 48 hours of returning home. A fantastic experience all in all and we will not hesitate to book through Scent of Sicily when we return to Sicily in the future. Thank you!

Aug 30,2016We spent two weeks in Cornino in a beautiful villa: in front of us the sea, behind Cofano rocks! It was amazing in every moment of the day and of the night! Unforgettable holiday in an unforgettable place! Thanks to Alessandra for her kindness!

Aug 02,2016Brilliant company with a high standard of personal and attentive service. The most amazing villa with excellent facilities .Absolutely everything you could possibly want or need during your stay. The charming owners had thought of everything for every occasion. A huge thank you to Allessandra from Scent of Sicily for her patience and efficient support! I asked many advance questions to ensure everything was perfectly organised as this was a special celebration with three generations of my family, so I wanted it to run as smoothly as possible, and it certainly did! Allessandra also kept in touch during our stay, her dedication and advice on places to visit etc was certainly much appreciated. Thank you for your help in ensuring that our Sicilian holiday was such a special and memorable family occasion. I will definitely highly recommend Scent of Sicily and the amazing Villa Sicilian Baglio with its lovely owners to anyone. A perfect holiday!! Wonderful memories, thank you! Ciao!

Aug 02,2016A fantastic location, really peaceful, the only sound coming from the waves lapping against the rocks below. We visited in July 2016 with 2 children aged 10 and 11 and had a fabulous time. Enrico was the perfect host, there to answer questions and advise on the best times and places to visit the local sights, but not at all intrusive. The apartment was perfectly clean and well stocked with kitchen essentials and even a welcome lime dessert home made by Enrico's mother, Thank-you. The apartment was an easy walk 2 minutes to the local village with a great seaside restaurant (you could also swim there for ice creams). Great snorkeling off the pebbly beach (big smooth rocks, easy to clamber over). We would certainly recommend to family and friends as a great apartment to base yourself in for exploring Etna and the eastern coast of Sicily.

Jul 30,2016It is the second time that I booked our two week summer holiday through Scent of Sicily in two different villas and I'll do it again!! Beautiful villas, places and food. Everything matched the descriptions and pictures that we found on the web site . Scent of Sicily really take care of your wellness.

Jul 26,2016The only thing to improve would be to provide a more detailed map . Indeed, despite a proper address my GPS sent me on a parrallel road ... It's always nice when you arrive somewhere to find a fruit basket and some refreshments . Also thank you to the owners for small gifts during our stay.

Jul 26,2016We booked our two week summer holiday through Scent of Sicily. They were very helpful, made booking (and paying) easy. We had clear and precise instructions for reaching our villa. The service and support we received while on holiday was great, and the security deposit was refunded promptly. They did an fantastic job, I would definitely book with them again.

Jul 25,2016Scent of Sicily was first rate, from start to finish. I contacted several agencies to help me find a place in Sicily on relatively short notice, and Scent of Sicily was by far the most responsive and responsible, understood what we were looking for, and found us a great place. Their advance instructions were exhaustive, and they stayed in touch throughout our stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. Will definitely use them for future trips.

Jul 14,2016This villa was perfect for a large group of friends attending a local wedding. The amenities were very good, we particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating area with the fabulous views and the outdoor kitchen. The pool is small but we still made use of it. We were very happy during our stay and with the level of service provided by the company both in the booking process and during our stay in Cefalu.

Jul 13,2016Very nice villa with great pool and lots of room. The kitchen between the pool and the villa was perfect for cooking nice mediterranean dishes and enjoying the vacation. Recommended if you want a big and quiet place.

Jul 13,2016ho affittato una bellissima villetta con giardino a Marsala e tutto è stato perfetto, i proprietari molto gentili e sempre presenti quando necessario, la casa molto bella, ben arredata e dotata di tutti i comfort, con tanto di cesto di benvenuto al nostro arrivo. Consiglio vivamente Scent of Sicily per la professionalità, per la gentilezza e per l'alta qualità degli alloggi che propone

Jul 13,2016Complete service a very short response. Due to the stormy weather last year very helpful. Accommodation with distinctive character, you will have to love the sixties. Could be in better shape but nothing real to complain about. No neighbours were present, so we felt completely alone at the coastline and enjoyed the magnificent view and BIG terrace for us alone. Downstairs at the waterfront the feeling is Robinson-Crusoe-like, perfectly secluded and nobody else on Sicily. If you find the correct streets through Bagheria, Palermo is just a few minutes away, appr. 20 minutes (Italian style driving). The next fresh fish just five minutes in the next village, next to the shore from the fishermen, the next supermarket as well. We spent two restful weeks in October 2015.
