Carini stay
Gaetano provided plenty of correspondence before our stay and set up a wonderful chefs' dinner in residence. The pool was well kept up daily and my grand kids took advantage of it both day and night. I have stayed in thousands of hotels, resorts and villas and Gaetano is by far the most gracious host I have had the privilege of staying with and even though we were only there for three days, I already miss his friendship. Gaetano, thank you for sharing your home and family with mine. Howard

Absolutely beautiful villa and grounds. The hosts were so friendly, kind and helpful. Pastries upon arrival, iced tea and water, and breakfast items. Gaetano and his family were kind enough to transport us to the supermarket and to a nearby restaurant. This villa is a great location as home base to explore nearby sites. I can't thank Gaetano and his family enough for making our stay in Carini so memorable! We hope to return again!

What a delight!
The first thing to know is that our hosts Gaetano and Maria we terrific. A wonderful welcome and helpful at every turn of our stay. Totally available to us but protected and honoured our privacy. The house itself is both rustic and majestic. We don’t enjoy sterile hotel environments and G&M’s home was exactly not that. Clean and with most things in good working order. We just moved in and thoroughly enjoyed our week. Gaetano even kept the pool open for our stay at our request because we had a few dedicated swimmers. We all loved our stay and recommend this property wholeheartedly!

One of the best vacation
Wonderful spacious, modern, clean, well-equipped villa can comfortably accommodate up to 8 people. Conveniently located 10 min drive from airport and 20 min drive from Palermo. Car is a must if you planning to visit numerous sites in Cicily. One internal and one summer kitchen outside with barbecue gives you variety choices of cooking. Beautiful, private, clean pool with filtrated water allows you to relax after daily tour or sightseeing activities. Gaetano, his wife and son are wonderful, kind and very caring people. Made all possible efforts то convert our vacation to one of best experience ever. Welcomed and greeted with enormous plate of Sicilian sweet cakes, provided information, addresses and phones of restaurants, supermarkets and advised about places to visit. Highly Recommend this place! Great value for money!

Fantastic host in a wonderful property
Had a fantastic time at Villa Buffa with the gorgeous pool and the outdoor and indoor kitchen/BBQ setup, with Gaetano going out of his way to make sure we had the best possible stay. As a host Gaetano was always on hand to help us plan our trip, even offering to ferry us back and forth to the train station for a day trip to Palermo (a trip that is walkable but an offer much appreciated in 35C heat!). The villa requires a car to make the most of the trip - our advice is to use the horn round the corners near the villa as it's quite narrow, but it's completely navigable and you're on main roads within thirty seconds. Other trips out include Terrasini for the charming seaside town vibe, Trapani for boats out to the islands and Palermo for the fantastic street food and drinks. It was testament to how much we enjoyed time in the villa that we didn't make it to Cefalu or San Vito lo Capo but were we planning to go again we'd stay at Villa Buffa in a heartbeat.

First visit to Sicily
We would like to thank Gaetano and his family for welcoming us to the Carini Villa. They are such supportive, friendly helpful hosts. They go out of there way to make you welcome at their beautiful Villa. We could have been more pleased and would highly recommend it. The pool was great for the kids (and adults) and the facilities were great. They made our first visit to Sicily a rousing success that we plan on repeating, at the Villa. Thanks for providing a first class facility.

We were very well taken care of!
The property is very clean with lots of room indoors and out! Having a bathroom and shower in every floor is great for a large group. Air conditioning works great. The pool is immaculate as I believe Gaetano attends to it in the early morning. It was honestly hard to leave the house and visit the city. On top of the great vacation home, Gaetano and his family are such wonderful hosts. They helped us arrange a car rental for a great price, they helped us book a yacht tour from Trapani. And even gave us a ride to the airport and train at the end of our trip. Such kind people who want to ensure your stay is perfect. And very easy to communicate with via WhatsApp if questions arise. Thank you!

Wonderful!
We are just back from a fortnight at Gaetano's Villa, and we cannot recommend it more highly. The house is impressive, with airy, high ceilinged rooms and super effective air-conditioning throughout..for our family, with two teenage children, having spacious rooms for each, and 4 bathrooms to choose from was a real luxury! All facilities and equipment needed is provided and of high quality, and again, our teenagers hugely appreciated the superfast WiFi available throughout ( and outside ) the property.. The garden truly is an oasis, and with the stunning pool as centrepiece, there is lots of room for sunbathing but also relaxing in the shade of the outdoor areas and, of course, the excellent outdoor kitchen area. Carini is a great location from which to explore the north west of Sicily, and we enjoyed trips to Monreale, Palermo, Capaci, Scopello and a wonderful boat trip to Favignana alongside our host family - highly recommended for stunning coastlines, crystal clear waters to swim/snorkel in and to visit Trapani. Closer to the villa there are several great swimming/beach spots as well as a variety of supermarkets, shops and very good restaurants, all within 5-10 mins drive. Finally, what really made the stay for us was the wonderful hospitality of Gaetano and his family. On hand for advice and tips, and even a drive by tour of local sites on our first day - you are left entirely to your selves in the villa, but always with Gaetano available nearby if any questions...this was highly appreciated! We can't wait to return again one day and continue to explore the wonderful island of Sicily and enjoy the Villa again!

Lovely home base for exploring Western Sicily
A group of friends and I came down from Rome to spend six days exploring Western Sicily. Gaetano and his lovely wife greeted us with Sicilian pastries and a tour of the house, immediately making us feel welcome. Later, Gaetano took a few of us on a car tour of the area, pointing out areas of interest to help us get our bearings. Throughout the rest of our stay, he was quick to offer advice and help out if anything went wrong (the water heater went out one night and was fixed by the next morning). Gaetano played ping pong with those of us who were brave enough to challenge us (he won every time) and we loved being able to come back to the villa after a long day to relax in the pool and make dinner on the barbecue. Highly recommend for anyone looking to spend a relaxing time at the villa or as a home base for exploring nearby cities and town. The pictures and descriptions are accurate and the grounds are even more beautiful than picture. If we ever come back to the area, we will be sure to stay there again. Grazie mille per averci ospitato, Gaetano e famiglia!

Like an Oasis!
We stayed here for a week and had a wonderful experience! Checkin was very thorough and our hosts gifted us with wine, pastries and other goodies. The property is like an oasis - palm, olive, hibiscus, lemons, fig, roses, cacti and rosemary grow all over the grounds and the pool is a welcome respite after a day of touring the countryside. The property was spotless and very private - there is a wall surrounding the property which makes it very secure and private. It is less than a 20 minute drive from the airport so it’s super easy to get to. Our hosts were available to answer any questions. I have no hesitation recommending this property.

Blissful stay in Sicily
We spent 6 nights in the villa and had a wonderful stay. Communication with Geatano was always fast and helpful. We got a lovely welcome and arrival basket which was an added touch. We were worried that the pool would be a bit cold without hearing in September, but it was perfect, even for the younger children. There are supermarkets and restaurants within a short drive, and Palermo is within easy striking distance. All in all a very enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Perfect Private Villa with the most Gentle host I have ever met... THANKS GAETANO!!
Not much more words than what I describe above here can be said. From the arrival to the property till the moment we left... We received a warm welcome by a Gentle man (Geatano), his lovely wife and beautiful daughter. They gave us some drinks and ice creams and took the time to have a descent and warm introduction. They took the time to show us and walk us through the beautiful property and allow us to be comfortable with showing us all the necesary information about the accommodation, emergency information, facilities and nice places in the area, nice restaurants in the area and they even ordered us some nice family pizza's because we arrived late and didn't eat yet. There is not a lot to say more about the property and the location/ area than it is simply perfect. It is clean, the interior is very elegant, big bathrooms and the outdoor kitchen and pizza oven are amazing. The house is very nice and there is space for 9 people to stay. The pool is amazing and the gardens are perfect and allow maximum privacy. We can say that there is 100% privacy in terms of the area where the pool, the house and gardens are. What struck me the most and made the whole Experience as never before was the Gentle and helpful pro active charming person of Geatanno. On the second day I was involved in a car accident and didn't know what to do since the other side was quit agressive in dealing with the situation. I decided to call Geatanno and he was with me in 10 minutes and helped me with everything. He handled the situation... Made my family feel comfortable and even came with me to the airport to switch the car which was damaged. I could not thank him enough, but his answer was... It was my pleasure to help and support my guests. 2 days later I got sick and because of a virus I brought from home... I could not breath and never had such experience and at 6:30 in the morning Geatanno came over to the villa and brought me to the emergency hospital and made sure I got the care I needed... He stayed with me the whole rest of the day and even came with me to do some grosery for my family and bought some food for us. Altough I had these two unfortunate experiences.... I could not wish for a better holliday thanks to this special person and in the end he even said it was was an Honor for him that he could do that. WOOOOW... What can I say more... Even my wife said that she felt touched by his gestures and the way he treats his guests... Geatanno... Thank you

Villa Carini provided all the comforts of home for our party of six
We stayed at Villa Carini for six days and enjoyed the location which is close to shopping, the beach and the incredible city of Palermo. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen with a wood fire pizza oven and the swimming pool was awesome. The landscaping is beautiful with cactus, citrus and olive trees. The location provided us the opportunity to enjoy the local culture and experience the friendliness of Sicily. Gaetano and his wife Mary were very gracious hosts and we look forward to a return trip.

We are a family of 5 and all of us had a great time. Gaetano and Mary were wonderful hosts. They welcomed us with pastries and drinks and gave us information about the local area. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We decided to go on the boat trip to Favignana with Gaetano.

We had an extremely enjoyable holiday in North Western Sicily based at this superb villa.
Gaetano and Mary were extremely welcoming, kind and helpful. The villa is an immensely relaxing oasis on the outskirts of Carini. There are plenty of outside areas to dine, relax and sunbathe. The sea water swimming pool is wonderful: large and bathed in sunshine for almost the whole of the day. The villa and grounds are extremely well equipped. We all had great fun making our own pizzas which we then cooked in the outdoor pizza oven. It was an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding towns and villages, including Montreal, Cefalu, Erica & Terrasini. We very much look forward to our return and to enjoy another great family holiday.

A Southern sense of paradise.
Living in Rome, a group of 6 of us wanted to escape the bustling life of the city and decided to book a long weekend away to Sicily. Our aim was not to visit Sicily it self but to relax and enjoy peace and quiet which this villa was perfect for as it was placed in a town outside of Palermo with not that much around. You would definitely need a car if you were planning to enjoy the beach, visit places or even do a food shop as the closest shop was 15-20 mins walk. Gaetano, and his family, gave us a warm welcome which included local treats and drinks before showing us around the place. After looking around, I felt the pictures on the website were slightly deceiving as the villa it self was even lovelier. It couldn't be better equipped for a family or group of people. The villa had everything that we needed and more. It even had extra perks like changing lights in the pool, ping pong table, wood fired oven etc. We were allowed to use anything within the grounds, including the lemons grown in the garden. You were far away enough from other houses which meant that you did not disturb anyone or got disturbed. Unfortunately there was an accident where a bed was broken but Gaetano was extremely understanding, given the circumstances. We paid for the damage but I'm sure I would have found it difficult to be that patient if that was my villa. Not only this, the family also offered us a ride to the airport and asked for a small amount compared to the taxi services It was a truly excellent experience, and I would highly recommend this villa for anyone who is planning to visit Palermo or neighboring areas.
