Holiday houses in Ferrarello

Our week in the Dream Loft in Sant’Elia was truly magical. We loved the vibe of the house, it was so authentic and carefully designed. Had everything we needed and I especially enjoyed making fresh orange juice and coffee in the morning. The location was absolutely perfect — the view was so beautiful and it felt like we were living in the movie Luca. It was close enough to everything we needed, the Sisa Supermarket and some lovely aperetivo spots and restaurants in Porticello. Mariangela was the most amazing host: Helped us so many times organising transport and even organised the most incredible cooking class for us in Palermo. She was friendly, helpful, and quick to respond if we had any questions. She went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We honestly didn’t want to leave and we’ll absolutely be back the next chance we get!

We had a fantastic stay — perfect for a young family. The shallow paddling area in the pool was a real winner with young children, and being up in the hills made it feel cooler and calmer in late May. The place itself is much more modern than the photos suggest (as others have said), with a clean, fresh feel throughout. The hosts were great — welcoming, helpful, and spot-on with local tips (including the nearest supermarket). Kitchen had some tupperware, which was useful. Quiet, well set up, and full of thoughtful touches — easily five stars.

This house is a 10/10. we spend our first vacation as little family with our 6 month old daughter at Diana and Antonio’s beautiful home and we couldn’t have wished for a more relaxing, peaceful and cozy house. The hosts created a place with so much attention and love for detail, every item, peace of furniture and decoration is picked thoughtfully and fits perfectly into the aesthetic of the old stone house and it’s beautiful Olive Garden surroundings. The hosts are super friendly, helpful and kind. They made sure we didn’t go hungry on the day of our arrival, prepared a freshly homecooked meal and even provided a food basked for us with all kinds of tasty local food and lots of fresh lemons, oranges and mandarins. The view from The pool is just stunning, you can watch the sun set behind the mountains while the lights of the little town pettineo start to light up. We had a wonderful time, we will definitely come back 💛

Matteo’s place in Pollina, Sicily, was an absolute gem! The house is stunning and incredibly comfortable, making our stay truly relaxing. Matteo was a fantastic host—super responsive and welcoming. The nearby beach is beautiful but rocky, so water shoes are a must for enjoying the water. We had an amazing experience and can’t wait to return when we’re back in the Cefalù region. Highly recommend!

A heads-up: as clearly mentioned in the description, this house is about stairs: you need to be comfortable with them. And now the crescendo: the location is a 5-star one, it does not get any more down-town than this, everything is within a short walk. The apartment is a 5-star plus. Comfortable, perfectly climatized, well lit, spic-and-span clean and possibly the best furnished we ever rented (it has everything one can think of and then some). The hosts are a 6-star couple not just because they are proactive, attentive and responsive but because, as the thoughtfulness they put in furnishing the house shows, they actually care. The bottle of wine and the home-made cake one is greeted with are just the icing on the ‘cake’. The final 10 stars: the impeccable business ethics. We had a small mishap due to directions they gave us, and they took care of it without even us having to mention it. You will be in very good hands with them.

We arrived one day later than we had originally planned and Ilona was so kind to allow a late check-out on the next day, so there was no stress with the appointments we had in Alimena. The place itself is really nice, it's one room per floor, bedroom 1 on the ground floor, kitchen and bathroom on the first and bedroom 2 + terrace on the second floor. The second bathroom is in the cellar. It looked nice but we didn't use it. Our impression of Alimena was very good, great views, a picturesque village and very friendly people.

Our week stay at Luca’s olive farm house was simply magical. Really recommend! The 360 degree views of mountains and olive/lemon trees is even better than the photos! Everything clean, private yet social and the dinners are an experience in itself. Luca was the perfect host with great English skills and we would def come again. The road up by car is good for mountain standards too. Grazie mille!

We enjoyed every minute of our 10 night stay at Casa Regina, a great find! The warm welcome and support from Guiseppe and Rosaria was as exceptional as the accommodation. They also exceeded expectations with thoughtful gluten free treats for one of the family. We spent many a happy hour on the balcony with its view of the sea with book in one hand and a glass of wine in the other. The railway station nearby made for easy travel to and from airport and to other places. A wonderful holiday!
