Nice and clean spacious property!
We had a great time in Sicily, we enjoyed the full 8 days and seven nights. Villa Ruffino is an excellent place from where you can explore the island. We went to:
San vito lo capo 1h 15 min. must seen white beach and blua ocean
Monreale less than 45 min. Beautiful monestary gardens and cathedral
Etna 4h drive but it was worth it! Also the road true the inlands was gorgeous.
Palermo, nice city within only one hour drive
Several beaches also at castellamare del Golfo (nice town) ...
Alcamo 15 min. Surprisingly nice with some good restaurants.
For all this we rented a car at the Palermo airport (30 min from the house). And this is a must have when you go to Villa Raffino.
Thanks for having us!
Best regards,
From the total family!

Bella Casa!
The apartment was very nice. Very clean, everything you need. Up on a hill where there is some nice wind in the evening to cool a little bit down. You have a nice walk through Balestrate to one of the two beaches, they are not so far away.
The Owners, family Ruffino, are very polite and helpful. When one of us had to much sun at the beach and felt very sick, we called them and the carried us home.
It was a nice stay and we were very happy.

Une villa très agréable et bien équipée
Un séjour parfait, dans une belle villa, très bien agencée et équipée. Les propriétaires sont charmants. Nous avons été bien accueillis et ils ont même joué le jeu de nous accompagner dans la surprise d’arrivée que nous faisions à un couple d’amis.
La maison est parfaite pour se détendre après une journée de découverte ou de plage. La ville de Balestrate est accessible rapidement même si la maison est en retrait sur les hauteurs. Nous y reviendrons car la piscine est prévue....Merci.
