Florence and 7 members of her family (France) - Villa Anna, October 2009
We spent a very enjoyable holiday at Villa Anna - the house is situated in a calm part of the resort close to the sea. The garden is great, and the Villa is a functional home and suitable for large families. We really appreciated the hospitality of the owner Mario - he does everything to help you make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Our flight arrived late and in the evening and it was a wonderful surprise to be met by Mario and his beaming smile! We feel our break was too short and hope to come back in summer time in the next couple of years. Excellent value for money. Best regards, see you soon ! Florence"

Graham & Teresa (UK) - Villa Anna, September 2009
Both Teresa and I had a wonderful time and it provided the perfect antedote to the current stressful economic conditions. We both found the villa to be enchanting and we enjoyed being a part of the local community rather than being in a commercial resort. Your father was the perfect host and ensured that we were well looked after during our stay. Based on our experience, we would definitely return to chill out and savour the relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Regards, Teresa & Graham."

Ade, Andrew and their 2 families (UK) - Villa Anna, July 2009
"When we arrived late at night it was hot; but the flowers I had arranged with you were there and waiting to surprise my wife for her birthday! After exploring the area on foot the next day we had a refreshing swim in the Med. We went up mount Erice by car and saw the lovely panoramic views of Sicily from several hundred feet high and then again as we descended by cable car. The land was well cultivated with water melons, fruit, veg, vineyards and olive trees everywhere. This is the real meaning of "organic" - not some silly label on the tomatoes you buy from Tesco! Our favourite fruit-sellers were a friendly man and his wife with farmland and kiosk by the main road to the airport. Our landlord, driver and tour-guide Mario was very easy-going, helpful and spoke good English. The Sicilian people are uncomplicated, friendly and helpful. Even though we didn't speak the language, we managed. With the help of neighbours we bought fish, giant prawns and vegetables from the mobile shops that visited the villa some mornings. The siesta between 1-4pm worked in our favour as the beaches were almost empty for us as temperatures reached 30°+. Our kids had a wonderful time playing football with the local boys and girls and riding on their bikes, even late at night. We had a lovely time and the experience will remain with us forever. I especially enjoyed swimming in the Mediterranean. Once again, thanks for making your villa available to us at such an affordable price, and for helping us make memories for our children. God bless you and Gesu ti ama!, Ade."

Michael, partner and 3 children (Ireland) - Villa Anna, July 2009
"Hi, just a quick note to let you know that we had a wonderful holiday in villa Anna and in Sicily in general. It ticked all the boxes for us and your Dad's a perfect gentleman - nothing was too much trouble for him. Please give him our regards and thanks when you talk next. We're not quite settled down yet (kids going here and there) but i will take time to fill in the feedback form asap. Thanks again. Regards Michael"

Sergei, Elina and 4 friends (Malta) - Villa Anna, June 2009
While thanking you and your father once again for the fantastic time we spent in Sicily and Villa Anna I hereby send you a photo for your father. We send him our warmest greetings! Best regards, Sergei & Elina.

Anastasia and 5 friends (Malta) - Villa Anna, June 2009
"On behalf of my family and friends I would like to thank you for the nice holidays spent in your premises. It was good value for money, and I will do my best to promote the accommodation further. Special thanks to your father being helpful with any matter, we really felt at home. Thanks and kind regards, Anastasia."

Dougal & Isabelle (UK) - Villa Anna, April 2009
"On our first visit to Sicily back in 1977, the attractions were outweighed by the petty mafia; but on this second trip we saw just the good and we'll be back soon. With maps from your website it was easy to find the villa, and the maps and guidebooks in the house made it easy to plan trips by car. Our favourite was Lo Zingaro Nature Reserve, 2 days out of 7! Local towns and the ancient Segesta and Selinunte were great to walk in (driving !!). Marausa has a friendly bakers and grocers (he told me the tomatoes were even better in August). Next time we'll try the bike shop to hire some as the villas are closer to the village by the dirt track than the main road. The station is not much further, so the train could take the strain. The villas were homely, though we don't have crazy golf at home, so were not as practiced as your father. Many thanks, Dougal"

Richard & Sylvette (UK) - Villa Anna, February 2009
Our 6 days in villa Anna were excellent. You picked us up from the airport and took us on day trips or short visits when we asked - a huge saving on hiring a car ourselves. The villa was clean and simple, the sun roof a treat (early Feb while temperatures were below zero in England!) and the garden very pleasant. We have already recommended the villa to our friends in Reading. Best Wishes, Richard & Sylvette"

Amber & Kitt (UK) - Villa Anna, July 2008
"Amber and I had a wonderful holiday. In fact the best overseas holiday I can remember! We found the villa to be very comfortable and homely. Whilst we were there your father showed us around and explained all of the controls. Although I have been thinking about it, I can't think of any way our stay could have been improved. We will be in touch to sort out a longer stay hopefully next year. Many thanks, Kitt"

Anthony, partner and 2 friends (UK) - Villa Anna, June & July 2008
"Following our return from Sicily just a quick note to you to say that we all thoroughly enjoyed our time both in sicily and Villa Anna. We had a great holiday and just wanted to say thank you to both you and your father who helped us out no end with guidance (and assistance when the water ran out!). I am sure we will be back again in the future. I would be grateful if you would pass our thanks onto your father, it was a pleasure to meet him! Kind regards, Anthony"

James, Karina, friend and 3 children (UK) - Villa Anna, April 2008
"We had a great time and the weather was as good as we could have hoped for so early in the season. We even managed to go in the sea a couple of times! We found plenty of other things to do on the not so bright days and even the kids didn't complain at having to look at old ruins (no I don't mean us grown ups!!!) Anyway, thanks for having us and here's a photo for your visitors book! Regards, Karina"

Ruth, partner, daughter & friend (UK) - Villa Anna, July 2006
"The weather was beautiful and the villa was a fab base for getting around and visiting the island. We spent many happy hours in the garden and loved the friendly welcome and hospitality shown by your Dad. A good time was had by all. Regards, Ruth"
