"Villa Panarea Sicily & Village Malu"

Villa Panarea Sicily...
Wow! Wonderful 10 days in Sicily made extra special by the incredible Villa Panarea. It's a 5 star Villa and a 5 star service both by Marco from Village Malu villa agency and the owners Marcello (and family) who went the extra mile to make our stay even better (see pics of treats from local bakery they brought us). They recommended restaurants, shops, experiences and beaches. All in all a great family holiday. Would highly recommend. Note - you do need a car and you will need to do some driving to make the most of your holiday. Things to do... Wine tasting, trip to Taormina (cooking course chef Massimo) and great night out at local vineyard Antica Vindari.

"Villa with a pool and a view"

The time in Village Malu was everything we wanted out of this trip - and it was perfect Italy-living. The pool is great and big, but the star of the show is the view! Sat there for hours to take it all in.

The villa is spacious with lots of room, but we spent most of our time outside anyway.

There are also a few Italian activities in the cute town as well, which is great for the kids.

Booking is easy and the host is quick to respond and a great help.

If we return to Italy or Sicily, we will definitely return to Village Malu!

"It was so peaceful surrounding"

It was so peaceful surrounding, amazing views on the top of the village can see the whole landscape from the villa pool side. The host is very welcoming us. We have also experienced some local restaurants, authentic hand made pasta… we were 6 of us, had great time discovered around and enjoyed the surrounding.

"A wonderful experience!"

I was massively amazed of the view from the villa. The stunning sunset ocean views, overlooking the Aeolian islands is certainly worth the trip for a gateway from a busy city. The villa is well looked after, with a clean pool, clean beds and with all the necessary amenities available. I enjoyed experiencing the local town of Castroreale and the sights around it. I loved the traditional Sicilian architecture of the town. The villa is also surrounded by the famous olive tree with them growing around the hillside. I definitely recommend visiting this part of Sicily at this villa and Marco that looks after villa is incredibly helpful with any queries that I had.

"We had such a wonderful week."

We had such a wonderful week at Villa Malu. We are a family of four, with two teenagers and after exploring Catania, Taromina and Etna, the beautiful town of Castoreale and Villa Malu, was just what we needed to relax. The view from the Villa, especially at sunset, is beautiful. No pictures can do it justice. The pool was lovely, the space and facilities of the villa were great and to a high standard, and I cannot praise the villa owner and his family enough for their recommendations and responsiveness during our stay. We so enjoyed meeting them and learning more about the region. During our week, we enjoyed evening meals in Castoreale and a wonderful morning with a local miller, Giuseppe, making pasta from ancient Sicilian grains, tasting the fruit from his orchard, and then eating a lovely lunch with our pasta. Sicily is beautiful. If you would like to experience an authentic Sicilian town, and support local business, I would recommend a stay here.
