The villa had everything we needed, the bedrooms were ideal for large groups with en suite, tv and fridge in every room. Lots of outdoor space which accommodated 13 ppl with ease. The pool was the highlight for all the children (and adults) and the ability to pick fresh fruit from the trees every morning was such a treat. We booked Marco the chef and his partner for an exquisite dinner, wld highly recommend. Benedetto was a great host, promptly responded to any message or request and was very friendly. Word of warning the mosquitos can be fierce, especially on an our pale skin so be prepared, the darker skinned in the party weren’t so bothered. The sun shone every day apart from 1 day and the Vila was perfectly positioned for the beach just a 2 min cycle away and restaurants and train station to take us to nearby Cefalu and Palermo. We all had a really lovely holiday and will look back on it with very fond memories. Thank you Benedetto ##### Susan C. Stayed 14 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan D.

May 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A very lovely place for the family Benedetto was an excellent host. We were there while it was very rainy and not having an inside sitting area was a bit of a problem. However the warm outdoor pool was a life saver on cold cloudy days. Easy walk to the beach, the train station and the supermarket.We managed with out a car and did trips to palermo and cefalu. Excellent Sicilian dinner cooked by chef Marco. Extensive outdoor space was a real advantage for us with small kids in our group who loved the swings. Easy walk to two restaurants and the lido on the beach. Picked fresh mulberries, loquats and oranges from the garden. If the weather had been better it would have been perfect but was a bit hard to manage the space in very rainy weather. To be fair we were there during the floods in Italy so everywhere was struggling. ##### Amanda H. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Paula S. Jul 31, 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for large group All bedrooms had en suite bathrooms , large pool and outdoor places to eat Would give a 5 star but the shower doors in the bathrooms should be replaced. The bi folding doors are dirty and make the showers very small. Our shower did not drain well so we stood in water when taking a shower. 2. WiFi is not strong enough. Need repeaters in each room. Only works in the kitchen and not very well. I think if these 2 items were addressed, it would be a 5 star place ##### Paula S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gillian L. Aug 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great time! We had a great time at the villa . It was all as advertised and all bedrooms had en suite which was great for a large group (12 of us ) We did have a car which was useful for shopping and trips further afield but we also walked to the station for trips to Cefalu and Palermo (amazing food in Palermo!) The trains were on time and very clean and comfortable but there aren’t many of them so you do need to plan your trip well with the timetable . One in our party went horse riding which was a great trip out . We also walked to the local beach (10 mins) which was much quieter than Cefalu. We all had fun in the pool which was lovely to cool down in . The kitchen was very well equipped with absolutely everything you would need . Benedetto replied quickly to messages from the beginning and was always helpful and respectful. All in all we had a really great time and would thoroughly recommend this villa to anyone who would like to visit this lovely area of Sicily. ##### Gillian L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michele A. Jul 23, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Trip in June2019 We were very pleased with this property. The villa was huge, 6 bedrooms and a bathroom in each room. The actual house has 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a kitchen. There is also a separate house, by the pool with a bedroom and bathroom. This was a plus for us as my brother stayed in the pool house and enjoyed his privacy away from all the chaos of our children. During the summer, if all the bedrooms are used there is no living room in the actual house. Rather the living room is outside. At first we were concerned about this as we had 4 children who wanted a space of their own, but we quickly learned that we spent most of our time outside since the weather was so beautiful. The kitchen was large with a large table. Outside there were 2 additional seating areas and a outdoor living room space. WE enjoyed the beautiful pool, with lounge chairs and as large umbrella. The kids enjoyed the backyard with swing set and large lawn to play soccer. The house has a washer machine and clothes lines for drying items. The beach was a 3 minute drive or a 10 minute easy walk. The beach had plenty of free parking. The beach is sandy, while there are rocks closer to the water so water shoes are recommended. The water was warm and calm and the children could play in the water for several feet before it became deep. The beach was never crowded. The home did come equipped with beach towels, umbrellas, sand toys and pool toys. The home also came with sheets and bath towels. Each room has air conditioning as well. The owner was friendly and helped us if problems arised. The home had a large outdoor table that seated over 20 people. We were able to have family over and enjoy dinners together. We were a family of 11, which included 4 children ages 5 to 11. The home accommodated all of us comfortably . Lascari is about a 15 minute easy drive to Cefalu, which we frequented often. We never took the train, it did not seem to be running often while we were there. There were several restaurants we visited and a large grocery store 5 minutes away. The food was delicious. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to large groups. ##### Michele A. Stayed 11 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Thomas J.

Lugn och fin strand, två restauranger och väldigt lugnt område, enkelt att åka tåg till Cefalu och/eller Palermo. ##### Thomas J. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hanne K.

Poolen var varm og stor. Alt var til et 5 stjernet ophold, kan klart anbefales, af alle 10 i vores familie. ##### Hanne K. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefan A.

Nice - must have a car to get to Cefalu We rented this place with my friends - we all really enjoyed hanging out by the pool, bbq‘s and all slept well. You need a car to get to Cefalu, otherwise by bike distance it‘s quite dangerous. The bikes provided from the owner are not fully functionnal. Everything worked fine appart from the dishwasher and we had no Access to any cleaning products in the house so we had to purchase everything. ##### Gabrielle L.

We used 6 bedrooms (including the pool house) in August which provide lots of space for our group of 12, each bedroom having an en suite is excellent. Pool area recently refurbished with lots of sun loungers and an umbrella for shade (need as so hot !). Lots of outside space to relax in, the large outside eating area by the bbq was fantastic with a big dining table for evening meals, lots of seating outside the kitchen with another table and sofa and chairs. Villa is well located and only a 10 minute walk to the beach which has a nice beach bar, a number of bikes were also available to use if you wanted to go a bit further afield. Benedetto was very friendly and helpful host and ensured that some problems with the air conditioning were fixed as soon as possible, also arranged for Chef Marco to come in and cook for us one evening. Pizza restaurant was 5 minutes walk away, friendly place with good value food. Would happily visit Villa Giardino Paradiso again. ##### Martin C. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2020
