The most fabulous villa
This villa was an incredible place to stay, every room was beautifully decorated and with lots of though for the guests. Probably the best equipped kitchen I have ever had from a holiday rental, and I love to cook , so it was perfect.however, the pool area and amazing grounds are really what makes this an amazing holiday home. The pool is huge, with our door seating and sun beds, and fab outdoors BBQ and pizza oven. You swim surrounded by beautifully planted gardens. I would book this villa again as I absolutely loved it and perfect for multiple families as there is so much space. Finally, the host was incredible. We had a disaster at the original villa we had booked and she could not have been more helpful or accommodating. She really went out of her way to ensure our stay was perfect.

Wonderful villa
Villa Livia is beautiful and spacious We were a group of 21 + a baby. We had everything you need - sun loungers, pool towels, equipped kitchen, pizza oven, air-con and so much more. A couple of restaurants walking distance from the villa but we didn't go to them so can't comment on what they were like. There's a couple of supermarkets within 5-10min drive which have everything that you need. We hired one car for the villa, which was definitely needed for shopping trips. If we had days out of the villa, Livia arranged a bus - approx. cost to and from beach was €300. The bus drivers were so friendly and accommodating. We went to the beach at 'Selinute' and it was fantastic - sun loungers to rent and the restaurant was delicious Winery tour at Planeta Ulmo. Really worth a visit, interesting, great wine and food to accompany the tasting. Nonna - we had Nonna for 3 nights out of the 7. I highly recommend doing this, particularly if you're a large group. Nonna and her delightful team, set the table, cooked a four course meal and cleaned up afterwards. The food was delicious, her tiramisu was the best I have ever tasted. Approx cost each night was €700 Livia and Irene - they are the highlight of renting the villa, I can not praise their service and help enough. Livia answered all my questions within minutes of me sending her a message, she arranged our beach day, many different transport needs, winery and Nonna - nothing was a problem or inconvenience.

Absolutely Amazing Experience in Partanna
As other reviewers have mentioned the pictures of the property do not capture the true beauty of Livia’s home. Absolutely gorgeous 18th century property. Updated elegance at its finest, with high end appliances (kitchen is full of anything you’d we’d), with attention to even the smallest detail (e.g. pool floatees, ping pong table with paddles and balls, etc.). Property is very well maintained, and there’s an on call property manager who helped us multiple times throughout our stay. Highly recommend Livia’s home.

Wonderful accommodation
14 adults and 3 children stayed here for our family holiday. The layout was great. The main house has 6-7 double bedrooms over 3 floors then there are 2 detached bungalows. Each bungalow has 2 bedrooms. One with a double & a single, the other with a double and a twin. Each also has a sitting room & kitchen. There is a detached building by the pool with a ping pong table and shower room, there is another detached building with an indoor square shaped jacuzzi/spa plus a steam room & sauna. You have to pay extra for the steam room and sauna to be switched on, this was the only negative surprise. The facilities are fantastic, a large outdoor bbq and sink by the pool, an outdoor hot tub, plenty of space to spread out. We hired a chef one evening and 3 fabulous local ladies cooked us a traditional 3 course Sicilian meal which was delicious! They did everything-laid table, served, washed up. It was about 280 euros plus the food shopping bill, so divided by all of us it was cost effective. The town of Partanna was not the prettiest & not aimed at tourists but at night it was more lively with locals. The nearest beaches are 30 mins away. Livia was very good at responding by texts. A gardener came discreetly every morning. It’s a superb place for a family get together. My only issue was I wished that we’d been in an area further north by the coast-the town of Castellammare del Golfo/Scopello with more quaint towns and coves. We hired a boat there, no licence required! Thank you 😊

Perfect!
The villa was so much more than expected. Beautifully decorated and furnished. More than ample room for our group of 12, with plenty of hideaway spaces when we wanted to be alone. The grounds were beautifully landscaped along with statuary and beautiful fountains throughout. The kitchen was complete with everything that was needed. Our hostess even suggested dinner by Nona Marie and she came and cooked for us...the best Sicilian dinner of all the wonderful food we had tasted. The pool was fantastic and along with the hot tub we were happy just being there. Our only regret is that we had to leave. We would definitely recommend this location.

Trip of a Lifetime
My family of 16 (ages 6 to 73) stayed here in the summer hosted by Livia. Everything about the experience exceeded our expectations. The villa itself, the hospitality, Nonna Maria serving traditional Sicilian food in the garden. We traveled extensively throughout the western side of Sicily. Every direction is an adventure. Our group will most definitely hope to return. I’m grateful for such a lovely experience.

Amazing property - had a fantastic stay
8 friends rented Villa Livia to celebrate birthdays. Livia couldn’t have been more helpful before & during our stay. The pictures do not do this villa justice, it is just stunning. We arrived early due to our flights and the staff were really welcoming getting us some food and wine. Irene especially was amazing by kindly taking us to the supermarket to stock up. We cooked a couple of times during the week and there is substantial cooking facilities & crockery. Livia suggested a vineyard tour at Planeta Ulmo which was brilliant, we had the tasting with the lunch - highly recommend. Livia also arranged someone to pick us up from the airport and also take us on our various trips around the island. He was reasonably priced and super helpful. The property was huge as well as the grounds. The pool is stunning and plenty of sun beds, towels are provided. It was amazing to see the swifts swoop down to the pool to take a drink frequently throughout the day. The beds are really comfy & we all slept really well. I’d highly recommend Villa Livia for a large party of travellers!

An absolutely beautiful villa with an amazing host !!
We book villa Livia for a large party of 18 for a special birthday celebration. Our age range was from 70 to 7 and worked very well as it incorporated different family groups. Livia was amazing, very patient, very helpful with booking local restaurants and she also organised a local masseur to visit, which was a real plus. The whole villa is beautiful, and as other guests have said the pictures do not do it justice. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was a little smaller than I thought but fully equipped even for our large group. The gardens were beautiful with lots to explore and the hidden jacuzzi area was lovely to have a little quiet time. The younger members loved the pool and having WiFi is always a bonus with teenagers. Partanna is not a tourist destination but there are a few lovely churches and a museum to visit if you feel you need to leave this beautiful Villa. Amazing Livia and thank you.

Stunning villa, wonderful hospitality
The villa is absolutely stunning. I know a few other people have said that the photos don't really do it justice - but they don't. Although it's not that far out of the town of Partanna (about a 10 minute walk, a little further to the centre), the gardens are huge and it feels completely secluded and private. Every time we walked around the gardens, we found something new - herb gardens, fountains, statues, orchards, a spa (!) - it is absolutely gorgeous and beautifully maintained. We stayed as a big family group - oldest mid sixties, youngest five months old and there were 16 of us. The layout of the house is wonderfully flexible. There are six double bedrooms in the main house, all beautiful - those on the upper floors have stunning views. There are also two dependences, which are ideal if you want a bit of separation from the house (perfect for us with a young baby so they weren't disturbed by the later dinners in the main house, but close enough that the baby monitor reached the outdoor dining and pool areas easily). The pool is beautiful. Large, a great temperature and a wonderful central outdoor space for everyone to congregate around. Livia, our hostess, could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and it was a real pleasure communicating with her. We had four amazing meals cooked for us by 'Nonna Maria' on four separate nights - a really lovely way to eat traditional Sicilian food without having to leave the villa (so no babysitting!) and really good value too. We drove out to various places whilst there (a car is a real advantage - probably even a necessity to be honest) - including the ruins at Selinunte (impressive), the beaches at Marinella (lovely sand, clear water, about 25 mins) and Guidaloca (north, in Lo Zingero nature reserve, pebbles, bit more crowded, lovely water, about an hour). We also drove to Corleone (about an hour and 10 mins - VERY windy and potholed roads!) and visited the anti-Mafia museum. Whilst this was interesting, don't expect to find much else in Corleone (and the filming for all the Godfather films didn't take place there!). Just somewhere to say you've been... Overall, this was an amazing break - the villa will blow you away. It's just stunning. I doubt we'll ever stay anywhere like this ever again (until we come back...). Thank you Livia, Nonna Maria, Roberta and Irene for the most wonderful memories...

Mediterranean lifestyle
We enjoyed a very relaxing Easter vacation gathering our families from Switzerland, Germany and France. Annex (there are two of them) was very convenient for the grandparents to rest during the afternoon and evenings while the teens and pre-teens enjoyed the pool area. The main villa is incredible - we would rather call it a "manoir" in French with plenty of rooms, richly decorated, with from amazing panoramic views around dozens of kilometers of the Western Sicily rural landscapes (up to the Egadi island mountains, which are perfectly visible on clear days). It makes you feel out of time and space, while providing all modern conveniences. Special mention for the kitchen fully equipped and very convenient to use with 2 large fridges. We also ordered a sicilian dinner/BBQ and that was fantastic! Livia was amazingly responsive and helpful, just as her whole staff. We visited the impressive temples of Segeste, Selinunte, as well as the cathedral of Monreale (definitely worth the extra drive) and Erice - driving is easy in this part of Sicily, no traffic except for a few tractors... We were also lucky to use the indoor spa that was just built in addition to the outdoor jaccuzzi and the heated pool - on windy April days it was just great relaxing in the water inside while looking over the blue sky and the orange, citrus and olive trees. Fantastic garden (that was the reason of my choice for this villa just based on the photos, and it's even larger than what you can imagine out of the internet views).

Amazing Magical Property
5 stars aren't nearly enough for this amazing place. It was everything we could have imagined and more. The Villa is tremendous, everything you would think when you hope to stay in an Italian villa, we felt like royalty in this magical Italian home. Livia was an amazingly gracious host who made sure we were well taken care of. And the best absolute best add on we could possibly have hoped for, she helped us find our own Sicilian Nonna, Maria who came and cooked for us for 3 nights. The food was amazing and my whole family agreed of the two weeks we spent touring around Italy including several Micehlin star resaurants, the 4 days we spent in Partanna was the best food by far and we would all like to bring Nonna Maria home with us. I have dreams of her eggplant dishes and my daughter won't stop talking about the lasagna. Everything at the property was lovely, the hot tub and pool were both fantastic and heated to a perfect temp even in November! . The beds were super comfortable. The views are awe inspring, and the gardens on the property are so beautiful. We were blessed to be able to spend time in this villa. We would highly reccomend and will definitely be back! Thank you Livia! Thank you Sicily!

Spectacular property in Western Sicily
There is a magic in the pure air and fertile fields of Western Sicily. Here, the ancient Mediterranean landscape - where wild varieties of thyme, fennel and asparagus are found among the modern tillage - now yields sophisticated oils, wines and citrus. Everywhere, the ruins of the ancients. We came to out-of-the-way Partanna, and Villa Livia, to be immersed in this uniquely-Sicilian experience. From the moment the entry gate swung open, the Villa Livia exceeded our expectations. The living accommodations were beautifully-appointed and nicely-arranged. From its high perch at the top of town, the villa affords expansive views of the Belice Valley, past Castelvetrano, to the sea. Magnificent sunrises and sunsets are the norm. Need additional privacy? The villa’s cottage awaits, a short stroll through the gardens. Sicily is all about the food. We hired a local cook and the experience was superb (ask the villa proprietor, who can arrange). The villa offers three dining areas: the breezy entry portico, the large sunroom, and the formal dining room. Cooking for yourself? You’ll find the kitchen modest in size but well-equipped and thoughtfully-designed. The villa offers two lovely living rooms and appointments throughout the residence are well-considered and typical of the region and its history. However, we used every opportunity to enjoy the amazing outdoor spaces. The pool area deserves special mention. It’s especially lovely at sunset. We were very impressed with the villa’s proprietor who was attentive and communicated quickly as the need arose, both before and throughout our visit. Top marks here. NOTES: While Partanna is ideally-located to explore Western Sicily (Selinunte, Marsala, Trapani/Erice, and Segesta are within an hour), Partanna itself is not a tourist town. Markets and good restaurants are a walkable distance, but you’ll need an automobile to access your destinations. Sicily is enjoying a wine renaissance! A tour/tasting at one of the up-and-coming small vintners is a must. The wineries at Gorghi Tondi and Planeta are standouts. Olives, similarly. Western Sicily hosts a number of artisanal oil producers. We loved our tour of the world-class Azienda Agricola Ravida. Other options are within 45 minutes. In sum, we could not have asked for a better experience than was afforded by Villa Livia. We found this an exceptional property, and recommend it heartily for any larger group (we were eleven).

Amazing host and fantastic pool
We had a fantastic holiday at Villa Livia. There were 17 of us in total - mix of children and adults. Livia, the villa owner was amazing. She welcomed us for our arrival and was so hospitable. She was very supportive throughout our stay and helped with booking restaurants and boat trips. A bonus of this property was the fact that we could book a cook/chef, which when catering for such a large number, was a great help. The cook would arrive with necessary food for the meal that he had bought, they would lay the table, do all the preparation, then cook, serve dinner and clear up after they had finished. The price was very reasonable for this service. This made the holiday far more relaxing and enjoyable. We also experienced a selection of Sicilian dishes. The pool was a delight - well maintained and warm set in beautiful grounds. The villa easily accommodated our group size. It was clean and well kept. We arranged with Livia, to have a daily clean of the kitchen and beds made too. This again made our stay more relaxing. The area that the villa is set in, is a small village. There are a few restaurants to choose from which are all walkable, but the options are limited. The villa is in a quiet location, but for this reason, it is a drive to get anywhere. A car is a necessity. A good beach was at least a 30-40 minute drive. We highly recommend the villa, but would suggest that prospective visitors do some research on the local area, to ensure it meets your requirements. Livia was accessible at all times and responded promptly to all queries and questions that we had. She was always happy to help and offered solutions quickly to any issues.

Fantastic stay in beautiful house
This house is stunning in many ways. The interior, pool area and garden are keeping very high standard. We were a group of four families in total 17 people and it was spacious enough for all of us. Although it was very hot during our stay and the pool turned into a hot tub and AC would have been desirable in the bedrooms in first floor in the main building. Overall a marvellous villa which I highly recommend for other parties to visit.

As stunning in reality as it is in the pictures
We were a family of 10 ranging from 70 year old grandparents to 12 year old grandchildren. Everyone was just blown away by this place - we've holidayed together regularly over the last 15 years and by some distance this is the best villa we have stayed in. Alongside the quality of the building and its contents,the owner couldn't have been more helpful sorting out the few issues which cropped up speedily and efficiently. The local town of Partanna doesn't have a lot going for it (and the local dogs made a late night walk back from town an interesting experience!) but Selinutte is interesting with a great beach and Porto Palo, Marsalla and Trapani all make good days out. But mainly we just enjoyed hanging out around the pool and relaxing over long dinners. Lavia, many thanks from everyone in the party.
