"Room is spacious, fresh air as it is next to orchard, the owner is very kind, definitely recommended."

"We had a wonderful stay and truly can’t recommend this cottage enough. AnnaMaria was a pleasure to work with - she was incredibly responsive, helpful, and genuinely warm and kind throughout our stay.The cottage itself is rustic in the best possible way - simple, comfortable, and full of character. It has two rooms plus a bathroom: a bedroom with a stunning view, and a main living space that includes a well-stocked kitchen, a small table perfect for eating or working, and a daybed that functions as a couch for watching TV.The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed is on the firmer side, which will be perfect for many guests. We prefer a softer mattress and found an easy solution by using the very thick mattress pads from the daybed in the kitchen - this completely transformed the bed and made it extremely comfortable. With this option, the bed truly works for everyone.The patio is absolutely spectacular and would feel like an additional living space in warmer weather. We stayed for a full week and loved every minute of it. The WiFi worked well for everyday use; for Zoom calls it was a bit spotty at times but still doable.The location of this cottage is unbeatable - overlooking the property’s vineyard with sweeping views of farmland, Trapani, and the Mediterranean Sea. It is peaceful, private, and completely free of nearby neighbors. Staying here truly felt like an adventure and a retreat all at once.If you’re looking for a place…"

"Nice room, very nice town. The location of the hotel is very good. Hosts were very nice and informative "

"Wonderful"

"Beautiful resort. Food was great, breakfast buffet options were lovely. Everyone helpful and friendly. Superb view and wonderful location. Steer clear of the spa; not worth it at all. Don’t worry about the sensory massage…and the spa wellness route is totally underrated. Enjoy the pool, pool bar and beaches. Recommend to hire a car. Loved out stay: thank you "

"We only stayed here for 1 night but it was wonderful. Staff was very courteous and helpful and we managed to communicate well despite not speaking the same language. "

"This is the most AMAZING property!!! We have been traveling all over Sicily for a month, and this was bar far our FAVORITE Villa. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The location is private, but still close to the activities ( boat excursion in Trapani and village/castle in Erice). This Villa is the quintessential Sicilian home. We will definitely be back!!"

"Our stay at Villa Fontana was superb in every way: Francesca welcomed us warmly and was extraordinarily responsive throughout our stay, whether to make recommendations or suggestions about the area (restaurants, activities, shopping), or to answer questions about the Villa. All of our interactions with her and staff were fantastic. We were so glad to find that they maintain a small "store" on the premises: wine, olive oil (their own), and other consumables were well-stocked and readily available. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals we prepared on the premises, and found multiple options for grocery shopping just minutes away. Beds were comfortable, and the environs were peaceful and quiet. The pool is lovely and very well maintained, as are the garden and grounds of the property, all of which are extraordinary, with olive trees as far as the eye can see along with extensive plantings and fruit trees – really special! We felt safe and secure in and around the villa throughout our stay. We're still talking among ourselves about our stay and how comfortable it was in every way – we hope we're able to come back with family and friends to this perfect base for exploring Western Sicily. Thank you Francesca!"
