Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Balestrate

We thoroughly enjoyed Umberto’s country home. We appreciated his warm welcome as well as the time he took to detail the history of his family’s traditional Sicilian farmstead. We found the home and its surrounding gardens much larger than we expected, clean and well-maintained, and properly furnished. It’s location, just a 10-minute drive downhill to historic Trapani and just a 10-minuute drive uphill to spectacular Erice, was perfect for us. Guests who are unfamiliar with negotiating the narrow mountainous roads that crisscross this part of Sicily – and which lead to and from Umberto’s AirBnB – should find the roads well-maintained and generally well-signed. Google Maps worked extremely well for us. Also, our tiny Fiat-500 rental car had no issues negotiating the region's steep and narrow roads!

Marina has set the bar unattainably high for any other AirBnb host! Not only was the house absolutely beautiful, it was clean, organized, perfectly located, and had every amenity you could think of (plus more that you didn't remember!). On top of that, Marina is a gem of a person. I've never been to the same AirBnb twice because we like going to new places, but I really hope to make coming back here an annual tradition! My children will remember Palermo forever. Thank you so much, Marina <3

Manfredi‘s place is a beautiful little getaway spot from more bustling parts of Sicily. If you‘re looking for a very peaceful and quite place where it’s just you and your partner/friend - look no further. Manfredi is also super responsive and kind. Grazie mille

Magnificent. Awesome. Amazing... How else can we describe the most beautiful pool garden we've ever encountered in many, many Airbnb accommodations? You'll love the views, sounds and smells of nature all around the house. Great showers, good beds, nice surroundings, very friendly welcome, easy communication, handy tips and good base for day trips to Palermo and Mondello Beach or Cefalù. If you're reading this review, know that you have just found the ultimate spot in North West Sicily, so don't hesitate to book it. You will not regret it. You'll get a fun, short, bumpy ride from the gate to the house to reach this wonderful house. We wanted to stay forever.

This was by far one of my favorite places i have stayed! The home itself was so much better than the photos but even more was the unbelievable hospitality that we experienced from Maria Francesca and Gaetano. BRAVO to these hosts!! Even though we arrived late they met us and welcomed us in, explaining everything. They came to say goodbye also and were only message away for whatever need we had. If you are ever in Palermo this place is a MUST!! THANK YOU

Andrea was a wonderful host with very flexible check-in/out times. We received plenty of recommendations of activities in the area and the best restaurants to eat. It's a cozy, spacious airbnb with a large garden/orchard and terraces all around to enjoy the sultry evenings and every appliance one could need. We'll definitely be coming back, ciao!

This villa was exactly how we had envisioned. We fell in love with everything! The view, beach, terrasse and Scopello (little town 20 min. walk) was a great surprise. End June we found a soft partyvibe in Scopello with winetasting from the area and a band. Amazing restaurants and few tourists. We will be back Nathalie😍

Alessandro was a super good host! Always answering all our questions quickly and making sure everything was good. Gave good tips as well and was always available during the stay. Super friendly and helpful. The house had an amazing outside area, where we enjoyed the outdoor kitchen with dinners and the pool etc. Trapetto as a town is quite dead but many very beautiful places to visit around and things to do and see. I definitely recommend this villa, the sunset view was also amazing.

Everything was great, Sergio was very helpful and friendly. We felt at home

A beautiful little apartment in a perfect location. Perfect for us!

My wife and I had a fantastic stay at Nicoletta's Airbnb. The apartment was comfortable and well-maintained, and the location was ideal for exploring the area, with easy access to the beach, restaurants, and transport to Palermo. The rooftop terrace and sea views were a definite highlight, providing a relaxing atmosphere after days of sightseeing. The space was bigger than it looked in the photos and there was a community feel in the common areas. Nicoletta and her team were incredibly helpful throughout our stay. When we had a mix-up with our transportation, they were very understanding and went out of their way to ensure we were taken care of and that everything was resolved. This level of support made a big difference and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation without any added stress. We highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a great stay with excellent hosts.

Such a cute and quiet place to get away from the city just what we needed! Tania was so nice and we were able to hang out in the garden, pick the fig trees, have eggs from her chickens! Just incredible experience!

Ferdinando's place is a niceapartment in the historic center of Palermo. The house has all the necessary services, communication with the co-host Giorgio was super, as was the kindness throughout the stay. We especially appreciated the recommendations. Recommended!

Flavia's place was perfect for our 7 day stay over Easter. Spotlessly clean and had everything that we needed for a wonderful stay. comfy beds. great shower and just enough supply's for a little bit of cooking. so central to everything in Palermo that we had no trouble getting around. Palermo parties over Easter late into the night so earplugs were needed but that is because we went to bed earlier than others 😅 would definitely book this apartment again

We stayed at Mole’s beautiful apartment for a couple of days as a group of 4 friends and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautifully furnished home that felt like time travel. The apartment was well located to walk to the main attractions of Palermo and very closely located to the harbour. We were all working from abroad for a couple of days and the apartment offered enough space for all of us to do. If you are arriving by car, we highly recommend following the instructions by Mole as the street of Palermo are very tight to navigate. We highly recommend staying with Mole if you would like to have a city escape experiencing the buzzing life of Palermo.

Five stars are hardly enough! Our stay at Rosario’s place was absolutely wonderful – not just because of the lovely and well-kept accommodation, but especially thanks to Rosario himself. From the very beginning, communication was warm and easy, and upon arrival, Rosario welcomed us with genuine kindness and a wealth of helpful local tips. He showed us places we never would have discovered on our own! For example we ate the best Pizza in our lifes because of his recommendation. What truly stood out was how incredibly attentive and caring he was throughout our stay. We could reach out to him anytime with questions or needs, and he checked in with us every single day to make sure everything was going well. As a special and unexpected gesture, he even drove us to the train station on our departure day – something we deeply appreciated. Rosario is a host with a big heart, and we would return in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our stay special!

We had the most amazing 10 days at Rosellina’s beautiful home in Solanto. From the moment we arrived, Rosellina and her husband welcomed us with such warmth and generosity – they truly went out of their way to make us feel at home. While the immediate area isn’t the most eventful, we honestly didn’t need anything beyond the charm of the house itself and its spectacular view over the bay, the mountains, and the deep blue sea. Best of all was the private “beach” – a rocky cliffside where we could swim and snorkel straight from the water’s edge. The house is just a short drive from supermarkets and lovely small towns like Porticello, Santa Flavia, and Bagheria – and only about 40 minutes to Palermo. We’re already dreaming of coming back!

We spent a week in October in beautiful sunshine. We loved the personal family nature of this house. Beautiful stylish and creative decor. Idyllic location for privacy with the most gorgeous terrace. We swam off the rocks with snorkels to see some colourful fish. Nearby San Vito lo Cappo was great for food, sandy beach and shops. A perfect holiday!

We had a great time at Maria Elena's place! The house is very nice, the patio and garden are great, the beach can be reached on foot in a few minutes. We really enjoyed Maria Elena's warm welcome, she gave us a lot of tips on nearby activities, restaurants etc. A place to recommend!

We can fully agree with the 5-star reviews of our predecessors. Diane's Casa is simply a dream. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet Daniele in person, but he was always available and always committed to us. Definitely top recommendation.

We had an amazing time at Giacoma & Carlo’s villa. Everything was as the pictures in the listing and the view of both the mountains and the sea was perfect from the terrace. Giacoma & Carlo was super responsive whenever we had a question and helped make our stay perfect.

We had a super nice stay in Aldo's accommodation. We were 4 people (2 couples) there was enough space so that everyone could retreat in this accommodation. Aldo's dad lives right behind the accommodation and was very attentive and on site for all questions and concerns. We will definitely come back! Thank you

Great spot just a stone’s throw from the beach. The villa has everything you need for cooking. Everything worked out great.

Impeccable and beautiful accommodation in a quiet corner with great views of the mountains. Very well equipped with beautiful furniture and comfortable beds. Very attentive and responsive host.
