Family-friendly holiday rentals in Isola delle Femmine

Villa Claudia is place where you experience Sicilian hospitality and comfort at the highest level. From the very beginning, you feel at home – Marco and his mama are incredibly kind and helpful, and a very warm welcome with dishes of Sicilian specialties. Villa Claudia impresses with exceptional cleanliness, lovingly and stylishly furnished rooms. The spacious beds with firm mattresses, plenty of space, a fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, pool and outdoor grill provide everything you need for a relaxing stay. For trips to Palermo or the more distant sandy beaches, a car is recommended, but within walking distance you’ll find a rocky beach, a super well-equipped small supermarket (B+F), and “Ganci” – always open for very affordable snacks, cafe, gelato, or a spritz. Villa Claudia offers the best of both worlds: ideal for spending a few relaxing days there and as a perfect base to begin wonderful experiences in Palermo, at lively beaches, or in the hinterland.

Wow! From the moment we arrived Francesco and Cynthia made us feel welcome, at home and we left feeling like part of their family. The house is absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful, private section with everything we needed - including a lovely outdoor shower, table and chairs. The private pool was perfect for a dip after our day trip to Palermo. It’s just a few minutes walk to the beautiful Mondello beach, and lots of bars and restaurants. They responded to every request immediately - even driving to the supermarket to buy us bottles of water! Cynthia even wrote a plan for us when visiting Palermo - which we used and worked perfectly. We’ll remember this holiday forever because we got engaged on the trip. But also because we met such wonderful people and stayed in such a beautiful home - thank you Francesco and Cynthia! As promised, we will definitely be back one day ❤️

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.

Fantastic home base to explore the west side of Sicily. We had easy visits to Selinunte, Erice, Trapani, Marsala, San Vito Lo Capo and even Agrigento. Castellemmare del Golfo is close by and has a charming waterfront with restaurants and bars. If you stay at home, there is a beautiful, heated infinity pool with great views of the sea. The kitchen is well equipped to make dinners, there is a grill, a wonderful covered patio and a washer and dryer. The kitchen is brand new. Pietro was very responsive, friendly and helpful.

We stayed at Lampeduso for 3 nights and it definitely wasn’t long enough. It’s such a great Airbnb in a perfect location. Palermo is such an interesting city, with its mix of cultures and all its gritty charm. The palace was perfect. It rained for two of the days we were there, but because the villa was so fantastic, the weather didn’t affect us at all. The place is huge, with great amenities that made a big difference—washer and dryer for our soaked clothes, umbrellas ready to go, and plenty of space to enjoy a good card game. When the sun did come out, we spent early evenings on the patio next to the pool. Honestly, the villa alone makes us want to return to Palermo.

A beautiful villa set in a lovely, peaceful area very close to the beach. The outdoor area, pool and garden were perfect for relaxing after visiting other parts of Sicily during the day and the hilight of the villa for us. A good location for exploring the north western part of Sicily or relaxing at the beach and pool for the week. Rosanna and Fulvio were wonderful hosts, everything from arranging check in, welcoming us to the villa, showing how everything works and providing restaurant and places to visit recommendations was fantastic.

The whole apartment is amazing but the roof top in particular was out of this world! To have the outside space in the middle of the city is a real treat and Stefania’s place is an oasis of calm. It is just off the main thoroughfare so brilliantly located yet very peaceful. We were two couples and there was masses of space to be together and have some privacy when wanted. The kitchen has everything and more and I think belongs to a very good cook! Stefania arranged a taxi from the airport which made arrival smooth - especially as a flight change meant we arrived late and finding the apartment without Andrea’s help would have been much more difficult. We received lots of information in advance and were given tips and suggestions for places to visit and eat in Palermo. Everyone we encountered to do with the apartment was charming and could not have been more help including the friendly neighbour and delightful housekeeper. Thank you so much Stefania. Wish the dogs were included!!

Stunning location. On the front side, the (small) mount Bonifato and the sea; on the back, hilly Sicily as far as the eye can see. Very peaceful, one can enjoy some days of calm here. Hosts are very welcoming and cleanliness was much appreciated. One point to consider for car entusiasts: in case of a lowered/sport car, the last 200m of acces road could be a challenge.

a very beautiful and clean apartment, very close to restaurants and shops! would definitely recommend staying here!

Wish we could stay longer and hope we can come back! Spectacular outlook from this beautiful place. So much history! It was the perfect base and easy access by foot to any sights. Peaceful yet you felt in the thick of colourful Palermo also. Kind and friendly host. Just book!!!!

The location is fantastic to explore Palermo, everything is walking distance in the centre. The apartment is spacious and well decorated with all you could need for a stay. Palermo is a fascinating city with a great atmosphere. Antonella was very responsive around check in and helped us with recommendations

Loved the bright, airy, comfortable and well designed duplex flat with uber slow elevator to top floor! The street is very ‘rough’ pavement-wise and at a cross section with an abandoned building - off putting at first but Bianca’s place is truly a refuge from the grittier albeit fascinating side of Palermo. Everything you’d want to visit is within reach by foot. I am a solo traveler , 70 yrs old who would definitely stay here again.

Exceptional apartment, walking distance to all the sights and food. Very comfortable place with everything you would need. And yes the balcony view was fantastic, especially early morning and sunset. Antonio was a great host, reliable and communicated promptly. Palermo is a vibrant city and we loved it! Love to come back and stay again!

Roberta’s place was lovely and she was an accommodating, responsive, and delightful host! We loved being so close to the beach and a great local grocery store. Roberta was very helpful arranging travel to and from the apartment and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. I recommend this AirBnB!

Very cozy and nice apartment with a central location! It was within walking distance to restaurants, bars, and beaches. The neighborhood was quiet and pleasant, and we felt like part of the local community. The hosts were very friendly and helpful if we needed anything. Caterina’s daughter also picked us up at the train station when we arrived, which we really appreciated. We had a great stay here in Castellammare del Golfo and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommended!

Guido and Francesca are exceptional hosts. Francesca met me halfway with the times for both check-in and check-out and was always very responsive and ready to respond to my needs. The house is very clean and in a very quiet and cool area, even on the hottest days the terrace is ventilated and it is great. I will definitely be back.

Loved the place in Terissini. Was clean and as described. Dario was great and made us feel comfortable.

What a wonderful stay! Luisa - the person who welcomed us, opened the house, heard from us regularly and fixed small problems - is a pearl, charming and responsive. The house is as described, very pleasant to live in, perfect with a "parent" room on the ground floor and 2 bedrooms upstairs for children (which allows parents to have their bubble). Stunning pool, large and with a breathtaking view of the mountains. The shaded garden and full of little relaxation areas. Really great vacation.

Dario was the best host ever. He was always willing to help and was flexible. The place is GORGEOUS! You basically have your own private villa. Close to Mondello beach where the sights are incredible and night life is crazy. It was a cozy spot, but had a classic Italian touch to it. I would highly highly recommend staying here. It was worth every penny.

Nuccia was a wonderful host. The house is near the airport and has amazing lemon trees in the garden. Highly recommend.

We had a great time staying at the large spacious villa. A real nice view from the terrace on the pool and sea and garden! Very friendly and helpful host Guiseppe. I can really recommend this beautiful villa!

We had the best week staying at Bruno’s house. It was even better in person than the photos which is rare! We were a group of 7 including a 2 year old and 11 week old and the villa was perfect for a family holiday. You will not beat the view from the pool area during the day and watching the sunset. There are lots of options for eating outside and sun loungers for relaxing at the pool. The house was very clean and we found everything we needed. Bruno was the perfect host, very welcoming and responsive for any questions we had during our stay and provided contact details of a taxi driver, so we could be dropped into the town when we did not want to drive. We would highly recommend staying here and would love to come back in the future!

Beautiful, comfortable modern accomodation

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely house. It was spotlessly clean, with a generous provision of towels, a well-kept pool, and great amenities throughout. Jessica was incredibly helpful and always available if we needed anything. We celebrated two birthdays during our stay, and Jessica went above and beyond by surprising us with a dessert cake—it was such a thoughtful gesture that made our time there truly unforgettable. We’re so grateful for her kindness and hospitality. Highly recommend this villa for a relaxing and memorable getaway!
