Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sferracavallo, Palermo

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 ❤️

une jolie maison sicilienne pleine de charme avec un très beau jardin et une belle vue sur les oliviers, la montagne et la mer. la maison est à proximité de la réserve de Zingaro et de Segestra. Lucietta a été très disponible et flexible. nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cet endroit que nous recommandons.

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 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.

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.

Ottimo soggiorno in un appartamento stupendo! Posizione super centrale, appartamento molto grande, pulito e confortevole. Consiglio moltissimo!

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt bei Daniela und ihrer Cousine Cinzia! Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber, zentral gelegen und alles Nötige – Supermarkt, Restaurants und Märkte – war direkt ums Eck. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die unkomplizierte und sehr freundliche Kommunikation der beiden. Eine kleine Reparatur an der Klimaanlage haben sie uns frühzeitig mitgeteilt, uns für die Unannehmlichkeit eine Nacht erlassen und uns sogar mit Wein und Keksen überrascht – ein wirklich aufmerksamer und großzügiger Zug! Die Dachterrasse war ein echtes Highlight. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und kommen gerne wieder. Vielen Dank, Daniela und Cinzia!

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!!!!

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

Ich denke ich werde meinen ganzen Urlaub nicht mehr so eine schöne Wohlfühloase finden wie bei Antonella über den Dächern von Palermo. Nur wegen ihrer wundervollen Lage lädt ihre super eingerichtete Küche, wo es an nichts fehlt, zum Selbstkochen ein, nur um den Palermo Zauber im privaten allein über den Dächern genießen zu können. Ich als allein reisende Frau fühlte mich in der gesamten Umgebung absolut sicher. Der Hafen und die via Emanuel laden auch Nachts um 22 Uhr für einen kleinen Verdauungsspaziergang ein. Es gibt's viele Restaurant und Bars und einen schönen Platz direkt 2 min fußläufig. Traumhaft. Antonella ist super lieb und schreibt gefühlt innerhalb zwei Sekunden zurück. Vielen Dank für alles! Komme ich wieder Mal nach Palermo schlafe ich nur bei Antonella. Das ist klar;)

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!

L'ottima posizione ci ha consentito di visitare molti paesi e città della Sicilia occidentale, da Cefalù ad Agrigento. Confermo la grande disponibilità e simpatia dell'host Dario.

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 est adorable, elle est à l’écoute et très attentive, avec toujours de petites attention. Malgré ma confusion lors de la réservation nuccia a été adorable!! Je recommande! Pour info la voiture est conseillé

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 beautiful, amazing stay! We started off our trip in Catania area and finished it here. It’s only a couple min ride from the airport which was great for us since we flew out of Palermo. The home looked just like the photos. In fact, the yard/pool even looked bigger in real life. We couldn’t use the pool because it rained a bit during our stay, but it was super clean/we still had a blast and enjoyed sitting outside when it stopped raining. We traveled with 4 young children and they absolutely loved the play area on the lawn. That was such a nice added bonus. Home was spotless and had enough space to fit our group of 12. PLENTY of extra blankets and linen. Each room had AC which was nice too. Host was very responsive and great at communicating! We didn’t have any issues finding the home and we were greeted upon arrival with some yummy pies and snacks. So grateful we found this gem.

We loved our stay at Marida's and Beppe's place. The little villa's are cozy, comfortable and have all you need. Also for staying with a baby of 11 months old. The garden is beautiful and the pool is the best, with an amazing view. Good to know for young parents, the (non video) baby monitor we took with us reached from our villa to the pool! The location of the stay is a good base to explore several beautiful fishing villages, beaches and of course Palermo. The only downside being that while the closest village is at an okay walking distance, the unpaved road to walk on is not suitable for the average baby stroller. To close off, hosts Marida, Beppe (and Bonbon!) are very friendly and thoughtful hosts. With a very interesting background in science and art, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Thanks for having us!
