Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The place is clean BUT, all the necessities that you needed is not provided, no soap, toilet paper, dishwasher soap, paper towel etc. Pool is close at 8pm, what the heck your on vacation and after a long day outside you want to relax on the pool but it is close. And one more thing no air conditioning, you have to pay 5euro/day. All of these should have provided with no extra cost.

Not recommended - short term stay
The property is located in a very good place. You need a car to enjoy it properly. The house rules are very strict. For example, the pool hours are very restricted at the point that the time to enjoy it is very limited. The property has very basic stuff you need to buy everything from hand soap, dish soap, garbage bags, paper towel, etc. The property does not have some basic appliances such as coffee maker, microwave, etc. We asked the property owner for more hand soap (it was provided a very small amount of a mixture of water and soap that lasted twice), salt and dish soap. We received an explanation that we needed to buy everything but salt and another roll of toilet paper was provided. We had to ask the property owner to control her voice tone during our conversation (she explained that it was a cultural approach to conversations). We don’t recommend the property since it does not meet our regular standards. We believe you will enjoy it for a long term stay probably if you are properly prepared and equipped. We think and recommended the owner to be very clear and explicit on her post about the conditions so that you can take an informed decision.

Perfect holiday, lovely home, welcoming owner
We had a fantastic week here - and booked again for next year before we left! Very comfortable apartment, well equipped and clean, a few minutes walk from centre of town and a few minutes drive from beach. Rosalia, Francesco and Martina were incredibly welcoming and helpful, and lovely with our disabled daughter. Very, very highly recommended! Mille Mille grazie Rosalia

Great Apartment
A large, well equipped apartment, just a few minutes outside of Balestrate. With two balconies, a rooftop terrace, and a swimming pool, the apartment has very nice outdoor living spaces too. The host was very helpful with local information and providing transportation to/from the train station (for a reasonable fee.) We would stay here again.

This is a wonderful place to stay, couldn't be better
We had an absolutely wonderful experience here due entirely to the professionalism and caring attitude of Rosalie, the owner. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, comfortable, and beautiful. We had a problem with our car and Rosalie and her husband came and picked us up and helped us resolve it. I can't say enough good things about this stay. Book with confidence.

Really great place to stay! Clean and comfortable with a fantastic welcome by Rosalia and her family. Including Dusty the gorgeous dog. Rosalie and her daughter met us at the airport - which was great and hassle free, showed us around Balestrate and really looked after us. We are looking forward to going back.

Wonderful hosts!
The property is exactly as advertised. Although the apartment is in the same building as the owners, we felt as though we had the place to ourselves. Rosalia and her family could not have been more helpful. We were picked up at the airport and she arranged the use of a car for the week. Although we had done some research into what attractions were in the surrounding area, Rosalia and her daughter Martina gave us some very helpful advice, which made our stay even more enjoyable than we had hoped for. On the day we were due to return home, Francesco got up at 4 am to run us the few miles to Palermo airport. This holiday apartment offers excellent value for money and we would highly recommend it as a base for exploring north west Sicily. Thank you Rosalia and family!

Beautiful Balestrate
This property is huge, comfortable had everything you need and an ideal base for exploring stunning Sicily. Rosalia and her family went above and beyond to help us and make us feel welcome. This included airport pickup, supermarket trip and beach. Plus an insight into the best bars and restaurants. The pool was perfect for my family. We hope to return in the future. Miss you all including Dusty xx

Ci siamo trovati molto bene nella casa di Rosalia. Si sente una gran ospitaliá. Quando c'è bisogno Rosalia aiuta in ogni situazione. Da Balestrate si puo fare tante belle gite e Rosalia necessariamente da tanti bei consigli. Ci siamo trovati molto bene nel apartamento e molto bene con Rosalia e la sua famiglia. L' apartamento é ben atrezzato, ben organizzato e grande. Il terazzo é molto bello e ottimo per la sera. Anche il pool a fiancho del palazzo é molto bello. Grazie per il bellisimo tempo che potevamo stare nel apartamento.

Saubere Unterkunft aber nichts für Familien mit kleinen Kindern
Wir sind als Familie mit unter anderem einem Kleinkind und einem Baby angereist. Die Vermieterin Rosalia hat am Anfang einen freundlichen Eindruck gemacht.Die Unterkunft und der Pool waren Sauber und gepflegt. Die Küchenausstattung war ausreichend für die schnelle Urlaubsküche. Zu Beginn unseres Aufenthaltes Anfang Mai war es leider sehr regnerisch und der Wind kühl wodurch unser Kind sich eine Ohrenentzündung eingeholt hat und deswegen in der Nacht geweint hatte. Daraufhin wurde ich um Mitternacht von der Gastgeberfamilie, die im selben Haus wohnt, angerufen und mir wurde gesagt dass es nicht normal ist dass mein Kind weint. Ab dann war die Freundlichkeit leider verschwunden und Rosalia hat sich immer wieder über die Kinder aufgeregt. An einem sehr regnerischen Tag an dem wir nicht raus konnten und wir die Kinder drin Beschäftigt haben war ihr auch ständig alles zu laut. Wir haben uns ab da nicht mehr wohlgefühlt und würden diese Unterkunft, in der man so wenig Empathie gegenüber Kindern hat nicht nochmal buchen. Deswegen für Familien nicht geeignet
