Villa Hermosa is a prestigious villa with swimming pool and a view of the blue sea of San Nicola l'Arena, one of the most attractive seaside resorts on the northern coast of Sicily.

The outdoor shower is located near the swimming pool. The swimming pool is surrounded by a terrace, partly covered and partly outdoors, furnished with chaise-longues, sofas and a table with chairs. A large glass door leads to the living room with sofa, TV, table with chairs, fireplace, fully equipped open plan kitchen. Adjacent to the kitchen there is a second terrace with table and chairs and access to the barbecue area and external wood oven, and to the internal garden with children's play area. From the living room on the ground floor there is access to a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and air conditioning, and to another bathroom for common use.

Very good

We had a great time. Loved the pool and the house. Plenty of room. Easy to get to Palermo and Cefula. Location and house reminded me of Topanga Canyon.
This house is not worth the headache. We had so many concerns from broken toilets, mold, broken appliances, slug on stairs, broken stairs, dirty couches, ants constantly in the cabinets, rooms etc. rent at your own risk!

All minor concerns you complained during your stay were fixed in the very next days after. On the other hand, your dog defecated in my garden and bathed in my pool! Unacceptable behaviour.
The worst house ever- looks nothing like the pictures
This house looks nothing like the pictures. The house is filthy and broken down. The bathrooms are molded. This is a scam and a trap. Do not stay here. We left after a day and found a reasonable accommodation. This place is unsafe. The owner literally texted us to tell us certain parts of the home were unsafe.
Breathtaking views, amazing pool, and comfortable for a multi-family holiday!
This private Sicilian villa was the perfect week long destination for our multi-family group visiting for weddings in Bagheria and Cefalu. Three levels of comfortable living space, a well equipped kitchen, and numerous outdoor terraces around the large swimming pool gave our family plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the wonderful weather and views. Renting a car is must, but the gated property is a close drive to beaches, restaurants, and grocery shopping.
Special thank you to Michela for being so responsive to my inquiries and of course Erica for being a gracious and personal host.
Until next time!!
We left this property a week early due to serious maintenance and safety issues. The pool was unusable for three days on arrival (low water, broken skimmer, repairs underway). The lower-level toilet was cracked, removed on Aug 22, and not replaced until Sept 4. Showers leaked, electrical outlets were exposed, ceiling lights flickered, and mold was present in the bathrooms and exterior.We also dealt with ants, mosquitoes from overgrown landscaping, rust dripping from AC units, and unusable cookware/appliances (some replaced during our stay). Furniture was dirty, and discarded appliances were left in the yard. Maintenance workers were constantly in and around the home, making it stressful and unsuitable for a vacation.I documented everything with 46 photos which some are attached (only allowable amount) The same issues were raised in a previous review, which proves these problems were not isolated. Guests should be aware this home was not properly prepared or maintained before our arrival.The host is very dishonest with her statements on the seriousness of the property. Instead of taking responsibility for the conditions she blames the guest for the maintenance problems that should have been addressed prior to renting.

We are sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations, but it is essential to correct inaccuracies for future guests.
You complain of “serious problems,” yet you used the property for 14 out of 21 days, leaving early without ever canceling your second reservation. If the problems were so serious, we would have expected an immediate complaint, not the enjoyment of the stay.
The truth about the problems reported and resolved:
1.Water Line: Toilet replaced within 48 hours of the report, without ever precluding the use of the other 3 bathrooms.
2.Swimming pool: Filled and fully operational in less than 24 hours after a brief technical intervention during the night (it was never unusable for 3 days).
3. Equipment: Worn blender and pans were replaced immediately (24 hours).
4. Maintenance: Our staff intervened only to resolve the issues you reported and for scheduled mosquito control. Claims such as “mold” or “exposed electrical outlet” are false: it was an old, disused telephone cable. No safety issues were found.
Despite our prompt intervention, you breached the terms of the contract:1) you allowed your dog to swim in the pool, contaminating the filtration system.2) Upon early check-out, you left the villa unlocked, leaving the keys unattended on the street, which is unacceptable and unsecure behavior.
We refuse to accept unfounded accusations that cover up your change of plans and we invite future guests to consider all of our excellent reviews.

Nice Stay but quite remote
Overall, we did enjoy our stay; Erica met us and took us to the villa and showed us around which was nice as we could ask any questions.
The villa is a little tired compared to the pictures; in one of the bedrooms we could not open the blinds as they did not work and the windows could do with a good clean. We had several cats around the property and were told not to feed or interact with them, which we did not. I could not open the kitchen door as the cats were often around!
Now for the mosquitoes, they are a nightmare, and it is due to the time of year we went but they were relentless; one of us had about 43 bites, even with having candles out, spraying our bodies and burning the coils, we could not have the doors of the property open at any time of the day or night because of this. There is also no covered outside area at all, so when the weather was not great, wind or rain, we had to sit inside for our meals with the doors closed. The pool is great, although 2/3rds of it is too deep to stand in. The views are the best part. The villa is quite remote but it was only a 40-minute drive to most of the attractions, Mondella Beach and Cefalu, a gorgeous little town to visit and have lunch. We did enjoy our stay, but it would have been a lot better without the pesky mosquitoes and if there had been a covered outside area. Thank you.
La villa etait superbe, on avait une piscine énorme, une terrasse incroyable. Le billard était clairement un . La cuisine d extérieure avec le barbecue etait très bien. Erica etait toujours très disponible des que nous avions une question ou un problème.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans une villa très fonctionnelle, belle, propre , bien située et une piscine exceptionnelle.
La communication s est bien déroulée.
Je recommande+++ pour un séjour en famille et entre amis.
Un séjour hors du temps dans cette villa qui surplombe la montagne et la mer, magnifique propriété, idéal pour un voyage entre amis ! C’est Erica qui nous a accueilli avec beaucoup de gentillesse et d’attention, merci encore ☺️

Good looking villa near Palermo. We enjoyed our stay
We enjoyed our stay here. However, we had some problems regarding noise complaints during the day while just swimming and talking. The communication about this went somewhat poorly. For the rest, the house was really nice, big and close to Palermo.

nice house, little isolated
nice house but a little far from everything. You need a car to get around to shops and restaurents.
We loved the outdoor area and most of the house was great, so I do not wish to criticize unduly. Very clean, great welcome pack and very secure.
The views were lovely and the sunrise amazing.
On the downside the basement bedroom is a bit dark, the showers are very small and the mosquitoes also loved the outdoor space.
Overall a good time and when the water ran out The owner was amazing at 8.30pm to get us a tanker delivered and extra bottled water as well.
We stayed here two families with teenagers for one week and the house fullfilled all our expecations. The house is large and has a fantastic view and very large pool that both teenagers and adults loved. There are plenty of space in the house and outdoor areas where you can find a place in the shadow for socializing or reading a book. Close to reach the motorway and the village of San Nicola l'Arena where you can find shops and nice restaurants. I would suggest you pay Covo del Brigante a visit. Great welcoming and local contact with Erica that was very friendly and helpful.

Nice villa for bigger group or family
Nice villa in good location close to the autostrada although not close to a village or so. Good layout of rooms, airy atmosphere, very clean and wonderful porch with a great pool. Comfort of the beds is acceptable.
Has no central heat, only ACs in the bedrooms, so the living room was a bit chilly in April.
A few details of the house weren't working well: one toilet was clogged, one bedroom ACs wasn't heating, the basement shower leaked. Also, the kitchen pots and pans incl the italian stove-top coffee makers as well as the outside fireplace were rusty.

Excellentes vacances à la Villa Hermosa!
Belle et spacieuse villa sur les hauteurs de San Nicola l'Arena où l'on trouve tout le nécessaire (supérette, boulangerie, marchands de fruits et légumes locaux, restaurants et bars). Superbe vue mer depuis la grande piscine et les chambres de l'étage. Erica nous a chaleureusement accueillis et était à disposition en cas de besoin. Conforme à la description et aux photos: il y a tout l'équipement nécessaire, la maison est propre et la literie confortable. Nous étions en famille à 7, et il y a largement de quoi s'attabler ou prendre le soleil tous ensemble avec les multiples salons de jardins et chaises longues. Beau et grand jardin méditerranéen avec trampoline et balançoire pour les plus petits. Salle de billard pour finir la soirée. Une valeur sûre pour réussir ses vacances !

Parfait pour les vacances
Superbe maison d'architecte avec de grands volumes pour les parties communes ce qui rend le quotidien très agréable ( mais du coup, les chambres sont petites, une seule SdB à l'étage). Piscine superbe, billard; maison très bien équipée à tout point de vue (cuisine, services, serviettes...). Très grand barbecue ( avec en plus un vrai four à pizza si vous voulez vous lancer). Parking sans problème pour 3 voitures. Plage galet accessible à pied ( mais ça monte un peu..), 15 km en voiture pour du sable. Localisation idéale pour visiter Palerme et l'ouest de la Sicile ; une petite réserve pour la proximité de l'autoroute qui peut un peu rompre le calme d'une après midi au bord de la piscine...
