Reviews for Case Vacanze Bellavista

Review 1：We liked everything.

Review 2：Perfect place for holidays with children - nice, cozy and clean rooms, kitchenette, fully equipped bathroom. Children liked most the pool and the breakfast :-) Breakfast is rich and tasteful. True, you sometimes must wait for coffee, because coffee is made with coffee machine with pads, but it's worth waiting - coffee is strong and tasteful.

Review 3：Inside the apartment looked very poor, only few furniture and they were cheapest possible. Wish they renewed specially the kitchen. A little bit of styiling would be nice, curtains etc. The sheet was far too small for so large bed.

Review 4：Goog situation by the see (if you have a car). Very tidy and nice area with pool and good parking facilities. Great great view! Tasty breakfast with varieties (better than usual in Italy)

Review 5：Appartments are not very well isolated (sound, I mean). If you get noisy neighbours, you will notice them. But otherwise, they are more than fine. Be aware that to reach the beach you have to climb down for almost 10 min in a steep terrain....and then up again. Not many dining places around, although Porto Empedocle is full of them.

Review 6：Beautiful little terraced house, with a well equipped kitchen and nice rooms. Amazing sea views and very good pool (would be better with more umbrellas, and without the continuous commercial radio from the kiosk). Friendly staff.

Review 7：Quite small/dark unit but everything you need. Pool area lovely but too small to accommodate total number of guests at one time. Arrive early for breakfast! Reasonably close to beach but access via VERY steep precarious steps. Not suitable for those physically challenged. Not close to restaurants etc. don't turn up before check-in time at the gates as you won't get in!

Review 8：Good property for a few days.

Review 9：- Mosquitoes - Difficult to get around without a car. It's advisable to rent a car

Review 10：- Really friendly staff - Beautiful view - Next to the beach - Lovely part of Sicily to see.

Review 11：The Coffee machine,oh God ! It was a disaster. It took a few mins to pour one cup so there was always a que. The loungers were those timber one s so were quiet hard(no cushions). The cleaners could have provided more toilet rolls and shower gel. Ran out very quickly. We were expected to dump our own rubbish which was fine as bins not far but could have done without the inconvenience.

Review 12：We(4 of us)got an upstairs apartment. Wow, the view was amazing. The sea is so green its breathtaking. Ya there s a lot of steps(144) to beach but not as bad as I'd read in other reviews. Good exercise. Cooking facilities excellent, all we needed. Pool was fantastic. Cleaned every morning. Plenty of loungers. Breakfast was plentiful. Great location for traveling and chilling by pool. Near shops and restaurants. V. good internet in apartment. Friendly people.

Review 13：We had a very difficult time finding it. The GPS took us to the road at the bottom of the cliff that the property sits on.

Review 14：Very nice grounds and pool area. Good breakfast. Great view.

Review 15：The only thing I did have a small problem with was the kitchen and utensils were very basic . It made it very limited as to what you could cook . We love to eat out ,but we also love to eat in and relax with a Sicilian wine and watch the sun go down

Review 16：As I said the apartment was in a lovely position . The pool area was fantastic the staff could not do enough for us so helpful , and the sicilian people are so friendly .there is so much to see and do ,the beaches are to die for .

Review 17：Everything was great

Review 18：Great views, good breakfast. They changed our room from a double to a twin one without a problem. Lovely veranda. And the beautiful scala del Turki (sorry about the spelling) is only 30 mins walk. Nice breakfast.

Review 19：Breakfast, the lay out and the items could do with a make over and the young lady could help with the serving....be more present Also looking at gardeners smoke and work isn't great either

Review 20：The apartments are done well and it is good value for money, it's a shame they haven't finished the surrounding areas and some of the staff are way too relaxed...the place could offer so much more

Review 21：You need a car to get there and get around, but it is definetly worth staying there.

Review 22：Magnificent facilities close to the beach, with breathtaking view. They also have a nice pool and the breafast is also good.

Review 23：When approaching the accommodation the environment is messy. As soon as you enter the accommodation this is not the case anymore. The inside facilities could be modernized (kitchen equipment, bath room facilities).

Review 24：Most of the staff speaks English, sometimes even very well. The best part of the house we rented was the terrace, a large terrace with a great view on the sea. It was a pleasure to sit there. We appreciated the breakfast as well, with several options (cereals, fruit, sweet oven baked pastry, etc.). Walking down the stairs of the accommodation you will find a great beach and a great restaurant. The WiFi worked properly.

Review 25：ants,internet poor signal but present,no microwave device,breakfast monotonous and relatively thin as quality but fresh,walls very thin,acces to the see need a better 50 m high staircase

Review 26：a very well placed villa complex away from the world with sea and green view, pool ,safe parking,good door,good beds,space

Review 27：the terrace not enough separated from other appartments - solution : book an appartment on the first floor

Review 28：the appartment very clean The excellent breakfast and the splendid swimming pool The direct access to the beach

Review 29：A bit noisy rooms, but our neighbours had two screaming kids (we wouldn't have noticed the noisy rooms if there where other residents than the young family with their constantly screaming kids)

Review 30：The view from the apartment was breathtaking, it inspires you to let the moment sink in. The location was good, the beach is accessible by decent staircases and provides you with your daily cardio. The pool, breakfast and accommodation is fine! Staff was friendly, clear instructions and everything was nice and clean.

Review 31：W-LAn signal was too weak! Aggregats for sun collector panels were badly placed on the terasse. When starting everybody was sitting in full air stream. Casa Vacanze Bellavista was hard to find on arrival. No "official" address, poor indications which direction to drive.

Review 32：Air condition was effective without noise and without annoying by cold air stream in the rooms.

Review 33：Looks a bit like a building site outside the complex, but don't let that put you off.

Review 34：The apartments are excellent, and the pool is clean. Easy driving distance to the temples.

Review 35：Despite reception being allegedly open all day our arrival at about 14:00 appeared to throw them. The girl who was sitting outside playing with her phone could find a piece of paper with our name on the desk (we had booked earlier the same day) but had to call in the guy weeding the garden to turn on the PC and find which room we were in. We were then shown to our room which was fine. Clean and everything provided apart from a corkscrew! We found that there we no bulbs in the bedside lights and after pointing this out the following morning they were promptly replace – but I suspect only by taking them from another room. Case Vacanze Bellavista is OK for a couple of days but we would not want a longer stay.

Review 36：The swimming pool and the view

Review 37：Friendly staff, very accomadating. Very Clean. Next time will stay longer.

Review 38：nice plase to visit Etna North

Review 39：A little bit difficult to find location of Bellavista

Review 40：Everything

Review 41：Everything, I can recommend it to everyone.

Review 42：Beautiful apartments, pool and view. Eat at the restaurant Mediterraneo which you go through to get to the beach - divine!

Review 43：Very nice place to be. View on the sea.

Review 44：Excellent Location, Excellent service, Excellent facilities.

Review 45：Excellent place to relax, good location to visit Valley of Temples and Scala del Turchi, good facilities and very nice staff

Review 46：Everything was perfect. Thank you!!!

Review 47：Could have used an extra blanket, kitchen equipment was very basic.

Review 48：Beautiful view and very quiet.

Review 49：A bit more atmosphere (dressing up of the apartment ) would be nice - very clean and efficient

Review 50：Clean room Nice view Sympatic host

Review 51：Must be a fantastic place when the weather allows us to use the swimming pool and the garden.

Review 52：Value for money. Fantastic view.

Review 53：Difficult to localise the facility.

Review 54：Beautiful view to the sea. You can see sunset sitting in the balkony, you can reach Scala the Turchi by feet. Good breakfast in the very nice place.

Review 55：Schoene Location und nicht weit vom Meer entfernt. Leicht abgelegen von allem. Nice location and not fare away from the ocean. Retired from all

Review 56：The view from terrace Staff was very helpful

Review 57：Pool Cleanliness The apartment well laid out and convenient for family with small children

Review 58：Poor breakfast Need to drive to go out in evening Noise from the town disco up to 2.00am

Review 59：View

Review 60：Breakfast

Review 61：We had a car! A must need for this location. Near Scala Dei Turchi! A Must See And Valley De Templi

Review 62：It was all good

Review 63：Great position right above beach. Short walk to Scala di Turchi. Good breakfast, nice pool and lovely new apartments with views of sea

Review 64：Very nice place, with sea view and terrace, swimming pool.

Review 65：The approach across scrub (building land) is not very attractive. Car or stiff walk needed to get to restaurants

Review 66：Room was spacious with a lovely terrace with views out to sea. If you are active enough to tackle the steep steps to the beach the walk to Turkish Steps is well worth it. Good pool. Overall a very comfortable place and very good value.

Review 67：wifi only covers the public area, including the breakfast room where you can find plugs to use electricity but close from 8 pm. For the shower, the warm water is not desirable, the warm water is not enough for one girl to take a shower. but it's ok if you can finish within 5 mins.

Review 68：nice apartment with great sea view, beautiful swimming pool

Review 69：- Be noted, although hotel has full "sea view", there is high cliff between hotel and the beach. Each time you want to access the sea, you need to climb stairs down and up again. It wasn't a problem for us at all, but some people with limited capabilities must bear that in mind.

Review 70：- All rooms has sea view, so sitting in the terrace with the sough of sea in the evenings is unforgettable. - Perfect for beach walk to Scala dei Turchi (15-20 min). Easy access to Valle dei Templi by car. - Although not much English speaking, but very much customer caring staff. - Good value for money. - We had great and lovely stay, but after all, we are not the travellers who easy get annoyed by details.

Review 71：Please have the breakfast server learn some English - it may make her appear more friendly. Lack of kitchen utensils.

Review 72：Friendliness of the owner and manager.

Review 73：a surprising find. a beautiful,clean place over looking the sea of sicily. our June vacation was a dream come true. the staff is professional and accomodating. my husband and i are already planning to return with friends and family.

Review 74：GPS coordinates took us to the base of the hill instead of to the top. No street number associated with the address for GPS use.

Review 75：View and ability to relax with a great view.

Review 76：Wifi only at the pool area (and even there poor signal). Breakfast from 8:30 to 10:00 and during this 1 and 1/2 hour workers applied some chemistry on stones around the pool (could wait till breakfast is over).

Review 77：Fantastic view. Nice terrace. You can access the beach via the stairs from the backyard ( at your own risk :) ).

Review 78：The resort is isolated and you must have a car.

Review 79：The bedrooms and terrace lookout over a spectular view of the Meterriterian. A new facility, very quiet. The host was very helpful and patient with our poor Italian.

Review 80：Hot water quantity for several morning showers is clearly below minimum necessary. Only one short shower is possible, and afterwards, you will have to wait an hour to get more hot water for the next one. Thermo electyrical recipient should be much much bigger without doubt!

Review 81：Great sea views, quiet (at least in winter), comfortable and almost new (we were there end of 2013).

Review 82：The walk-way down to the coast road was eroded in places and once along the coast road there was not immediate access to the beach.

Review 83：The peaceful location of the Case Vacanze Bellavista and it's lovely views.

Review 84：Nothing!

Review 85：This is a beautiful spot. The apartments are fully equipped. The staff is friendly and helpful, the breakfast has a good variety. The view is gorgeous. The pool looked nice too, but we didn't use it. It's less than 10 min drive to Agrigento and the Valley of the temples.

Review 86：nothing

Review 87：The location is perfect: you have direct view to the sea and nice beaches (also scala dei turchi) are really close. Agrigento and the valley of the temples is also close. The appartments are nice, clean and had everything we needed. Nice pool. Very friendly staff! Definitely a place to recommend!

Review 88：Porto Empedocle city itself does not offer a wide verity of nice restaurants, and the city is poor in terms of infrastructure. But in Agrigento you can find much larger amount of options.

Review 89：Facilities were brand new and the location of the construction is very nice. All the rooms are located in front of a very nice garden with the Mediterranean see as background on top of the hill with a great view of all the surroundings. A few Lidos close by and a some restaurants too.Very close to Scalla dei Turchi and few miles from Valle dei Templi and other nice Tourist attractions.

Review 90：Nothing.

Review 91：Very good apartments for a family with children. Clean rooms, spacious terrace to dine outside, quite enough equipped kitchen, variety of fresh pastries for the breakfast and the best: a lawn overlooking the sea accessible directly from the room. The sandy beaches are perfect - about 5km long, very wide and clean. There may be a slight inconvenience: to access them you need to use stairs to come down from the hill, but it is not a problem if you are more or less mobile. Otherwise you can reach there in 5 minutes by car which is still necessary at this place to access nearby towns and to explore the sights of south-western Sicily.

Review 92：Congratulations! This place is magical! On the top of a hill with small palm-islands in the center of a big garden and a fantastic view of the sea from the terrace – everything is wonderful! Sitting on the terrace in the morning and listening to the sound of the ocean’s waves is great! The owner is very enthusiastic and honest, she speaks English fluently and she did everything to us to feel good. The apartment is very clear, everything is new and beautiful, the bed is big and comfortable, the pool is crystal clear, 200 year old palms around the pool are marvellous, the breakfast is from a lot of type of delicious foods. This was one of the most beautiful vacations of our life. We were very sad to leave this place.

Review 93：The location is horrible, in the middle of nowhere surounded by construction works. The breakfast were really poor.

Review 94：Each appartment has its own terrace facing the sea.

Review 95：Everything was just wonderful, it was deffinitely what we was searching for. Rooms, garden, pool area were nice, new and clean. Each house has 3 separate apatments - two for 2people on the ground with garden sittings and one the first floor with patio for 4. So this was just perfect that we can stay together in one building. Even the stairs to beach wasn't such a big deal for us, however older people and children would need to go to the beach by car, since it's not very safe. However Scala dei Tuchi is so close you can go there on foot through the beach. Moreover Norina made our holiday totally unforgattable since on my requet she arranged for my b/friend b-day dinner with unforgattable sicilian food and it was just best place we've stayed in Sicily.

Review 96：Breakfasts will not match Eastern European tastes, although they reach. You will mostly find fruits and sweet pastry. We stayed at the upper apartment with two small terraces which seemed to be cool at the first glance but appeared to be practically useless due to external aircondition blocks mounted there, which is not a case in bottom apartment. Last but not least: there is no internet connection in the apartments and the only available hot spot near swimming pool simply sucks!

Review 97：Cliff exposed location is impressive, offering outstanding seaside view. Apartments are spacy, clean and well equiped. Aircondition works fine. However the residence lacks restaurant, you will find plenty of them nearby. For those who prefer cooking, there are two well stocked supermarkets couple kilometers away.

Review 98：Lack of privacy. Neighbours are close

Review 99：Good advices from the reception lady, fantastic view, access to Beach, and to scala dei turchi, by feet. Apartments well furnished. Good restaurant-mediterraneo- very close. Not far from temple valley

Review 100：The breakfast buffet was small and lacked an espresso machine.

Review 101：The owner was extremely helpful and friendly and the facilities are really well organized. The Bellavista sits on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean sea, all the rooms have large terraces and there are stairs leading directly to the beach and a couple of nice restaurants. Also, Scala dei Turchi is just a 15 minutes walk away.

Review 102：There were underwater riffs, we had to walk a bit to find a part of the beach without underwater rocks.

Review 103：Separate bedroom and kitchen, with private patio overlooking the sea. Very close to the beach. Nice big swimming pool. The entrance to the beach is at a restaurant. This restaurant was great in the evening, fresh seafood, pasta and pizza, huge portions, for a very good price.

Review 104：The area surrounding the hotel is desolate and in the process of building works. But once you enter the hotel vacinity it's a beautiful tranquil location with amazing sea views.

Review 105：The pool was beautiful. Access to the beach couldn't have been closer, unless you were actually on the beach. But the access is down very steep steps so not suitable for people with disabilities.

Review 106：Cold staff, some of them did not even said Hello to us. Neither toiletor sun umbrellas available at pool. Cleaning service provided only onrequest and is charged. Even then the trash bin was not emptied. Wifionly at reception and few meters from reception although advertisedcoverage in apartments. Kitchen equipment very basic, no cleaneravailable.

Review 107：Nicely furnished room with excellent and undisturbed sea view fromprivate terrace. Clean and nice hotel pool. Ideal location for Valle deiTempli and beaches.

Review 108：Staff is very friendly. You have your own backyard with stairs to the sea where you can watch sunset with some glass of wine. At the same time excelent pool is availble in case of wind on the sea.

Review 109：The kitchenette is fine, but there are no local grocery markets. The beach is not especially close, but walkable and wonderful.

Review 110：This newly created hotel has not been perfected yet, but is an amazing deal. Spacious, great views, close to the beach, clean. Breakfast is generous and wonderful.

Review 111：Two dining chairs were the only indoor seating - not so good in bad weather. There were no restaurants within walking distance.

Review 112：It was easy to find being just off the main road S115/E931. The gentleman at reception was extremely pleasant and helpful. The covered patio was very comfortably furnished and the floor tiles in the bathroom were non-slip. There is a supermarket nearby on the main road going east. Breakfast, unusual when self-catering, was good and gave us the chance to compare notes with other guests. Although we didn't like the centre of P. Empedocle itself, Bellavista was a good base for this area of Sicily, being situated at the end of a residential road of villas, olive groves, playground and sports courts.

Review 113：The indoor sitting area was rather small. We did go early May so it was rather too cool to sit out on our lovely veranda in the evenings.

Review 114：staff were efficient and friendly. Breakfast was served beside the swimming pool with lots of hot coffee and simple help yourself. The apartment had a huge very comfortable bed and .smart bathroom.

Review 115：Time is too short for me!

Review 116：it was an unforgetable place ever i have experienced! I will come back again! I will come back again with my family and friends soon!

Review 117：Very clean and new, the owner was super helpful and even ran us intotown for a restaurant we wanted to go to as well as picking us up after.Tried to give him some euro but he wouldn't take it . All in all, afab place to stay.

Review 118：it's overpriced for what it is: very small rooms, some equipment broken, breakfast is minimal. Seemed overall unfinished.

Review 119：not much. Pool area was nice (but not much shadow), and patio in front of the units were ok.

Review 120：The boilers could be of a greater capacity.

Review 121：Perfect point to swim at the Scala dei Turchi and visit the temples of Agrigento. Situated on a green grass hill terrace above the blue Sicilian sea. All the appartments offer this astonishing view, which we have enjoyed drinking a glas of wine comfortably seated in the garden. The beach below can be reached trough the staires, but we recomend the white rocks of the "Scala dei Turchi"! For a lazy swim there is a lovely swimming pool with sun bathing facilities on the side. The all complex is brand new, very well kept and extremely clean! Bellavista is a family business and the proud owners are a classical example of Sicilian hospitality. We wanted something to join the wine and they offered us bread, cheese and mortadella which they usually serve for breakfast. So if you need something just ask for it, it's much more useful than complaining afterwards. We very much regret not having stayed longer than one night. Alessandra.

Review 122：It was a little hard to find. Where street narrows an additional sign would be very helpful.

Review 123：Very helpful staff, waiting for us for a late arrival. We apologized for this and the gentleman that greeted us was very nice about it. Very clean unit. Nice outdoor patio space, the beautiful sea below and a nice pool area, too!

Review 124：Poor breakfast. Should improve here. Hot Water Was Just For One PersonBecause I Think The Boiler Was Too Small. Heating Was Not Working.

Review 125：Nice terrace with view of the sea.

Review 126：We spent just a great Easter holiday staying in this lovely Case VacanzeBellavista. It was very well equipped, cleaned and maintained. The areain this period was very calm and the weather was unexpected pretty warm.So we especially liked sitting out on the terrace where we ate most ofour meals enjoying the stunning view over the sea. It felt lying on thepretty nearby beach watching people swimming in the sea on beginning ofapril! There is plenty to do, many interesting sites, though a car isessential, Scala dei Turchi, Valle dei Temli are nice for a daytrip.Agrigento, Siculiana and Porto Empedocle are also well worth a visit.Especially thanks to kind property owners, they kindly solved all ourquestions and even more. All in all, a great base for a family holiday!Yul, Eug, Oliv and Vivi.

Review 127：Ants in tha bathroom.

Review 128：Nice place, modern accommodation, lovely terrace, view to the sea.
