Reviews for Villa Del Saraceno
Review 1：Claudio is an amazing person and his property is very elegant chic !!! The level of simpathy and service is perfect. The breakfast includes home made products made by claudio and his wife. Tip: Dont miss on the home made panacota :)
Review 2：You need a car to stay there, especially in November. Too far to walk to the nearest restaurants without, scary walking by the street in the dark. No night life in the area, but not a problem for me. Probably more life in the area during summer.
Review 3：I was welcomed by Carlo, the brother of the owner Claudio. Carlo offered me a drink of my own choice and biscuits on my arrival. He gave me really useful directions of how to drive to get to the Valley of the temples and advices of restaurants in the area. In the morning Claudio was there, and he had prepared a lovely homemade breakfast with lots of sweet and salty options only for me. He had made an omelet, there were different options of cheese, sausages and ham, fresh bread, cakes, pannacotta, different choice of yoghurts, both coffee and tea of my own choice, and different choices of juice. Claudio even made me a fresh squeezed orange juice which was lovely! I got lemon from the garden in my tea, so fresh! :) The balcony where I had my breakfast had lovely views over the sea and lots of sun. My room had a balcony with view over the fields and mountains. Wifi worked perfectly! It's walking distance to the Scala di Turc and the beach. Private parking on the property. Probably a place one could stay for several nights during summer time. Not so much happening in the area in November, but very good for a relaxing one or two nights. Carlo and Claudio were such nice and friendly people! :)
Review 4：Claudio is a fantastic, friendly, helpful host who cares about his guests' comfort. Quiet location, right next to the scalal turchi, colmfortable room, terrific breakfast.
Review 5：A little bit expensive comparing accommodation in Agrigento but really near the sea and the Scala dei Turchi. Only one night.
Review 6：Wonderful host binging you in person to the view point of Scala dei Tuichi. He will show you his own paintings and lots of masterpieces. Breakfast the best during our 13 days vacation on Sicily island. Wifi fast and stable. Clean and spacious room. Sea view from terrace outside the breakfast room.
Review 7：None. Its far off from city centre, but with a car it is not an issue.
Review 8：Wonderful B&B. Owner was friendly and helpful. Great location to the beach. GREAT breakfast.
Review 9：- nothing, everything great!
Review 10：Great host, great location, great place! Best breakfast in a hotel we can remember! Villa del Saraceno could be a reason to visit Sicily again!
Review 11：If I could give more than "10", I would done it. Everythink was perfect: breakfast ( fantastic!), parking, beautiful room etc. The host Claudio was charming and very, very helpfull. It was the best apartament during our long trip around Sicily.
Review 12：Claudio is a very friendly and helpful host. We felt very welcome there. "Spanish Steps" beach is within walking distance. A must see. Best breakfast we had in Italy. Highly recommended place
Review 13：The pool they are working on looks beautiful, we are looking forward to a swim during our next stay
Review 14：The breakfast was restaurant quality, I seriously thought I died and went to sweet, buttery, delicious Sivilian heaven. Claudio was the best host we've had in all our B&B experiences. He had maps & info prepared for us, restaurant and beach outtings suggestions. Amazing!
Review 15：The B&B is amazingly located for a visit to the beautiful Scala dei Turchi, and 15min drive from Agrigento. The staff is at disposal for every kind o information and suggestions. The breakfasts were simply amazing, with several sweet or salty options.
Review 16：Claudio is an exceptional host, very warm and welcoming. Breakfast was amazing -- always with homemade treats, delicious, and a wide selection. The room was very comfortable. Perfect location for scala del turchi, and many other lovely beaches, as well as agrigento and the valley of the temples.
Review 17：The host is a wonderful person and his wife bakes excellent cakes for breakfast! Very, very pleasant stay. The location is also very good. Only 2 minutes walk to Scala dei Turki. Absolutely can suggest!
Review 18：We were so impressed by hospitality and sincerity of hotel's owner. Hotel is surrounded by amazing nature. Breakfast was the most delicious through the all trip.
Review 19：Our gps had a little difficulty locating the address but our host came to the rescue
Review 20：We were treated to a warm welcome, excellent service and accommodation. Our room was the most comfortable and clean of the 10 places we stayed. Breakfast was a veritable feast served by our lovely host "Alfie". Not really Alfie Boe but certainly as lovely. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Review 21：Location close to Turkish steps, and within 20 min of Agrigento. Parking on site. The hospitality from Claudio is awesome, he made us feel comfortable, he explained all things to see in area, and gave us a drink and a snack when we arrived. The breakfast is over-the-moon--seriously, over the moon! !The Kitchen was covered with choices, and homemade cakes and cheescakes, and a freshly prepared omelette with pesto on side, delicious and we ate it on the terrace outside, with a view of the sea. If I was in the area, I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. You won't go wrong, making your stay with Claudio in Villa del Saraceno. The shower in our room was a tad small, so if you're 'big' as in 'wide' ask if there's a room with a larger shower stall. But, plently of hot water, good pressure, toiletries, this place is just awesome.
Review 22：The rooms were a tad loud - without much in the area of furnishings to absorb the sounds, everything echoed! Totally liveable though!
Review 23：Great location for visiting the Scala dei Turchi (although it took longer to walk there than I had planned - allow yourself at least 45 minutes to catch the sunset!). The staff was over the top nice.
Review 24：Not really unexpected: you need to go out, by car, for dinner.
Review 25：Breakfast, much variation, home-cooking and lots of non-sweets. Very nice owner trying very hard to make you comfortable (supplying free bottles of liquor for the evening).
Review 26：All fantastic!!
Review 27：Claudio who owns and operates Villa del Saraceno is the most incredible host. He went above and beyond to help us in any way he could, providing fascinating information about the area and provides a sensational breakfast that kept us full for most of the day. Gorgeous huge room and Claudio himself makes this villa come to life with warmth and personality.
Review 28：Claudio was a perfect host. In addition to preparing mouth-watering, great-looking breakfast, he helped us with everthing else we needed, from giving us advice on restaurants, to finding the best options for visiting the Valley of Temples and helping us with some technical issues. Great B&B.
Review 29：there was no place to sit and relax outside. No garden (under construction) and the pool was empty (probably also under construction)
Review 30：more than excellent breakfast, extremely friendly owner
Review 31：Nothing
Review 32：The best breakfast we had in our round trip in Sicily, with home made cakes, etc., with fresh orange juice made from Sicilian oranges, breakfast from the balcony with sea view. Nice room, parking place inside, closed to the wonderful Scala dei Turkey. Extremely friendly staff giving advice about what to visit Tip: Try everything with Pistacio! We will come back.
Review 33：I live in Russia
Review 34：Pretty much the best hotel i have ever been to. Claudio - best citizen of Italy. His wife's cousine - you should try it anyway. I would try to visit this place again))))))))
Review 35：The weather wasn't good during our stay, but obviously this isn't fault of the b&b! Actually, the hosts took great care of us by giving very useful suggestions on how to organize our trip in the Agrigento area accordingly and make the most out of it!
Review 36：I liked everything. The location is perfect in many ways (close to turistic attractions but in quiet surroundings at the same time). The breakfast is superlative. The hosts are simply great. They treat you like family. Definitely a must stay if you are into a great experience.
Review 37：Great location, on beautiful Scala di Turchi. Very clean and unique B&B. All other tourist attractions can be easily reached by car. The host Claudio was very helpful, kind and gave us lots of advises what to see around. Moreover, the taste of Claudio's homemade cappuccino was unforgettable.
Review 38：apsolutely nothing!
Review 39：It's a pity that there is no 11 mark because in that case we will give you 12!!! :) Bravo, what should I say! Many of your colleagues can learn from you what tourism means. You are so nice,kind and helpful that you make our visit to this part of sicily so pleasent that we didn't want to go home. This is for shore the best place to stay in ours 5 years of round trips.I don't want to enumerate things that we like here because everything is on a highest level from food to accomodation . I suggest everyone that don't miss this place!
Review 40：Need to note location is top of hill and not immediately close to beach entrance... Therefore beach traffic makes the access difficult at times.
Review 41：The friendliness of husband and wife. The fresh breakfast with tasty homemade cannoli and granita.
Review 42：Very small B&B, very nice people there. We just spend a few nights there, and this was ok, but for a longer stay not really good position. Scala dei Turchi is direct there, but lot of tourists. For all other beaches & restaurant you need a car. Anyway…garden is under construction with a new pool. Absolutely cozy place as soon as it is done. The host is really a good guy, but a bit too overenthusiastic. He gives you 100 ideas for sightseeing and its hard to follow. But this is the italian hospitality. Last but not least: Great breakfast with homemade cakes and Canolli….wow!
Review 43：Many thanks to Claudio the owner. He was very helpful with the advices how to get to the beach, where the most delicious food, what to see around. Location is perfect, just on the scala dei turchi, breakfast very tasty, especially his wifes home made cup cakes. Room very clean and cosy. I hope to come back here again.
Review 44：We loved our stay at Villa del Saraceno. Claudio could not have been a more gracious host. The B&B was located within walking distance of the stunning Turkish steps and the room was spacious with a comfortable double bed, balcony with a sea view, and a sizable bathroom (for Sicily). Breakfast was a real treat - fresh squeezed juice, omelettes and home made pastries. A true home away from home. 5 stars!
Review 45：We had a great stay at Villa del saraceno, room was lovely good size very clean and comfortable. On site covered parking was great. We used the freezer in the kitchen to freeze our freezer blocks and could put things in the fridge to enjoy a cold beer on the balcony after a long day sightseeing. Claudio the owner was absolutely lovely, he could not do enough for us. He made us delicious omelettes one morning and does a fantastic cappuccino - one of the best breakfasts we had in Sicily!
Review 46：Nothing.
Review 47：Excellent villa and hosts. Great location for visiting temple valley. Located just next to the wonderful white cliffs. Couple of nice beaches very close to the villa and a good restaurant. Would recommend for those who travel by car. (would be difficult to get along for those without a car).
Review 48：The customer service was second to none. Claudio was delightful, warm and very helpful. The location was fantastic.

Review 67：The owners are the most hospitable.... ever! Fantastic experience to meet these wonderful Sicilian people at Villa del Saraceno. Thank you.
Review 68：Wonderful place, wonderful hosts. A real pity we stayed only a few nights .. I am sure we will come back for more. Sicilian hospitality at its best. If you are traveling in the area really not to miss ..
Review 69：What a fantastic Bed and Breakfast. A warm welcome from Claudio and Valentina was really nice. They are so proud and passionate of their house. The breakfast was great and taken on the balcony overlooking the sea. Claudio even gave us lemons, fennel and sage from his garden to take home. Would highly recommend staying here. You could not wish to meet nicer people than Claudio and Valentina
Review 70：The B&B was newly renovated, clean and in a great location...conveniently located close to major sites yet away from the noises of the city. But what makes this B&B special are the owners. Claudio and Valentina are the nicest you will ever meet. Upon arriving Claudio immediately showed us the best spots to photograph Scala dei Turchi, within walking distance of B&B. He was very helpful in explaining everything from how to get to major attractions, to restaurants, beaches and even the local flowers. When we asked for a USA adapter Claudio didn't just tell us where to find one. He bought it for us and refused to allow us to pay him back. Also the breakfast was delicious. Valentina provided homemade tastes of southern Sicily and even a doggie bag when we left. Highly recommend. Would stay there again
Review 71：The owners Claudio and Valentina are passionate about running this B&B and this is immediately recognizeable in their warm welcome and meticulous dedication toward helping their guests get the most out of their visit. Our room was immaculately cleaned each day. The breakfast was sumptious with exquisitely prepared home-made cakes, freshly squeezed fruit-juices and local goodies. Claudio gave us every day valuable suggestions on what to visit, with tips and tricks that only locals know about. The location is also perfect, particularly for the Scala dei Turchi (a stone's throw away) and the Valley of Temples (15 mins drive). This B&B truly deserves a booking for anyone visiting this area!
Review 72：Location close to Scala dei Turchi, otherwise quite distant from any attractions. Need a car to get around.
Review 73：The host is super friendly! Breakfast is perfect and service quality second to none at B&B level. We felt very welcome.
Review 74：Nothing to mention here...
Review 75：Great place! The hosts are very warm and welcoming and made our stay a highlight on our Sicily trip. The breakfast is amazing with home made Sicilian delicacies. On request also savory breakfast is prepared, as the typical Sicilian breakfast is very sweet. It is a very short walk to get down to the Scala dei Turchi and a great quite place to stay for the night. We stayed only one night, but would be happy to stay here again any time. We did a spontaneous trip here and realized a little late that this place is hard to reach by any public transport. The neighboring towns are a bit of a walking distance if you do not arrive by car. After our long walk and late arrival to the B&B we were so surprised and happy to be welcomed by a home made cake and a drink from our host. The next day our host was more than helpful in arranging transport for our way back to Agrigento. It was a pleasant stay in every way!
Review 76：None what so ever!
Review 77：The owners, Claudio and Laura, are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The welcoming snack of cheese and local Sicilian wine are well thought of. The breakfast is just outstanding. We had the best Bed and Breakfast experience.
Review 78：niente ;-)
Review 79：We spent two wonderful nights in this place. The Hosts are just great and make you feel being with good old friends and the b&b itself is wounderful. The breakfast is a dream!
Review 80：The owner is doing everything to make you feel at home, spacious rooms, distance to Scala dei Turchi
Review 81：Great - Claudio and Valentina really made us feel at home. Comfortable rooms. Definitely recommend.
