Ignazio is an incredible host and went way above and beyond to make my experience in Bagheria a positive one. He had lots of recommendations on sites to see, places to eat, and checked in with me several times during my stay to make sure all was well. Additionally, the rooms of the Station Master are beautiful and comfortable and the sounds of the trains coming and going throughout the day added to the ambiance. Would highly recommend for any trip to Bagheria or Palermo -- it would be so easy to take the train in and out and have a peaceful place to lay your head. I hope to stay here again on future visits.

There is a special charm in staying in Ignazio's place! A fun and easy location, stylish and very comfortable, everything is in place - as I write I'm enjoying the memory of the scent of the sheets. Our host, Ignazio, is a wonderful mix of having a relaxed and caring attitude, together with that professional attention to detail and design. A sense of happiness and warmth is what we experienced here - We'll be back!!!

Ignazio nous a très gentiment accueilli et donné de (très) bon conseils. La chambre est belle, spacieuse, et très bien équipée. L'endroit est idéalement placé pour faire des visites d'une journée des endroits proches de Bagheria. A faire !

Il mio primo soggiorno infrasettimanale. Strategica la posizione se si hanno deggli affari da sbrigare a Palermo o nei dintorni muovendosi sia in auto che con i mezzi pubblici. Come al solito Ignazio é stato disponibile, cortese, premuroso e prodigo di consigli. La stanza era confortevole, pulita ed ordinata come sempre.

If you come to Bagheria or this Area , this is where you should stay. If you Book in here , you dont just book a room, You get a Personal Guide for Safety and fun :) Ignazio will make more then just be helping ! Thanks to him, we had a Safe private parking Place for our Scooter and have experienced A lot of Things we Wouldnt have Found without his suggestions . The accomodation : Ignazio and Rosella really have built something Special. The Rooms and the Kitchen Area are beautiful and you See that they have doubtless taken a lot of Time and attention when they have Chosen the Furniture and colours. The breakfast was super And Ignazio didnt spare anny effort to consider Special Needs Because of allergys Perfekt

Pratica la posizione vicino la stazione ferroviaria ed al parcheggio. La stanza era bellissima: luminosa, comoda spaziosa e pulita. In poche parole ineccepibile. Gli spazi comuni sono confrtevoli e invogliano a trascorrere più tempo in casa... Esatto a casa! Il buon gusto nella scelta degli arredi, la cortesia e la disponibilità di Ignazio, hanno reso davvero piacevole il soggiorno. L'unica difficoltà è stata quella di convincere mia figlia che quella non era casa nostra e che purtroppo era giunto il momento di andare via!

My 1st experience to sleep in a train station and not the last ! It was really great. The house is beautiful, clean and very well decorated. The rooms are perfect. 15mn from the town centre but a very nice experience ! Ignazio was very kind and helpful with us. I definitely recommend this place!

Jolie chambre au dessus de la gare de la ville avec vue sur les quais. Tout est très propre et neuf. Accès à une cuisine commune. Excellent petit déjeuner. Malgré un effort d'insonorisation, on ne va pas se mentir : il y a pas mal de bruit (sirène du passage à niveau, freinage des trains, haut parleur annonçant les voies) mais il n'y a aucun train entre 23h et 6h30. Facilités de stationnement avec la voiture même si je ne le recommande pas car notre voiture (garée devant l'entrée) a malheureusement été vandalisée durant la nuit.. Pour éviter les mauvais surprises au réveil, ce logement me semble davantage approprié à ceux qui voyagent en train. Ignazio est très sympathique et arrangeant.

L'appartement a une vue magnifique sur la mer (et Palerme). Il est confortable, propre et fonctionnel. La literie est un peu ferme à notre goût (général à la Sicile apparement). L'accès au parking est un peu compliqué et se fait en marche arrière (manœuvres en pente). Sergio nous a réservé un très bon accueil en Français. Il est de très bon conseils (restaurants et accès à Palerme). Le premier petit déjeuner était offert.

Avevamo grandi aspettative per questo posto, viste le fotografie e il costo. Ci siamo purtroppo trovati in un appartamento non funzionale per 4 persone e poco pulito. Rispetto alla pulizia, c'erano ragnatele in vari punti della casa, abbiamo trovato peli sull'asse del water al nostro arrivo e il secondo giorno una grossa blatta nella doccia. Oltre a ciò, l'appartamento si è dimostrato scomodo per quattro persone in quanto i due che dormivano in sala venivano svegliati all'alba dalla luce del sole che entra dalla vetrata panoramica, splendida, ma non oscurabile per dormire. Oltre a ciò, la parte di vetrata ad angolo è con vetri a specchio per cui di sera (con il buio fuori e la luce dentro) i vicini possono vedere dal balcone dentro il salotto. Inoltre, al nostro arrivo era stato preparato solo uno dei due letti (quello in camera), mentre l'altro l'abbiamo dovuto preparare noi. In conclusione, abbiamo trovato questo appartamento con molte potenzialità (vista splendida, accesso al mare, vicinanza a Palermo), ma mal tenuto e con poca attenzione alle possibili necessità degli ospiti, per cui ne è uscito uno spazio con una bella vista, ma poche accoglienza e comodità per chi lo vive.

We stayed four nights at Villa Acqua Chiara "Mare". The 180°-view is amazing. We wanted to go two days to Palermo but because of the fantastic view and the nice weather, we decided to go only one day. After travelling three weeks through Sicily it was very relaxing ... An experience we will never forget! The apartment is only 10 minutes walking to the village of Aspra. There you can buy everything you need: a bakery, a little supermarket, a fishermans market (in the morning). The place is also a good laocation to go to Palermo. Your car is safely parked and Sergio was the perfect host to guide us. He even drove us to the station from where it is only 15 minutes to the central station of Palermo. Sergio was always available when we needed something ... Come and see the place!

Great view with magical sunset.

The apartment with it's beautiful view to the sea and Palermo shore ist just amazing. It is very well equipped and provided everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Sergio was the nicest host, provided us with useful tips and was there for us whenever we could use some advice. His kindness, the high comfort of the flat and the pure beauty of it's location made our vacation an unforgettable experience.

Despite some amazing pictures, they still do not display the beauty of the views and surroundings of Villa Acqua Chiara Mare! Giacomo was a tremendous host who even drove into Bagheria to lead us to the Villa when our GPS us failed us. The Villa provides nearly 180 degrees of sea view with the sounds of waves crashing along the cliffside below. Nearby Aspra provides pizzarias, markets, and other needs within walking distance. We are already planning our next trip back.

Villa Acqua Chiara Mare is a fantastic apartment, set on the hillside overlooking the bay. My girlfriend and I spent 9 great days here. The apartment is clean, has great aircon and wifi. Sergio is a brilliant host and offered his assistance throughout our stay. And the views of the sunset are picturesque. The stairs down to the sea can be quite steep, but the water is great way to cool off after spending the day exploring Sicily. Thank you Sergio for a great stay and a relaxing holiday.

It was a pleasure to stay at the Villa acqua chiara "mare". The view is fantastic and giacomo a helpful and friendly host. i would definitely recommend to stay at the Villa. the only little thing we missed was a good working shower. in order to have suitable sanitary facilities (also the wather tap of the lavabo is not well working) he probably should check them more often. nevertheless thank you very much for all, giacomo.

L'appartement est très bien situé, assez proche de l'aéroport et de Palerme tout comme de l'autoroute (sans pour autant que cela soit gênant) ce qui facilite grandement les déplacements en voiture (qui peut être garée à l'intérieur de la propriété). Sur les hauteurs de Bagheria, il bénéficie d'une terrasse avec une vue absolument magnifique sur le golf de Termini Imerese (les levers de soleils !) au premier étage de la maison de Lucrezia. Il est de plus très bien équipé (refait à neuf depuis peu), spacieux et totalement indépendant du reste de la maison. Lucrezia s'est avéré être une hôte remarquable, disponible, très serviable et dont les conseils ont été avisés. En bref, vous l'aurez compris, nous sommes absolument ravis de notre séjour et ne pouvons que recommander ce logement.

La casa che la signora Lucrezia mette amorevolmente a disposizione dei suoi ospiti è fantastica. Raggiungibile comodamente dall'autostrada ma sufficentemente appartata, è sicuramente un'ottima base per effettuare gite di piacere nel Palermitano. Grande, comoda ed accogliente, offre una vista mozzafiato per momenti di puro relax. Io e mia figlia abbiamo trascorso un fine settimana fantastico soprattutto grazie alla cortesia ed alla disponibilità della signora e di suo marito.

We had A very Nice time at mer er soleil, fabian was very friendly and helpfull, we Will recommand this place to our friends

Un buen lugar para disfrutar de la costa norte. De ahí te puedes desplazar a diferentes lugares de interés (Palermo, Cefalù, ...)

Casa bellissima e pulita. Facile da raggiungere e comoda per molti punti di interesse. Se si è intenzionati a cucinare spesso in casa non molto pratica...

Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit - jederzeit erreichbar. Nebenan wohnt die Mutter und die Schwester, die jederzeit erreichbar sind und ebenfalls sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit sind. Meine Kinder haben sich zwei kleine Katzen im Urlaub gekauft - und der Gastgeber hat sofort auf meine Nachricht geantwortet, ob wir die Katzen behalten dürfen. Er hat den Kindern den Wunsch erlaubt und sogar noch nützliche Informationen erteilt. Es war mein erster Urlaub mit den Kindern alleine, wir haben uns sehr wohl und sicher gefühlt. Sobald ich die Möglichkeit habe wieder Heim zu fahren werde ich auf jedenfall bei Antonino nachfragen.

Vittoria is a wonderful guest and the villa is the most incredible place we've seen in Sicilia. The historic character of the place made our stay even more attractive. Hannah & César

Mr. Kinloch and his wife are exceptionally nice host. They invited us for dinner twice. And they even borrowed us their children's toys. Nedless to say the place is lovely. A rare treasure. It breathes history in every square meter. Definitely worth a visit!

Kinloch is an exceptional host. As we were making our way to his beautiful property from Catania in the evening, me and my boyfriend discovered that the regional roads and the motorway were closed for roadworks. Kinloch was able to direct us over the phone and despite the ungodly hour of our arrival after all these adventures (midnight), he even came to pick us up as we entered Bagheria so that we don't get lost. The accommodation is beautiful and exactly as described. Whilst it is not a part of the wonderful Villa Valguarera per se, Kinloch was kind enough to show us around and talk to us about the history of the house over coffee. Wonderful host, beautiful venue.

Marco and Antea make a charming couple for a charming home. Both were very welcoming and responded kindly to every question we had prior to arriving. Upon arrival we instantly fell for Villa Valguarnera and can only, politely of course, say that the pictures don't do it justice. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here, especially if you enjoy the charms of historically rich houses and their families.

Cette maison respire la beauté, la sérénité et la gentillesse des propriétaires! Que de merveilles à découvrir et à sentir à chaque instant dans ce site admirable.
