Closest beach: Golden beach, 600 meters
Closest market: Small grocery, 500 mt - Seccagrande, 2 km (supermarket)
Closest restaurant: Borgo Bonsignore village, 500 mt
Closest town: Borgo Bonsignore village, 500 mt - Ribera, 6 km
Closest airport: Palermo, 80 km - Trapani, 80 km
Closest hospital/medical center: Ribera, 6 km

We are in an area of Sicily which includes wonderful beaches, some of which repeatedly awarded with the Blue Flag as the cleanest and sustainable beaches in Sicily.

The villa is located in Borgo Bonsignore, a small village built in the early XX century for agricultural purposes.

These borghi (literally: small villages), nowadays still visible in Sicily, had a similar architectural design: the main square with the church, the school, the post office, the police station and a building used both as market and common hall; and, all around, the small houses of the farmers.

Ribera is worldwide renowned for its oranges and strawberry (fragoline di Ribera)

Just 500 meters from Borgo Bonsignore here it is the stunning Naturalistic Reserve of the Platani river.

At the mouth of the river begins one of the nicest and goldest beaches of Sicily.

Just 15 kms away there is the renowned golf court of Verdura.

Agrigento with its temples (Unesco's) is 40 km’s away.

50 kms and here there are the Cave di Cusa (photo) a stone quarry misteriously abandoned in 409 B.C.

Here you can still see the rows of the columns destined to the Selinunte sacred temples!

« Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans la villa. La vue est tout simplement spectaculaire !!

La plage se situe à proximité de la villa et est très propre. La piscine est parfaitement entretenue, les enfants se sont éclatés.

Nous avons apprécié le calme et la tranquillité qu’offre cette maison.

Nous avons été très bien accueillis et avons apprécié les petits présents offerts à notre arrivée.

Nous recommandons à 100% cette villa !! »

We had such a great time.Our first time in Sicily, such a beautiful island.
The house, the view, the pool, the beach it couldn't be better.Thank you so much for your hospitality. Yakup family

The start was very good with a 4 persons checking us in, we feels very welcome and loved the fresh food, local jam and olivenolie we Got. The House it self are amazing, very privat and secluded. Pool area was used a lot. Wifi and all other stuff worked very Well, nothing to complain about. The city itself do not have so much to offer, a very small grocey shop just 100 meters away but nothing Els. The Beach are nice but a little stony, a short drive are better 100% sand beaches. The view from the House and the Outdoor area are second to none, you have 180 degres view of the Beach! The Sunset was amazing, so quiet and beuatiful. We cannot wait to be back!

Tre settimane intense,volate via come fossero stati tre giorni. Grazie per la bellezza del luogo e per la vostra gentilezza.
Francia
Che bellissimo posto! Una vista meravigliosa e solo i rumori della natura: il mare, le cicale,... et les grillons la nuit.
Evidemment, cela donne envie de rester plus longtemps.
grazie per tutto

We loved this beautiful hideaway overlooking the ocean. We spent most of our time outdoors on one of the beautiful terraces or in the pool. The property is arranged so that you always have a choice of sun or shade. It was a delight to eat dinner to a beautiful sunset and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Silvana was just lovely and speaks perfect English.

Fantastic week!
The house is perfect: well equipped with superb views and absolute quiet.. very beautiful part of Sicily offering amazing beaches, great temples and villages in the mountain. And if this were not enough we could enjoy excellent Sicilian food with fish, fish and fish again...we loved it.
This holiday was unforgetable!

Ho letto più volte la descrizione della sua villa e non mi sembra di aver trovato alcuni importanti avvertimenti.
Non ho trovato menzionato il "rischio" di potersi lasciare incantare dal frinire delle cicale di giorno e quello di grilli la sera mentre la luna si specchia in questo splendido maree lo sguardo e la mente si perdono e si perdono...Nessuna traccia del "rischio" di potersi abbandonare allo SCRUSCIO DU MARE come direbbe il vostro Camilleri, alla riserva sottostante che regala frescura nei caldi pomeriggi, al panorama del mare che si perde al vista d'occhio, alle stelle alla bellezza tutta dei tramonti.
Quindi attenzione! Crea dipendenza!
Infinitivamente grazie!
Un grazie enorme alla premura della Sig.ra Betty,che sembra di conoscerla da sempre e alla gentilezza e grande disonibilità degli amici Silvana e Nicola che ci hanno fatto sentire coccolati nella splendida, meravigliosa e confortevole villa

We have had an excellent two weeks here - wonderfully well looked after by the owners - and for much of the time have been more than happy finding the shade for reading, swimming in the pool or dropping down to the beach for a swim. We also enjoyed a walk in the wood of the nature reserve next to the beach. Also locally we enjoyed excellent pizzas at the Gallo d'Oro in the little square of Borgo Bonsignore.
And of course, the sunsets have been magnificent!

We stayed for a week in the wonderful villa and had the most relaxing stay we could have possibly had!The pool area is divine, the villa itself is lovely and the outside arealends itself perfectly to chilled evenings playing cards.We walked down from the villa to 2 beaches - one to the left which is great for a lazy day by the sea. Other things we recommend are visiting the Valley of the Temples and also Scala dei Turcgi - this is breathtaking but make sure to go early, we arrived at 9 and it was quiet, but 10:50 it is absolutely packed.
Than you so much to Angela and Giovanni for making our stay so special
