Fantastic accommodation, great hospitality, lovely town

Could not fault the apartment, with a terrrace, generous rooms, and everything we could need. It was spotless, and perfectly situated in the heart of the old town. Rita and her son were SO helpful, and attentive. Just perfect.

Atmospheric Mazzarino

The apartment was delicious, tasteful, classy and comfortable, and right in the centre of the town. Mazzarino is a lovely welcoming place. There are great shops, a good market each week, a local outdoor swimming pool, quirky little streets, with bars and restaurants. For such a small town it is a bustling place with lots going on. Rita, who owns the apartment, is the loveliest hostess you could ever imagine meeting. Full of excellent advice, suggestions and care she made our week-long stay seem far too short. She made us feel very welcome and was great ambassador for Mazzarino and Sicily. There are some lovely towns and coastline within 3/4 - 1 hour drive - such as Piazza Armerina, Caltagirone and the beach at Mollarella. The whole area is stunning to drive around and while the roads are tricky, they are no worse that anywhere else in Sicily. Rita suggest a couple of restaurants in Mazzarino which were fantastic and we would recommend them too, Canttina Di Bacco and Tentazioni. All in all, a great place to stay and a good loaction to visit other parts of Sicily. We hope to return soon. Tom and Eva, Birmingham

The apartment was tidy with many thoughtful additions to help the visitor become knowledgeable to all that Sicily has to offer. Some cooking supplies helped us so we were not pressured to go out immediately upon our arrival. The pictures are a good likeness however it seems more spacious and has a good fresh breeze which you appreciate in a warm country. Also refreshing was the strong shower with good hot water (much better than our Palermo hotel!)The view from the terrace was of the typical tiled rooftops and swallows darting. The relaxing sounds of summer.In the local area I was impressed with the architecture which while off the tourist trail was still of merit and I believe will be less of a secret in the future. Not a touristic area but, 'the salt of the earth' people and genuine Sicily. L'appartamento era ordinato, con molte aggiunte incredibili per aiutare il visitatore diviene consapevole di tutto ciò che la Sicilia ha da offrire. Alcune forniture di cottura ci hanno aiutato in modo che non hanno subito pressioni per andare subito al nostro arrivo. Le immagini sono una buona somiglianza però sembra più spaziosa e ha una buona brezza fresca che si apprezza in un paese caldo. Anche rinfrescante era la doccia forte con acqua calda (molto meglio il nostro albergo Palermo!) La vista dalla terrazza era dei tipici tetti in cotto e rondini guizzanti. I suoni rilassanti del summer.In zona locale sono rimasto impressionato con l'architettura che, mentre fuori dal sentiero turistico era ancora del merito e credo che sarà meno di un segreto per il futuro. Non è una zona turistica, ma, 'il sale della terra' persone e genuina Sicilia.

We have just enjoyed a wonderful holiday at Rita and Rino's place in peaceful Mazzarino. The accommodation was very well equipped with everything we needed for a quiet and relaxing holiday. Mazzarino is in the heart of the island which makes for a great base to travel around and see a lot of the island as we did. Rita and Rinowere very friendly and are there for you at any time if you need them, they live close by. We would definitely recommend Mazzarino for someone who wants peace and quiet in a home from home on a wonderful island.

appartement conforme et bien situé

je suis originaire Sicilien. bel appartement, avec une grande terrasse. situé en centre ville. vous n'êtes pas loin de la mer, d'Agrigento (temples Grecs) , Piazza Armerina (villa Romana delcasale), Caltagirone ...., J'ai petit déjeuné quasiment tout les matin à Ariston Dolci à quelques pas de l'appartement. j'ai passée deux semaines agréables. La discrétion des propriétaires que j'ai apprecié et aussi l'intérêt de que portait Concetta pour mon confort durant mon séjour. je recommande vivement cet appartement.

Stayed 16 nights in Aug 2020
