Wonderful villa with views you cannot take your eyes off
The villa itself has all the mod cons you might expect - and a large pool for refreshing dips during the heat of the Sicilian sunshine. But the star of the show is the location and view. The views are truly far reaching, stretching to distant hills and mountains - down to valleys - and across to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands beyond. My camera is now full of photos of the beautiful sunsets - with glorious colours as the sun sank over the sea. Nearby to the villa is the pretty hilltop village of Castroreale with a couple of bars and restaurants - and mini markets for the bare essentials. The nearest large supermarkets are around a 20-25 minute drive down the mountain roads. Initially the approach roads seemed a challenge - but we soon learned to enjoy the hairpin bends and numerous gear changes - great fun :-) Lastly we have to thank Marco, the owner and booking manager - who handled our questions and was a great source of information about the villa and local area...And a special mention for Guiseppe, Marco's uncle, who lives within a couple of hundred metres of the villa and is always on hand for anything you might need. A kind and generous man - speaks very little English - but has a PHD in the use of Google Translate !

Its an attractive and well maintained property in an excellent location.
We were made to feel at home and couldn't have been happier with the welcome we received from Marcos's uncle Giuseppe.
They were always on hand with useful information on the area and would always be available if needed.
The villa is situated in a lovely spot close to all the amenities you will require but far enough away giving you peace and quiet.
If we were to holiday again in Sicily we would't have any hesitation in staying there again.

Beautiful views and location !
We are a family of 6, with 4 children aged 13,12,10 and 6 . The children really enjoyed using the pool every day and it was a spacious, well equipped villa. The spectacular views felt very luxurious and all for a very reasonable rental price. Lots of interesting places nearbye to visit or else just relax every day !

Beautiful villa with swimmingpool and stunning view
We had a wonderful time at this gorgeous villa. It's exactly like the photos. It's got everything you need. Including a beautiful swimming pool and the beautiful view and sunsets. Marco was very helpful and so was his uncle as they helped us stay there at a very short notice. We informed about the villa in the morning and were already welcome the same day. Thank you very much!

Beautiful villa with astonishing views
I had an amazing week with my girlfriend. This location is perfect as it is close to the mountains and surrounded by unique rural villages. The simplicity is the most beautiful thing about this location. I really recommended this location if you wish to escape from the city life and enjoy fresh air, good food and amazing views.

Spectacular!!!
Villa Mali was an amazing place to spend my honeymoon. It is an oasis surrounded by culture, friendly people and great food!
The decor of the villa is traditional with a modern twist. It has a homely feeling that made the stay even more relaxing. It is a very well kept and clean. The landscape surrounding the the villa is magical and made our evening strolls memorable.
The owner were very delightful and friendly, they gave us amazing advice on where to go place to see. This gave us a taste of the culture which was spectacular.
This is wonderful location for a memorable holiday, I almost miss the feeling of the villa and am sure that I will return! :)

Mooie compleet uitgeruste villa met een prachtig ( verwarmd ) zwembad. Kinderen en kleinkinderen hebben er van genoten. We waren er in de laatste week van oktober 2022. De woning ligt hoger. Een mooi uitzicht over de omgeving , de zee en de Eolische eilanden . Het contact met Marco ( de verhuurder) via whatsapp was geweldig.

Wunderbar gelegenes Haus mit schöner Aussicht
Das Haus ist absolut sauber, gerĂ€umig und sehr gut ausgestattet. Es liegt auf einer Anhöhe mit Blick auf die Liparischen Inseln, in der NĂ€he des hĂŒbschen Ărtchens Castroreale.
Ein Highlight ist ohne Frage der beheizbare Pool, der uns und vor allem den Kindern Badespass auch Mitte Oktober ermöglicht hat.

Trevlig vistelse
Vacker utsikt, omgivning. Trevligt bemötande av husvÀrden.
Vi Àr vÀldigt nöjda med allt.
ViehÀttÀvÀ huvila sijaitsee nÀyttÀvÀllÀ ja rauhallisella paikalla kukkuloilla, kauniiden vuoristoteiden varrella. Aurinkoiselta ja erittÀin viihtyisÀltÀ uima-allasalueelta avautuu upea vuoristo- ja merinÀköala. Iltaisin saimme ihailla uskomattoman kaunista auringonlaskua sekÀ nauttia puutarhan lempeÀstÀ lÀmpötilasta illallista syöden.
Villa Malu on erittÀin siisti, hyvin varusteltu ja hyvin hoidettu huvila, jossa on laadukkaat kylpyhuoneet ja kaikki tarvittavat kodinkoneet. Turistiruuhkat ovat kaukana ja tunnelma on ihanan aito. PerheellÀmme oli tÀydellinen loma Sisilian auringon alla ja viihdyimme huvilalla erinomaisesti. Omistaja Marco oli erittÀin ystÀvÀllinen ja vastasi tehokkaasti kaikkiin ennakkokyselyihimme. MeitÀ huvilalla vastaanottaneet Giuseppe ja Santina olivat todella mukavia ja meillÀ oli ilo tutustua heihin.
Vahva suositus tÀlle mainiolle majoitukselle ja sen ainutlaatuiselle luonnonlÀheiselle sijainnille lÀhellÀ Castrorealen historiallista kylÀÀ!
