BAGLIO OF SANTA MARINA

A very special experience to stay in a home with such rich history.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bastione. This is a an old manor home full of Sicilian aristocratic history. The A/C worked well in all of the bedrooms and the kitchen/dining rooms were very well equipped for large dinners our family hosted. Alberto and his wife were so gracious from beginning to end. They were able to turn most of the double beds into singles at our request. He also gave us tons of information on local sites/beaches. (side note: Sayonara beach club was awful/rundown, but Lido La Fenice is just a few minutes further and it is really well-managed.) WiFi was spotty in a couple of rooms, but we managed my moving to another room. The downstair lounge converted easily into a 5th bedroom with A/C. The owners were very responsive to our text messages via What's App. Thank you, Alberto, for a wonderful stay! This is a large, beautiful house which can accommodate a very large extended family. You will want cars (parking is easy) as there isn't much to walk to.

It's a wonderful place situated close to Milazzo and only a few minutes drive to the coast. The villa easily accommodated 7 adults and 2 children. There is lots of space to roam around inside and outside, including a large terrace and garden. It's an interesting building with a lot of fascinating details that also offers all the modern facilities. The family running the villa were very friendly and helped us out whenver we needed it. Overall a highly recommended place to stay.

We had a fantastic family holiday at Sainte Maria, the space was a luxury. Spacious bedrooms, a wonderfully large and well equipped kitchen, several sitting rooms that we never used, 4 modern shower rooms equipped with hairdryers. The outdoor terrace is where we spent most of our time, relaxing, dining and BBQ. Internet. Our lovely hosts Martina and Alberto were just so welcoming and attentive , it was thanks to them that our holiday was so special. They gave us many places to visit, the best beaches and most importantly their favorite local food shops which we used daily. The beaches were only a quick car ride away and there was a different one for every day. This was definitely a five star house.
