MareinSicilia Dammusa Residence

Fabulous, very large, private terrace with great views. Lovely pool area and BBQ area. Staff helpful, efficient and friendly

Air con in living area only and was quite noisy.

This place is a Gem in heaven , the communication with the host is perfect and the lady who welcomed us was very friendly and helpful..... The rooms were very clean and modern and the pool area is very relaxing and nice , the whole place felt very safe especially with young children , I would highly recommend !

Our holiday was too short , surly book for longer next time.

Thanks to such a good host I discovered Sicily at its best. It was a pleasure to come back every day to a clean apartment with a spacious terrace to have dinner. The air conditioning was very useful and we were glad that it cooled both our bedrooms. We had understanding, support and good conditions.

I think we set ourselves up to have a great vacation, so we just didn't let certain little things get in our way.

Modern, lovely, comfortable and very clean all exactly as advertised

We loved our stay ............if you want to be picky, The Toaster did not work but not a problem there was an oven with a grill. I didn't like people around me smoking by the pool as they put them out in the hedge but it happens every where.

Location is very nice and quite. The villa grounds are very well-kept. The pool is fantastic, very comfortable and perfectly maintained. Big parking are inside the villa. Working air conditioning. Large deck. A very nice beach is a 15 minute walk away. The village of Donnalucata is fantastic, all what is needed for the holidays can be found there.

Kitchen could be better equipped. Overall it was quite decent, however it will be good to have more basic tools like cutting board or kettle. Also the case with trash bins is totally incomprehensible. Entire facility is closed behind the fence. No outsider can enter the area without knowing the gate code. So why all trash bins are closed with a padlock all the time. They are opened only in the evening, the day before the collection of specific waste.

- An employee greeted us on arrival and gave us an explanation. She was very nice. (even though she spoke only Italian and communication was complicated) - Bed was alright (especially compared to other similarly priced bnbs). - There was kind of a see view from the side of the balcony, but not at all as described in the website or on the photos. - The village near by was very useful and was accessible by car or on foot (10-15 min walk) - The village, donnalucata, is very authentic (aka super simple, not so tourist oriented) and has several coffees, 3 grocery stores, and a bakery the makes local pastries. (and an arancini shop of-course). - The area in general was very quiet and peaceful, slightly off the beaten path (especially at off\half-season)

- Major hot water \ water pressure issues - the entire apartment (it would seem it is the same for all of their apartments) is dependent on a tiny water heater with the capacity of a cooking pot. We had to wait about 30 min between showers for the water to re-heat, which is ridiculous. At one point the water heater just broke and as it could not have been fixed we were given a key to go shower in another apartment (which had the same tiny water heater). - The sea is close but the nice beaches \ restaurants are not a walking distance away, so most of the time to do anything else than going to the pool (when not to cold) or walking to the village grocery store - everything requires a car. - The pool was open but it is not heated or covered so it was not usable most of the time (we where there in mid May and it was to cold). - The place is clean, and pretty new, but very very basic. everything (furniture, appliances, etc) is cheep quality, and the kitchen is poorly equipped. (not even a proper knife for cooking). - All of the staff speaks only Italian so all communication is with google translate [we are fluent in several languages, so it's not only about english hehe] . (but they are nice and make an effort) - They asked us to fill in extra registration details even though we already paid on booking when doing the check-in (such as our fiscal number for example, which we refused to give), as it seemed quite strange and intrusive. - The place is adjacent to a pretty active road (main road leading to the nearby village), so the peace and quite is interrupted quite often by passing cars.

Swimming pool and table tennis. Spacious well equipped apartment

First 5 minutes of walk into town on quite busy road with no pavement and a lot of litter

Great place, great equipment. Very clean and pleasant. Very nice staff. Wonderful and clean pool.
