Dear Roberto and Antonella, Grazie Grazie Grazie! We thoroughly enjoyed our week at your spectacular property. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The location was perfect for day trips to Noto, Modica, Taormina, Mt. Etna, etc and then come back to cool off at the pool. Thank you for your amazing hospitality!
Dear Roberto and Family, thank you so much for your fantastic home, we had an amazing stay! Besides the fabulous house and it surroundings, the kids loved the nide with Roberto's car in the garden. Grazie mille per tutto!
What a fabulous place to both relax and take in the amazing history and culture of Sicilia. In ten days we have barely scratched the surface of this very special island. Great hosts, lots of added touches we've not had elsewhere.
This villa is central to many different towns, food, and beaches. The villa is stunning, pool is perfect. Many different areas to have dinner, read, and relax. Hosts were wonderful and accessible when you needed them. Would absolutely return and recommend.
Vi havde en dejlig uge i dette smukke hus. Huset ligger på en fantastisk grund med masser af muligheder for badning og leg. Vi nød vores måltider i det skønne lille hus lige ved poolen. Huset er smukt indrettet og meget rent og lækkert. Vi passede ejernes 3 katte der var meget sociale og elskede at være tæt på os. Huset ligger på landet og der er køer tæt på, dette kan man mærke både på duften og en del fluer. Men det smukke sted opvejer dette.
E' stato un privilegio poter trascorrere una settimana in un posto così. La cortesia e la disponibilità di Roberto e Antonella ci hanno fatto sentire a casa. La casa è perfetta, così come il giardino, lo spazio della piscina e tutte le aree esterne sono curate nel minimo dettaglio. Ci torneremo sicuramente.
casa fantastica, attrezzata benissimo sia dentro che fuori. Livello di pulizia impeccabile ed accoglienza davvero fantastica. Ci torneremo se dobbiamo andare di nuovo in Sicilia
Wonderful property, house and pool. Very nice owners. Perfect location for short trips to the coast, Modica, Ragusa, Noto. Excellent restaurants around.
The villa was even more beautiful than the pictures - a perfect paradise! Roberta, Antonella and the family warmly welcomed us and nothing was too much trouble - their kindness and generosity was amazing. The villa, pool and gardens were incredible - every single thing you could need was provided, immaculately presented and extremely clean. We cannot praise the villa highly enough, an amazing holiday with fabulous hosts. We will be back - and next time for longer!
A wonderful villa and an idyllic garden and a warm welcome, what more could anyone hope for. We have enjoyed the pool and the garden. We loved your garden so green, even in August. I forever hope we all come back.
A big \"grazie\"" for the unforgettable stay in the villa. We spent a lovely week full of discoveries and lovely moments. The owners contributed with their kindness and always being there to help. They're the best! Abbiamo adorato la Sicilia
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour en Sicile et surtout très agreable dans votre superbe maison. Merci pour votre acceuil très chaleureux (ansi que tous les siciliens). Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
Thank you very much for a wonderful week in your beautiful home - it's such a treasure! We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt so relaxed - just perfect! We enjoyed time together in the garden, pool, basketball court and swinging in the hammocks. We enjoyed days out in Noto, Modica, Pozzallo, Marzamemi and Ragusa. We would love to return next year for more! Thanks for the lovely welcome and all the special touches, delicious food and drinks - such a treat!
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the villa. It was wonderful to be able to visit Noto and Modica. We particularly enjoyed the baroque architecture but nothing could beat relaxing by the pool and reading. Now the food... we really liked exploring the different supermarkets and learning Italian. The produce was so fresh and delicious! We enjoiyed eating pizza in town but loved cooking in this wonderful villa. We very much hope to come back!
What a beautiful villa for exceeded our expectations as did the generous gifts of food. Really enjoyed seeing the area, swimming, visiting towns, lovely meals and a trip to Etna.
We had a wonderful time in the villa. Thank you for the warm welcome and all the extras. The villa is perfect, good beds, lovely swimming pool, breakfast in the sun.. We would love to come back!
We had a really wonderful time. We enjoyed the pool, the barbecue, the pizza oven as well as the fireplace. Thanks also for all the little gifts and the warm welcome. Some highlights of our trip to Sicily: - hiking on top of the Etna, - visiting calamosche beach, - the beautiful town of Ragusa, - the ice cream of the caffeteria Giunta (in Rosolini).
We had a really wonderful stay at the villa. The villa is perfect - the setting is beautiful. Thank you so much for such a warm welcome and all two kitchens you have shown during our stay. Our first time in Sicily and we loved it and look forward a return visit.
Our family of four adults spent a memorable two weeks at the villa. The spacious and immaculate house and property were all that we could hope for and even better than the photos could capture. There were many outdoor areas around the house and pool to relax,read,and enjoy the scenery. The house is centrally located in beautiful southeastern Sicily and truly a gem. The owners, Roberto and Antonella, warmly welcomed us and made sure we sampled a variety of Sicily\\'s culinary specialties. We highly recommend a stay at the beautiful villa!
Es ist eine große Villa auf einem wunderschönen privaten Anwesen. Alles ist sehr gepflegt und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Ich schwimme gern und hier ist ein Pool vorhanden, der so groß ist, dass ich mich wirklich austoben konnte. Die Besitzer sind außergewöhnlich herzlich und aufmerksam. Innerhalb einer Stunde sind mit dem Auto sowohl schöne Strände, als auch UNESCO Weltkulturerbestädte zu erreichen. Wir machen seit 20 Jahren in Italien in Ferienhäusern Urlaub und die Corte Moscata ist unser absoluter Favorit. Wir waren bereits dreimal hier und kommen nächstes Jahr wieder. Vielen Dank an Roberto und Antonella!
I think the main bedroom would benefit from an ensuite, only 1 shower in the main house for 6 proved to be difficult. The kitchen really needs an oven\/grill (not just the microwave) otherwise beautiful villa.
There is so much to like and to enjoy about this villa: location close to the amazing baroque cities, luxury, tranquillity and the wonderful swimming pool. What made this holiday extra special was the unforgettable warm and genuine welcome from the owners Roberto and Antonella.
Just back from a fantastic 2 week holiday at this property. We have been booking villa holidays for many years and this villa rates as one of the best, if not the best we have stayed in. The house, garden, amenities and facilities, outdoor space, pool etc all outstanding. Also as previous reviewers have noted the hosts (Roberto and family) are exceptionally welcoming and very quick to respond to any questions. We would highly recommend this property and this part of SE Sicily, with its fantastic towns and beaches as a place for a great family holiday. I hope that we will be able to return soon!
...a fantastic cottage with excellent service.
This is our second year returning to Roberto and Antonella's lovely home. Everything was just perfect and the kids loved it too. Grazie Mille. We hope to return again next year.
everything was very good! Many thanks to Antonella and Roberto
This is one of the best villas we've ever stayed in. It has been carefully designed to provide lots of flexible space, with a variety of different places to sit at different times of the day, giving you lots of opportunities to enjoy the lovely secluded situation, among some truly amazing olive trees. The inside of the house is spacious and stylish and well equipped. There is a huge amount of outside space, perfect for children to run around, but with nice quiet spots for adults to retreat to as well. We all loved the big pool and the shady hammocks. This area of Sicily is really lovely, within 30 minutes drive are a large number of lovely Baroque towns which are lovely to stroll around. Children will love the caves, which are only 10 minutes away by car. What sets this villa apart from many others is the owners. On arrival there is a very generous welcome pack, which includes lots of lovely local things, as well as useful provisions too. All round a great place!
Siamo stati benissimo e la casa è stata assolutamente oltre le nostre aspettative. Siamo andati in molti appartamenti e case in tutta Europa, ma eccoci qui in cima! Il giardino, la piscina e la griglia sono la ciliegina sulla torta. Se avete bambini e\/o adulti che desiderano un ambiente dotato di tutti i comfort, questa villa fa al caso vostro. Antonella e Roberto sono molto gentili e disponibili. La villa è in una posizione tranquilla e strategica, e in 30 minuti si possono raggiungere quasi tutte le spiagge e diversi paesi\/città come Marzamemi, Sicli e Siracusa. Consiglieremo sicuramente ad amici e parenti questa dimora. Per chi decide di venire in questo località in agosto consigliamo di raggiungere le spiagge il prima possibile, perché si riempiono molto rapidamente o andate verso Marina di Ragusa. Infine non guardate le coordinate GPS, perché il navigatore vi porta su una strada sbagliata, girate alla prima a DX dopo il cartello CAVAPARK sulla strada che porta da Rosolini a Modica.
We spent two lovely weeks at the villa and we did not perceive our stay as holidays at a holiday home, we felt like being guests at a friend´s home. Sicily and your house are really a great experience, but the Sicilians, especially the Micieli family, make it so special. The villa is a gorgeous cottage, with lots of great places for dreaming, reading, swimming, playing games, just to relax. Everything is furnished with great taste, whether in the house or in the garden, really nothing is lacking. This year we have been visiting Sicily for the third time, it is determined not to be our last, and we would love to come back to this villa.
Wir haben eine sehr schöne und erholsame Urlaubswoche in der Villa verbracht. Das Haus ist ausgesprochen gepflegt und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Grundstück liegt ruhig und ist sehr weitläufig. Die Betreuung vor Ort durch die Eigentümer war ausgezeichnet. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
A truly perfect wonderful villa in a very quiet setting. It is a lovely space to relax and enjoy the environment.
Very nice house, furnished with taste. we specially like the work the owner did on the lights. The swimming pool was great and the garden magnificent. there is some really beautiful olives trees. Roberto and his wife are really nice people, really helpful and make you feel at home. This house is a must.
‘WOW’ Not only is this the most stunning place we have ever stayed in but we also had the most attentive & kind hosts we could ever have wished for. In every way, this villa fulfilled our requirements, from the lovely pool, beautiful bedrooms, right down to the fantastic seating areas & the exquisite lighting inside & out! The villa is spacious & very well equipped with nice little touches everywhere. A fantastic welcome package awaited us, local food to try & all the essentials we needed. We were extremely well looked after by Roberto & Antonella & had the most fantastic holiday. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, you will not be disappointed. Love this place, will be back. ’Perfetto’ Finding the villa, you have to trust the directions & distances given & when they say take the final turning, it looks like you are going through someone's driveway. A sign at the turning would help.
We had a wonderful stay at this villa, can't fault anything. Roberto and his family were so accommodating and helpful. The property was just perfect. We only had a problem finding the villa as the directions and google map link was not correct. So I do suggest this is updated. We will definitely go back again next year all being well.
I stayed at this villa with my wife and new-born baby recently and we had a fantastic time. We had a wonderful welcoming by Roberto and his family whom laid on a very special welcome pack of food treats for us and we generally felt very well looked after. The property was of an exceptional standard - all of the interior and exterior features were of first class standard. Roberto and his family were very helpful at all times and helped us find the best places to eat and visit. I would thoroughly recommend visiting Corte Moscata and expect we will return in years to come. Overall an excellent holiday stay and luxurious villa! Bravissimo!
The house, the pool, the location...everything is fine (just a little bit difficult to find). Thanks to Mr Roberto (keyholder) for his kind hospitality !!
Thank you for your inquiry! We'll be in touch soon.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us! Your pool was a God-send in the heat with those scaring temperatures! We very much enjoyed a few cool drinks in the bar area. All the best! X
