"In May we spent nine days in Sicily. We were guests in the Borgo delle Olive in the Biancolila apartment. We stayed there with our two children Isabel (7) and Jasper (3). At the same time they were more Dutch couples with young children in the Borgo. Thanks to the kids we made friends with everyone else very fast. At the end of the afternoon when everyone had done his own program, we all met near the pool.

For the kids the pizza workshop was the highlight of the week. Soon we will try and make our own pizzas in Holland using the recipe we've got during the workshop.

We want to thank you for the wonderful week and for helping us with the recovery of our suitcase that was lost during our stopover in Rome! Your personal attention and advice during this week was for us really the icing on the cake!

Greetings and hope to see you again,

Arjen, Esther and the children"

"A few months ago we rented the Cerasuola apartment in the Borgo del Olive. Previously we sent some emails and had quick answers to our questions about the location, presence of other children, view from the borgo etc.

When the Ryanair flight schedule was changed (one day earlier than planned from Eindhoven to Trapani and back one day earlier) a phone call to on-sicily.com was enough: within five minutes everything was solved. We found your service and helpfulness exceptional and it was clear that you spend a lot of time making sure everything runs smoothly.

Wonderful accommodation. Lovely swimming pool (where the kids spent most of their holiday). Many other playmates for our children (and thus forus the opportunity to read a few books, relaxing by the pool). And we loved our trips to Erice, San Vito lo Capo and Favignana.

Brioche with ice cream so big that you can feed whole family with it. Delicious Sicilian ricotta and cakes (cannolo and cassata siciliana). And always good coffee.

In short: a wonderful holiday which we would like to repeat someday!"

"Our holiday in Sicily was wonderful (August 1 to 12 2010). For the first time we went with the whole family a little further than France, we did a little more than camping. The children (22, 20, 18, 16.) had to choose and it was easy: it should be Sicily. After a few e-mails with Laura and Martijn, regarding both the apartment and two rental cars, we went for the Cerasuola Appartamento in the Borgo dell Olive, in Balestrate.

Beautiful, big house, plenty of room, nice location, nice garden, beautiful swimming pool, all very neat and clean, very friendly people, everything we dreamt of.

Our holiday was not long enough to be able to do and see the things mentioned in the information package that we received from Laura and Martijn via mail and on arrival. We already know that we will return. The fun and tasty restaurants, agriturismo's and workshops were fantastic.

We have enjoyed it.!

Kind regards,
Willy, Myriam, Joost and Joke, Josfien, Jolien and Joren."

"Dear Laura and Martin,

For the school holidays, our children are now 3 and 5 years old, this year we decided to go on holiday in May. The choice soon fell on Sicily and because of your website and quick responses we ended up booking an apartment in the Borgo delle Olive. Once we arrived we were very impressed by the Borgo. Especially our amazing bedroom suite was great.

For children, the holiday was excellent. Lisa still does not understand why people want to live in The Netherlands, because "Sicily is so much better ...". Of course, the pool was a big hit. The temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees were great and because the temperatures at night were a little lower, we could sleep well.

We have made many trips and enjoyed the diversity of the island. Highlights were definitely the nature, visits to Segesta, but we in particular we all loved the beach of San Vito lo Capo. Besides this, we certainly will remember the pizza workshop!

For us it is clear that we definitely want to go back again to this beautiful island. We only hope that we will be able to find such a location and organization again.

Thanks for everything,

Richard, Danielle, Lisa & Jasper"

"With pleasure we look back at our unexpected extended (five day more than planned, thanks to an Icelandic ash cloud) stay in Sicily in the Ogliarola apartment in the Borgo delle Olive.

We really liked the apartment where we stayed. It was tastefully decorated, had a large shower, a fully equipped kitchen and a small balcony where we enjoyed the sunshine in the morning while having breakfast. Thanks to you, your very good service, friendliness and hospitality, we really enjoyed our holiday.

We could recommend Sicily to everyone. The pizza workshop organized by you is highly recommended. Fun to do and enjoyable. Besides the beautiful island we miss the good food that we had (usually with you). And because we have not been to all the restaurants that you recommend we really need to return!

Of all the wonderful things we have seen in Sicily Riserva Naturale dello Zingaro impressed us the most. During an unexpectedly long walk of 4.5 hours instead of the expected 2 hours (which for a pregnant woman - 27th week - is not really a breeze), we really enjoyed the beautiful nature.

Our holiday in Sicily was super and relaxed. We would like to return.

See you soon!

Michel Sandra"

"Like a fairytale!

We had a wonderful stay in the tower apartment of the Borgo.
The hospitality of the owner was great as was the service and warmth of Laura & Martijn. Finding our own way is important to us, but it is nice to know that there are people ready to answer all your possible questions and who make sure your holiday is one without stress.

The stay at the Borgo was like a fairytale. What a beautiful location! A lovely pool, stylish, where you can have lost of fun. The garden and the apartments were so tastefully decorated! The area was beautiful and there was so much to see and to do: in Palermo pleasant atmosphere and shopping and the beaches from Lo Zingaro were worth it.

We had a fantastic holiday and we will definitely come back in one of the apartments of on-Sicily!"

"Dear Laura and Martin,

We too had a wonderful holiday in the Borgo delle Olive (apartment Verdello). The Borgo is a perfect place for a family with young children. A great pool, lots of other children and very tastefully designed and decorated apartments. Giuseppe and his wife (the owners) were also very helpful. We made many trips to cultural highlights of the island, we had great food and spent lots of time on the beach and by the pool.

Thanks for your help: your car rental with transfer from the airport was perfectly organized, the pizza workshop was fun and the lunch at the Agriturismo Tarantola is a real winner.

See you soon and good luck with your adventure in Sicily.

Sincerely,
Family Lens"
