Beautiful villa in gorgeous settings
We stayed in villa Raffa with our family whilst we toured Sicily in mid August 2024. From the moment we checked in our host Giovanni made us feel very welcome and went through all logistics and attractions nearby. The villa itself was beautiful and in a great location only a few minutes drive from the beach. The pool was the highlight of our kid’s break especially it being salt water and without chlorine was a massive bonus for the little ones. The hot tub was not hot but the coldness of it was refreshing as it was so hot that it was a welcome treat. Again no chlorine was used which was great. However, what made our stay extra special was Giovanni’s hosting. He was always available, attentive and went out of his way to make us all feel welcome. Going as far as to bring us his homemade pesto and baking a lasagna with organic aubergines for the 8 of us. So yummy! I cannot thank him enough as he really did make our holiday extra special. Always laughing and joking around, what a great character. He really was a fantastic host with such a beautiful villa which allowed us all to relax and enjoy our much needed Sicilian holiday! Many thanks Giuseppina Urso

Loved our stay and great host
The villa is in need of some modernisation and decluttering. It was not clean in a number of rooms and smelled musty. It is also very dark Inside the property. However there was a modern sofa , good mattresses and a smart TV, so it was very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, with great coffee machine options. Could do with a knife sharpener or sharp knives. However the outside space with the pool and jacuzzi is really great. We loved eating outside. The host is lovely. He made us food on arrival. We also had a fantastic meal cooked by him for our friends birthday. which we paid for. The host is quite a personality as well as a trained chef! He was very kind to us and made it a special occasion. Food beautiful. I would say that the pricing needs to be more upfront in the booking information as there are additional costs in the house rules section such as 200euros for cleaning and additional electricity use cost. Overall I think it is value for money, but it would aid transparency to simplify the costings in the up front booking. Our electricity costs were 50 euro for 4 nights stay with only one night use in the jacuzzi for a hour. This was a discounted rate and we were only around the property at night. Go prepared to Cook at night because you would need to drive to restaurants. It is however a lovely place to spend time relaxing in the evening. The Accomodation was fantastically located to enjoy the beaches and boat trip around Zingaro Nature Reserve

Wonderful stay in Sicily with 5 star host
Giovanni is a very generous and naturally gifted host who has lived a fascinating life. He met us late at night when we checked in with a wonderful homemade Sicilian meal. He showed us where to buy local food introduced us to local people and even secured my family fresh fish at the harbour and cooked it for us. The villa is traditional Sicilian and was very spacious for 5 people complete with comfortable beds, a pool and hot tub. The villa is in a quiet area and was in a perfect location for day trips to wonderful beaches and scenery. If your looking for the best Sicilian hospitality I highly recommend!

highly recommend this well equipped, spacious, authentic villa in a stunning location
We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at Gulliver’s Nest. The villa is very well equipped and spacious and we loved the authentic Sicilian style. It was very clean and comfortable - very comfortable mattresses too which is important for a holiday. Giovanni is a very friendly host who did everything he could to make our holiday special. He provided an amazing lasagne and home made wine for when we arrived from the airport. Over the week he treated us to various Sicilian meals including homemade ravioli with stew and a superb sfincione - we felt we were getting a real slice of Sicily. He also took the time to teach us how to make carbonara one evening - it was a really fun evening and we are looking forward to recreating carbonara ourselves. The villa is in a wonderful location- very near to castellmare del golfo but also in easy reach of many beautiful places. We enjoyed a lovely boat trip to explore the coast, beautiful beaches, trip to Erice and Segesta. Giovanni was full of information about the area and helped us with our boat and car rental - he really tried to make our holiday easy for us. We highly recommend this place and hope to return one day to create more Sicilian memories.

Great house and location in Castellammare
We greatly enjoyed staying at this property. The house is spacious, well-appointed and comfortable but we especially enjoyed the pool and the shaded outdoor dining area where we would have breakfast and lunch and enjoy the magnificent views of the surrounding area and mountains. It is truly a beautiful property. The host Giovanni was very friendly and helpful with regard to both the house and things to do in the area. On top of that, he provided us with a delicious lunch (with local wine) on the day of our arrival. I had mentioned one of our daughters is on a gluten-free diet, so he made the pasta GF. Much appreciated. During the stay he also delivered a very tasty local style of pizza. The property is very convenient to the city, which we enjoyed even more than we anticipated, as well as to the beaches in San Vito Lo Capo and other local attractions. I would highly recommend this property and would stay here again if we have the good fortune to get back to Sicily.

Perfect Holiday Villa
Gulliver's Nest was one of the best villas we've stayed at because it was accommodating for 9 people and Giovanni was very willing to help. When we arrived, Giovanni provided dinner and fresh homemade wine. Not only was it delicious, but we felt like family. Giovanni went through everything in detail to ensure our trip was amazing. The views were beautiful and the pool and jacuzzi were refreshing amenities that promoted relaxation. The area is safe so there is no worry of theft and Giovanni was eager to answer any questions we had. The villa is close enough to the city for visiting, but far enough away that it's quiet. Giovanni was a gracious host and even provided dinner again on the last night of our stay. We had an amazing vacation that wouldn't have been possible without Gulliver's Nest. - Tiffany Wilkerson, Ben, Tally, Mario, Abigail, Audrey, Sudie, Alex, and Rowley P.S. Deposit has been given back

Trip of a Lifetime
Our stay at the Gulliver’s Nest Villa was one of the best experiences in our lives. We travel extensively and we wanted to try a Villa rather than a Hotel. This Villa is in one of the most beautiful areas in the world, surrounded by mountains and a spectacular view. Everything in our stay exceeded our expectations. The place is simply immaculate, secure and very comfortable. Everything you could possibly need is provided, full kitchen, comfortable beds, cable TV, swimming pool, Hot Tub and much more. We were welcomed by the owner, Giovanni Rappa with a spectacular home cooked meal that compared to the best of restaurants anywhere. The Villa is located near some of the most beautiful countryside that you can imagine. Your visit to Castellammare del Golfo will be treasured for a lifetime. Needless to say, I look forward to my return to this paradise. Thank you Giovanni for making our stay Perfect. John Gagliardi

Home away from Home
Our host Giovanni was the true gentleman and ensured everything throughout our stay went smoothly. A highlight of the week was his Sicilian supper which he served to us. It was beautiful and all the better when we received the background knowledge on the preparation of each dish. Giovanni proved to be a mine of information on all things local and even further afield. We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience in Sicily and found everything to be great value. The Sicilian people are truly laid back and welcoming also which makes it a wonderful place for kids. We shall return some day again in the future to enjoy once again this great country. Castlemare Del Golfo is a bit offputting with its steep hills and tiny streets especially when you've hired a car but it's so worth a visit as there is a wonderful atmosphere at night and great value in all the restaurants as well as being a beautiful little town.

Villa Gulliver’s Nest
La Sicile, île de toutes les beautés a toujours été pour moi et ma famille non seulemente une terre à explorer mais aussi une terre d’origine pour ma femme… Et pour y passer nos vacances, la chance nous a tournés vers une heureuse destination domiciliaire: La Villa Gulliver’s Nest, nid de voyageurs, et parfaite maison d'accueil pour une famille nombreuse comme la mienne pas seulement grâce à la structure mais aussi grâce au sourir jovial, hospitalier et accueillent de son propriétaire. En fait, à notre arrivée à Gulliver’s, le propriétaire nous a accueilli avec une belle boisson fraîche, chose inoubliable compte tenue de la haute température de ce jour là, et surtout avec un champagne de haute qualité, Prosecco italiano, et l’enchantemente était total…. Et comme nous sommes arrivés le soir, vers huit heure, le propriétaire nous a offert un dîner avec un excellent apéritif et “una lasagna” aux saveurs méditerranéens. Un dîner inattendu, professionnel et servi avec un bon service à table de telle en sort que nous avons demandé deux autres repas typique de la Sicile au “proprio” de Gulliver’s. Et selon moi , la cuisine à Gulliver’s ne se trouve nulle part ailleurs car le propriétaire offre des aliments biologiques, cultivés dans son propre jardin, et fait des plats antiques siciliens dont la saveur me revient au moment même où j'écris et dont je conseillerais à toute personne d’y goûter, si le propriétaire en offre la possibilité. En ce qui concerne la maison; elle était très grande, je dirais assez grande pour une grande famille, belle, propre jusqu’aux moindres détails et avec une assez large cuisine et tant d’autres belles choses que je ne saurais me mettre à citer ici… Et pour finir, j’aimerais démentir, ou du moins apporter une réserve à une précédente critique sur la Villa Gulliver’s, injuste, selon moi, et mensongère, qui dit “ la chambre du bas était puante, pleine de moustique, froide et bla bla bla…; cette “chambre puante” a en fait été celle que ma femme et moi avons choisi et je pense qu’elle était et est, toujours, toute aussi confortable belle et propre que toutes les autres ; et la dedans nous n’avions pas eu besoin de système de climatisation étant donné que la chambre selon moi était géothermique. Tout ceci pour enfin dire que la Sicile et surtout la Villa Gulliver’s Nest ont été pour moi et ma famille une merveille que, ici, je conseil aux éventuels touristes en Italie de visiter, et je pense aussi qu’elles

MY BEAUTIFUL HOMELAND. Gulliver's Nest What can i say Wow Wow !!! My father was born in Trapani therefore i have been to Sicily many many time.During my visits i usally stay in an apartment, on this occation due to my family (Daughter, Son in Law & Grandson ) comng with us we decided to rent a villa. GULLIVER'S NEST.. Wow - Wow - Wow - Wow - Wow So many villa's to choose from and we chose Gulliver's Nest. WHAT A PERFECT CHOICE. On arrival we were greeted by Giovani, whom i will now call Gio. I can say many words that can discribe Gio but I will say Two - True GENTLEMAN & True FAMILYMAN. Gio will make anyones stay at Gulliver's Nest the perfect stay. The Villa stands in it own grounds which is very secure and most of all very safe. I appreciated the Scillian traditional herritage of the villa, the decor of the villa reminded me of my childhood and brought back so many memories of my Grandmother. Entering the villa is like walking into someones home family portraits hang on the walls, everything about this villa was above our expectations. Everything was clean and tidy, there is everything in the villa you will need to live very comfortably. During our stay i asked Gio if he minded if i invited some of my family members to stay at the villa during the weekend, Gio embrased this suggestion with open arms and also suggested that we suprise them with an evening meal. All of our expectations were fulfilled in every way, not only was the meal Gio prepared for us of exceptional standard which would be expected from a 5 star retaurant he also waited on us ( 9 adults & 1 child ). No words could express what Gio did that evening . GIO YOU PLANTED VERY SPECIAL MEMORY IN THE HEARTS OF A VERY SPECIAL FAMILY WHICH WILL LAST MANY LIFE TIME. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. I only have one dissapointmnet i have got to go back to England, we will be leaving tommorow so bye bye my beautiful Sciliy i love you and will be back. Just a quick note to anyone that has not been to Sciliy visit Erice, Segesta & have a Cannoli.

Beautiful, clean, spacious, great views, nice location, very private.
The house was wonderful. Very comfortable and was great for our group of people. We were able to entertain and used the outside dining area a few times as well. Pool was nice to have even though we mostly went to the beach. Giovanni was a great host! He checked on us often and cooked delicious food for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Sicily and Gulliver's Nest was a big part of the reason we had such a fantastic vacation!

Un très bon séjour !
Très belle maison très bien équipée avec piscine sécurisée. Nous avons été très bien accueilli par Giovanni qui nous a fait profiter de petits plats locaux et des légumes de son jardin. Seul bémol au moment de la réservation car des frais supplémentaires (changement de l’eau de la piscine et consommation électrique) sont à régler à l’arrivée. Ces frais sont bien signalés par le propriétaire dans le règlement de la propriété mais ne sont pas affichés par Abritel au moment de la réservation alors que la taxe de séjour est bien mentionnée en paiement à l’arrivée. Il faut absolument que ces frais soient affichés au moment de la confirmation car le montant est non négligeable.

Soggiorno rilassante
È stata una settimana fantastica! Io e il mio gruppo di 10 ragazzi abbiamo passato del bel tempo insieme nella splendida località di Castellammare del Golfo in una casa che a portata di meno di 5 minuti d’auto aveva tutto: dai servizi alla spiaggia. Ci siamo convinti di affittare questa casa un po’ nell’ indecisione data da qualche critica che il proprietario, Giovanni, aveva avuto sotto quest’annuncio. Eppure ci sentiamo con forza di rimandarle tutte ai mittenti. Prima fra tutto l’ospitalità che ci ha riservato Giovanni, senza mai sfociare nell’invadenza: d’altronde con lui i patti sono chiari se non lo si disturba per sciocchezze lui non ha motivo di fare altrettanto e non ha mai disatteso a queste premesse, in più ci ha offerto degli sfincioni e un pesto particolarmente buoni che andrebbero sicuramente riprovati. L’acqua della piscina e della Jacuzzi al nostro arrivo erano cristalline, e anche se nei giorni successivi abbiamo avuto bisogno di un intervento per pulirle, Giovanni è sempre stato a disposizione per ristabilire le condizioni ottimali. In generale, comunque, c’è da dire che la pulizia della casa era impeccabile, non abbiamo trovato traccia di sporco in nessuna parte di essa. Anche il deposito cauzionale è stato restituito in tempi quasi record, dopo un giorno abbiamo già ricevuto la notifica del bonifico. Unica nota dolente per la casa, ma non per il proprietario è quella del frigorifero: al nostro arrivo Giovanni ci ha mostrato con estrema onestà come fosse stato danneggiato da inquilini precedenti e come non raffreddasse in maniera ottimale, e quindi ci siamo un po’ dovuti arrangiare, senza particolari problemi. Insomma 5 stelle ci sembrano anche poche, ma purtroppo, non possiamo darne 6! 😁

Nice house but too many extra expenses
The pool and outdoor area is as described and the area with mountainview is very beautiful. We a had a great week in Gullivers nest, but we were not happy about all the ekstra money we had to pay for ekstra cleaning and for power. We also had to pay ekstra for filling water in the spa even though we didnt use it. The kitchen lacks equipment for cooking and the power went on and off all the time. All in all we had a good holiday, but the price didn´t match the house.

La proprietà è perfetta per il soggiorno di famiglie e piccoli gruppi di amici. È accogliente, perfettamente pulita, spaziosa e si trova in un'ottima posizione per visitare la zona nord occidentale della Sicilia. È dotata anche di comfort extra e davvero apprezzatissimi, come vasca idromassaggio e piscina. Inoltre l'accoglienza impeccabile del sig.

Abbastanza confortevole
Tutto sommato la casa è confortevole, pur avendo alcune pecche, l’unica cosa che ha ammorbato la vacanza è stata l’ingerenza continua del proprietario: non passava giorno senza che entrasse o chiamasse per i più svariati motivi: sistemare i gradini, installare zanzariere, innaffiare le piante,… tutto ciò a discapito della nostra privacy e tranquillità. Dulcis in fundo, l’ultimo giorno ha chiamato alle 11 per avvisare che dovevamo lasciare la casa alle 13 anziché alle 15 (come ci eravamo accordati con un contratto scritto). Questo per effettuare delle riparazioni elettriche che negli ultimi tre giorni della vacanza ci avevano impedito di utilizzare uno dei bagni, la lavatrice e la lavastoviglie. Cose che capitano, per carità, ma sbatterci fuori in quel modo, entrando in casa mentre stavamo pranzando e chiedendoci per di più di raccogliere asciugamani e lenzuola in sacchi (cosa che ci siamo rifiutati di fare, avendo pagato 200 euro per le pulizie)…. Detto questo, analizziamo quelli che per noi sono gli aspetti positivi e negativi della struttura Aspetti positivi: - i materassi sono molto comodi e il circondario è estremamente silenzioso, per cui il riposo è assicurato. - Il bagno esterno con doccia, accanto alla piscina, è pratico e funzionale. - l’acqua, grazie ai serbatoi esterni, non è mai mancata Aspetti negativi: - una delle quattro camere si trova sotto alla casa, in una specie di cantina buia e piuttosto umida e per raggiungerla bisogna uscire dalla casa. Sarebbe il caso di specificare questo aspetto, per non creare aspettative fasulle che verranno poi disattese. - le immagini pubblicate rappresentano gli ambienti molto più grandi di quanto non siano in realtà

La casa è in punto strategico per visitare le località della zona occidentale della Sicilia. È dotata di molti confort quali parcheggio interno ombreggiato, Jacuzzi e piscina nonché un comodo tavolo e barbecue per poter gustare la cena all’aria aperta. Giovanni si è dimostrato un ospite premuroso e attento alle nostre esigenze e ci ha accolti in maniera impeccabile. La casa l’abbiamo trovata pulita e igienizzata e i letti profumavano… Giovanni ci ha portato cibi locali da lui stesso preparati che ci hanno deliziato e fatto apprezzare appieno la cultura culinaria sicula. La Sicilia si presta a vacanze che permettono di immergersi nella culla della cultura italiana e permette escursioni marittime ineguagliabili. Per la qualità del servizio e della struttura consiglio GULLIVER’S NEST a chi vuole fare un tuffo nella cultura e nei paesaggi siculi. Fam Casarotto Massimo

Vacanza breve ma intensa con amici
Nel breve lasso di tempo di una settimana dedicata alla visita della parte occidentale della splendida Sicilia, abbiamo avuto modo di apprezzare la squisita ospitalità del Sig. Giovanni. Il villino messoci a disposizione è costituito da una parte interna con camere arredate con gusto e originalità che ripropongono accenni su epoche diverse sulla storia del posto e garantiscono buona fruibilità sopratutto per le eccellenti qualità dei materassi. la parte esterna dispone di una piscina, una jacuzzi e uno spazio dedicato a parcheggio. La posizione del villino è strategicamente favorevole ad un turismo itinerante che ci ha permesso, nei diversi giorni di vacanza, di raggiungere agevolmente le varie località di interesse culturale, storico, etnico e archeologico. IL posto si presta anche ad un tranquillo soggiorno; da consigliare.

8/10 Good

Our stay in Gullivers Nest
We have enjoyed our stay in Gullivers Nest, located in a quiet environment close to Castellamare. The house is spacious and we liked very much the big garden with the swimming pool. Gullivers Nest is an excellent starting point to explore north west Sicily. At arrival we needed to pay cash a deposit to owner which was refunded with deduction of the electricity consumption during our stay a few days after we returned home. The owner Giovanni Rappa is friendly and helpfull.
