We stayed at the villa with our baby and parents for a week in March. Positive points - the villa was indeed well appointed with working but slow wifi and appliances and the heating worked well especially for an old house (it was cold for March and quite damp). The owners were helpful and left wood for the fire and a nice cot for our baby. We shopped locally and were able to prepare some good food in the kitchen.
I think it's fair and helpful to point out (as a fit active family used to hikes) that this villa is NOT a reasonable walk to town and the half Tarmaced driveway is a kilometer long never mind the rest of the journey. This means it is however wonderfully quiet and peaceful and the network of lanes the house is located on are good for short walks. The Madonie has some beautiful walks close by and the house is well located for accessing these.

We stayed at Villa Verde for 2 weeks from the end of October through to November and had the most relaxing time, It really was idyllic and looked exactly like the photos on Trip Advisor, if not better.
Living in a traditional property was a great experience, but it had all the modern comforts and was very well equipped. The best part for us, was the peace and seclusion. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by trees and with the sound of running water from the stream and the lovely water fountain beside the terrace.
Sicily is larger than you might think, so the central location of the Madonie and proximity to the main motorway mean that you can visit any part of the island for a day trip. The nearby villages are interesting and the scenery is varied. Villa Verde was so relaxing though, we were too lazy to do much this time, so we plan to go back for another visit!
If your idea of perfect is peace, quiet, privacy and comfort, then Villa Verde would be hard to beat.
