Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Gioia Tauro

A BEAUTIFUL view of Taormina and mount Etna. The place was lovely, with amazing views and a nice open kitchen/living room. Both the kitchen and bedroom had doors out to the patio which was stunning. My only note is that it’s kind of located in a “no man’s land” of food/groceries and takes some serious hill climbing to get to each. But that’s also just part of Taormina and we expected it, so it was no problem for us.

This place is super clean and cozy, with a terrific view of both the Etna volcano and the seashore. You could have both shimmering dots along the coast and the flaming mountain summit - if you're lucky enough. The supermarket is easy to reach and the airbnb is close to the city center. Chiara is super reliable and responds quickly. Angela is super nice as well. I would definitely recommend this house to you!

Great for a couple. From the beautiful terrace overlooking the Bay of Taormina!

It was a cozy and modern space where the host felt a lot of affection for the accommodation! Paolo was a really super kind person: (We arrived on the night train and arrived quite early, but right before the people met us before they even checked out, and they helped us check in after that: (They were so kind and thankful that we were so sorry. Super thanks to Paolo! I hope to see again you sometime👍👍

Roberto welcomed us very warmly, the house is very clean and cozy and there is a great restaurant nearby, there is a church near the house with a very nice view, very recommended, if I return to Sicily next time, I will choose to stay in this house again!

Fabulous, breathtaking views from a wonderful terrace. The apartment is well located away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets but close enough to walk. Aykut was on hand if we needed anything and we had a nice bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. We loved our short stay and will definitely come back for a longer visit in the future.

I would recommend this place, we were very well received by Manuel who even helped me with my suitcase. The accommodation matches the photos, very clean, well decorated and equipped. It is perfect for 2 and is ideally located: close to a supermarket and 5 min walk to the main street of Taormina, while being in a quiet area.

We had the most wonderful stay, the house and its location is just beautiful. We really enjoyed the scenic setting, the quietness, privacy, and comfort of the house (modern, very good bed, ..). On top of that we were welcomed by the very friendly hosts, who treated us with a most delicious cake, fresh eggs etc. Would love to return to enjoy this paradise.

+ Everything is good and Franco is a very good host + He is always available and very helpful + Franco shows you the area. - The fridge is a bit noisy. - There is no real kitchen.

Extremely beautiful second house, it exudes class; private entrance gate with long driveway with fruit tree to house. Elegantly designed house which fits in the area on a mountainside, surrounded by large garden full of old olive trees. The owner is super told when explaining the house that olive oil in the kitchen comes from your own garden and not to be concerned if it runs out, there is more. Furthermore, there is terrace around the house both in the sun or out of the sun. Excess of kitchen items, fine oven and BBQ. Enjoy the sun.

Anita is a great host. The apartment is amazing. Great location in the city centre. Spotlessly clean. 2 balconies, small back garden. Well ecquipped. A few minutes to the parking ( porta catania)

A simple but beautiful villa with plenty of space, several terraces and a beautiful and unobstructed view of the sea. From there you can explore the area on foot or by car and you can discover something new every day. Be it the Castello, the Capo Milazzo or the old and new center of the city. The house is simply furnished, not up to date, but this also has its charm. Yes, there are no real showers or air conditioning, but this has been made up for by the view, the spacious garden and much more. I would like to highlight Alessandra and her family. Super friendly, helpful and respond very nicely and promptly to inquiries. Thank you for 2 great weeks in Sicily.

Special thanks to Alessandro, he is a friendly and helpful person who made us feel immediately at home. He provided us with useful tips on the area and places to visit. The accommodation is great for location and tranquility and corresponds in all respects to the description. Highly recommended.

My friends and I had such a wonderful stay here at the beautiful Johnny & Mary Villa! Graziella was extremely helpful and friendly, and made check-in extremely easy. The description of the listing matching perfectly to the home itself. I would absolutely love to come back in the near future.

Salvatore's house is a place where you'll instantly feel at home and won't want to leave. The attention to detail, cozy atmosphere, thoughtful decoration, and care for guests' needs make it truly special. The house is spacious, offering a beautiful kitchen with everything you need, a serene living room, and a wonderful view. Our eight-year-old daughter chose the upstairs room. Although the house is large and we were staying downstairs, she felt completely at ease and wasn't scared at all. A lovely hiking trail begins just 25 minutes from the house. It’s a peaceful retreat and an excellent base for exploring Calabria. Highly recommended. Salvatore is a warm, kind, and generous host.

Friendly host, great location, great stay.

The place was a perfect location and very nice. Vincenzo was very responsive and helpful. I highly recommended this place.

Casa Lionessa, the location and the communication with Chiara was above my expectations. The view from of the bay and Mt Etna from the sunny terrace both day and night was spectacular and being across the road from the gorgeous park and moments from restaurants, bars and the Bam Bar made this an ideal romantic holiday location. The support I received from Chiara when my lugguage was lost by the airline was amazing. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

New apartment in great location, pleasant hosts! Within 5 minutes via stairs on a Caribbean dream beach, deserted, at least in September. Great terrace with sea and stream Boli views, daily sunset. Supermarkets nearby, car required. Also to Pizzo you should only drive by car. Beach bars were already closed in September, everything was very peaceful and quiet. Great clean sea with high temperatures, beach unfortunately heavily plastic littered

If you’re looking for a safe, secure, and spacious accommodation that feels isolated but is right next to everything you need to see in Taormina then you found the spot. The apartment has a beautiful terrace overlooking the Sicilian coastline and neighboring Calabria. Beautiful pool, gardens, and easy access to the Main Street of Taormina. The place was stocked with supplies, plenty of blankets, pillows, towels, some food, and a delicious bottle of wine as a welcome gift. Highly recommend for a first time visit to the area!

The view from the balcony was wonderful! The pictures of this apartment don’t do it justice. The balcony was big enough for two to enjoy coffee or wine. Really felt like a local but had enough restaurants around. Everything was walkable up and down hill. The apartment was not so big, but very comfortable for two. Can’t say much about how the kitchen worked, because who wants to cook when so much Italian food is at your doorstep? However, we were there the day many things closed down at the beginning of November. Still, we found good places to eat. Would recommend this apartment.

the apartment was spacious and comfortable and the couple on site were very friendly and welcoming, but not intrusive. the kitchen was well stocked

We had a great few days in Taormina. The apartment was spotlessly clean and clearly newly renovated. It was a minute from the gates of the old town, and a few minutes walk from the cable car that takes you down to the beach. To have car parking on site was a bonus. We also were walked around the apartment by the host which was really helpful. Thanks for a great stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
