Villa holiday rentals in Gioiosa Marea

This place has been a highlight of our trip. It is peaceful, comfortable, very spacious and full of character. Our hosts were amazing, friendly, full of local knowledge and very prompt answering any questions we had. Our arrival was welcoming with delicious snacks provided and a free guided tour of how to get to the best local shops. It is close to everything that you would want to see and there is a restaurant within walking distance. The outside shower is amazing, but there are also 2 indoor alternatives. Jane and Bill

The property is off the beaten path and full of character. It’s got a wonderful garden and terrace area with amazing views of the surrounding mountains - the highlight of the place. The host was responsive. The only negative is the flushing of the toilet in the main apartment which doesn’t quite work right. However, the views and the fact there is a BBQ was provided more than made up for this minor inconvenience

This was the best Airbnb I stayed at so far. We loved everything - the view, the pool, the house! Would definitely recommend

Great place close to the beach, good for friends and families to spend time outside of the city next to nature

This house is a 10/10. we spend our first vacation as little family with our 6 month old daughter at Diana and Antonio’s beautiful home and we couldn’t have wished for a more relaxing, peaceful and cozy house. The hosts created a place with so much attention and love for detail, every item, peace of furniture and decoration is picked thoughtfully and fits perfectly into the aesthetic of the old stone house and it’s beautiful Olive Garden surroundings. The hosts are super friendly, helpful and kind. They made sure we didn’t go hungry on the day of our arrival, prepared a freshly homecooked meal and even provided a food basked for us with all kinds of tasty local food and lots of fresh lemons, oranges and mandarins. The view from The pool is just stunning, you can watch the sun set behind the mountains while the lights of the little town pettineo start to light up. We had a wonderful time, we will definitely come back 💛

The villa is on a hill with a fantastic view of the water. The outdoor space was very large and wonderful for relaxing and enjoying the view. I can't begin to share how clean the house was - it was like walking into my Nonna's house where everything was squeaky clean and you could eat off the floors. The house was extremely clean and well taken care of with everything you would need for your stay. Salvatore and his mom were super nice and very helpful with recommendations and advice. It was a joy working with them. Salvatore shared with us a local bakery at the bottom of the hill for fresh baked goods, pizza and bread and it was excellent. Looking forward to returning in the future.

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time at Alberto’s home. He and his wife are wonderful hosts. The house was spacious and provided a small outdoor space for the kids as well to play ping pong! It’s in a great location for traveling to different sites: Downtown Milazzo - 10min Taormina - 1hr 30min Palermo/Catania - 2 plus hrs While we enjoyed our stay it’s important to note the home is in a community and there is really nothing that is walking distance. You will need to drive anywhere you’re trying to go. Overall we’d highly recommend staying here!

Stunning sea and Etna view, really friendly host, nice clean well equipped air conditioned apartment in peaceful private surroundings. Walk uphill into town with a lift 10 minutes. Walk back downhill easier. Taormina very pretty lots of restaurants and bars, church and amphitheatre . We really enjoyed our stay. Also found a lovely beach in Mazzarò to swim - 10 min drive away. Highly recommend Villa Kate

This was the most magical Airbnb experience ever. Guiseppe and Giulia are the most hospitable Hosts I have ever come into contact with. They went above and beyond to make our stay the best. The villa is incredible with massive outdoor grounds to enjoy and a very beautiful large deep clean pool. Inside the villa is exactly as described but better! They were gracious and filled the fridges with many drinks to enjoy. They met us at the toll booth and escorted us to the villa and then drove us around town later to familiarize ourselves to the area and provided many dining recommendations. They were even so kind as to make reservations under their family name and deliver the most amazing desserts I have ever had! The location of the villa is perfect for day trips to Savoca and Taormina and surrounding areas. To have such a beautiful peaceful villa to return to made this our own slice of heaven! I would return in a heart beat. Thank you Giuseppe and Giulia for the most amazing stay.

This is the most beautiful home I’ve ever been. House is clean, each bedroom has its own bathroom, swimming pool is great and clean, the house has a huge kitchen and 2 washer machines, the kitchen has everything you need to cook and Ignazio the owner is very nice and he welcomed us with a wine bottle and a big basket with essential items for cooking. We had our wedding there and it was the most perfect location, definitely we are planning coming back soon.

Beautiful and old building. Furniture and fittings have age, but are fitting for the space and are full of charm. Would recommend.

Beautiful villa, spacious outdoor area, saltwater pool was fantastic. Fully equipped kitchen and BBQ area. Very clean and well presented throughout. Communication with host was faultless, all questions and calls were answered promptly. Villa was very private, we hired a car but Uber was very reliable and good value. Local restaurant Blue Ice was very good. Highlight was visiting nearby Taormina both on an evening and during the day. I would most certainly recommend Villa Flara and the beautiful island of Sicily. 🍋💕

Stay here if you are in Taormina! Louisa could not have been more helpful and kind to us during our week there. Her place is beautiful and peaceful and only a very short walk to the center of town. It was spotlessly clean and spacious with a gorgeous garden and old Roman tomb that our kids were fascinated by. We will definitely stay there again if we find ourselves in Taormina!

A+++ perfect location very peaceful stay

We had a wonderful stay - the villa is beautiful, in a lovely location, and we were made very welcome. We were given a delicious breakfast each day with freshly made cake and omelettes. The swimming pool is lovely and we had sessions of Pilates and yoga. I can’t think of anything about our stay that could have been improved. Thank you so much Corrado and your team for looking after us so well.

Amazing location and very unique property. Couldn’t think of a better place to stay in Taormina!!

It’s a beautiful villa tucked away on top of a hill! The villa is clean and utterly beautiful!! The hosts left some gifts for us like wine and olive oil. Just an amazing experience. The views from this place are unmatched, even at night! The outdoor space is perfect for hanging out.

Great place! Convenient to all the main attractions. The host was very helpful in organizing local adventures!

We had an amazing stay at Ville Voces! The villa is stunning, even more beautiful than in the photos, and fully equipped with everything you might need. Victor and Marinella were also incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with. There’s plenty to do in the area, and everything is easily accessible by car. While there was some traffic outside the villa, we hardly noticed it after the first day. All in all, we had a fantastic week and truly hope to come back soon!

We had wonderful support from the owner of the house and the garden/pool staff. Everyone was very friendly. The house is magic with a gorgeous infinity pool and the situation is very peaceful. You need a car and we visited lots of places e.g Etna, Cefalu which are between 1-2hrs drive. It is a really fabulous place to stay

Carla’s place is a gem in paradise.

A beautiful large house with amazing sea views. Beautiful indoor pool, sauna and entertainment area. We were a group of 10 and there was plenty of space. The agent who is in charge of this listing was not communicative at all but luckily the owners were very nice and easy to speak to.

We had the pleasure to enjoy the villa dei sogni for almost two weeks. Like our first visit, it was again just breathtaking. The house, the pool and especially the view, absolutely amazing! See you next time, villa dei sogni!

A corner of magic in the Sicilian hills We stayed at this enchanted AirBnb and were deeply fascinated by it. The advice is to arrive before nightfall: the GPS suggests very narrow roads, which can put you a little apprehensive, but following the directions of Cinzia you reach the place in complete serenity. It's really worth the trip! The place is simply magical, with attention to detail, immersed in the wild and authentic beauty of nature. Every corner tells a story, every detail conveys love and attention. During the night, we witnessed the evocative spectacle of the Etna lights that shone behind the hill - an experience that left us speechless. As a yoga teacher, I can say that it is also a perfect place to organize retreats: silence, beauty, and inspiration blend into a harmony that nourishes the soul. Thank you so much for this special experience.
