Villa holiday rentals in Metropolitan city of Catania

Lovely house in a lovely place - off the beaten track and all the better for it. Thank you Paola for a much needed relaxing week and for being so helpful and responsive.

Marco’s villa was just what we needed. We were two elderly couples, with lots of traveling experience. We needed a place with two bedrooms and two baths, and this villa fit the bill. Outside, the neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. It was only a couple of minutes drive from the center of town. The villa had a beautiful garden around it, which made it peaceful. The villa was clean and comfortable, and gave us space when and where we needed it. The kitchen was fully operational but we only needed the basics, which Marco had provided. All in all an outstanding experience.

Das Haus liegt einfach wunderschön mit tollem Blick auf das Meer und die Küste bis nach Taormina und auf die Stiefelspitze des Festlands. Die Sonnenaufgänge sind märchenhaft. Der Garten ist wunderschön angelegt und auch über Hängematte und Tischtennisplatte haben wir uns sehr gefreut. Der Lavastein und das Holz sind außen und innen eine tolle Kombination. Es gibt sehr bequeme Sitzgelegenheiten und Betten sowie Insektenschutz an Türen und Fenstern. Der Ätna-Park, Taormina und Catania sind sehr gut erreichbar. Andrea ist ein toller, sehr aufmerksamer und freundlicher Gastgeber, der uns viele gute Tipps gegeben hat.

Beautiful stay in Aci Catena. The space comfortably accommodated all four of us and the beds were one of the most comfortable of our whole trip. The outdoor area was amazing with the pool surrounded by many olive, lemon and peach trees. Daria was very willing to help with every question we had and made many recommendations throughout our stay. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a quaint stay, yet so close to everything.

Alessandra’s property just north of Viagrande was an excellent location for us to explore Mt Etna and surrounding towns. Alessandra was a great communicator and accommodated our late check in after an evening flight into Catania. Our children enjoyed exploring the grounds of the property but the guest house itself is quite rustic (which was fine for us).

Giovannino thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We feel very lucky to have stayed here - your garden is beautiful - the children loved picking oranges and lemons and making delicious juice. We enjoyed evenings on the terrance and taking in the spectacular view - we even saw etna erupting which was very special. The villa has everything you need for a comfortable stay. You have been a wonderful host, thank you for all the help, recommendations and reservations. We loved the take away pizza and restaurant you recommended. You were so helpful and a very friendly and attentive host. We especially enjoyed your homemade lemonchello and amaretto - delicious. We would love to come back in the future. Thank you

Unser Aufenthalt war einfach fantastisch! Die Unterkunft war makellos sauber und sehr gepflegt – wir haben uns sofort wie zu Hause gefühlt. Der Ausblick auf das Meer und den majestätischen Ätna ist atemberaubend und bleibt unvergesslich. Ein besonderes Highlight war der große, wunderschöne Pool – perfekt zum Entspannen und Genießen der herrlichen Umgebung. Die Gastgeberin war jederzeit erreichbar, äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist traumhaft – ruhig und idyllisch, aber dennoch gut erreichbar. Wir kommen ganz bestimmt wieder und können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen. Vielen Dank für diese wundervolle Zeit!🫶

Wow what an incredible villa! The photos don’t do villa Stefania justice. The house is beautiful with stunning views over the sea and Etna on one side, and a beautifully kept garden and amazing pool on the other. The bedrooms and bathrooms are a very good size and the open plan kitchen, dining and living room are beautifully decorated. We hadn’t planned to spend much time just at the villa, but ended up spending three days out of our 10 day stay just enjoying the pool and tranquil surroundings. The villa is ideally located for sightseeing with Siracusa, Noto, Taormina and Catania within easy reach. But the villa itself is off the beaten track and therefore doesn’t feel touristy or crowded at all. Indeed, most of the local restaurants and bakeries are mainly frequented by locals. Giuseppe is a wonderful host, always quick to respond and incredibly helpful. The villa was perfect for a stay with small children and alongside some toys and kid’s furniture, there is a playground!

Our stay at this villa in Sicily was nothing short of exceptional. With 14 of us, we were at full capacity, yet the space never felt cramped. There were 2 to each bedroom where we could retreat to, and the communal areas—especially the indoor dining area and expansive outdoor space—were ideal for relaxing and gathering as a group. The villa offered the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern comfort. It felt like an authentic Sicilian experience, without sacrificing any of the amenities we needed. The views were breath-taking, the facilities top-notch, and every detail seemed thoughtfully considered. What truly elevated our stay, though, were the hosts, Alessandra and Toni. I usually prefer a more hands-off approach, but they struck the perfect balance—always available, attentive, and incredibly supportive, without ever being intrusive. Their warmth and care added a personal touch that made all the difference. We truly struck gold with this villa & it’s amazing hosts.

This was our first visit to Sicily. We were a group of 8 with 3 families. We had plenty of space & privacy. The home is truly as beautiful as the photos & is like a step back in time. Maria is an amazing artist who added her special touches all over the home This was Francesco’s grandfathers home built in the late 1800’s. The backyard overlooks the town below & the ocean w Mt Etna on the other side. Magnificent! The added bonus of Rosaria’s services made us feel incredibly pampered. Her services are an additional fee but are very well worth it. She cooked 2 amazing meals for us (her chicken cacciatore is the absolute best!). She also helped secure a restaurant reservation & transportation. Note that a driver or rental car is a must. Unless you are fluent in Italian you will need translation apps. Truly a lifesaver as Sicilians often do not speak English. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever fortunate enough to visit the beautiful island of Sicily.

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. 🍋💕

A great home away from home for the Christmas Holiday. The kitchen was amazing and allowed for us to make all our traditional Christmas dishes. Furthermore, the living room was cozy. The couch was perfect and allowed multiple people to curl up and watch Christmas movies. Additionally, the gaming room provided much needed space for board games, karaoke, puzzles, and reading. The house was immaculate, and our host was absolutely wonderful. We showed up late the first evening and our host made traditional Sicilian delicacies for us to eat. The arancini were delicious. I would 100% come back, especially in the summer so I can enjoy their beautiful pool. 100% recommend.

This house was one of the most amazing places I've ever stayed. We went for a week and a half on a family trip, and it could not have been more incredible. Somehow, the grounds are even more lush and beautiful and spacious than the photos make them look. Incredible views of Mt. Etna and innumerable spots for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Our manager of the property was more like a concierge. Gianluca was more welcoming and helpful than anyone I've encountered in years renting Airbnb places. We will surely be back and can't recommend it highly enough for anyone checking it out!

Our group of 4 couples thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mara's house. There was plenty of room for all of us and the outdoor spaces were truly amazing. The kitchen is on the small side but we had no problems cooking meals for eight. We took the short drive into Santa Venerina for groceries and a couple of meals. The streets were not as narrow as some Italian villages. The best part of the stay was Mara herself! She is so helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

I stayed at Sandra’s home with two of my close friends for 5 days and we just loved our time there. Sandra helped us book a private chef and we dined outdoors overlooking a breathtaking view of the countryside and sea. The home is situated perfectly to explore (with a rental car) Taormina, Siracusa/Ortigia, Mt. Etna, wineries, and other lovely towns. The pool and gardens were unreal — especially because the whole region is peaceful, birds chirping and a quiet breeze. I would be so lucky to stay in Sandra’s home again!

Sonia was a great host who recommended so many brilliant activities for us and the house was just like the pictures! It was massive and great for a group of 11 to feel very comfortable. We got taxis to Riposto and Taormina.

Villa Gorna is an amazing location with fantastic hosts. The property is as described and photos are accurate. A lot of care was taken to put nice extra features. Orazio was very responsive and helpful, with offers available for tours etc. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend.

Ήταν ένα υπέροχο μέρος, μέσα στη φύση, ήσυχο, το κατάλυμα διέθετε τα πάντα και μπορούσες να καθήσεις στην όμορφη βεράντα και να ξεκουράζεις το βλέμμα σου στην πράσινη φύση, ακούγοντας τα πουλιά να κελαϊδούν. Στον κήπο κυκλοφορούν 3 πανέμορφες, φιλικότατες γάτες που μας κρατούσαν συντροφιά. Ο Antonino ήταν εξαιρετικός οικοδεσπότης, ό,τι χρειαστήκαμε μας το παρείχε άμεσα και επιπλέον, επειδή η πτήση αναχώρησής μας ήταν απογευματινή, μας επέτρεψε με ευγένεια να παραμείνουμε στο χώρο όσο θέλαμε. Ευχαριστούμε πολύ, Antonino! Arrivederci!

Il soggiorno presso la villa di Isabella è stato fantastico. La casa è bellissima, come si vede dalle foto, in una zona molto tranquilla e che permette un relax totale e privacy per i gruppi che vi vanno. Tante informazioni fornite sui dintorni e sulle attività della zona; per esempio noi abbiamo usufruito del servizio della “pizza in casa”, con i pizzaioli davide e Monica che sono venuti a cucinare le pizze per noi (c’è un fantastico forno a legna in casa) ed è stata davvero una bella serata. Consigliatissimo!

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt, Guiseppe war sehr nett & hat gute Empfehlungen gegeben. Die Mutter, die auf dem Grundstück wohnt, war auch sehr nett & hat uns die Schildkröten gezeigt und uns frische Eier von ihren Hühnern (die man kaum hört) angeboten. Man kann gut am Pool entspannen oder mit dem Mietwagen die Umgebung erkunden. Wir können Syrakus, Noto, Modica, Ragusa, Catania, Castelmola und Taormina sehr empfehlen. Auch schöne Strände sind in der Umgebung. Klimaanlage und WLAN funktionieren und der Mietwagen steht immer im Schatten. Preis Leistung Top!

The villa was above and beyond what we imagined! The pictures do not do it justice! The hosts went above and beyond to welcome us into their own, helping us with every need and question. The included breakfasts were fantastic and we had the villa owner cook for us one night served by the pool and it was by far one of the best meals we had in all of Italy. The pool was such a special treat each evening after our day visiting Mt Etna (super close to access) or around town. We would highly recommend this place as it’s spacious (we had 8 and there was extra room) and the hosts really went above and beyond to help us with every need! The only downside we had was that we only stayed for 2 nights! We will return to Sicily just to stay at this villa again! Va bene! Grazie mille!

We spent five days in the apartment and it was amazing. The communication before arrival was fast and clear. The apartment is in a house with beatiful garden. The parking place is inside the area. The welcome of Antonia was warm and we immediately felt like we were there several times. The apartment is spacious, with two balconies and nice views, to the pool and the sea. Its super clean, the apartment, the garden as well as the pool. In the kitchen, you find everything you need. Some water and the bottel of wine was prepared for us, very kind. Antonia was always there to help but she was very discreet. The house is in a calm residential area. There are not so many places to see and the restaurants in walking distance, the car is a need. We enjoyed our holidays and hope one day we come back.

Wir haben als Gruppe von Freunden hier einen 10-tägigen Urlaub verbracht. Schon bei der Ankunft waren wir überwältigt von der Schönheit von Anwesen und Umgebung: Im wunderschönen Zitronenhain gelegen mit Blick auf die Hänge des Ätna und auf‘s Meer. Besser geht‘s nicht! Langeweile kam nie auf, die Gegend bietet super viel! Ein Auto ist allerdings wichtig. Auch auf dem Grundstück gab‘s immer was zu tun: wunderschöner Pool, Tischtennisplatte, Kicker, Fußball oder in der tollen Küche kochen… und immer frische Zitronen. Maria Gulia und Angelo sind super freundlich und halfen uns oft mit Tipps und schnellen Antworten weiter. Die Villa ist eine absolute Empfehlung!!

It would take more than five stars to do right to our experience with Villa Artemis. So far we always had good experiences with the accomedations we booked via AirBnB, but Villa Artemis totally exceeded our already high expectations. It was simply perfect. The house is spacious, tastefully decorated, and with no less than two living/dining rooms and two bathrooms. Outside the house there is are plenty of places to sit and relax with wonderfull views on both the sea and the Etna. The house is clean and well equiped. Everything you need for a great and carefree holliday is there. This review wouldn't be complete however if I didn't mention the family that hosts the place. Francesco, Giovanna, Antionio and Valeria were very kind, always willing to assist. They helped us out more than once. We are really happy to have met them, and hope to meet again.
