Waterfront holiday rentals in Sicily

Alberto was an excellent host that was proactive so he could be there at the same time to welcome us. He not only welcomed us into the apartment but left us water, wine & coffee and showed us around the area. Beautiful balcony with stunning sunsets over the sea. Fully stocked kitchen. Alberto was very quick to respond to any questions we had.

The listing was located in a quaint village that included great restaurants and grocery stores nearby. We took advantage of the seaside for our walks. Very good location. Less than two hours from the accommodation we could visit the places (Siracus, Ortigia, Catania, Agrigento, Mount Etna CE) recommended to visit Sicily. Thank you Antonietta for hosting us!

Salvatore was a fantastic host. Responsive and informative on check in. Place was in a beautiful location across the road from the water and a small beach. Stunning sunsets. Unfortunately we were there on a public holiday weekend so lots of noise from the restaurants below. Otherwise perfect.

The access to the accommodation was a bit surprising at the end of May as you have to drive through a small stream to get to the end of the road. The entrance to the free underground car park is also a bit bumpy and it is recommended to unload the car upstairs at the apartment beforehand if it does not have high tyres. But once you arrive, the accommodation is really impeccable with a beautiful view of the sea. You can hear the sea rustling at night and can sleep with the windows open without hesitation. You can also get from the apartment directly to the beach via a small staircase. The accommodation was one of the cleanest I have experienced so far. The mocha pot for making coffee, which is unfortunately often neglected, was also really clean. All public transport as well as small bakeries and shops are within walking distance. Since you can use a free parking space, excursions by car are always easy. The place is really highly recommended.

We received an excellent welcome from Giuseppe. The apartment has large rooms, the decoration and comfort are great! Free parking nearby. Nice little balcony. The neighborhood is quiet at night and typically Italian, we loved it. There are small shops in the alleys, people are very friendly and accommodating. This is our top accommodation. Well done Giuseppe.

Both Frederica and her father was warm and welcoming. Responsive and willing to help with anything in question. The place itself felt unreal, being so close to the beach and Caletta Santa Elia. Would definitely cone back!

If there were 10 star ratings I would give this place a 10+star. First of all Salvatore’s communication was 11/10. His place is in the Historical district where all the action is and is very walkable to the marina. His place is pristine and this would be the only place I would stay if I were to go back again. He arranged for parking for me, always asked how things were going and he had items sometimes like you take for granted such as extra towels, had water for us. Once again, he gave clear cut instructions on how to get there and we absolutely loved his place. Thank you so much for your hospitality as we greatly appreciated it. Make sure you look no more and this is the place to stay at.

This is an amazing home in the best location - we could have stayed for a month!! Situated right on the beach this is the most beautiful spot to spend any time in Cefalu. Francesco was the best host and provides all you need to make this a memorable stay. All the photos and positive comments cannot capture how wonderful this place is. Book it now!

Alfio’s place is beautiful and situated in a quiet area with lots of wonderful restaurants and friendly locals. Alfio’s father, Mario, was also wonderful and for a small fee, took us out on his boat to explore and swim. Cannot wait to come back to this area when we return to Sicily.

Great terraces with view of the sea. Not a lot of restaurants to walk to. Place was very clean and furnished well. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to make several dinners there with no problem. We went during shoulder season so the area was very quiet. I’m sure it’s busier during the summer.

Good location within walking distance to sites, shops and restaurants! Clean and modern. Nice view of marina from upstairs bedroom!! Marcello provided a great list of places to go to and see! Convenient parking nearby if you need it. When the construction out front ends, the walkway will be a welcome edition. Euros requested for the tourist tax so remember to have exact change.

Vincenza’s Villa is beautiful. We had a delightful stay. The villa has beautiful views, a wonderful kitchen, comfortable beds, and a beautiful outdoor seating area. Vincenza was super welcoming. Would love to stay here again!

Roberto is a great host, he is very caring and supported us super with all questions. We always felt very comfortable. The house is in a fantastic location, on every level with great views of the sea. The highlight is the private access to the sea. The pool offers everything you need for a great holiday. Parking spaces are available on the property. We had a VW bus, a motorcycle and a small rental car with us. (and mountain bikes) The proximity to the airport was very convenient for us because we were there with the whole family and our children arrived at different times. You need your own car to be mobile. For us, it was perfect because we needed about 50 minutes to the climbing paradise San Vito del Capo and could also go to Palermo. The distance to the most beautiful places in West Sicily can be reached in <1 hour. The residential area is very quiet and well maintained and we always felt safe. Thanks to Roberto

Fantastic location a stone's throw from the sea, super new accommodation, the host pampered us:)

Marcello's accommodation is amazing! 🙂 He is the soul of the accommodation, which makes it what it is. He is very warm, helpful and considerate. We received great tips and always felt perfectly taken care of. From the penultimate day, we were able to use the great platform for direct access to the sea. :) Access to the sea leads about 200-250? through Marcello's loving garden. There is a private parking space, which can be reached through 2 gates. Everything in the accommodation was clean and well maintained and there were a lot of details.

I highly recommend Carmelo's place. It is in an excellent location, has a comfortable space, and is steps from the water. The area is quieter at the end of the street, yet still close to everything. I would stay there again.

Fantastic 3 weeks at Francesco`s beautiful apartment - superbly located on Isola Ortigia, an absoultely spectacular place. Lively even during winter and a number of sights (Neapolis is a must!). Went to the food market for fish and greens and made dinner at home every other day or so. Otherwise a number of very good restaurants within a 500m radius. Breakfast and lunches on the spectacular terrase, short/t-shirt at least half the days (when in the sun) even during winter. Francesco was very helpful when we needed some minor assistance with heating and dishwasher. The heating system was the best I have every come across in Italy - water heated radiators, not only the usual A/C. All in ll - spotless!

This apartment is in an amazing location right in the centre of Cefalù. The balcony view of the cathedral is truly stunning. Antonio was super responsive and left clear instructions and great restaurant recommendations. The apartment was beautiful - it seems to have been decorated since the photos were taken so there were some differences but great overall.

Great communication from host Cute flat Good location Greats view of lady etna

Super central and cosy apartment! And Giovanni was amazing and responsive.

We wanted to explore the historic city of Palermo so chose this AirBnB because the location was perfect to visit so many places. It also looked stylish and comfortable with lovely outside views. We were not disappointed - and would return there to explore more of Palermo that we could not see this time.....not enough holiday!

Very beautiful house . And the location was spot on. You drink coffee hearing the peaceful sound of the sea.

The house offers a stunning view over the sea and is located in a lively area with plenty going on — perfect for those who enjoy a vibrant atmosphere. The accommodation was clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed. We appreciated the thoughtful suggestions for day trips provided by the host, which helped us discover the region in a relaxed way. The village itself is charming, with plenty of nice restaurants and cafés within walking distance. Opposite the house is a large square where locals gather every afternoon and evening. Children can play on the playground equipment, and there are also some outdoor fitness machines. That said, if you’re looking for total peace and quiet, this may not be the ideal spot — but if you enjoy energy, activity, and sea views, this is the place to be!

Wonderful terrace overlooking the sea for a short holiday. Thank you Nicola and Maria Concetta, we will return as soon as possible. House equipped with all comforts.
