Beachfront holiday rental in Villagonia

My wife, 13 year old daughter and I stayed at this house for 10 days in April 2025. The house was very clean and it was appreciated that there are amenities such as soap, shampoo, toilet paper, water, etc. in the house on our arrival. The beds are noted as two singles and two doubles but we felt that the bed sizes were larger. The third floor appears to have a king bed and the 2nd floor has a queen bed. Also, it is clear that the owner spent money on nice mattresses as the beds were very comfortable and hotel quality. We were very pleased with the hot water in the house. We never ran out of hot water in the shower and the water was very hot. Also, we used the washing machine and this worked well for us. The instructions and information provided by the owner were detailed and thorough. We appreciated the restaurant recommendations. We did not use the air conditioner or the heater but there are five in the house. The house was clean and we would stay here again. Thank you!

We had a great 4 days at Lorenzo’s place. The location was even better that we imagined with being right at the beach and less than a 5 minute walk to the cable cart which took you right into the town centre. We could no have asked for a better location. The apartment had everything we needed and there were no issues.

We had a fantastic stay at Katerina and Andrea’s place in Naxos! The house was spotless, cozy, and perfectly located close to beautiful beaches and local restaurants. They were warm, welcoming hosts who made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend staying here

I had an extended stay at Elvio’s apartment. The hosts are responsive and welcoming, with great instructions on how to find it. When an issue occurred it was resolved promptly. The apartment is homely, very clean and larger than I had expected. There is a modern kitchen, 2 bathrooms (1 with shower) and really lovely terrace area. the air con/fans were great in the warmer weather. Apartment is really well located in Recanati, 3 mins from bus terminal. Some lovely restaurants close by or a 10 mins walk into Giardini/Naxos. Was a lovely place to stay.

The apartment is well cared for, nice, comfortable. Perfectly matches the photos. The proximity to the sea and the Giardini promenade (in addition to Taormina of course!) are a great advantage, even in season. The hosts are very professional and the house is clean and equipped. Small touches of courtesy (leave a bottle of water, coffee...) were appreciated. The only negative aspects may not depend entirely on the hosts: the street that leads to the house is dirty and damaged, the steps in front of the property are broken, the parking lot on the condominium is narrow and poorly maintained... in short, the first impression is a little sloppy. Everything changes when you enter the house. Overall, recommended!

The house was incredibly clean and the host was very responsive. Dario was helpful at every stage and was an incredible host. The place was in the perfect location by the water with many great restaurants right outside. Would highly recommend!!

Beautiful and exotic location, the views from the balcony are extraordinary. For the most acrobats, access to water is possible directly from the terrace of the accommodation. Small typical and friendly village far away from mass tourism.

We loved this apartment. It was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. Everything you need is there. The location is also perfect for arrival by plane in Catania, touring Mt Etna and visiting Taormina. The local area the apartment is in is also beautiful and there is a beautiful view of the ocean from it. Superb!

Had a nice stay in September. Giovanni was the best, very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended!

Lovely Airbnb in a private compound. Walkable to the little village of Santa Tecla and to a Hotel with a nice Lido. Paolo was a great host and very responsive throughout the stay.

Our stay in Sicily was truly unforgettable! The house had a beautiful character, filled with charming details that made it feel like a home. The garden was a stunning oasis, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the warm Sicilian evenings. Our host, Carlo, was exceptional—always available to answer questions and provide recommendations. The highlight of our trip was the incredible five-course Sicilian dinner Carlo organized for us, showcasing the region's delicious cuisine. Each dish was a delight! The location itself is a must-visit, with breathtaking views and rich culture all around. We felt immersed in the beauty and warmth of Sicily. Highly recommend this lovely spot for anyone looking to experience the best of the island!

Wonderful apartment, we throughly enjoyed our stay! I can honestly say the host was exceptional. Everything was made easy, they were very attentive and thorough. The views in the apartment are spectacular. We were even surprised with a gift upon leaving, 10/10!!! We will be returning - A big thank you from us !!! 🙏

fabulous location to stay and explore Taormina. facilities are great and apartments clean. lovely and quiet in the evening's and great for families

Our family (2 adults/2 children) enjoyed a wonderful stay here in April. It is a well-equipped and good sized property with everything we needed. It is well located on the coastal road: a few minutes drive (or 20 minutes steep walk) to Taormina and also from the beaches/Isola Bella. Communication with the host was good and the building manager was very helpful with our arrival.

Great apartment to come back to after visiting the hustle and bustle of the town centre We were appreciative of the amenities Great communication from host

We had a great week. The property is a perfect base for excursions to Mount Etna or the Alcantara gorge. The house is beautiful and super well equipped, really everything you need is present. The pool is perfect despite you need a swim cap. The town itself is not special. It's like taking a time trip 70 years back in time. There is a lot of empty and closed. We only went here to the Pizzaria (Orso), which has great pizza's. Fortunately, there is plenty to do in Taormina, so it is not a loss.

The apartment exceeded my expectations and I think it is very good value. I especially appreciated how charming, large and spacious the apartment feels. High ceilings make the apartment feel bright and spacious. The location of the apartment is superb, not only very close to the beach, but also close to a supermarket, cafes, a patisserie, and specialty fish shop. Agatha provides details about all of these local gems upon arrival. The apartment is in the seaside town of Letojanni, a very short distance from Taormina. By staying in Letojanni, I think I benefit from a more peaceful, relaxing stay, while still easily reaching Taormina for sightseeing. Agatha is a superb host in every way. Timely communication via the AirBnB app, a very kind in person greeting upon arrival and departure made me feel welcomed and at home. The local recommendations were perfect. Thank you Agatha for helping to make my visit to Letojanni so memorable!

We had an amazing stay at Sergio’s place in Sicily. Honestly, the listing doesn’t even begin to capture how special and beautiful the house is. The location is unbeatable—just seconds from the marina—and you can see the sea from almost every corner of the home. There are multiple terraces and seating areas, and the house itself is incredibly spacious. One of our favorite things was the well-equipped kitchen, which made cooking a real pleasure. Sergio was also super responsive and communicative throughout our stay. He left a very detailed guide full of fantastic restaurant recommendations and local tips, which we really appreciated. Highly recommended!

We liked the location and spaciousness of the accomodation. The roof terrace with extra cooking facilities is a lovely extra space. It was well equipped with everything needed and Salvotore left us some extras such as prosecco, coffee which was appreciated. he also sent us a guide of the local area which we used and was very helpful. It is easy to get to Taormina from here and we also had a car and visited Etna alone with the use of his recommendations. We would stay again.

When you opened the doors you looked out on the sea! It was a really nice place in a beautiful location. If you are wanting to visit Catania and Taormina this a great place between each of those cities. . It was also close to Mt. Etna. The host was also very helpful and responded right away to any need or request that we had.

Even better than the photos, do not hesitate to book! We absolutely loved the apartment and the garden. It's so peaceful and beautiful, right across from an amazing beach, and surrounded by fruit trees. We felt super comfortable and Maristella was kind and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent condo, very clean, well appointed, beautiful views, and comfortable with split AC units in living area and both bedrooms to keep cool at night. Very close walk to Isola Bella beach area. Close walk to funicular that takes you up to Taormina town, and restaurants are also a close walk way. Note that funicular costs $6 per person one way up to the town, and $10 roundtrip...a bit pricey for such a short ride. It is a relatively easy walk down the mountain from Taormina back to the beach area and condo though, so recommend doing that and getting a little exercise on the way down. Walkway drops you right near the condo. Parking is easy in the gated condo community, so car is in a safe area. Would definitely recommend this place for your stay in Taormina.

This space is amazing and right on the water that you can swim in. Not much to do in the town but a nice space that’s in between some of the bigger coastal cities. For comfort I recommend using the mosquito netting and night and opening some windows for colder air. Overall would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at Andrea's place. Magda greeted us upon arrival with open arms...Made us feel part of the family. The owners of the restaurants and businesses were very helpful if we had any questions about the local area. The grocery store located next door made it very easy if we needed anything and the pharmacy was located a few blocks away. The bus station attendant was extremely helpful in getting us to the apartment since T-mobile didn't load my data plan correctly (extremely important to remember for our next trip). She also set us up days later on a harbor tour and a bus (to and from) tour Taormina. The only drawback is the parking situation. Just be aware it is stressful to find a place to park and worry about it. The parking areas suggested by google were closed (maybe seasonal) We parked close to bus pick up point 4 blocks away or wake up at 2am and move close to the apartment. The view from the balcony over-rides any problems. FAVOLOSO
