Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Aci Castello

Lovely apartment with everything we needed. Very central to explore Taormina. We arrived later than planned and were met by John who got us checked in quickly. The apartment is about 15 minutes walk from the bus station. We got the bus from Catania airport which costs just 7.50 Euros.

We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad. Het huis is erg comfortabel, en de tuin is prachtig. Onze kinderen hebben heerlijk in de tuin en zwembad kunnen spelen. Als je een beetje buiten de toeristische hectiek wilt zitten, en toch alle voorzieningen binnen handbereik wilt hebben dan is dit ideaal. We willen graag terug komen.

We have been using Airbnb for many years now, so when we meet very good hosts we recognise them straight away. Agatino is naturally able to make you feel welcome, the villa is very elegant and the garden is very well maintained with a very nice view of the vignard. Nothing was missing inside the house and we actually didn’t know that breakfast was included, so a nice bonus. In other words we only stayed two nights but we wish we had stayed longer.I hope we will have a chance to come back again.

Gostámos muito de ficar na casa do Fernando. A vista ao Monte Etna era bonita e o espaço encantador. E fomos recebidos com uma garrafa de vinho, agua, e bolinhos. A maior limitação é que, tal como indicado no anúncio, o espaço não tem WiFi, mas é possível ter dados móveis.

Abbiamo apprezzato molto il nostro soggiorno la scorsa settimana. La casa era incredibile e aveva una vista sull'Etna, Castelmora e sul mare. I padroni di casa ci hanno dato alcuni buoni suggerimenti su ristoranti e cose da fare. Ci tornerei sicuramente in questa casa se dovessi tornare.

Adorable cottage with incredible views! It was perfect location for the three of us. Smack in the middle between Teormina and Catania with gorgeous Reposto in between. That is if you have a car. The accommodations are just as described and on the photos. Maybe a little more of a seating area in the living room would be fantastic since that is where the internet is the strongest. Otherwise the garden, the jacuzzi, the neighborhood - all are beyond enjoyable! We would love to come back. Oh, yes, if you are thinking about hiking Mount Etna - just ask Andrea! You would have the BEST experience possible!!!!

Die Unterkunft ist gemütlich und lädt zum erholen ein. Für Umgebung ist ruhig und der Ausblick genial. Es empfiehlt sich aber ein Auto vor Ort zu haben da in dem kleinen Dörfchen Puntalazzo die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten beschränkt sind. Zur nächsten größeren Stadt (Giarre) sind es ca. 20 min mit dem Auto das geht aber völlig in Ordnung. Die Parkmöglichkeiten direkt vor dem Haus können je nach Auto herausfordern sein da es etwas verwinkelt ist. Allerdings gibt es 1 min entfernt einen Parkplatz. Orazio ist ein super Host, er ist schnell im Antworten und gibt gute Empfehlungen für die Umgebung und Restaurants. Er ist extrem daran interessiert den Aufenthalt zu bereichern und ist immer gut erreichbar🤩 Absolut top. 👍

La petite maison de Francesca et Enzo est idéalement située au pied de l'Etna mais aussi dans une localité paisible, jolie et très agréable, avec toutes les facilités. Nous y avons passé un séjour génial pour visiter toute la côte est de la Sicile. Francesca est particulièrement attentionnée et de très bon conseil. Nous recommandons fortement aux voyageurs qui cherchent le calme, l'authenticité et le contact.

Had an amazing two month stay in this place. The apartment is spaceous and centrally located, I felt right at home. Lisania and her husband were very welcoming and provided fresh linens throughout my stay.

Alessandra is an amazing hostess and very accommodating! The unit has a lot of charm and we felt right at home. Had everything you would need and more. Right across from the beach. Everything was lovely. Would definitely stay here again.

This is a spacious airbnb with a wonderful view of Mt Etna. 5 minute drive to the local jeep tours of Mt Etna. Local grocery store just down the street. Comfortable beds. Would definitely come stay here again next time we visit and bring more family to enjoy the space and view!

My 3 sisters and I stayed for our annual European trip and the apartment met out needs and more. Every morning was spent on the balcony taking in the breathtaking views. Taormina is the jewel in Sicily’s crown with so much to do and see including a taste of opera, history, boat tours, beaches, shopping, gelato and more. 5 days was not long enough. Local shops and amenities are on the doorstep and you couldn’t ask for a better location with easy access to the cable car and bus stops etc. Very easy pick up/drop off for Uber. Steps are a feature of the area so pack at least 1 pair of sensible shoes!

Eine tolle Zeit haben wir dort verbracht. Leider nur 2 Nächte. Wir kommen definitiv wieder. Es war genau das was wir brauchten. Und es ist ein interessantes und beeindruckendes Projekt.

Sono stata a casa di Francesca per una settimana. La casa è in una posizione perfetta, vicinissimo a lidl, supermercati e centri commerciali. Distante solo 10 minuti in macchina dal centro di Catania (per il tipo di viaggio che avevo in mente io è stata una casa perfetta) in più è leggermente rialzata su una collinetta, e nelle calde giornate di agosto abbiamo avuto il piacere di respirare un po' di aria fresca! a 15 minuti dalla casa si trovano anche delle bellissime zone di mare (come "le grotte di Ulisse"). Francesca è molto disponibile e aperta al dialogo! nel complesso un'esperienza positiva!!

For the price this time of year and our very specific needs for multiple bedrooms with a toddler and another adult and proximity to town, this place is perfect. Also, Rocca is such a sweetheart and went above and beyond to help us out with recommendations, fixing a power outage (there was a big storm during our stay and it went out a few times). Some of the previous reviews highlighted the only negatives, so we knew them when we booked it. Bed super hard...put the comforter down on top of the mattress which helped (thanks for the suggestion!) ...there is a SMALL fridge, not a full fridge, so plan accordingly. And no ac in the third small room with a bed, just a fan and hall ac unit so our guest had to leave her door open to get the ac . We knew that coming in and were appreciative of Rocca and the amazing location! The pool was great for our little guy too!

Very clean and comfortable. Awesome location! We really enjoyed getting cozy on the terrace and watching the evening strollers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nunzio was incredibly friendly and helpful! The house is beautiful and the location is amazing. The road to get there is a little rough but once you arrive you are greeted by 4 lovely cats and Bianca the dog. Everything went smoothly and Nunzio was always ready to help with whatever was necessary and gave lots of recommendations. Would recommend everyone to travel inwards instead of just staying along the coast and visit this place!

Eine Reise durch Sizilien und Aktion ,wir waren auf der Suche nach Ruhe relax in der Natur ,Das war die richtige Entscheidung bei Mauro in seine Villa für 3 tolle Tagen als Gast zu sein . Ich habe tolle Zeit mit mein Mann verbracht ,die Abende mit einen Blick auf Etna zu geniessen . Mich persönlich hat der Pool umgehauen mit hydromassage der war klasse . Vielen Lieben Dank Mauro an dich und deine Familie 🇮🇹

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt in einem traumhaften Haus! Wir möchten uns ganz herzlich bei Alberto für die tolle Zeit in seinem Haus bedanken! Schon bei der Ankunft waren wir begeistert – die Bilder in der Anzeige entsprechen absolut der Realität. Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt, großzügig geschnitten und liegt in einer wunderbar ruhigen Gegend – perfekt, um abzuschalten und das echte Sizilien zu genießen. Wir waren mit unserer achtköpfigen Familie dort und hatten mehr als genug Platz. Jeder hatte seine Rückzugsmöglichkeit und trotzdem gab es viele schöne gemeinsame Bereiche – ob auf der Terrasse mit Ausblick, beim Essen im Freien oder im gemütlichen Wohnzimmer. Wichtig zu wissen: Das Haus ist nur mit einem Mietwagen erreichbar und die Auffahrt ist recht steil. Es braucht etwas Übung und ein bisschen Fahrgefühl – erfahrene Autofahrer schaffen das aber gut. Dafür wird man mit absoluter Ruhe und einer tollen Aussicht belohnt. Die Kommunikation mit Alberto war von Anfang bis Ende h

We encountered hosts + villa we can honestly say—-amazing + even more than we expected! Louisa + Chiara were so wonderful + accommodating, suggesting local activities + restaurants, booking our wish list + providing great advice. The villa is absolutely beautiful, spacious + decorated with the most eclectic artwork. There is A/C in the two bedrooms for comfortable sleeping and numerous porches and balconies to sit and have a meal or cooling drink in the afternoon. The views are lovely + we enjoyed breakfast daily on the porch off our bedroom overlooking Taormina. It is about a 7 minute walk down the hillside to the center of town. You will really appreciate your private retreat of Villa Britannia after a busy day in town or the beach! There is also a large gourmet kitchen stocked with all you need if you love to “cook at home”. Louisa provided us with eggs, milk , cold bottles of water + bread on arrival which was very sweet. This is perfect for couples, families or bride and groom. ❤️
