Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Bova Marina

Incredible serene oasis. Antonio brought us eggs, fresh strawberries, and citrus galore, making sure we felt right at home. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

We stayed on this space for 3 days. Was super clean. Giovanna showed us everything at check-in. We were in Scilla or on the ferry in Sicily within 10 minutes. If you walked down the street, you were right by the sea and could look over to Sicily. The only thing that bothered me was the motorists. The house is located on a curve, i.e. it is lifted from every direction. Especially in the morning from 8:00 am it was quite annoying, at other times it had not bothered us. I recommend the accommodation for a trip to Scilla or to come to Sicily.

Very responsive and welcoming hosts. They shared some fantastic recommendations of authentic dining places and local beaches. Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful stay at the appartement. We really enjoyed the beautiful balcony and the nature all around. We even got nice fresh fruits out of the garden!

Although we didn’t get the pleasure to meet Consolato, he was very responsive and gave good recommendations for local restaurants. His dad helped us with parking. The place was very clean and just like the pictures. There isn’t much around but it was perfect for our one night stay since it is only a 30min drive to Villa San Giovanni port.

Giuseppe is an exceptional host, very helpful and available. The village of Motta Camastra is very nice and the view is sublime. We were lucky to be there during the 2 days of the village festival so we could enjoy the concerts, fireworks, processions, illuminations and brass band. The apartment is very functional, well located in the village and allows you to enjoy the various visits to do in the vicinity including Etna. We regret not staying longer!

Thank you so much, Nino. It was our daughter’s first holiday away, and it was very special in part because of the beautiful house and surroundings, and Nino and his family’s hosting. Nothing was too much trouble, we are very grateful (especially the cute rocking chair) ☺️ restaurant recommendations and also booked us a table, where we were greeted with open arms. Grazie mille!

Already miss this lovely place which became our dream Sicilian country home for three nights! Located in a peaceful gardens area, accompanied by lovely doggies, Mathilde's place gave us a feeling of coziness and freedom. I can only regret that our busy programme didn't allow us to meet with her in person but she was ver approachable and easy going. If you are looking for a quite place near to Naxos and Taormina, and a good starting point for Etna - don't hesitate to book this place :)

We stayed 2 weeks and it was a great base for exploring the east side of Sicily and Etna. A hire car is essential as the apartment is located in a quiet spot away from the main centres. The apartment itself was spacious and comfortable with great views from the wrap around balcony. The swimming pool was a real bonus - we made use of it most days. Salvatore & Antonio were very helpful and responsive to requests (many thanks!). Highly recommended if, like us, you are looking for a peaceful getaway.

Magical place in the middle of nature with a magnificent view. Etna in the background, and a very welcoming and available host. I recommend it!

Roberto was a great host and helped us get settled nicely once we got to Sicily. He answered any questions we had and gave us a list of restaurants, beaches and tours before we got there. He also helped book us a taxi to his apartment. The apartment is next to the grocery store and all the shops and restaurants which was very convenient. Overall, we loved our stay and would highly recommend for anyone to stay there.

The rooms matched exactly the photos. The place was very clean and cozy in a quiet quiet location. We had a wonderful view of the sea from the room. From the backyard, we were able to enjoy the sunsets behind the volcano while sitting or pool. Francesca and Matti were very friendly and helpful. When we checked in, they explained what we can find in the area and where to go. Definitely have the say, they have perfect tips.

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. 🍋💕

This place is a dream! It really is beyond beautiful. A traditional Sicilian villa, which has been lovingly taken care of and feels like a family treasure. The garden is incredible, with lots of beautiful flowers and fruit trees, and potted plants all along the walls and balcony. And the views are amazing! From the kitchen and the upstairs terrace you can see the Etna, but from all of the windows the sights are just beautiful. Giovanni is the best host, very friendly and has lots of great recommendations for the area, for sightseeing and food 🥰 I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Thank you Salvo for your warm welcome! The place is charming in the middle of the fruit trees and very quiet with a beautiful view of Etna. We loved the freshly squeezed orange juice every morning and the croissants! We highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at Daniele’s house! The pool area was fantastic, and the garden had several cozy spots where you could sit and relax. We often had breakfast and dinner on the lovely terrace above the pool – overlooking the garden and surroundings. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed, and Daniele was an incredibly helpful and accommodating host. He arranged both a high chair and a baby cot for us, and was always available if we needed anything. One truly magical moment was being able to see a volcanic eruption from the house – an unforgettable experience! It was also easy to get to the nearest grocery store by car. During our stay, the star jasmine was in full bloom around the walls of the house, filling the air with a wonderful scent. We can warmly recommend this place and would happily return!

Concetta is an incredible host! The apartment is located right in the heart of Naxos, just a minute’s walk from the sea and close to all the restaurants and bars. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, and there’s even a washing machine. We stayed as a couple with a baby, and everything was perfect. Concetta helped us with everything we needed – she went above and beyond. The place was cleaned every two days, and even the sheets were replaced regularly. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely be back!

A piece of paradise! We loved our stay. Caroline and Stefano were exceptional hosts. Clean place, great kitchen with all you need and beautiful, private outdoor space. We love to walk so we enjoyed the walk to town and the beach. All the views were breathtaking. 11/10!

Vincenzo is a great communicator and attentive host. He shared valuable reccommendations for things to do in the local area, restaurants and shops. The accomodation is in a fantastic location with views to Mt Etna in the west, and the coast in the east. It is very comfortable and a great place to relax and unwind. Thank you very much, Vincenzo!

We feel very lucky to have stayed here - the pics don't do it justice! We were a group of four on a girls trip. Everyone was so impressed with the space, gorgeous terrace, sea view, comfortable beds, and responsive host when we needed a bit of help. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you!

Fabio's place was fantastic. The view is unbeatable. Parking, walkable into town and the view, the view is absolutely breathtaking. We loved our stay. My partner and I were traveling around Sicily for a few months, and my dog needed emergency surgery, and Fabio's place was the perfect spot for us to unwind, relax, and the views made it a great place to nurse our little pup back to health. You need a car here, and the location is only 15 minutes outside the city of Catania, perfect launch pad to explore the surrounding areas. Although, we didn't get to meet Fabio, he was always a text away, checking in on us, making sure we had everything we need. Highly recommend. I should also note, my partner and I work remotely, and he was so gracious to add a desk and chair so we both could work comfortably, with the beautiful views. We will for sure be back! Grazie Mille, Fabio!

This home is beautiful! The pictures do not reflect how adorable this space truly is. In addition, this was the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. I was very impressed! I had a welcome bottle of wine, a beach bag provided packed with all beach necessities, toiletries galore, decor on point… truly a gem. The view from the apartment balcony is gorgeous. You can also go up 2 flights of stairs to the rooftop. This is the perfect location for restaurants and shops. For the beach, you can take a cable car down (€10 round trip), taxi, or most of the Lido/beach clubs have complimentary shuttles. Would highly recommend staying here!

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. ❤️

My stay at Giorgio's penthouse was absolutely fantastic! The space was pristine and incredibly comfortable, providing a perfect solo retreat. Giorgio was an exceptional host – very responsive, kind, and even shared some excellent local pizza recommendations. Everything was exactly as described, exceeding my expectations. I will definitely be returning to this Airbnb on my next trip!
