Villa holiday rentals in Floresta

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 second visit and we found it to be the perfect stylish get away. There were some improvements since our last visit including upgraded bathrooms which were greatly appreciated. Once again we found the view from the pool itself to be endlessly fascinating and deeply relaxing. Thank you for hosting us with so much kindness and warmth and making our stay perfect.

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.

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!

Jacqueline is very friendly and you will get a super special view

Arrigo and Sabrina are the perfect hosts! They were incredibly friendly and provided lots of helpful information about the local area, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The apartment was excellent — clean, comfortable, and exactly as described, with all the amenities we needed. We especially loved the outdoor space, which was perfect for relaxing and enjoying meals together. Everything felt very welcoming from the moment we arrived. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Sandra was amazing. Very responsive and friendly. The place was perfect. 3 nice sized bedrooms each with their own bathroom. Nice living/dining space and nicely appointed kitchen area. Outdoor balcony was the perfect spot for breakfast with a stunning view. The pool was the star of the show, complete with lounge and bar area, bathroom and outdoor shower. Overall a perfect spot to anchor yourself as you explore the region.

Sarah's house is an oasis of beauty, nestled in lemon trees with a wonderful view between Etna and the sea. Sarah is an exceptional host, caring, attentive and always friendly. The ideal place to regenerate and take care of yourself.

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.

My husband is in a wheelchair and Maria went out of her way to rent a wheelchair for our stay. The villa looked better in person than in the pictures. Everything was clean and the kitchen well stocked, including a juicer for fresh orange juice.

The property is in easy access of shops, restaurants and site seeing such as Taormina and Mt Etna. The villa is set in beautiful and immaculately maintained grounds. Giuseppe has very green fingers and the tree ferns and palm trees are magnificent. There is also a really lovely pool which is a great size and very deep one end. It is also spectacularly clean - you will never swim in a cleaner pool. Giuseppe and Giulia are charming and attentive hosts. We were very appreciative of them taking time to show us around the area, the shops and local restaurants - this was super helpful and enabled us to start our holiday straight away! Our hosts were always willing to help out and brought wonderful treats for us the try out throughout our stay. They could not have been more welcoming. The villa has lots of outdoor space which is very well lit at night making cooking and eating outside a real pleasure. We had a very relaxing holiday.

My family and I stayed at Villa Vittorianna for a week in June. The property is beautiful, with panoramic views of Giardini Naxos, the Adriatic Sea + Taormina (from the pool) and Mt. Etna (from the rooftop deck). The surrounding neighborhood had easy access to many excellent restaurants, cafes and beach clubs. Emanuele was a great host and Oli, the local property manager was extremely friendly and responsive. I recommend this stay for anyone looking for a luxurious beach getaway in Sicily. We will remember this week for years to come.

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.

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. ❤️

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!

Sonia was extremely helpful and attentive. The villa is absolutely beautiful and has plenty of great space where everyone can relax. Views of Etna and the ocean! Very safe gated community and peaceful. Riposto is a great spot to enjoy on its own (marina, fish market, beaches) or to easily get to Taormina, Etna, Catania, Siricusa/Ortigia. Sonia will help you with advice on local activities, questions/tips about your plans, or will plan things for you. We were here on a family trip (2 adults and young teenagers) and couldn't have been more pleased.

Silvia was an excellent host, always responsive and very helpful. We were able to find the villa with her instructions and she was there to greet us and say goodbye when we left. The villa was spotless and we loved the outdoor space with all its different seating areas and bbq. The house was well equipped with thoughtful touches. There were lots of little extras for our stay including clean towels, jams, treats and Prosecco. A great base for exploring Sicily’s south east. Highly recommend this stay.

Great place! Convenient to all the main attractions. The host was very helpful in organizing local adventures!

We spent a wonderful week exploring the sights of Sicily (you definitely need a car) and having the oasis of Charlotte’s beautiful home to chill in the afternoon and evenings. The pictures do not do the garden justice and is a charming sun trap where we picked lemons and rosemary for our meals. Charlotte was on hand to answer any queries - the nearest supermarket (2 minute walk away), bakery (the sweetest place a 5 minute drive away), how to use the washing machine but never intruded - it is completely your own space. We visited Siracusa, Ortigia, Noto, Ampitheatre, Avola (beautiful beach, free parking, gorgeous ice cream shop on main road) and Ragusa (1.5 hour drive but spectacular views and so worth it!). We had a fabulous week, made all the better by Charlotte 🙂

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. 🍋💕

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!

Giovanni’s place is very nice and well-appointed. Giovanni and his wife Jenny were very prompt in helping us with some issues we had at home. I strongly recommend this place but preferably during the spring/summer season.

Amazing house and super kind owner! You can feel it’s very relaxing, clean and great place to rest. Indeed, you probably cannot get here without a car, and the road is quite challenging. But the house is rewarding you as soon as you open the gate :) I recommend 100%

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!
