Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Gioiosa Marea

My family and I loved our stay at Anita’s place! The apartment looks just like the pictures and is in a fantastic location, extremely close to restaurants, bars, shops and the cable car. Although you can hear people at the nearby restaurants in the evening, they didn’t disturb our sleep and I personally loved hearing people having fun. In addition, we couldn’t hear any noise at all when we were in the second bedroom. We had a rental car and parked in one of the garages outside the medieval gate and took the free shuttle back to the gate and walked to the apartment from there. It was quite easy and not troublesome at all. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

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!

We had a wonderful time with our 2 little chileren at the beautiful house. The view at the pool is incredible and the garden is beautiful and well maintained. Anna Lucia and Sergio are superfriendly and made us feel at home. We recommand this place enough!

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!

We had a good time at Giuseppe and Antonellas place. Enjoyed the view from the rooftop. It is placed in a charming part of town, with bakery and reTearants close by, and the churchbells ringing!

Alberto and his father Giorgio were the most gracious hosts! Giorgio took time to personally introduce me to the locals and showed me all the spots to visit in order to make the most out of my stay. I will most definitely be back!

This neighborhood of old fishermen's houses is very nice and quiet. The house is comfortable and the small garden is very nice. Claudio is a host like you don't meet often, affable, attentive, who loves his region and just wants to help you discover and appreciate it.

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 :)

My husband and I came for our honeymoon and found a house with a breathtaking view and an amazing pool. The house itself is also suitable for a couple with children. It had everything we needed, and we spent an incredible few days there. We highly recommend visiting for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Andreas house is like a home away from home. It is thoughtfully decorated, the lavastonehouse is charming and inside it has everything you need. The ourdoors is beautiful! The view is spectacular, the kids loved the pool and the sorroundings are unimaginable. You have to see it to understand, how wonderful it is. Andrea is the perfect helpful and informative host. The area is peaceful, a bit rural, but that makes it just better.

What a lovely place to stay.Marta and Fracesco are great hosts, they made us feel home. Marta showed us around the farm and their little museum. We were given welcome basket containing their fresh eggs from farm, home produced honey which tasted like no other honey I had, olive oil also produced by them, tomatoes, lemons and limes. There is a lovely swimming pool which you may share with other guests which was never an issue.Shops and restaurants are close , there is also train station where you can take train to Palermo if you don’t fancy driving.Anyone looking for traditional and rustic stay , this is place for you! We would definitely come back again. ❤️

Roberto’s place is wonderful. Everything was very well cared for, the pool was perfect and there were plenty of areas to relax and enjoy the scenery. We would definitely come back. Thank you

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.

This is a luxury gem hidden away in a tranquil location. The only minus off season was that most restaurants <30 minutes away were closed (October) otherwise this place is magic, clean, newly refurbished, has all necessary amenities, incredibly private and has excellent hosts and goat farmer neighbors ;)

As is often the case, the pictures of the view don't come close to the actual view we enjoyed during our stay. Absolutely breathtaking! The apartment was nicely appointed and around a 15 minute walk to the core town activities of Taormina. The owners of the apartment live upstairs and were a joy to get to know. If you love dogs, their sweet Papaya will become your new best friend. Our hosts were very responsive and even brought us some sweet lemon mousse (and shared the recipe!) for us to enjoy. I am quite certain we will be visiting Taormina again, as it is one of the most beautiful places on earth, and I will definitely look to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay - the villa is beautiful, in a lovely location, and we were made very welcome. We were given a delicious breakfast each day with freshly made cake and omelettes. The swimming pool is lovely and we had sessions of Pilates and yoga. I can’t think of anything about our stay that could have been improved. Thank you so much Corrado and your team for looking after us so well.

This is the best apartment we've ever stayed in, anywhere.. The apartment is spectacular, it's so much better than the photos, it is huge and the quality of furniture and decor is absolutely excellent. The location is perfect, it manages to be just a few steps from the main streets of taormina, yet it's also really quiet and secluded, very rare to find. We were met by Monica, who handles the property for the host, she was absolutely amazing, so friendly and helpful, and always available. It was my partners 40th birthday trip, and Monica even dropped off a surprise gift for her on the day, everything was above and beyond expectations. We had the best trip ever and if you are going to taormina, this is the place to stay, without question.

Excellent stay in Lipari in this house, which is really more beautiful than in the photos! The view is magical, the terrace huge, and by chance of the calendar maybe we were alone (the apartments below were empty). Impeccable cleanliness, no complaints. And Rachele offered to pick us up at the port, which was not necessary, having rented a car. The hosts speak almost no English but everything was so clear that it was not a problem. Great value, we recommend it!

Elisa and Nino were wonderful hosts. They made us feel right at home and went above and beyond… We loved the animals (dogs, cats, donkeys, pigs, sheep, goats, cows, chickens) and the scenery was beautiful. They cooked us dinner the first night with wine (for a small fee). Would recommend for a quiet peaceful stay on Sicily :-) thank you

Wonderful accommodation in a good, quiet location in Taormina. The cable car and the center of Taormina are easily accessible on foot. Angelo is a very good host, always proactive and supportive. I would take the apartment again immediately.

Giovanni is a kind host and really very helpful. He started to worry about my trip and my stay in Lipari already a week before, providing me with all the necessary directions to reach the island, to book the ferry, the shuttle, the car rental. He took care every day to ask me if I needed directions and information to get to places to visit, or simply to recommend a restaurant or supermarket near the house. The apartment is very modern, clean and really very nice. The terrace, as you can see from the photos, offers a unique view, both at sunset and early in the morning. You'll only hear the noise of the birds and the wind. To get to the house you have to rent a car or scooter, but it's definitely worth it. I hope to return to Lipari soon, and to be hosted again by Giovanni.

It was amazing to stay at Fabrizio’s home. It was my 2nd time now, and I have to say it always takes the breath away. The house was clean, well organised, it has anything you need, really. Was a delight. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

This was a fantastic airbnb!!! The property was beautiful- many windows overlooking the sweet little town and the vast Mediterranean Sea. It was very new inside with everything we needed to be comfortable and cook several meals. The interior is nice and larger than appears in the photos. The bed and bedding was wonderful. And screens on the bedroom window- rare in Italy. The host was responsive and the person who checked us in was lovely. Parking spot was spacious. (I advise you call or message the host for driving directions-Google maps sent us on a tiny road that was not the correct way). It’s a fun 10 minute walk to town. It smells like jasmine and is so peaceful. We ate our meals on the terrace overlooking the sea. Spectacular all around!

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!
