Villa holiday rentals in Marina di Acate

We had a lovely week in this charming property. The location is uniquely peaceful and unlike anywhere else we have stayed. The house is traditional in style and the pool was fantastic. Our 2 children loved roaming around the orchard and adored feeding the animals and collecting eggs from the hens. Gioacchino is a great host and very welcoming, he was on hand for any assistance but also very discreet at maintaining the large grounds whilst respecting guests privacy. We loved hearing all about the fruit and vegetables produced at the property. The shop just up the road is well stocked and has good quality items. A wonderful place to stay in this area of Sicily, we hope to return!

My family group of 10 (5 couples) had a fantastic stay at the villa. We were really impressed at the grand buildings and courtyard and especially the pool area. Ignazio was friendly and flexible with our check in time - and on arrival shared lots of recommendations and info on local amenities which was helpful. All of the bedrooms were clean and comfortable, and had big ceiling fans. We do suggest that more pillows are provided (it was mostly 1 per person). The dining area outside is beautiful and we spent a few evenings having dinner and playing cards under the fair lights. The driveway to the villa parking is rough, and you have to enter through a narrow archway. Definitely recommend having a car to explore the area - there's lots to see and do! The pool area was lovely, it felt clean and well kept and we spent most mornings around the pool in the beautiful Sicilian sun! Would recommend the villa to family groups as we've had a really great stay :)

The villa was very well presented, spacious and well equipped. It is in a peaceful, private countryside situation. The beds are comfortable with crisp white bedding and very clean bathrooms. The grounds are excellent being well laid out and maintained! The swimming pool is set slightly away from the main house and is all one depth which was excellent for our mixed age family group. The swimming pool has its own pool house with coffee machine, fridge, shower and toilet facilities. Electric gates provide added security!

Our stay at Simona's Sicilian farmhouse was simply perfect. The beautiful house and its serene setting offered ultimate comfort and everything we needed for a truly relaxing break. I adored cooking in the traditional kitchen, unwinding on the balconies with stunning sunsets, lounging by the pool, and strolling through the orange groves. Time seemed to slow down, providing the much-needed escape we craved. Simona was an exceptional host – the most helpful and personable we've encountered, always there when we needed her. We only wish we could have stayed longer! I wholeheartedly recommend this charming farmhouse for anyone seeking a genuine, tranquil base to explore authentic Sicily.

Thomas was a very warm and attentive host. We were greeted with a small welcome gift, which made the start of our stay particularly pleasant. His recommendations for restaurants and attractions in the area were excellent. Thomas was always available at short notice for questions and very helpful. The house itself is modern and extensively equipped, plus the beautiful sea view. The location is ideal to explore the surrounding villages and beaches. The house has a small, very well-kept garden with fresh herbs and vegetables. Overall a fantastic stay, we can well imagine coming back in the future.

We spent an unforgettable time as a family with two children in this beautiful cottage near Rosolini. The location is fantastic – very quiet and idyllically located in the countryside, with a magnificent view of the sea and the surrounding nature. The house itself is well equipped – everything is new, well maintained and very clean. From comfortable beds to the perfectly furnished kitchen, there was everything you need for a relaxing stay. Pool towels and outdoor dishes were also available – you can tell that everything has been thought of here. A real highlight is the beautifully landscaped garden: lovingly designed with flowers, cacti, palm trees and old olive trees. We also want to highlight the host who was incredibly friendly and helpful. He was always available, gave us great tips for excursions and was just very attentive. We would come back anytime!

The pictures, though amazing, really do not do this place justice. Absolutely stunning, inside and out! Etna was a little shy during our stay due to the mist and humidity, but when conditions were right, you get the perfect view from the balcony. What surprised me the most, in a good way, was how beautifully decorated the villa is. One of the nicer places I’ve stayed!

the cottage was amazing. interesting architectural details. nice little kitchenette that we were able to use. It has a washer for clothes which we desperately needed. It doesn't have a dryer though so we had to air dry our clothes. The pool was wonderful and we used it each afternoon after our morning trips to Siracusa, Noto, Modica and Ragusa. The Location is a little remote. You definitely need a car if you are staying here. we were able to find good restaurants in Scicli, Donalucata and Marina di Ragusa which were all within a 10 to 20 minute drive. Overall a wonderful experience with a laid back vibe that we really enjoyed.

Authentic Sicilian stay, close to beach, close to several towns.

Amazing Stay at a Beautiful Villa! We recently stayed at this lovely villa as a group of 15, and it was absolutely wonderful! The villa was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, making it the perfect place for a relaxing holiday.The ambiance truly enhanced our stay especially as we could see the Mediterranean Sea 🌊 Getting to the villa without a car was a bit of an adventure but entirely manageable with a little planning. For those flying into Catania Airport, you’ll need to take a bus from just outside the airport to the train station (€4), then catch an AST bus (opposite the train station) to Scicli (€9). This part of the journey takes about 2.5 hours. Once in Scicli, it’s only a 10-minute taxi ride to the villa. To buy your AST bus ticket, simply walk across from where the buses are parked, and you’ll find the AST office. While the journey is a bit longer if you don’t have a car, it’s absolutely worth it once you arrive. The villa and the surrounding area are stunnin

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful countryside home! The house was spacious, clean, and full of charm, with a fantastic pool that quickly became our favorite spot to relax and unwind. Carmelo was an exceptional host — kind, attentive, and always available if we needed anything. His hospitality truly made our stay feel special and stress-free. We made great use of the kitchen and the outdoor grill — perfect for enjoying meals together and making the most of the peaceful setting. Being in the countryside, the environment was calm and natural, with the occasional fly reminding us we were truly immersed in nature — it all added to the rustic charm. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily return. A perfect escape for anyone looking to slow down and soak up the tranquility of the countryside — with a fantastic host to match!

Wonderful villa just outside the beautiful town of Modica. Ideal location for visiting the spectacular baroque architecture of Modica, Ragusa and Noto, and within a reasonable distance from sandy beaches. The villa is exceptionally well equipped, spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained by Georgio who lives next door. We loved sitting outside and eating at the traditional ceramic Sicilian table and appreciated the various shady seating areas around the house and gardens. The swimming pool is a highlight and is kept clean and very well maintained by Georgio. Many thanks to Jennifer and Georgio for a wonderful week’s holiday.

Corrado was so nice and friendly, he was a gentle man. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was perfect. Pool was fabulous. Every recommendation Corrado gave us was superb from beaches to the unmissable Canyon, to restaurants to day trips. I would highly highly recommend this place and the wonderful Corrado

My family and I (9 persons) had a great time in Modica. The place is amazing, with the separate kitchen and the 3 houses. Also the garden and the swimming pool are great. Sofia was very kind and helpfull during our stay. We would recommend this place!!

This place is just wonderful for family holiday - the sea view is the best, the shady terrace just calls you to relax- the house itself is beautiful and functions well! Salvatore and his wife took so good care of us! If you like fresh seafood there are many nice, rustic restaurants within walking distance!

What a lovely house this is! With a beautiful garden all around and seating areas everywhere for sun or shade. The swimming pool and jacucci are perfect for cooling off or enjoying the evening. And you can walk straight to the beach or to the nearby pleasant town of Marzamemi. We immediately felt at home after we were welcomed by Rosanna. Fortunately, it was not a problem that we arrived very late. We had contact a few times during the week and minor problems were resolved immediately. All this ensured that we had a fantastic week in Sicily! ps : because we visited some nearby towns by car ( e.g. Noto, Syracusa, Modica, Marina Di Ragusa, Brucoli, Pozzallo) I had the opportunity to see a few other vacation rentals I found on Airbnb in advance. So happy I chose the perfect place!

Lovely house in a lovely place - off the beaten track and all the better for it. Thank you Paola for a much needed relaxing week and for being so helpful and responsive.

This is a great villa with sensational views. Well equipped and clean. The road to the villa is narrow so best for those with a modest sized vehicle but the views at the end are worth it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and interacting with our host.

When we arrived Angelo was there to meet us, and surprised us with a welcoming bottle of Prosecco and chocolate. Angelo showed us around and gave us advice and information about the area. The villa was perfect, well equipped with plenty of cutlery and china even a small selection of spices, washing tablets and also dishwasher tablets. The local super market is a short walk away as is the local market and beach. We walked to the square every evening , lots of locals meeting up making a lovely atmosphere, there are lots of restaurants and friendly bars. We had a few question during the few days we were staying at the villa and Angelo answer immediately. The pool area is beautiful and well kept with plenty of beds, chairs and a couple of coffee tables too. Although we didn’t use the BBQ we did eat breakfast and lunch outside on the large table. The beds were very comfortable. All in all Angelo was an amazing host and I would have no problem recommending Villa Sara to friends a

A very modern, clean and charming apartment with a spectacular pool and patio. About a 5min walk to the beach and a 15min drive to Noto. The apartment has two large bedrooms, a modern bathroom and a very nice outside kitchen next to the pool (but still private). Sandrine was terrific! She was very responsive and helpful. We happened to be there on a very stormy day and she let us use the indoor kitchen in the other vacant apartment. That was so nice!!! Everything was in excellent condition and immaculately clean!

Lovely house, lovely pool, very quiet, comfortable beds, would come back again

Great place away from everything! Great host!

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.

We had a fantastic stay! The host was incredibly hospitable, always quick to respond to any questions, and just genuinely kind people overall. They made us feel very welcome and ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. It’s always a pleasure to stay somewhere where the hosts truly care about their guests. Highly recommend this place — we’d happily stay again.
