Beachfront holiday rentals in Metropolitan City of Messina

We came to spend two nights with my spouse at Katerina and Andrea's and the welcome was great, very nice hosts and good advice. We have crossed paths several times and they have always had a kind word and recommendations. Very well located apartment and superb view from the terrace. We recommend!

The appartment is located perfectly for staying at the beautiful beach and also to get up to the center of Taormine within minutes. We even got a lot of free drinks on our fridge, including local and tasty wine from Sicily. We felt very comfortable and safe in the appartment and surrounded area. In addition we got great recommendations for restaurants (very delicious), trips and other things to do. Many thanks to Rocco and Massimo, our stay was amazing! We definetly would book this accommodation again 100%. All the best and tanti saluti, Adriano and Julia

Very pretty and peaceful stay. Closely located to port for easy access to ferries to other islands

Lorenza happened to be in Lipari city on the ferry when we arrived and spontaneously transported some of our luggage by car to Canneto, while we took the public bus to the neighboring village. The reception was friendly, on request she gave some tips for shopping and activities. The apartment is clean, bright, modern and tastefully furnished, terrace overlooking the sea, the long village street/promenade and the neighboring islands Panarea and Stromboli. Shopping, bistros and restaurants within walking distance. Bus stop right in front of the house. Highly recommended!

Bartolo was excellent - very responsive, kind, and even came to meet us at the port to bring us to the accommodation! He gave us recommendations around town and was super thoughtful and kind. Would recommend staying here if you’re in Lipari!

Nice place to stay and enjoy access to Taormina and the lovely beaches.

A beautiful, simple stone house with blue doors and a veranda overlooking the sea and, on clear days, the Sicilian mainland. The two rooms are simply and tastefully furnished, they stay nice and cool during the day. Angelo's apartment is next door, he is a discreet landlord, very nice, helpful and accommodating.

Beautiful place to stay, perfect walking distance to the beach and front street!

Roberto's place really does look as good as the photos and was a slice of paradise. The pool and gardens were beautiful and the villa had everything we needed. Roberto was not around during our stay but replied to messages promptly and his mother lives next door should we have needed anything but didn't intrude. The area felt a little tired but people were friendly. There are plenty of delightful places to explore locally and further afield. Tindari has some fascinating ruins, Milazzo is nice for an evening stroll and has an amazing natural pool at the tip of the peninsula. Taormina was a lovely place to visit but felt extremely busy with tourists. The highlight for me was a trip up Mt Etna, the views are incredible! We have loved our time here and would happily come back. Thank you Roberto for sharing your place with us.

Daniela's place was perfect for us! Carmelo welcomed us and showed us around the beautiful grounds and the sea access, which was our favorite part of the stay! You see all these boats (some big and fancy) pulling up to the area for snorkeling...and we had free access to it every single day of our stay - it was such a plus for us! The water is gorgeous! Daniela and Carmelo were great hosts - communication before, during, and after our stay was the best.

Absolutely lovely Airbnb. Perfect for our large family and included a lovely breakfast spread. We arrived early and were allowed to check-in early. The pool and common areas were beautiful. Highly recommend.

Had a great time at this Airbnb with friends, would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing time at Giovanni‘s apartment was big and beautiful and the pool was amazing. And for an extra fee he picked us up from the airport and dropped us back afterwards. Beautiful clean apartment and large balcony. Great functional kitchen and large bedrooms. Easy walk into town there’s lots of bars, restaurants, cafes and shops. Will definitely be back!

We had a great week. The property is a perfect base for excursions to Mount Etna or the Alcantara gorge. The house is beautiful and super well equipped, really everything you need is present. The pool is perfect despite you need a swim cap. The town itself is not special. It's like taking a time trip 70 years back in time. There is a lot of empty and closed. We only went here to the Pizzaria (Orso), which has great pizza's. Fortunately, there is plenty to do in Taormina, so it is not a loss.

Great apartment with a nice view of Isola Bella! Everything was very clean and the hosts were really friendly. We especially enjoyed the pool!

Such brilliant hosts - this is one of my favourite air bnbs. The location was brilliant with access to semi private beach that had the clearest water I’ve seen. The terrace is so cool and the hosts are brilliant 👌 they were so helpful and thoughtful and did so much to look after us 👌

Everything was perfect. Perhaps even too much! When you leave Irene's house, you leave a piece of your heart and you really can't wait to return. The house has everything you need to stay in one of the most evocative and fascinating places in Italy and, why not, perhaps even in the world. I've been to Sicily many times, but I've never been to Torre Faro. Wonderful!! Spectacular view of the strait. Impeccable hospitality. I felt at home. For those who want to try an experience that goes beyond mere logistical accommodation, I highly recommend the small Casa di Irene. A turquoise pearl that stands out enchantingly in the small village, a stone's throw from everything you need. Thanks again Irene. You really are a superhost!!

We loved the location. About a 1/2 mile to restaurants and grocery. walking through neighborhoods. Apartment was right next to a small beach where locals go.

I was in Mazzeo at this amazing apartment for 5 days and I wished I would have been able to book for longer but it sells out fast! The apartment is pristine and the sea view (apt is on the 3rd floor!) (Ionian sea right in front of you, across the street) is something out of this world! Enza was fantastic, always available and very cordial and accommodating. I will be rebooking this apartment for 2026! The location is just perfect, avoiding crowds from Taormina and the restaurants on the boardwalk were absolutely fantastic, all of them!

A big movie theater for the sea: the view from the terrace is indescribably beautiful and is framed by the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. The apartment is fantastically located, quiet and yet in the middle of the village, which is good for all shopping. To swim, you climb over some rocks at the bottom of the harbor or take the path to Lazarro. From Ginostra, you can easily hike to the Sciara del Fuco to see the eruptions of Stromboli in the evening. Gianluca and Monica are always available as friendly conversation partners. You are private and undisturbed and enjoy this wonderfully remote place in the midst of the elements. I always like to come to Ginostra and can absolutely recommend Gianluca and Monica's apartments!

Federica is a great host! We got so much information through her and managed to drive around Sicily easier with her suggestions. Top recommendation, a beautiful place to visit and stay with high quality amenities, must visit and stay 😊

Loredana was a delightful host and the apartment was spotless and fully equipped with every thoughtful detail we could imagine for a comfortable stay. She greeted us upon arrival & oriented us, as well as departure. The neighborhood is quaint and walkable, away from all the tourist madness with a couple great restaurants and a nice grocery store nearby. It was a wonderful view and great to be right across from the beach. I was not prepared for how busy the streets in front of and behind the apartment can be. Even with a sound barrier, it did make sleeping difficult for me, though my husband slept fine. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

The hosts were super welcoming and flexible with the check in. We instantly felt at home when entering the apartment and loved how close it was to the beach. The apartment had everything we needed to get settled, toiletries, soft towels, water in the fridge and even some ice cream from the local ice cream shop. It’s an amazing place if you want to get away from the busy and touristy places, chill on the beach, get fresh fish directly at your front door and enjoy an almost private beach (speaking for the first week of June) We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Grazie Mille!

This little flat was ideal for our 5 night stay in Lipari. On the edge of town, it was quiet, but easy walking distance to the shops, restaurants and port. We loved sitting on the terrace with glimpses of the sea, listening to the birds and enjoying the flowers. There is a shingle beach 1 minute’s walk away where we swam in the morning and evening. The kitchen is tiny but we self-catered using the stovetop (no oven). The flat is just right for a couple’s getaway.
