Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bova Marina

Sergio’s villa was the most beautiful place that we have ever stayed. Olive and citrus trees right in the yard and pristine views of Mount Etna. Restaurants, coffee, shops, and pharmacies were all within short walks from the home. I would stay again in a heartbeat, if Sergio would have us.

Perfect location right near the entrance for the old town

Wow! This was one of the best outfitted, beautiful properties we have ever stayed at. Dortea was a fantastic, responsive and helpful host. We were just in Amalphi and this location rivals the Italian riviera with wonderful views and Taromina just on it's doorstep. It was easy to walk to Isolabella and the bus and cable car were convenient for travelling to Taromina. The hot tub this time of year was wonderful. Thank you Dortea for the wonderful orientation that allowed us to make the most of our time in this beautiful part of Sicily.

Great location! The host is so accommodating, offers great communication and the place is perfect. Thank you Stefano,we will be back in a year.

We stayed for a week during New Year. With a two families, in total 9 people. Great place and great host. The surroundings and views are beautiful. The property has everything including a lot of fruit trees. You are close to the beach and there is a nice family style bakery and restaurant right around the corner. The house is next to a highway. You do notice at first, but after a couple of hours it’s not a big deal. There was a problem with the electricity but Mauricio handled it well and quickly. He is a great host.

The check-in was flexible and easily arranged. The villa was beautiful and very comfortable for two couples, located outside of the city which makes it easy to unplug and relax. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Our stay in Sicily was truly unforgettable! The house had a beautiful character, filled with charming details that made it feel like a home. The garden was a stunning oasis, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the warm Sicilian evenings. Our host, Carlo, was exceptional—always available to answer questions and provide recommendations. The highlight of our trip was the incredible five-course Sicilian dinner Carlo organized for us, showcasing the region's delicious cuisine. Each dish was a delight! The location itself is a must-visit, with breathtaking views and rich culture all around. We felt immersed in the beauty and warmth of Sicily. Highly recommend this lovely spot for anyone looking to experience the best of the island!

Our time at Mario’s house was amazing. The pictures do not do justice to the views from all parts of the home. The property is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. It is huge and beautiful. The home is very safe and is surrounded by a gate, including the driveway. The surrounding area is quaint and very walkable. There are cafes and small shops. We were a party of 8, with two families of 4. There was plenty of space for us all to stay comfortably. Mario and his family were kind and gracious hosts. We would absolutely recommend staying here and my children have asked how soon we can return :)

Great apartment with everything you need to enjoy your holiday. Perfect beach location. Restaurants and supermarket very close. Maria is a great host, making you feel very welcome ready for your Sicilian adventure.

Excellent stay at Andrea's, the apartment matches the photos, very clean and excellent location I would recommend it without hesitating Thanks to Andrea

Antonella is super nice and a great host. Her place is tiny but we figure out how to accommodate everything, put the luggages underneath the table and get before the clothing for the day, there’s no space for medium luggage. Is exactly like she describes. It’s a sofa bed and I could not deal with, so we put the mattress on the floor and slept super well 🤗 she left cookies and wine, so nice of her. Linen and towels high quality! The location is premium!

We had a fantastic stay at Concetta's place. The house is beautifully decorated and very welcoming and cosy, so adults and children alike felt right at home. It's not huge but the space is very well organised. Our kids even missed the place after we left. The location is unbeatable, right at the heart of the Giardini Naxos seafront. There is a parking lot nearby, and we visited in April so there was ample parking along the beach. The place is surrounded with restaurants and cafes, there is a small grocery store right next door and a larger one across the street. Concetta was very welcoming and responsive. Overall, this was a perfect place for us (family with 3 young kids) to explore the east side of Sicily, and we would definitely stay here again if visiting the area.

A charming and beautifully located spot in the heart of Taormina. The space was clean, well-maintained, and perfectly situated for exploring the area. The host was attentive and maintained excellent communication throughout our stay.

Great Family Family Family Living My group of friends and I loved the place offered by Mike and Nerissa. The cottage has all the necessary comforts for short and long-term stays. The highlights of the property are definitely the sea view, the outdoor garden for outdoor meals, and the proximity to the free beach. Highly recommended!!!

We stayed for a week at 6 people on the upstairs part of the house. The apartment does not fully match the photos since a bedroom has been added to the living room … but the living room remains very spacious. There were no shutters ( and no opaque curtains in the living room) which is a shame when you sleep in the living room and the sun rises at 6 a.m. ... and especially to cut off the sun when it's very hot . The kitchen was not sufficiently equipped rather rustic Thankfully Sonia was responsive to our requests. The A/C was essential but not good enough to refresh the rooms. I would say that the apartment is worth it for the terrace and the view of Taormina and the tranquility if there are people on the ground floor ( this apartment must be more suitable for a long stay). The exteriors are really magical and very enjoyable during the heatwave they are also very well maintained .

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!

The host is an old man who is going to be 90 years old.The old gentleman will be very enthusiastic about the condition of the place, where to rent a car, and which spots to go, where to eat local food?Although he is not very fluent in English, he will be very patient with the conversation with you through Google Translate.Although the location of the accommodation is not very convenient, it is very convenient to rent a small car as a mobile transportation, Taiwanese people are recommended to come to this place to stay.

Lovely Airbnb in a private compound. Walkable to the little village of Santa Tecla and to a Hotel with a nice Lido. Paolo was a great host and very responsive throughout the stay.

Andrea is a very good host. He was for example very quick te respond when we asked if there was a second key available. He also was at the house in person when we arrived, no key lock boxes. He was there himself for a tour of the house and hits and tips for a nice stay. An other bonus is the private acces to the sea.

Simply fantastic. This is one of those rare Airbnbs where you actually feel like a friend has let you stay in their house. I cannot recommend it enough.

We loved the house of Jaco, it had an amazing view and is super quiet. We made an phenomenal BBQ outside on the grill. We will come back for sure. Felt like home.

A private, relaxed villa for our group of two families with four kids. The pool area and surrounds were put to extensive use! Alberto is a wonderful, responsive host and a great local resource, with his many trip and restaurant suggestions adding great value to our trip. Etna put on a great show too which was a bonus!! All round great memories!

We had difficulty finding the location because Taormina is not an easy city to navigate in a car. Sabina was helpful in helping us locate the garage.

If you’re looking for a safe, secure, and spacious accommodation that feels isolated but is right next to everything you need to see in Taormina then you found the spot. The apartment has a beautiful terrace overlooking the Sicilian coastline and neighboring Calabria. Beautiful pool, gardens, and easy access to the Main Street of Taormina. The place was stocked with supplies, plenty of blankets, pillows, towels, some food, and a delicious bottle of wine as a welcome gift. Highly recommend for a first time visit to the area!
