Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bova Marina

Empfehlenswert: Wir haben die Zeit in Taormina/Trapitello sehr genossen , atemberaubende Villa mit fantastischem Blick auf den Etna

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.

I highly recommend this Villa - it surpassed our expectations. The best aspect is Maurizio’s services and excellent communication. He helped organise transfers (even at very short notice), arranged pizza chefs at the villa, and reliably responded to all our requests promptly. Hospitality and care like a 5* hotel. I planned a trip for 4 days for a group of 14 girls in mid-May. As soon as we landed in Catania, we felt we were being personally looked after. Maurizio helped me pre-arrange minibus transfers and kept in regular contact to ensure all was well. Exploring the grounds of the villa was a highlight. We enjoyed fresh oranges from the trees and squeezed large lemons into our drinks. There’s an excellent outdoor gazebo area with concrete ground and tent-like roof surrounded by beautiful trees. The terraces provide beautiful views of the sea, sunset and islands. The kitchen is small but was sufficient to cook for 14 people, with large pots/pans. Bedrooms huge and spacious

Carlo was a super friendly host. We felt welcome in the truest sense of the word. We were greeted by him personally with a huge bowl of fresh fruit and a homemade cake! Carlo was very concerned about our well-being and gave us lots of great tips and recommendations for the region. The house with the large garden in a very quiet location offers a great view of Mount Etna and at the same time you can hear the sound of the sea. The house is very tastefully furnished, very clean and comfortable. As soon as it got dark, we enjoyed the view of Mount Etna from the fireplace. We would love to come back at any time and can highly recommend this accommodation.

Cinzia is a wonderful host, and the home is outstanding — so peaceful and full of charm. We had a truly great time there and would love to return for a longer stay. Thank you for such a lovely experience! ♥️

We had a fantastic eight day stay in Mario’s wonderful villa. The location and views are incredible and we would highly recommend staying here. Mount Etna even erupted and put on a display (which was fabulous to witness) and Mario was hot on the phone telling us to get outside at 11pm to view the spectacle. A perfect venue with lots of space for our large party of eight adults and two children, the surrounding patios gave amazing panoramic views of the sea and countryside. We loved picking fresh oranges and cherries daily which was so relaxing and tasty! It’s a short 15 minute walk to the local town with a wonderful bakery and butchers plus supermarkets all accessable. We will definitely return to this wonderful villa when revisiting Sicily and I can’t recommend it enough! Thank you Mario .

Gwendalina's place was exactly as pictured and very centrally located right next to the cathedral and the fish market. The terrace was a great addition. Gwendalina was also super proactive with check-in and was very responsive. Definitely recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt in einem traumhaften Haus! Wir möchten uns ganz herzlich bei Alberto für die tolle Zeit in seinem Haus bedanken! Schon bei der Ankunft waren wir begeistert – die Bilder in der Anzeige entsprechen absolut der Realität. Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt, großzügig geschnitten und liegt in einer wunderbar ruhigen Gegend – perfekt, um abzuschalten und das echte Sizilien zu genießen. Wir waren mit unserer achtköpfigen Familie dort und hatten mehr als genug Platz. Jeder hatte seine Rückzugsmöglichkeit und trotzdem gab es viele schöne gemeinsame Bereiche – ob auf der Terrasse mit Ausblick, beim Essen im Freien oder im gemütlichen Wohnzimmer. Wichtig zu wissen: Das Haus ist nur mit einem Mietwagen erreichbar und die Auffahrt ist recht steil. Es braucht etwas Übung und ein bisschen Fahrgefühl – erfahrene Autofahrer schaffen das aber gut. Dafür wird man mit absoluter Ruhe und einer tollen Aussicht belohnt. Die Kommunikation mit Alberto war von Anfang bis Ende h

Stayed in this lovely apartment with my boyfriend whilst visiting Taormina. Location couldn’t have been better right in the old town with all the best restaurants right on our door step. The cable cars to the beach were only a 5 minute walk away too! Lovely big terrace and amazing views with Etna in the distance. Only catch is it is the top floor which is great for the views but not for the faint hearted on the stairs! Would definitely stay again :)

Great location and perfect for our family of four! Easy to walk to restaurants and stores. Parking our car in the garage was super convenient.

Concetta was very engaged since we made the reservation. she helped us plan our visit to Naxos and Taormino. She was very accommodating with our travel timing. Her recommendations for boat rental, local travel, restaurants,... were all spot on we enjoyed all of them. She even stopped by to touch base, help us with our stay, and the travels. Her place is very conveniently located to all the activities,stores and public transport.

We had a truly wonderful time at this apartment in Taormina. The place was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed to feel at home. The location couldn’t be better – just steps away from Porta Catania and Corso Umberto, making it super convenient to explore the town. You can also do a little trekking to Castelmola through the Saracen Path nearby. Our host, Lory, was incredibly kind and responsive throughout our stay. She shared great recommendations for restaurants and shopping, which made our experience even more enjoyable. On our last day, she even helped us arrange an early morning taxi to the bus terminal – a gesture we truly appreciated. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Taormina!

Sehr entspanntes Anwesen direkt am Etna - etwas rustikaler aber mit sehr viel Charme. Wir waren mit Baby hier und haben uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt und die ruhige Berglage genossen. Vor Ort gab es alles, was wir brauchten und auch die Küche war gut ausgestattet. Ende Mai war es dort auf 700m Höhe noch etwas frisch, weshalb wir den Pool nicht wirklich nutzen konnten. Ich denke am besten kommt man hier im Sommer hin, wenn es an der Küste schon zu heiß ist und man vor der Hitze fliehen will. Wir konnten den großen Außenbereich aber trotzdem sehr geniessen. Ein Auto ist unbedingt erforderlich und die Anfahrt von der Küste ist stellenweise steil, kurvig und zieht sich ziemlich hin - da hat man nicht sehr oft Bock drauf.. Wir haben auch deshalb nur jeden zweiten Tag Ausflüge gemacht und ansonsten viel am Haus entspannt. Andrea war sehr nett und hilfsbereit und obwohl er selbst in den Urlaub gefahren ist, sehr gut zu erreichen.

Encantados con la casa de Elisa, fuimos en familia y con auto. Es muy práctico ya que tenes lugar para estacionar en la puerta de la casa. Estaba todo impecable y Elisa te espera con todo para una rica merienda o desayuno. También te asesora para ir al centro a través de un ascensor y las mejores playas para visitar. Sin dudas volvería!!

The apt was clean and had all the amenities one could ask for. Rosario let us drop our luggage off before check in time,which was a huge help! Couldn’t be happier with her hospitality!

Davide and Mary’s place was beyond expectations. Felt right at home, this huuge under roof apartment and Davide’s warm welcome made us feel right at home. We were there for visiting Etna, the place is strategically placed, 45 min by car to Rifugio Sapienza (Etna SUD) and 40 to Piano Provenzana (Etna Nord). 15 min to the sea and an amazing view on the valleys a big terrace and two balconies to enjoy the quietness of the surroundings and the landscape. Every detail of the house is in place. Just loved everything of it!! 🥹🫶🏻❤️

We were two Canadian couples staying for 5 nights (after visiting Milano/Genova), with a car that we rented at Catania airport. We arrivred at 9PM but our host Nando was communicating us and received us in person. Upon arrival, fridge had some complimentary sandwiches, juice drinks and snacks, and a delicious homemade cake. Lovely place, peaceful, spacious, additional to detail, comes as advertised. Beautiful 180 degree view, when sitting outside by the pool, and even from main salon/kitchen. Loved the bedrooms and in particular the high quality mattresses and sheets. Made good use of the washing machine as we had a lot of laundry from our first week in Italy. Nando was very thoughful and proactive in checking in on us and suggesting places to visit and eat at. Good location, about a 10-15 minute drive to Taormina parking and a short drive to get on highway to visit Mount Etna or Syracuse/Ortigia. We had a wonderful stay in Sicily, thank you Nando!

Gorgeous house, excellent location, and such gracious hosts! Daniele and his parents were both lovely. The space is clean and has everything we needed. The pool is the perfect afternoon relaxing spot. It’s well kept and very clean, which we can only imagine a huge feat considering the volcanic ashes! We also went up Mt Etna with Daniele. He’s a great guide as well! Overall 10/10 recommend.

Melania è stata gentile e disponibile da subito. La casa è super carina e comoda. Immersa nel parco naturale, vicina alle gole dell'Alcantara. Tranquilla e rilassante ma comunque non distante al centro abitato. La famiglia di Melania, che abita al piano di sotto, si è resa disponibile per qualsiasi cosa. Torneremo molto volentieri e lo consiglierò ad amici.

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!

Beautiful and comfortable! The pool and views put this over the top perfect. Many steps, but the walkway is lovely. There is a short uphill distance to walk to town center. Our group ranged in age from 60-72, all moderately fit, and we did ok. We had some difficulty finding the place when we first got there , but we are not experienced travelers and made a few mistakes in directions. Sabina was easily accessible and very helpful in guiding us. Helga was wonderful in her communications and had many recommendations. Her driver service for our Mt Etna excursion and return trip to the airport was professional, friendly, and easy to contact. We very highly recommend!

Claudia hat uns direkt persönlich begrüßt. Wir haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt. Die Unterkunft ist sehr ruhig. Das Bett super bequem. :) Man hat viel Platz! Wir können die Unterkunft von Herzen empfehlen.

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

Absolutely stunning! Loved every part of our stay here. Amazing location which is close to great places to visit but far enough away from the crowds. Lovely for a chillout and sightseeing. Fantastic welcome from Gabriella and Alfio, we really didn't want the holiday to end. We recommend the trek up Mt. Etna with Alfio, although be warned it is not for the faint hearted. It was more difficult than expected but well worth it as the views are spectacular and Alfio is a fantastic guide. Grazie mille to both Gabriella and Alfio for getting it completely right in everything they do.
