Villa vacation rentals in Floresta

This is the most beautiful villa: well maintained, wonderful hosts, fully stocked with most everything you would need. The location is very good for exploring this part of the island and the views of the sea on one side, and Etna on the other is really remarkable. The hot tub and pool are amazing and the space is very well organized with large rooms and plenty of common areas.

This villa is pure magic. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty, light, and flow of the space. It’s full of natural light, with a spacious layout and thoughtful interior touches that make it feel both luxurious and homey. Every room felt intentional and serene, and having plenty of bathrooms made our stay super comfortable. The yard was a dream in itself with plenty of space for yoga, breakfast on the patio, swimming, and more. Truly, we all felt like princesses in a fairytale. Paul was an exceptional host — responsive, kind, and full of local recommendations that made our trip even better. He even let us store our bikes in the garage, which was so appreciated. We’re already dreaming about coming back. Highly, highly recommended.

Outside the city, this location is gorgeous with magnificent views, but it would be hard to travel without our rental car. The hosts were uniquely attentive, communicative, considerate, and generous. I wish I could say the location was quiet and peaceful, but the neighbor's honking geese and relentlessly barking dogs forced us inside in the mornings. That is one of few things we would wish different, in addition to the steep front walkway and stairwell, and complex garbage rules. However, we enjoyed the luxurious pool and panoramic terraces daily. The large overhang by the pizza oven allowed us to even appreciate the rainy days. The spacious kitchen and Sicilian-styled open layout allowed for family dinners and comfortable hang-outs. Brief maintenance visits by Giuseppe and Giulia occurred at 7:00 daily, but they kindly did not enter the house. Any questions were immediately answered, and requests carefully met. Overall, we felt welcomed, cared-for, appreciated, and unfettered.

Martina is a great host who hosted us very warmly. The house was clean and tidy, Martina was attentive to all our requests and was very available and efficient. The house is traditional and cozy, there is a lovely terrace with a great view. I would definitely recommend it. You just have to remember to have a car because the house is on the heights, or have the ability to climb steep enough stairs for about 10 minutes. However, the stairs lead directly to the city center.

We enjoyed staying at Alessandra's holiday home during a very warm few days in early September. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was very much appreciated. The house is on a very busy road but once you have negotiated the gates there is no road noise at all as the house is set well back from the road. The house is surrounded by lovely gardens and has a fabulous swimming pool which we used daily and was just the job after a hot day sight-seeing in the locality. We were very comfortable in the house which had everything we needed for 4 adults.

We had a very nice week !

This space is amazing and right on the water that you can swim in. Not much to do in the town but a nice space that’s in between some of the bigger coastal cities. For comfort I recommend using the mosquito netting and night and opening some windows for colder air. Overall would stay again.

We spent two nights at Tatiana and Giancarlo's place. The place has everything you need and Tatiana was incredibly helpful. We were also sent a brochure with helpful information about the place and what Tatiana could help with. The place is 5 to 10 minutes walking a lot of stairs up to the city center and the gondola of Mazzaro and the villa itself is sheltered from the noise of the city. There is also a great pool area on the property that you can use if desired. Everything was clean and the apartment appeared very exclusive in the furnishings and decor. There is good and sheltered parking at the property. We recommend the place and had a wonderful stay.

We would like to thank Alessandra for the wonderful service and most important the incredible stay at their house. This was one of the best places we have stayed in. She is most definitely a super super and top top host. Keep it up and we will definitely be back. Thanks once from the whole family.

This villa is not a modern hotel but a grand estate reminiscent of the aristocracy of Italy; private, but living within the culture of the surrounding area. The grounds are lush and gated with a very large swimming pool. A car is necessary to get to other cities and/or bus stops/train stations. The GPS on our personal phones was excellent and useful in traveling around Sicily. Our hosts, Francesco and Maria, were warm and genteel. They live on the premises next to the villa so access to their assistance and advice was always available via phone, AirBNB and What's App. The beds are antique and amazingly comfortable - a recommendation would be to have additional pillows available for those who may not be back sleepers. We had 7 women from our bookclub back home and it sleeps 13 so there is plenty of space for a larger group. We would stay at the villa again if we do go back to Sicily. We had a great time!!!!

Beautiful environment, nice villa and very friendly hosts!!! And we were lucky enough to see a live eruption, it was magical! Thank you!

Emanuele's home was even more beautiful rhan the pictures. it was a paradise just above the town but with easy access yo everything. We had everything we could want and were spoiled for choice for views. Absolutely lovely!

This is the best place I could have selected for my families first visit to Europe! I wish I would have stayed longer as I didn’t realize how perfect the location and caliber of villa until we arrived. I would go back and recommend to all. Food, beauty, nightlife, architecture, shopping and the gorgeous sea! This place gave our family of 6 unforgettable memories, even seeing Mt.Etna erupt from the roof top!

This place is heavenly !!!! Hidden away in a lemon orchard with a beautiful pool! Hosts are amazing !!

I, my wife and our 10-11 month baby had a fantastic one month stay at Villa Britannia. The beautiful villa had everything we looked for: great location, a lovely garden (in which "The Snake" by DH Lawrence was written), a big kitchen (great for perfecting Pasta alla Norma), seaview and parking (the large garage could easily fit our quite long estate car). Louisa and her husband Marco are lovely people and provided service on a far higher level than most Airbnb-hosts. Any minor issues were quickly sorted out. Louisa would bring us wines to try and proactively let us know about events in town or traffic challenges, as well as giving great recommendations and help with any problem. We were provided with a baby cot, a baby bath, several (!) baby chairs and lots of toys. Could not ask for more. We really hope to be back one day!

This is wonderful property with a spectacular view. The Pool is superb and gardens beautifully maintained. We didn’t mind the stairs up to the entrance but I can understand this might bother some people. Well appointed kitchen and plenty of spaces to sit and enjoy the view.

We stayed here as a family for a week. The place is very nice and well maintained. In particular, the large garden where you always have the choice between sun and shade is great. The accommodation itself has everything you need including coffee and breakfast snacks. By car, supermarkets and restaurants are quickly accessible and the old town of Syracuse is only 15 minutes away. Silvia is very friendly and helpful. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed the tranquility.

The place is amazing. A beautiful place with a spectacular ocean view. The host was very nice. We loved it there.

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.

A beautiful villa with old-world charm yet modern feeling. Amazing views of both the ocean and Etna. Well maintained gardens and grounds, with a lovely pool and sitting area. Pino and Viviana were always quick to respond and helpful. Truly a special place

Guiseppe was probably the best host we have ever been to . He is super friendly , flexible and gave us priceless recommendations for the surroundings and local restaurants. He even send us the perfect parking spots for sightseeing!!! His enchanting Mum was living next door, which was a plus for quick questions. Highly recommend the place.

We had a lovely stay at Villa Ambra. As others have mentioned in previous reviews, the place looks better than in the pictures. It was clean and had a very nice outdoor area with a pool, sunbeds, dining area, grill and table tennis. We had to check in very late, but that was no problem which was very nice. We would also like to recommend the taxi driver Carmelo and his son Luca, recommended by the host of the villa (his card is in the villa). Carmelo was like our private guide every time we needed to go somewhere and told us a lot about the history of Naxos, Taormina and Castelmola. On the final day he took us to Siracusa for a day trip, which we highly recommend!

Probably one of my favorite Airbnb experiences so far. The place is beautiful, even more beautiful than the photos, super spacious, has everything we needed and more, and had stunning views of Etna. We felt right at home and did not even want to leave the place to explore. Daniella was a superstar, she was very friendly, proactive, responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for accommodating us, we had a wonderful time.

A great home away from home for the Christmas Holiday. The kitchen was amazing and allowed for us to make all our traditional Christmas dishes. Furthermore, the living room was cozy. The couch was perfect and allowed multiple people to curl up and watch Christmas movies. Additionally, the gaming room provided much needed space for board games, karaoke, puzzles, and reading. The house was immaculate, and our host was absolutely wonderful. We showed up late the first evening and our host made traditional Sicilian delicacies for us to eat. The arancini were delicious. I would 100% come back, especially in the summer so I can enjoy their beautiful pool. 100% recommend.
