Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Giardini Naxos

Benny is an incredible host. We had a wonderful two days there. His place is in a great location and we loved everything about it! We also went to CutìLuDissi which is his and his business partner’s restaurant. It is located right where everything is happening and the entire meal was delicious. We can’t wait to go back!🇮🇹

A really beautiful and confortable home with a lovely hostess! Laura's home is beautifully decorated with an amazing scented garden with a view. Perfectly situated in the old Taormina, 20 meters from Porta Catania to which you enter the main street, Corso Umberto, full of shops, restaurants, and many churches to visit. A very pleasant walk in the morning when not too busy to discover the beautiful architecture of the town, stop off for breakfast then visit the Teatro Antico. The view is fabulous. If you walk to the end of Corso Umberto just after Porta Messina, take the cable car down and visit the small Mazzaro beach. Have an expensive but worthwhile drink at the Villa Sant'Andrea hotel, stunning and lovely staff. On Laura's suggestion and help for the reservation, we had a wonderful diner at Casa Niclodi, a must! We can't wait to return and visit more the surroundings, but Laura's home is hard to leave! Thank you Laura for your very warm welcome, you really made us feel at home.

Our stay in the cottage was completely successful. We enjoyed the house very much – it is tastefully and comfortably furnished and is ideal for families with children. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful view of the sea. There were three of us there with our son and often cooked ourselves in the evening, as the kitchen is well equipped. The beds are also very comfortable – we didn't have any back pain. The location of the house is ideal: it is located in a quiet environment, yet centrally located between Taormina, Etna and Catania. So we could easily explore all the sights along the east coast. Parking was also no problem – you just have to park a little slower.

The apartment was a great option for us to stay long-term in Sicilia outside the bigger cities but still close. We enjoyed our stay so much as it is calm with a beautiful view from the balcony, a fireplace inside and so many cozy corners. The flat has everything you need, is well equipped (really enjoyed the beamer for movies and the sound system for music) and Angelo was always so helpful. Acireale has very nice cafés and restaurants and after some days you get familiar with the surroundings and staff starts greeting you as it becomes a regular place. The station is a bit far but nontheless we enjoyed the walk there and so many other cities and places (including Etna, Catania…) are reachable within minutes or hours from there.

Great stay! Enjoyed the nautical theme of the house. Large space the great nearby access to Mt Etna and Catania. Thank you for hosting our family on this trip!!

The house was great, and the gardens and grounds with pool were absolutely outstanding, with the most wonderful views of the coastline, and easy access to Mount Etna too, I would definitely come again (when the weather is warmer!). Our Host, Vanessa, was absolutely wonderful and was incredibly proud of her home country and the local area, and was super responsive for anything we needed.

Vincenzo's property is a really great and quiet place where you can base yoyrself to visit this part of Sicily. Taormina us really close as is Catania ! Vincenzo is super friendly and offered to help us as much as we wanted of the lemons and oranges that grow on his land. Nice shot of vitamin c in the morning.

Everything was perfect! We had a great time at Etna's! We particularly appreciated the garden which is just beautiful! 🤩 Thank you for everything!

This place is super clean and cozy, with a terrific view of both the Etna volcano and the seashore. You could have both shimmering dots along the coast and the flaming mountain summit - if you're lucky enough. The supermarket is easy to reach and the airbnb is close to the city center. Chiara is super reliable and responds quickly. Angela is super nice as well. I would definitely recommend this house to you!

The views from this fifth floor apartment are gorgeous. The place was clean, spacious and comfortable for our large family. The area was safe and very easy to walk to the central area for shopping and dining. We loved our brief stay in Taormina.

I can’t say more good things about Sabrina’s place. We practically lived out on the balcony but the interior was also beautiful, immaculate, clean, and carefully curated with beautiful and local decor. We lived in a dream this week! Sabrina was also extremely communicative and provided great recommendations as well! She gave us a tour when we arrived and was so pleasant. Check out was made so easy having to do nothing with sheet or trash too. The pull out couch was made when we arrived and is in the bed room, allowing for the living room couches to still be used. It was comfy, cozy, and had everything we needed. Including an unbeatable view and balcony. Grazie millie!!!

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 .

Amazing place for a short stay with family and friends. The place was very clean, well equipped, and exactly like in the pictures. The view from the balcony was especially beautiful. The only complaint is that it is a bit cold in the bathrooms but other than that it was perfect. Would definitely recommend.

If Sicily was an apartment - this would be it. It is lovely, very well decorated and gives you the full sicilian feeling. The terrace is very useful, you have the view on the sea and the mountains and it is large enough for all activities. Private and gated parking in front of the building, very easy to park safely. The host had all of the qualities of a good host - on time, responsive, willing to help, even gave us a small gift for easter. If you come here you will have a nice apartment, a friendly host and a good experience overall.

We stayed at Elvira’s wonderful home for four days, from April 22 to April 26. Elvira is the perfect example of a kind and responsible host, always ready to assist with any question or need. The house is beautiful, located right in front of the sea and the promenade, offering a breathtaking view — it truly feels like watching a piece of paradise. Parking was never an issue, as there was always plenty of space right in front of the house. In this lovely small town, people are incredibly kind, and we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Hearing the beautiful Italian language all around made the experience even more special. Elvira constantly checked in to make sure everything was perfect, even when we didn't need anything — her attention to detail was remarkable. We will definitely come back and highly recommend her home to all our friends. Thank you for everything, dear Elvira — we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Rocca was a brilliant host. She always responded quickly to any query, gave great recommendations for restaurants and shops and directions to local sights. The apartment was spectacular. Although photos are accurate, they don’t really show the beauty of the apartment or how clean and fresh it was. Ample space for 6 people (we were a party of 5). We didn’t want to leave! It is also a 5 minute walk into the centre of town, 10 minutes to the cable car or amphitheatre . I had not realised how accessible it was. I’m sure it is closer than many of the hotels. The grounds are beautiful and we enjoyed the pool. We have fallen in love with Taormina. It was brilliant being right in town, yet in a peaceful apartment. Rocca could not have been a better host. Thank you for a wonderful holiday

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!!!!

I rented Marco's place to celebrate my 30th birthday with my friends, and it was the best choice. The living room/game room offered good entertainment in the evening, and its location made it very easy for us to reach Mount Etna and go hiking in the mornings/afternoons. The place was spotless, and Marco was an incredibly responsive host and always willing to help. The only downside was the temperature, which was a bit colder than desired. The heating came on mostly when we weren't home and was set to 19°. The fire in the living room kept us warm enough in the evening, but more warmth there and in the rest of the house would have been appreciated. Overall, we had a very good experience and I would recommend its place to anyone wanting to explore Etna and have fun!

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.

Here’s an enhanced version of the message, suitable for feedback: Villa Olivia is a wonderful place, full of history, perfect for a city break in Catania. The atmosphere is charming, and the location is ideal for exploring the city. Isabella is an amazing host who ensured our stay was exceptional, with attention to every detail. We felt truly welcomed and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience.

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!

Had a wonderful time at Francesco's place! He and Giovanna were very welcoming and generous hosts, sharing local recommendations and even some home made wine! The pool was the perfect spot to cool off after a hot day and the house was well placed for excursions to Etna. Thank you both for a delightful stay !

Mara’s place is one of the most beautiful Air BNB settings I have stayed in. The gardens, pool, patio area - it’s absolutely majestic! We did a family trip with 11 people and it was the perfect amount of space (4 couples and 3 teenagers). My parents were able to have their own separate quarters (an old pool house?) that was adorable! The house was clean and comfortable. When we had questions or needed something Mara would be there in 5 min. Our last night, we felt the rumbles of Mt Etna and sat by the pool as we watched her lava flow! We had the best trip and stay and highly recommend staying in one of Mara’s beautiful homes!
