Family-friendly vacation rentals in Gioia Tauro

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.

+ Everything is good and Franco is a very good host + He is always available and very helpful + Franco shows you the area. - The fridge is a bit noisy. - There is no real kitchen.

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 :)

A kind and considerate landlord. Always present and available. The house is in a strategic and central place. The layout and organization of the house is better than shown on the site (I would recommend to Alberto to take different photos). We had a wonderful time. Thank you

A beautiful place to rest and recharge. Hosts who have made us feel like home. Breakfast is spectacular and all the pastries and homemade jams are well worth trying. Delicious coffees and oranges freshly picked from the tree. Definitely one of those places to recommend.

Breathtaking view, calm countryside and yet right in the middle of all the places you’d want to see in north-east Sicily! 🤍 (e.g. 30 mins by car to Taormina, 30 mins to Alcantara, 50 mins to Etna-South) We got to spend five nights in Andreas lovely lava stone cottage and wished we had booked more :) The cottage is quite up the hill but definitely worth the ride. We had everything we need and more. Andrea is a wonderful host and provided us with great insider tips about the area. 10/10 would book again (but definitely prepare better against mosquitoes)

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 .

Very quiet area, two minutes from the village, very helpful owner and comes to meet any need you have, I recommend it, we rented it close to Epiphany and finding stockings for the children was a real surprise, I highly recommend it ps: barbecue area and children's games really a treat

Great location and few minutes walking to the town center with free parking

beautifyl place up on the slopes of the etna, vieuw of the whole Island. nice garden with fresh fruits and a copy house with everything tou need. the owners were very flexible and helpfunctie with everithing and had great recommendarions about the Area. thnx for having us !

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.

What a beautiful apartment, perfect for our group of 6. Not only was each room decorated perfectly, it was well stocked. Thank you so much for a beautiful stay.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at the appartement. We really enjoyed the beautiful balcony and the nature all around. We even got nice fresh fruits out of the garden!

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.

Guilia's place is spectacular! It's better than the photos with gorgeous views of the sea, mountains, city and even Calabria in the distance. The grounds are immaculate with a huge private terrace for meals and drinks and a massive pool that feels like your own private resort. Giulia's family lives in the other units and were always friendly and helpful but not intrusive in the least. Even Papaya the dog knew when to leave us to ourselves lol! The interior is pristine and spacious. As many have pointed out the town center is about a 10-15 minute walk away. So you are very close to all the restaurants and shops but away from the tourist hordes. Taormina is hilly but most of the walk is relatively flat. Traffic is not a worry, we did not encounter much of it on our walks. Also, Italian drivers, although speedy, are careful and well aware of pedestrians. Giulia is a fantastic host, always quick to provide recommendations and respond to our questions. Wish we could have stayed forever!

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 !

Amazing Stay in a perfect location with perfect views. Hard to find a stay in Taormina with sea views, central location and convenient parking. This apartment had it all. Highly recommend this stay for anyone visiting Taormina. The communication was on point, apartment was clean, well equipped and large enough for 4 people. Would stay here again.
