House vacation rentals in Gioiosa Marea

We had a beautiful stay here and made wonderful memories as a family on our first Italian adventure from Canada with our 3 daughters ❤️

Lovely hosts, great location, great pool area. Spectacular views, managed to see Etna erupting.

What a special place 🧡 Stunning location within a family home of 300 years. Gorgeous views, heart warming rustic charm, ancient olive groves, a pool to cool down in, little homemade treats from Iryna’s Mum, freshly laid eggs…the list goes on! Iryna was an amazing host, welcoming, super helpful, brilliant communicator and caring. Nothing was too much trouble and she went the extra mile several times. We love love loved it. It would have been helpful to know that the second bedroom has both the kitchen and bathroom off it. We were with close family and friends so we made it work for us. A big warm thank you for a special time ♥️

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!

A perfect stay – above and beyond expectations! The apartment was spotless, cozy, and fully equipped with everything we needed. But what truly made the experience special was the amazing host – thoughtful, generous, and always available to help. We were especially touched by the warm gesture of fresh, local croissants delivered in the morning – such a lovely surprise! Highly recommended, and we’d love to come back again. Thank you for everything!

Excellent views and really nice interior. The host did try to charge us for a deposit and cleaning fee on entry even though we paid on air BnB but this was sorted out before checkout.

Thank you so much, Nino. It was our daughter’s first holiday away, and it was very special in part because of the beautiful house and surroundings, and Nino and his family’s hosting. Nothing was too much trouble, we are very grateful (especially the cute rocking chair) ☺️ restaurant recommendations and also booked us a table, where we were greeted with open arms. Grazie mille!

Absolutely beautiful view! You have views of everything, mountains, volcano, ocean. Super responsive anytime we messaged about any questions. Great experience! Our son is stationed in Italy and we plan to visit every year! We will definitely be back!!

Absolutely fantastic - best vacation so far. The island is a wonderland for hiking, biking, diving, great food and people. Incredible.

Such a beautiful place, amazing Aeolian Island view, set in perfect quiet nature, with lovely coastal paths and the bus stop right next door, Franca and Natalino are the perfect kind hosts, giving me delicious food and fresh produce that they've grown, the place has all you need with a great terrace, garden and sun room

We had a fantastic stay in Sergio's wonderful place. The old building has been very nicely restored and the views from the private terrace are spectacular. The surrounding area is the most beautiful in all of Sicily with lots of amazing places to visit. There's a good restaurant just 5 minutes downhill on foot where we ate every night - the pizza and pasta are excellent and well priced. Our 4 nights were definitely not enough and we hope to return as soon as possible and stay longer. Highly recommended.

Our stay at Casa Scirocco Glicine contributed to a magical week. The house is in a lovely location, the interiors are well cared for and comfortable, the outdoor patio is very enjoyable even out of season (we were there in April). The garden looks like a botanical garden, beautiful to be able to walk in the middle of plants in harmony with each other. The best part of the house was probably being able to enjoy breakfast as soon as you wake up with a view of the sea from above, Volcano in the background and cedar trees, mandarins and cactus in the foreground, listening to many different species of birds that greeted the day! We were checked in by Heloisa who was very nice and approachable even in the following days. We were also lucky enough to meet Alice and William who were two wonderful and friendly people, available to respond to every request and with whom it was also very pleasant to chat while drinking a beer.

Beautiful, peaceful and serene. The sunrise over the sea is visible from the bedroom as it faces eastward. Decent hikes around the island. Hosts were helpful in finding us a place to dine out on the island even during low season. Will be visiting again!

Barbara was an excellent host and we loved her home: we rented the entire home for our family (adult kids and partners, plus my husband and I) and it was perfect for everyone. The house has a fantastic view of Isola Bella, stairs to the beach are just few steps from the house, and there’s a parking lot just across the street (if you are driving be ready for very narrow streets ;) with cars, scooters and people all together). Barbara was super friendly, welcoming, attentive and helpful from the moment I booked and even more when we arrived. She communicated constantly with me. I highly recommend her place to feel at home waking up to a gorgeous, peaceful view. And there’s lot to do in Taormina and the surroundings. Fantastic trip, we already miss it …

Our stay at Casa Rossa was a great experience, we felt very comfortable. The location and the view of the sea and parts of the island are simply breathtaking. The communication with Francesca as hostess and Claudia on site was completely unproblematic. And then there was the fantastic weather!

We had such a great stay at Elisas! The apartment is well equipped and the surroundings with all the animals are lovely. We especially liked the cats. We even cooked with Elisa, which was also a great experience. For sure we‘ll be making the Tiramisu at home 🤩

We had a sore stay with Francesco & family. We felt very comfortable and were surprised with fresh fruits, jam and more. The whole family is very friendly but also reserved if you want privacy. The apartment is very nice with incredible views from the balcony. The property is freely accessible and very peaceful and full of chickens and cats. The access is a bit adventurous and without a car you would not be mobile. We worked from the property and the wifi worked great, even outside! We highly recommend the place to anyone looking for a quiet beautiful place!

we had an amazing stay in Alberto's apartment. He picked us up and dropped us back to the train station which was extremely kind. The apartment was spotless and better than photos show. Amazing view to the water and main Boulevard. All very close to main parts of Milazzo. Great local recommendations. We felt at home. Great apartment and wonderful hosts with Alberto and Martina. Would stay here 100% next time.

Daniele's apartment is at the far end of the Naxos bay a ten minute walk from the hussle and bussle of the beaches and beach side restaurants/traffic. It sits between a couple of small, independent hotels but for us, in mid-June, was very quiet and peaceful, and with a beautiful setting overlooking well kept gardens and the sea. Not much else to add to the other positive reviews.....it's a great, well-appointed, private and quiet apartment and not a bad place from which to explore the Messina region if you have a car. We certainly recommend!

Walter's house is very beautiful and perfect for two people (and a dog). It is in a very convenient location, a stone's throw from the center of Lipari. The garden is large and well maintained, and the house offers all the amenities for a long stay. Walter is very kind and helpful. Thank you for everything — we hope to be back soon!

We enjoyed our stay at Le Casette di Malfa. Toto was a responsive host and provided instructions about how to use the amenities upon arrival. Take into consideration the €20/person cash only fee for towels, which is very steep, as is the walk from the town to the property. Overall, it was a great property and the view from the terrace - especially at sunset - was spectacular.

Incredible views. Incredible little village 5 minutes walk away, mountain and sea views. Completely magnificent, didn't get enough. Car a must but easy to find everywhere, recommend sunkisses beach club where it was easy to park the car. The village just above had everything you can wish for, sparse with restaurants but was good enough. There was also a small shop, with an emphasis on small. The host was very accommodating and easy to deal with. Very quiet and restful accommodation, which the soul felt good from. We were one day in Taormina but longed back to the tranquility of Forza di Agro.

This place is delightful, in its local and simple vibe, in a great location between the beach and the town, all easy walking distance. Don’t expect any ‘extras’ like pantry items ( sugar and salt only) or toiletries, but everything is available in the local supermarket. The owner Luciano kindly drove us to and from the port and helped organise a boat tour, he is very obliging. Malfa and this accommodation is a great option for a low key, peaceful stay.

We are out of time in Montalbano and at Antonina's, we only feel peace, wonder and serenity.
