Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Gioiosa Marea

A great place for a short stay in Taormina. Great location just by the gate to the old town, and literally in front of the bus station for public transport

We particularly liked Angela's on-site support. We were super briefed on everything. Chiara was always available and provided us with a parking space within 5 minutes' walking distance. Many tips helped us to quickly find our way around the village. Many thanks to Chiara and Angela. There were six of us in the accommodation and we also took care of ourselves. Everything was sufficiently available. Dishes, glasses, pots and pans. We say thank you and would be happy to come back.

Great solution for a couple. From the terrace, a beautiful view of the Gulf of Taormina!

It was a cozy and modern space where the host felt a lot of affection for the accommodation! Paolo was a really super kind person: (We arrived on the night train and arrived quite early, but right before the people met us before they even checked out, and they helped us check in after that: (They were so kind and thankful that we were so sorry. Super thanks to Paolo! I hope to see again you sometime👍👍

Roberto welcomed us very warmly, the house is very clean and cozy and there is a great restaurant nearby, there is a church near the house with a very beautiful view, highly recommended, if I return to Sicily next time, I will choose to stay in this house again!

We stayed here for 3 nights over Easter weekend. Paola was very responsive from the moment we made the booking. She also assisted with restaurant recommendations. Her father - who stays just below - was incredibly helpful and friendly! He offered us some home made sweets which is part of their cultural celebration of Easter and made us feel at home and welcome.

I would recommend this place, we were very well received by Manuel who even helped me with my suitcase. The accommodation matches the photos, very clean, well decorated and equipped. It is perfect for 2 and is ideally located: close to a supermarket and 5 min walk to the main street of Taormina, while being in a quiet area.

It's an amazing village! And Cesare is a great host! The arancini at 20m are super good, the bar is typical and friendly, and there are very nice walks all around. My only regrets: not staying longer, and not speaking Italian well to be able to communicate with the inhabitants of the village who are very friendly.

Lory's place is as described, the terrace is fantastic as are the views over the sea and to the horizon. There are a couple of good restuarants close by but you will need a car to fully enjoy the experience. A great quiet place to relax, unwind and get away from everyday life.

We stayed for four weeks in march. We had a great time, we fell in love with the place and their lovely dog Fiocco who is very sweet, also to children. Therèse and Viviana were very kind and helpful when we had questions. The house is situated in the middle of a large lemon grove and a daily stroll to the sea (it's a pebble beach) is greatly recommended. The nearby village San Stefano di Camastra is great for an ice cream and a coffee. We expected more hikes to be near, as it is located right next to Nebrodi but finding and reaching hotspots (hiking or otherwise) was ultimately harder than expected. We encountered this across Sicily though and is not related to the house itself. Our children loved to roam around the premises and find their own little adventures. All in all, we had a great relaxed stay and felt in tune with rural Sicily.

A great place to stay in lovely Malfa. We had a very relaxing holiday

A favorite for Sicily! A beautiful setting amongst the fruit trees and gorgeous gardens. Very private, sunny and we had everything we needed. The pool was pristine and a great place to relax in the fall sun. Our hosts were very generous sharing a variety of fresh fruits from the orchard, giving great advice on where to eat and purchase local delights. We felt so relaxed here and well cared for. What a gem. Thank you for having us, we wish we could stay all winter!

A simple but beautiful villa with plenty of space, several terraces and a beautiful and unobstructed view of the sea. From there you can explore the area on foot or by car and you can discover something new every day. Be it the Castello, the Capo Milazzo or the old and new center of the city. The house is simply furnished, not up to date, but this also has its charm. Yes, there are no real showers or air conditioning, but this has been made up for by the view, the spacious garden and much more. I would like to highlight Alessandra and her family. Super friendly, helpful and respond very nicely and promptly to inquiries. Thank you for 2 great weeks in Sicily.

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!

This is one of the truly best experiences we have ever had. If you are lucky enough to be physically fit and able to do the walk this is once in a life time stay. The walk up the “goat track”is stunning and the peace and quiet and view of the other islands from the house will take your breath away. The house inside is comfortable and clean and the outdoor covered kitchen is a pleasure to cook in. Alfredo is really helpful and brings you extra things you need.

This is my second time to stay here and I truly love it. Graziella and Alessandro are the perfect hosts and make you feel very welcome. They respond swiftly to all communication. We very much appreciated the bowl of lemons and white wine! Thank you both. The views are amazing and the balcony is the spot to be for the beautiful sunrises and breakfast. The walk up is steep but as others say, it is definitely worth it. I highly recommend it to others.

Great apartment with everything you need to enjoy your holiday. Perfect beach location. Restaurants and supermarket very close. Maria is a great host, making you feel very welcome ready for your Sicilian adventure.

It was a wonderful holiday thanks to the hospitality of Giovanni and his cozy house with a cute garden from which you can admire Etna. The house is equipped with absolutely all necessary necessary for a comfortable stay. I would recommend having a car for rent, especially since you could always find a parking space near the house, which is very rare in Sicily. From here you can easily reach Taormina, Catania, Etna, Syracuse and even Palermo. Fondachello beach is a 5 minute drive away by car and we could even swim at that time. Close to many stores and good restaurants. I would recommend having small coins for parking in major cities. Many thanks to Giovanni for his hospitality and care!

Our dream came true. Let meg start with Claudia and his husband who were delightful, always ready to answer us. We were arriving late night, they were waiting for us at the ferry. They offered us Mány program, restaurant and beach. The house was perfect for 2 people to enjoy holiday on this amazing little island. AC is working extra well, the outside kitchen.. anybody would like to have a same kitchen at home. You can meet with the neighbours cats, and the way to the house is covered fully ín flower. Claudia even came to say good bye to us. She immediately treated us well, we couldn't wish for better. We cannot be grateful enough, for meeting her, his husband and their little dog. We recommend this little treasure house to everybody, who would like to be in a peaceful accomodation and enjoy Lipari day and nightlife in 5 minutes walk.

The appartement was more than expected! The photos are already beautiful but in reality it is even better, we were stunned About the balcony and the rooftop with amazing vieuw! Every morning we had breakfast with sunrise. The night of Arrival we were very late, Giovanni made sure we had Some food and drinks. Very good host! Taormina is beautiful and has so many choiches in restaurants, bars and amazing stores. With just a few minutes of Walking you will be at the cable car wich lead to the beautiful beach isola bella. The appartement is very clean, great bathrooms and nice beds. Whe had an amazing stay here, 5 stars from us ✨

Casa Lionessa, the location and the communication with Chiara was above my expectations. The view from of the bay and Mt Etna from the sunny terrace both day and night was spectacular and being across the road from the gorgeous park and moments from restaurants, bars and the Bam Bar made this an ideal romantic holiday location. The support I received from Chiara when my lugguage was lost by the airline was amazing. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

Loredana and Antonio are exceptional hosts. They made us feel welcome immediately. We had a little difficulty with our Satnav but after contacting Loredana, they drove to us and escorted us to the apartment. The apartment is spacious and very clean which is always important to us. It has a great balcony accessed from the kitchen and bedrooms. We would have no hesitation in recommending their apartment to others.

If you’re looking for a safe, secure, and spacious accommodation that feels isolated but is right next to everything you need to see in Taormina then you found the spot. The apartment has a beautiful terrace overlooking the Sicilian coastline and neighboring Calabria. Beautiful pool, gardens, and easy access to the Main Street of Taormina. The place was stocked with supplies, plenty of blankets, pillows, towels, some food, and a delicious bottle of wine as a welcome gift. Highly recommend for a first time visit to the area!

Antonino was a great host, the house is as described, equipped with every comfort. House on the ground floor not exposed to the sun so cool but equipped with heating. Great value.
