Beachfront vacation rentals in Messina

Francesco was kind, he recommended places. The apartment was small but had what we needed. The setting was perfect, restaurants, beach... I would recommend it

Beautiful place. Worthy of a 2-3 day stay. Barbara goes out of her way to help her guests. I highly recommend this location.

We came to spend two nights with my spouse at Katerina and Andrea's and the welcome was great, very nice hosts and good tips. We met several times and they always had a kind word and recommendations. Very well located apartment and superb view from the terrace. We recommend!

The access to the accommodation was a bit surprising at the end of May as you have to drive through a small stream to get to the end of the road. The entrance to the free underground garage is also a bit bumpy and it is recommended to unload the car beforehand at the apartment if it does not have high tires. But once you arrive, the accommodation is really impeccable with a beautiful view of the sea. You can hear the sea rushing at night and can sleep with the window open without hesitation. You can also get to the beach directly from the apartment via a small staircase. The place was one of the cleanest I've ever experienced. The unfortunately often neglected mocha pot for making coffee was really clean. You can easily reach all public transport as well as small bakeries and shops on foot. Since you can use a free parking space, excursions by car are always easy. The place is really highly recommended.

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.

Very friendly and attentive host! Bartolo picked us up from the ferry and took us to the accommodation. On the way (a few minutes' walk) he showed us the city, gave us all the important information and provided a city map! Very, very pleasant welcome. The room was also great, great location!

Alessandro's place was everything we expected and more, right on the seafront, with loads of fantastic restaurants, grocery store and few shops all on the doorstep. The Apartment, was peaceful, and had everything you need for a great holiday, home from home. Alessandro was great at recommendations, but as he said you can't go wrong with any of the restaurants and cafe's Giardini Naxos, is a really lovely place to stay, always felt safe walking around night or day, Taxi to Taormina costs 25 euro to beach 30 euro to the town, during the day but at night is around 40Euro So much to see and do on the island, which is absolutely stunning We used Sayonara Beach, Geovanni and staff were great too, great advice and not a rip off, they have a cafe and restaurant, with all the facilities needed for the day, and is only a five minute walk. Will definitely stay at Alessandro's place again and highly recommend.

Flawless accommodation, well-equipped, close to tourist attractions We had a lovely stay . everything was perfect.

Had a nice stay in September. Giovanni was the best, very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended!

We had a nice time at Melina's place as a group of friends, of 3 people. We were able to reach the address easily by rental car. Without a car and in hot temperatures, the steep ascent/descent is certainly a bit challenging. We had a very early flight and were even able to get into the apartment much earlier thanks to Melina's flexibility. It would be important to mention that Melina really only speaks Italian and the check-in was a bit quick, but we understood basic information thanks to English notes. The apartment is a little out of the ordinary but fine and we got along well. Melina was always quickly available for questions and sent us a few addresses for restaurants and excursion destinations at the beginning. When checking out independently, it should be noted that the entrance gate has to be opened with the key beforehand, we had locked ourselves in the yard in the early morning hours.

Everything was as expected, except for the photos of the pool that were not up to date. Being the current pool much better than the one published

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!

Gianni and his wife were extremely friendly and accommodating. The apartment is wonderfully and authentically furnished. The kitchen offers everything you will need. The bathroom was clean and the bed in the bedroom very comfortable. The place and the street were wonderfully quiet at the end of September and you could relax very well. All in all, a perfect starting point to discover the east coast of Sicily. Highly recommend!

Our family (2 adults/2 children) enjoyed a wonderful stay here in April. It is a well-equipped and good sized property with everything we needed. It is well located on the coastal road: a few minutes drive (or 20 minutes steep walk) to Taormina and also from the beaches/Isola Bella. Communication with the host was good and the building manager was very helpful with our arrival.

We had an amazing time at Giovanni‘s apartment was big and beautiful and the pool was amazing. And for an extra fee he picked us up from the airport and dropped us back afterwards. Beautiful clean apartment and large balcony. Great functional kitchen and large bedrooms. Easy walk into town there’s lots of bars, restaurants, cafes and shops. Will definitely be back!

We had a great week. The property is a perfect base for excursions to Mount Etna or the Alcantara gorge. The house is beautiful and super well equipped, really everything you need is present. The pool is perfect despite you need a swim cap. The town itself is not special. It's like taking a time trip 70 years back in time. There is a lot of empty and closed. We only went here to the Pizzaria (Orso), which has great pizza's. Fortunately, there is plenty to do in Taormina, so it is not a loss.

Le sorelle in Santa Teresa di Riva is on a small, relatively quiet residential street that felt safe enough for us to walk around and shop for a bottle of wine and some produce for our stay. The outside is clean and once inside it is quiet, immaculately clean and beautifully and comfortably set. The balcony view isn’t fancy but it was very clean, comfortable and very nice to eat in or just relax. TV worked well, bed was comfortable, washer worked well but use Quick 15 programme cycle, otherwise the other programme’s run 3-6 hours long. Roberta helped us resolve some questions and minor issues we had. My only issues…not complaints, were having to find close parking, which I always did & the espresso machine seemed to have a blockage which kept it from working, so we simply soaked the espresso coffee pods in hot water from a quick working electric hot water kettle. Overall, we had a very, very nice stay.

We had a great time in Rodolfo’s apartment. It’s very close to the cable car so it was easy to get to Taormina or to the beach. Rodolfo was super kind and answered all of our questions. Parking was a bit of a nightmare but once we found a place, we didn’t bother with the car for the rest of the stay.

Fabulous little part apartment in a wonderful location. It is a stone through from the beach, where you were able to rent beds or take your own towels. You are just down the road from the beautiful Isola Bella natural reserve and beach. There is a mini market with essentials just a two minute walk away, and the cable car up into the town is just a few minutes walk, taking you straight up into Taormina. The apartment is well equipped and the Terrace is a beautiful spot to have breakfast watching the sunrise, or for your evening meal.

Need a car to stay here, easy to miss the entry road, but once you’ve got it it was all good, the apartment was very clean well stocked with facilities, no wifi, aldo left me some nice gifts for arrival coffee, water, wine !!!! Thank goodness, if you arrive on Sunday afternoon, pick up your food on route the shops locally are closed when you are tired and hungry aldo sent me details of shops that was great. He’s an excellent host and communicator, the views !! Oh my lord, they are truly magnificent! I want to live there! The sofa beds take some adjusting to, but ok, quiet area and neighbours perfect tranquil place, shops short drive away, and you are central Sicily to explore days out. Fresh Italian coffee on the balcony in morning Lovely just lovely. Good hot water/ shower washing machine, lots of cooking /serving utensils and crockery, cleaning equipment. Aldo was always helpful and kind which I appreciated as a lone female traveller, nothing is too much trouble. Loved it ! 🥰

I stayed at the apartment for quite some time (~a month) and can confirm it is a lovely space to stay in! True to the listing - you have (almost) everything you need, and the hosts live right downstairs if you do end up needing anything. The view from both balconies is beautiful, with areas with both shade and sun and plenty of seating. The immediate surroundings are fairly quiet, although I admit I stayed there before the high season. There's a limited amount of shops/restaurants in quick walking distance - there is much more on offer in the city. Anything in the center of Giarre/Riposto is at least a 25/30 min walk away, but most of that is along the lovely seaside! I don't drive myself, but it seems it is a much easier way to get around both the town/the island. The train station is pretty well connected though - about 20 minutes to either Catania or Taormina. All in all, I am happy to have been hosted by Orazio & Giusy - very kind and helpful hosts to go with a very nice apartment

A dream AirBnB! We loved everything about our stay at Maria’s place and just wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was beautiful, from the gorgeous interiors, the garden and the incredible sea view, all even better than the photos! Very comfortable bed and pillows too. San Giorgio was quite sleepy in May but we enjoyed its friendly charm. Bar Buttò became a favourite local spot for an early morning coffee or an evening aperitif! I hope we’ll come back again.

Federica is a great host! We got so much information through her and managed to drive around Sicily easier with her suggestions. Top recommendation, a beautiful place to visit and stay with high quality amenities, must visit and stay 😊

The hosts were super welcoming and flexible with the check in. We instantly felt at home when entering the apartment and loved how close it was to the beach. The apartment had everything we needed to get settled, toiletries, soft towels, water in the fridge and even some ice cream from the local ice cream shop. It’s an amazing place if you want to get away from the busy and touristy places, chill on the beach, get fresh fish directly at your front door and enjoy an almost private beach (speaking for the first week of June) We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Grazie Mille!
