Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Messina

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.

I spent a wonderful month in this location - it's clean and comfortable with good wifi for remote working - perfect for what I was after. Maria is a wonderful host who is always responsive and cleaned the place once a week while leaving me nice things for breakfast! She even gave me a lift to and from Catania (c.10km) with my heavy suitcase. Trecastagni is a pleasant town on the slopes of Etna with accessible supermarkets and other essential shops as well as a some nice bars and restaurants and several churches. This location is better for those with private vehicles as the buses to/from Trecastagni are somewhat unreliable and it is a walk of several miles to the nearest train station (Acireale). However for those with vehicles it offers good access to Etna as well as other attractions in the area such as Catania and Acireale.

absolument incroyable ! everything is even better than the pictures! a beautiful home, as much as the view it offers us! the kitchen is very well equipped the house is clean rachele and her husband are adorable and answer all your questions. Our boat having been canceled we had to arrive later and the scooter rentals were closed, they came to pick us up from the port and brought us back on the day of our departure. we also had the chance to receive the visit from the cat who ended up giving us his presence for the stay. Thank you so much for everything! The best airbnb we've had! Paradise!

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!

Excellent hosting by Tiziana, the accommodation is perfect, very clean and functional. Full of small touches from Tiziana, we made fresh orange juice, the kids loved it. Very good coffee. We visited Capo Milazzo and took a trip to Stromboli, the location of the accommodation is perfect. Private parking for car. Small supermarket 30 seconds walk if needed. Thanks a lot

Thanks to Alberto and his dad who guided us wonderfully upon arrival. The small house is in a very nice location, in a very quiet alley. It was very clean and well-equipped. The only downside is that the house is too small to have a living room, but we only stayed there to sleep. The location is ideal for visiting the surroundings (Taormina and Castelmola). I recommend it;)

The apartment has a fantastic secluded location (with the landlords) in the mountains. The views from the garden are beautiful. In 2-3 km you are on Monte Ogliastro or Monte Veneretta, from where you can overlook the whole region. Fantastic! The terrace is large and completely fenced. Then comes the parking lot and then the beautiful fenced garden. The cats were very nice and there were no problems with the dog. Unfortunately, the cats were all very, very thin, at least 3 had severe diarrhea. The turtles in the garden had very bleak small enclosures and the dog was often locked away on the balcony. Unfortunately, pets usually have a bad life in Sicily. That made the vacation sad.

We felt very comfortable with Giovanni. The apartment is large enough for 5 people (3 children) and was nice and clean. Giovanni gave us great tips for excursions and was always available. Thanks for the hospitality!

Beautiful villa at the base of Mt. Etna. Very large pool and garden. Nadia and her family are close by and very responsive / always willing to help. The location is great as it is close to the volcano and a 15 min drive to the beaches. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back!

Best place we have stayed in italy,and we have been going for several years. Marco was very attentive and helpful.. A real gem.

We stayed 2 weeks and it was a great base for exploring the east side of Sicily and Etna. A hire car is essential as the apartment is located in a quiet spot away from the main centres. The apartment itself was spacious and comfortable with great views from the wrap around balcony. The swimming pool was a real bonus - we made use of it most days. Salvatore & Antonio were very helpful and responsive to requests (many thanks!). Highly recommended if, like us, you are looking for a peaceful getaway.

Quiet and conveniently located accommodation for visiting Etna. Close to shops and restaurants. Very nice host, responds very quickly and gives good advice. We recommend this listing

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 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 .

We spent a 10 day vacation here as a group of friends. Already upon arrival we were overwhelmed by the beauty of property and surroundings: located in the beautiful lemon grove overlooking the slopes of Mount Etna and the sea. It couldn't get any better! Boredom never arose, the area offers a lot! However, a car is important. There was also always something to do on the property: beautiful pool, ping pong table, foosball, football or cooking in the great kitchen... and always fresh lemons. Maria Gulia and Angelo are super friendly and often helped us with tips and quick answers. The villa is an absolute recommendation!!

We had a wonderful week in Patti - Lara’s home was the perfect base to explore the island from. Lara and Martina were extremely helpful, providing lots of recommendations for places to eat and visit. The pool is gorgeous, and there are balconies all around the house so you can chase the sun (or shade) throughout the day. We really can’t recommend this place enough.

Amazing place!! So private, and beautiful. As it is somewhat remote, our hosts arranged for a taxi (which was included in the rent) from our ferry. Our driver waited for us to do our food shopping before whisking us off to the property. Once there, our host transported us and all our luggage to our private casita. There, we enjoyed the spacious views from our large terrace, our private swimming hole below, and nearby beach. One can see Stromboli on the left and Vulcano on the right, with its simmering crater. Sunrises over the ocean below. Our hosts Mariagrazia and Carlo were warm and welcoming. I would give Seven Stars if I could!!

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!

We stayed here and were the only two guests in late April. We got a room upgrade and ate their delicious four course dinner. We felt really well taken care of and even got to see Etna clearly at night erupting - it was so cool! You really feel taken care of here I would highly recommend.

We had a very nice week !

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!

Lovely stay in a beautiful, peaceful location with gorgeous pool, views of Mount Etna and easy access to Savoca, Taormina, Etna, Alcantara Gorge and the coast. Very nice breakfast by the pool on our last day. Highly recommended.

Small studio apartment with integrated kitchen and visually separated bathroom. Comfortable bed. There is a large, quiet terrace behind the house, which can be shared with a 2nd residential party if necessary. Located at the end of the village and from there another 7 minutes to a small beach.

Beautiful location, apartment with sea and mountain view. Very comfortable bed. Car can be parked at the door. A small and charming town. The perfect place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and a good starting point. I would come back:)
