Waterfront vacation rentals in Messina

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.

We had a wonderful stay in Mazzaro at Rocco's property! Shortly after we booked a few months ago Rocco informed us that unfortunately the owners of this property needed it during our dates but he kindly offered his other property only a 2 minute walk away instead. For reference the property and listing is called (Luxury apartment and charm sea view Isola Bella). It was absolutely wonderful with the best view of the Baia di Sant'Andrea, just opposite Isola Bella. Less than 5 minute walk to both beaches and cable car up to Taormina. The property consists of both a downstairs and upstairs unit. Both were clean and the washroom downstairs newly renovated. My only small criticism is that Rocco uses an AI chatbot to help communicate with guests, so you will always get a response from "him" quickly, but the information might not be totally accurate. He would however always correct 'himself' within 24 hours. Would stay here again in a heartbeat, it is so beautiful!

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.

This is the perfect holiday home facing the sea. We absolutely loved the central location and the newly renovated apartment. The view from inside the apartment and from the lovely terrace facing the sea was breathtaking. We felt extremely welcome from the very beginning. We had the perfect host who gave us plenty of good advice - both before, during and after our stay. We will surely return. The best place we have ever stayed in Sicily.

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 😊

Although the apartment is a bit outdated, the location makes up for it: right next to a discount store and in the first row to the beach – from the large terrace you have a fantastic 180-degree view of the sea and the surrounding areas. The town itself is charming with two or three small restaurants, and the surrounding towns are also within walking distance. In the height of summer, the location is really ideal – you can't go wrong. The terrace can be reached via a spiral staircase, it belongs to a small separate apartment, which looks a little different in the photos in the listing. It's best to take a close look beforehand. If you are very tall, you should consider the sloping roof – but even that is feasible. Arthur was very helpful when the Internet and TV initially did not work. All in all: If you are looking for a great location right by the sea and can overlook smaller peculiarities, this is the place to be.

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

Great terraces with view of the sea. Not a lot of restaurants to walk to. Place was very clean and furnished well. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to make several dinners there with no problem. We went during shoulder season so the area was very quiet. I’m sure it’s busier during the summer.

Alberto is a terrific host! He provided detailed information with pictures which helped us locate parking and the apartment. Plus, he provided booklets on Milazzo’s history and things to see and do while visiting. Very helpful! Alberto met us upon arrival to walk us through the apartment. He made us feel so comfortable and was such a delight to speak with. The apartment was perfect. The location is a 10 minute walk to the castle, 10 minute walk to ferry, 5 minute walk to the grocery store, an excellent bakery and fruit market. The view from the front room window is amazing as you watch the sunrise and harbor boat traffic. We could have stayed longer and been very happy. You will not be disappointed. Alberto and his wife provide a wonderful apartment filled with amenities and special touches that make it feel like home. Highly recommend!

We were very pleased with our stay. Alessandro was very communicative, at check-in, with problems, and with the transfer of our daughter to the airport. We enjoyed the small terrace very much, as it feels almost directly on the sea. We can only recommend the apartment. Volker and Iris

This was a truly wonderful spot and stay. We couldn’t have been more pleased. Gorgeous views and a terrific host.

Lele is an excellent hostess. The place matches the description perfectly. She has thoughtfully prepared a detailed instruction book with all the information we might need. Additionally, she provided us with plenty of helpful parking tips.

We had an excellent stay in Dario’s lovely apartment. The roof terrace with the jacuzzi and view of Etna is stunning! The rest of the apartment is spacious, well designed and comfortable - the kitchen was remarkably well equipped. Dario was a very responsive and helpful host and Riposto is well located for visiting the East coast of Sicily.

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 great time here, Salvatore was very helpful and responsive. The place was a great spot to visit the surrounding towns and find easier parking compared to the rest of the town. The place has a lovely private access to a nice cove.

We really enjoyed two bedroom apartment with clean bathrooms and kitchen! Francesco was very helpful with recommendations of the restaurants, shops and attractions . We had a beautiful balcony with sea view where we had breakfast every morning, great parking just next to the our building. We were able to walk to the downtown but it is not an easy walk. Francesco gave us instructions how to get to the public parking by the car and that was very helpful.

available in all respects...apartment in a great location...very clean and spacious...excellent in practically everything...recommended in every respect...thank you and we hope to see you again

A spacious and very pleasant accommodation, with a beautiful terrace on the sea. Ideal for lovers of the sea and swimming with easy walking access to the city center, its shops and restaurants as well as the port. We had a lovely stay there, I recommend it.

Very beautiful house . And the location was spot on. You drink coffee hearing the peaceful sound of the sea.

I recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the south of Sicily. The place was neat, clean and nice. The kids loved it.

Very spacious and beautiful apartment with everything. Here you can just live day in day with 4 people. Spacious living space with 2 seats, fully equipped kitchen, 2 spacious bedrooms, laundry, large terrace overlooking Mount Etna. Very sweet people!

The stay in the apartment was a pleasure. The location was perfect, and very close to the sea. The home was cozy and clean, and hosts were always responsible and available to answer our questions. Highly recommended
