Family-friendly vacation rentals in Metropolitan City of Messina

Sergio’s villa was the most beautiful place that we have ever stayed. Olive and citrus trees right in the yard and pristine views of Mount Etna. Restaurants, coffee, shops, and pharmacies were all within short walks from the home. I would stay again in a heartbeat, if Sergio would have us.

Perfect location right near the entrance for the old town

Wow! This was one of the best outfitted, beautiful properties we have ever stayed at. Dortea was a fantastic, responsive and helpful host. We were just in Amalphi and this location rivals the Italian riviera with wonderful views and Taromina just on it's doorstep. It was easy to walk to Isolabella and the bus and cable car were convenient for travelling to Taromina. The hot tub this time of year was wonderful. Thank you Dortea for the wonderful orientation that allowed us to make the most of our time in this beautiful part of Sicily.

A great location, The restaurant beside is a true treasure. we recommend you make a reservation, beautiful food. Great communication and make sure you pay attention to their instructions to find the parking lol.

Great location! The host is so accommodating, offers great communication and the place is perfect. Thank you Stefano,we will be back in a year.

We stayed for a week during New Year. With a two families, in total 9 people. Great place and great host. The surroundings and views are beautiful. The property has everything including a lot of fruit trees. You are close to the beach and there is a nice family style bakery and restaurant right around the corner. The house is next to a highway. You do notice at first, but after a couple of hours it’s not a big deal. There was a problem with the electricity but Mauricio handled it well and quickly. He is a great host.

The check-in was flexible and easily arranged. The villa was beautiful and very comfortable for two couples, located outside of the city which makes it easy to unplug and relax. Thanks for a lovely stay.

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!

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.

A kind and considerate landlord. Always present and available. The house is in a strategic and central place. The layout and organization of the house is better than shown on the site (I would recommend to Alberto to take different photos). We had a wonderful time. Thank you

Perfect stay, ideal location, lovely balcony and view, Andrea was the perfect host. Thank you

Antonella is super nice and a great host. Her place is tiny but we figure out how to accommodate everything, put the luggages underneath the table and get before the clothing for the day, there’s no space for medium luggage. Is exactly like she describes. It’s a sofa bed and I could not deal with, so we put the mattress on the floor and slept super well 🤗 she left cookies and wine, so nice of her. Linen and towels high quality! The location is premium!

This a wonderful house. It is thoughtfully decorated and well equipped. The sea view from the orange and lemon grove is really beautiful. Some reviews have mentioned noise - not an issue, with the church bells being the main sound you hear! Caterina and Francesco were perfect hosts and made sure that our young family had a great stay.

A charming and beautifully located spot in the heart of Taormina. The space was clean, well-maintained, and perfectly situated for exploring the area. The host was attentive and maintained excellent communication throughout our stay.

What a lovely place to stay.Marta and Fracesco are great hosts, they made us feel home. Marta showed us around the farm and their little museum. We were given welcome basket containing their fresh eggs from farm, home produced honey which tasted like no other honey I had, olive oil also produced by them, tomatoes, lemons and limes. There is a lovely swimming pool which you may share with other guests which was never an issue.Shops and restaurants are close , there is also train station where you can take train to Palermo if you don’t fancy driving.Anyone looking for traditional and rustic stay , this is place for you! We would definitely come back again. ❤️

Very quiet area, two minutes from the village, very helpful owner and comes to meet any need you have, I recommend it, we rented it close to Epiphany and finding stockings for the children was a real surprise, I highly recommend it ps: barbecue area and children's games really a treat

The host is an old man who is going to be 90 years old.The old gentleman will be very enthusiastic about the condition of the place, where to rent a car, and which spots to go, where to eat local food?Although he is not very fluent in English, he will be very patient with the conversation with you through Google Translate.Although the location of the accommodation is not very convenient, it is very convenient to rent a small car as a mobile transportation, Taiwanese people are recommended to come to this place to stay.

Simply fantastic. This is one of those rare Airbnbs where you actually feel like a friend has let you stay in their house. I cannot recommend it enough.

Magical place in the middle of nature with a great view. Etna in the background, and a very welcoming and available host. Recommended!

A private, relaxed villa for our group of two families with four kids. The pool area and surrounds were put to extensive use! Alberto is a wonderful, responsive host and a great local resource, with his many trip and restaurant suggestions adding great value to our trip. Etna put on a great show too which was a bonus!! All round great memories!

What a view!! This place was great. Plenty of space for the four of us. Clean and comfortable too. The kitchen was very well equipped. Many, many stairs and an uphill walk to get to town, but lots to do and places to eat when you get there! A+

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!

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.

The view is utterly spectacular. I will remember sitting on that patio eating breakfast for the rest of my life. Giulia is very responsive. Her parents, who live above, are very sweet and friendly. The layout worked for us - one of the bedrooms is connected to another one, so if you have young kids it's perfect to be near them. it's a 1K walk to town which we did everyday and found it delightful. it's away from the most touristy part of town and you pass a grocery store on the way to Porta Messina so it's actually quite convenient. You'll also pass the stairs to the Lumbini parking lot where a lot of the Etna tours pick up. the pool was fabulous - the pool deck also has a cornucopia of fruit trees, then there are the chickens and the aviaries. it's honestly unforgettable.
