Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Metropolitan City of Messina

What an amazing stay we had! Alessandro personally welcomed us and showed us a free parking spot close to the house. The apartment was absolutely beautiful and had a stunning terrace with view on the vulcano. We felt at home from the first moment and would have loved to stay even longer. The apartment has the perfect location to explore Taormina, Etna and some of the film locations of „The Godfather“. Alessandro was an incredible friendly and helpful host, thank you for everything! ☺️

Great apartment for our three-night stay. Marco’s friendly welcome and helpful tips on what to see and do was appreciated, as was the bottle of cold white wine which went down a treat after navigating those crazy streets! Marco showed us the car park and then delivered our bags to the foot of the stairs to the apartment. The view is incredible, the apartment clean and comfortable. We appreciated the two bathrooms and washing machine. Easy walking distance to the main town and a short uphill hike on the way back to help digest all the good food and gelato. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Stromboli is magic and Renato's house is the ideal place to absorb all of this magic. Marco Polo is a beautifully simple home with near perfect aesthetics, both what location and what decoration is concerned. And that's a rare find for Italian short term rentals in whatever price range... The moment you arrive at the house, you slow down to the pace of the island. You settle into the rhythm of the waves and the distant grumble of the volcano. Life at its most essential. Thanks, Renato. We'll be back. For longer next time.

Love this place. Superb balcony with great views and lots of space. Comfortable inside. Seconds to the beach and 5 minutes walk to the Funicular up to central Taormina. Host was great and even let us check out late.

You could not find a better place to stay in Taormina, close to everything yet quiet & peaceful when you needed a break - the house itself is exquisite & Laura is the loveliest host. Big call, but Casa Oasi goes close to being the best AirBnB we’ve ever stayed in 😘

I can not recommend this home highly enough. We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Anoeta met us at the ferry port and supported us to hire a car then showed us up the track to the house. She is correct when she says it is quite a rural road and takes a bit of confidence with driving until you are used to it. But it is all worth it. The views are incredible, the outside cooking space is excellent and it is the perfect spot for dinner and a glass of wine. We would have happily stayed for much longer.

Heaven on Earth! The accommodation is so beautiful and unique. The house is located on a mountain surrounded by nature and tranquility. It is equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed every second there. The view is simply breathtaking. Alfredo is a wonderful host. Thank you for this amazing stay!

Very kind and helpful host, the location is amazing - we had a lovely time! Recommend 10/10

Armando and Luisa’s place is so beautiful. It’s a perfect location for exploring the town of Taormina, very close to the cable car for beach access, and just across the road from the bus terminal. The views are exceptional and Armando and Luisa made us feel like home. They are so responsive and always available for anything you need. Would absolutely stay here again

Truly beautiful apartment with a balcony overlooking the strait of Messina. The interior is very modern and has all you could wish for, washingmashine etc. The sorroundings are very quiet and at night you can only hear the waves from the ocean if you keep the door to the balcony open. A beautiful beach at the easternmost point of sicily is 3 minutes away by foot, restaurants and shops are all in a 5 minute raidius. The communication with Irene is extremly friendliy and welcoming! All in all its a must stay if you are planning so overnight in that region and i really recommend it! I will definitly come back asap!!

Paolo was a great host Very clear instructions, impeccable accommodation - plus Paolo was extremely accommodating and infinitely kind. The accommodation is really clean and nice and a 5-minute walk to the heart of the city. I highly recommend it, thank you Paolo!

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.

What a lovely apartment with everything you can think of (comfortable bed, great amenities, quiet and private) and walkable to main town (downslopes) and restaurants. Close to the town’s main supermarket and not to mention the gorgeous view of Mt Etna! There are some stairs (few steps up, then a floor down) to the apartment and walking to town (downslope and back) is about 12-15 min. Great for couple, small family and relax at this lovely artsy apartment with a gorgeous terrace. Not to forget the available parking which is a big bonus at this hilly town with limited parking.

I’m not sure I can sum this up in 1000 words but our stay at Roberto’s was beyond any expectation. Not only was it spotlessly clean, perfectly located and had its own parking, it was a 5 minute walk to the cable car to Taormina town (quick 3-4 min ride). The nearby restaurants were phenomenal especially Bel Assai and Blum. Both walkable within 5 minutes. Roberto as a host is simply the best we’ve ever had. There were multiple snacks and beverages for us upon arrival and everything you could ever want from an Airbnb experience. His charm and care were off the charts. Tanjit, his very strong helper, was available for any questions or inquiries we had as well. All in all it was our favorite stay not only in Sicily but in the course of our 20+ Airbnb’s around the world. To be fair- yes, there are many steps to the property but every single one was worth the experience. If you get the opportunity book it immediately. There’s no place like it in the world.

Marco and Antonio were amazing hosts, the place is tucked away but an informative YouTube video that Antonio provided was super easy to follow and then Marco met us on the beach to let us in. The place is amazing and immaculately decorated with a super comfy bed. The location is just perfect and peaceful and the beach is gorgeous for a relaxing beach day. There are many lovely restaurants down in Mazzarò but it’s very easy to reach the cable car and travel up to Taormina. It was lovely to hear the live singer from the hotel next to us in the evenings when we sat out on the balcony. It may not be suitable for those with limited mobility and there were quite a few stairs involved in getting to the apartment.

Our stay in Taormina was absolutely unforgettable, and Sabrina's Airbnb was a true highlight of our trip. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to the city center, yet tucked away enough to enjoy peace and quiet. The views from the property were breathtaking, and we found ourselves pausing often just to take them in. The space itself was beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches that made it feel both elegant and welcoming. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base during our time in Sicily. Highly recommend!

Everything from the booking to check in and recommendations was great!!! But the best part was the view. 5 stars…we loved our stay and already want to return

Lovely apartment though quite a lot of stairs to second floor so tough with luggage Great location, beautiful surrounds Everything we needed

The place is exceptional - very clean, updated and spacious. Davide was super helpful with checkin and providing recommendations - really appreciated his support throughout! The location was a bit noisy at night, but would still stay here again.

Absolutely loved our stay. Walking distance to the old town and cable car and bus stop. Mini market close but there are lots of restaurants nearby. The apartment was wonderful - a piece of paradise - the smell of jasmine as you walk down the paths and trumpet vines full of flowers and the sound of birds. We had breakfast on the balcony overlooking the pool and the coast and a view to Calabria. Spectacular view at any time of day.

We had a fantastic stay! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. It’s right in town, so everything is within walking distance, yet it still feels quiet and private. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our visit. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

We had a lovely time staying in Taormina in Federica’s home. The apartment is a 10 minute walk from the bus station and was very easy to find. The apartment is modern and felt very homely immediately. Loads of restaurants all within a 5-10 minute walk and it was so easy to get down to the beach! Would absolutely recommend staying here.

w exceptuonal large space

As is often the case, the pictures of the view don't come close to the actual view we enjoyed during our stay. Absolutely breathtaking! The apartment was nicely appointed and around a 15 minute walk to the core town activities of Taormina. The owners of the apartment live upstairs and were a joy to get to know. If you love dogs, their sweet Papaya will become your new best friend. Our hosts were very responsive and even brought us some sweet lemon mousse (and shared the recipe!) for us to enjoy. I am quite certain we will be visiting Taormina again, as it is one of the most beautiful places on earth, and I will definitely look to stay here again.
