Vacation rentals with a fireplace in San Giovanni La Punta

We had a lovely stay. The house is very comfortable, and the garden is gorgeous. Our children were able to play in the garden and swimming pool. If you want to sit a little outside the tourist hustle and bustle, and yet have all the amenities at your fingertips, this is ideal. We'd love to come back.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Fernando's house. The view of Mount Etna was beautiful and the space was charming. And we were greeted with a bottle of wine, water, and cookies. The biggest limitation is that, as indicated in the listing, the space does not have WiFi, but it is possible to have mobile data.

Lovely hosts, great location, great pool area. Spectacular views, managed to see Etna erupting.

Adorable cottage with incredible views! It was perfect location for the three of us. Smack in the middle between Teormina and Catania with gorgeous Reposto in between. That is if you have a car. The accommodations are just as described and on the photos. Maybe a little more of a seating area in the living room would be fantastic since that is where the internet is the strongest. Otherwise the garden, the jacuzzi, the neighborhood - all are beyond enjoyable! We would love to come back. Oh, yes, if you are thinking about hiking Mount Etna - just ask Andrea! You would have the BEST experience possible!!!!

The accommodation is cozy and invites you to relax. Surroundings are quiet and the view is awesome. However, it is advisable to have a car on site because in the small village of Puntalazzo, shopping facilities are limited. The nearest major city (Giarre) is about 20 minutes by car, but that's perfectly fine. The parking facilities right in front of the house can be challenging depending on the car as it is a bit angled. However, there is a parking space 1 minute away. Orazio is a great host, he is quick to respond and gives good recommendations for the area and restaurants. He is extremely interested in enriching the stay and is always easy to reach🤩 Absolutely great. 👍

Francesca and Enzo's small house is ideally located at the foot of Etna but also in a peaceful, pretty and very pleasant locality, with all the facilities. We had a great stay there to visit the entire east coast of Sicily. Francesca is particularly attentive and gives very good advice. We highly recommend it to guests looking for calm, authenticity and contact.

Vincenzo’s place was absolutely perfect for what we needed. It was completely spotless which was great with our 1 year old boy. Would definitely recommend, and there was nothing I would change about our stay there.

Everything was fine. It's a cosy and quiet place and we enjoyed our stay. Giuseppe is a friendly and helpful host who knows the area well and can give recommendations for hiking tours. So grab your hiking boots and go there! The volcanic nature is really impressive!

A beautiful and cozy flat with a spacious courtyeard and garden. Located in a quiet small town just a short drive from Taormina, it allows us to renjoy quitness and relax from the crowds while still being close to nearby towns and cities. Salvo is a friendly and accommodating host, providing clear, detailed instructions and recommendations. Quick response to all our questions and kindly arranged an early check-in to accommodate our travel schedule.

Wonderful house and location! We loved it here. The house has a lot of beautiful furniture, as well as an open terrace with a great view. The host Franco was so very kind, gave us many recommendations on local beaches and cafes

Very nice apartment in a great location. It comes with a balcony with a great view on the mountains, the sea and Taormina. The apartment has everything you need. Also a few drinks and snacks. It has a free parking spot on the premises. Couldn’t find any other Airbnb with free parking. Restaurants, bars and beach are reachable by foot within 5min. The host Alessandra is a very nice person, she helped us with our luggage, gave recommendations and even a little gift after checkout. It’s on the 4th floor and has no elevator, but for us it was not a problem. Due to its central location it can be a bit loud. It’s not located by the main road but motorbikes in the whole area are just loud. In the night it gets more quiet, no more trains and you won’t have any problems to sleep. I highly recommend.

Great view and perfect price-value for such a well-kept house! We really loved staying there and we would love to go there again!

My 3 sisters and I stayed for our annual European trip and the apartment met out needs and more. Every morning was spent on the balcony taking in the breathtaking views. Taormina is the jewel in Sicily’s crown with so much to do and see including a taste of opera, history, boat tours, beaches, shopping, gelato and more. 5 days was not long enough. Local shops and amenities are on the doorstep and you couldn’t ask for a better location with easy access to the cable car and bus stops etc. Very easy pick up/drop off for Uber. Steps are a feature of the area so pack at least 1 pair of sensible shoes!

Had a wonderful stay, perfect!

Elvira’s place was very clean and so spatious! The view was amazing and the sound of the waves was so peaceful. Elvira was very friendly and always answered quickly. We had a beautiful stay at her place. We would definitely recommend!

Rocca and Francesca were very responsive, the place was easy to find and as described. Francesca took us through everything and was extremely helpful. The views were amazing and all the sights were very walkable from the apartment. Thank you for a lovely stay!

This was our first visit to Sicily. We were a group of 8 with 3 families. We had plenty of space & privacy. The home is truly as beautiful as the photos & is like a step back in time. Maria is an amazing artist who added her special touches all over the home This was Francesco’s grandfathers home built in the late 1800’s. The backyard overlooks the town below & the ocean w Mt Etna on the other side. Magnificent! The added bonus of Rosaria’s services made us feel incredibly pampered. Her services are an additional fee but are very well worth it. She cooked 2 amazing meals for us (her chicken cacciatore is the absolute best!). She also helped secure a restaurant reservation & transportation. Note that a driver or rental car is a must. Unless you are fluent in Italian you will need translation apps. Truly a lifesaver as Sicilians often do not speak English. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever fortunate enough to visit the beautiful island of Sicily.

Villa Gorna is an amazing location with fantastic hosts. The property is as described and photos are accurate. A lot of care was taken to put nice extra features. Orazio was very responsive and helpful, with offers available for tours etc. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend.

This was the most magical Airbnb experience ever. Guiseppe and Giulia are the most hospitable Hosts I have ever come into contact with. They went above and beyond to make our stay the best. The villa is incredible with massive outdoor grounds to enjoy and a very beautiful large deep clean pool. Inside the villa is exactly as described but better! They were gracious and filled the fridges with many drinks to enjoy. They met us at the toll booth and escorted us to the villa and then drove us around town later to familiarize ourselves to the area and provided many dining recommendations. They were even so kind as to make reservations under their family name and deliver the most amazing desserts I have ever had! The location of the villa is perfect for day trips to Savoca and Taormina and surrounding areas. To have such a beautiful peaceful villa to return to made this our own slice of heaven! I would return in a heart beat. Thank you Giuseppe and Giulia for the most amazing stay.

Nunzio was incredibly friendly and helpful! The house is beautiful and the location is amazing. The road to get there is a little rough but once you arrive you are greeted by 4 lovely cats and Bianca the dog. Everything went smoothly and Nunzio was always ready to help with whatever was necessary and gave lots of recommendations. Would recommend everyone to travel inwards instead of just staying along the coast and visit this place!

It was an unforgettable experience. The location was stunning. It was a real pleasure to stay there. The people who welcomed us were incredibly kind. Everything was very clean. The hosts kept checking in to make sure we were doing well and helped us with all our questions. We are truly grateful for this experience. We highly recommend this place to everyone.

Alberto was a fantastic, friendly host. He gave us reccomendations, booked us a great value return taxi and even taught us how to make pizza! The villa had a breath-taking view and it felt like our own little mountain retreat. The only downside is that the driveway is very steep and long - we had to leave our rental cars at the bottom of the road (and scratched one car from attempting to drive up it!). But, if you're ok with a steep walk up, then don't let it put you off staying in the beautiful location.

Stay here if you are in Taormina! Louisa could not have been more helpful and kind to us during our week there. Her place is beautiful and peaceful and only a very short walk to the center of town. It was spotlessly clean and spacious with a gorgeous garden and old Roman tomb that our kids were fascinated by. We will definitely stay there again if we find ourselves in Taormina!

A Hidden Haven in the Heart of Catania We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect stay. This villa was a truly unexpected haven tucked away in the city of Catania. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peaceful atmosphere, stunning views, and the beauty of the grounds. The lawns and garden were meticulously maintained—lush, green, and full of color—which made every morning coffee feel like something out of a postcard. The spacious pool was a highlight for our family, offering a private and refreshing escape after a day of exploring Sicily. It was spotless, well-kept, and perfectly positioned to enjoy both sun. What truly set this stay apart, though, was the hospitality of our host Giovanni. Not only was he warm and welcoming, but the food he prepared for us was unforgettable—fresh, flavorful, and a true taste of Sicilian home cooking. We came expecting a comfortable place to rest, but what we found was a sanctuary that far exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend
