Monthly Rentals in Santa Maria La Stella

This house was one of the most amazing places I've ever stayed. We went for a week and a half on a family trip, and it could not have been more incredible. Somehow, the grounds are even more lush and beautiful and spacious than the photos make them look. Incredible views of Mt. Etna and innumerable spots for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Our manager of the property was more like a concierge. Gianluca was more welcoming and helpful than anyone I've encountered in years renting Airbnb places. We will surely be back and can't recommend it highly enough for anyone checking it out!

Marisa is exceptional: responsive, kind and always available. The place is exactly as described, with a brand new and impeccably clean bathroom. Everything is taken care of in detail and perfect for a comfortable stay. Important information to keep in mind is that the place is not easily accessible by car and private parking is not available. However, there are two small squares nearby with free public parking, which can be a viable alternative. Despite the parking issue, if we were to return to the area, we would definitely choose to stay here again. Highly recommended!

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.

I spent 10 days at Antonio's place and loved it. As I'm not a huge fan of eating out, it was great to have such a well-equipped kitchen. The wifi was great for working remotely and Antonio was in touch all the time to make sure that everything was all right.
