Vacation rentals with a balcony in Sicily

Over the past 10 years, we've stayed in 50 Airbnb's. The view from Guilia's place tops my list for best view and best welcome basket. Sitting on the terrace was the highlight of our trip! The apartment was clean & comfortable. Walking on the beach below the house and kayaking in the clear water was such a treat! We had a nice dinner at Kantuccio in Santa Flavia, but our favorite lunch was at La Nassa Bar - Tabacchi next to the Sissa grocery store in Santa Flavia. The pasta carbonara and swordfish rollotini were so good we went twice! The location of Guilia's place is an easy drive to Monreale Cathedrale and the colorful town, Borgo Parrini. There is free parking in front of the house, just be aware the driveway is curved and very steep. There are four separate apartments in the house, so parking can be tight. We chose to park across the street at the top of the driveway in the public parking lot which is free in the off season. Overall, we had a great stay and highly recommend!

Sea paradise is just that! This apartment is so beautiful and peaceful - you hear the ocean waves at all times and truly have your own little piece of paradise. The stone beach is beautiful and great for a little swim! Gabriella was the kindest host - so responsive and with great suggestions!! Couldn’t recommend this place more - we had a little girls trip and it was truly one of the best trips I’ve ever had!!! I can’t wait to come back

It was a lovely apartment in a great location and Eugenio was very responsive and gave us restaurant recommendations when asked. He also left us some wine and Sicilian delicacies on arrival, which was a nice touch. We had a great time at Eugenio’s apartment.

Saro, the property manager and the home owners exceeded our expectations. They were very gracious and made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We were extremely happy with the way we were greeted, after a two (2) hour delayed arrival. The house itself was well equipped and had a brand new clothes washer. We had access to all the amenities in our private garage space. The house is located in a neighborhood where the local live their lives. We really enjoyed living there for our one (1) month stay. We felt like we became part of the community. The house is located around the corner to the beach, restaurants, and nearby towns. The house is clean and has everything you need to feel comfortable and at home. We hope one day to return to Pozzallo.

The hosts were very responsive and very helpful. We were first greeted by the keyholders and they were lovely. They gave us clear instructions, tips and checked in on us during our stay. The apartment was clean and spacious. The bathroom and kitchen were in good working order, we didn't have any issues with water or plumbing. The AC worked very well. Stunning views of the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna. If you don't rent a car, I highly recommend you have a local driver to get you around. To get to Taormina from this apartment, it took approximately 45 minutes maybe close to an hour, depending on traffic. One warning, there is no elevator, only several flights of stairs to get to the apartment. So if you have small children or mobility issues, this might not be for you. I really enjoyed staying at this apartment and would definitely come back.

We stayed here for two weeks and loved it! The apartment is very spacious and elegant. The location is excellent—within walking distance to everything the old city has to offer, including many historical tourist attractions, shops, restaurants, coffee shops, cafes, etc. The owner and hosts are responsive and friendly. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this apartment.

Lovely apartment, very clean. Had everything we needed and was very easy to get to. Right in the centre of it all.

The Stanza Arance is a great and exceptional place, very thoughtful and elegantly designed. It is such that you are rewarded with a fantastic view of Ibla right outside the door. Elide is a hostess who is very accommodating, extremely helpful and quickly answers any questions and gives fantastic tips. The neighborhood was very friendly and I had an unforgettable stay in Ragusa.

Villa was great although the location of the villa could be better. But if you have rented a car or have your own (as we did) then it is not so problematic. Villa was clean, all looked basically the same as in the pictures. The keyholder Carmen was very supportive and helpful. Her English was not so good, but the communication was manageable. For example she helped to find transportation to the local restaurants.

We had a wonderful time there. Gianfranco, our host, was very friendly and always answered our questions very quickly. The house was lovely and all the necessary supplies were available. The bedrooms faced the street and it was sometimes loud, but if you bring earplugs it helps. The terrace on the roof was great, but we didn't enjoy it as much as we would have liked because the weather wasn't so ideal in March. All in all we liked it and enjoyed our holiday.

the holiday home "Colori di Sicilia" is a villa with a very well kept and well serviced garden. The house also has a nice view of Salina (one of the Aeolian Islands) although you need a clear day to see it in detail. The house is surrounded by greenery, although it is a short walk from other homes and a church with a bell tower that marks the hour with an extravagant (not annoying). The apartment's equipment is excellent: well-stocked kitchen with pots, dishes, etc. (...to be perfect, I would add a low frying pan to fly the pastas :-) ), ample availability of towels and bath soaps, good beds (...always to reach perfection I would change one of the two mattresses -it is deformed, but the thing does not disturb the resting-;-) ), finally the WIFI was very welcome. The instructions for separate collection are useful (the city service seems to be working well), even if I would have a bin for the undifferentiated residue (...x be "perfect")

We could had not have been more happy staying at Giulia’s. Rosella and her husband greeted us kindly and gave us a wonderful welcome. We even were able to check in a little earlier than expected. The interior is very tasteful, the kitchen fully equipped to cook delicious meals to dine in the garden outside. We loved it all and had a great time exploring the area. We felt the corner lot situation with front and rear gardens, are ideal. We are very grateful for this very good experience and can highly recommend the house.

The place is beautiful, lots of space for the whole family. Super-equipped kitchen, huge deck with direct access to the beach. Very helpful hosts, responsive to requests. The place is perfect for a large family.

Thank you for the hospitality in your wonderful villa!

The apartment was perfect for my week in Ortigia. Great location near the water and the market. The roof has a great view and the space is comfortable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting!

What a great stay and lovely family! The apartment is perfect, convenient, clean and well located. Giorgia and Mattia checked on all our needs and are so thoughtful and kind. Their mom greeted us for check-in and was super helpful; beautiful person!! We would recommend, wonderful experience.

it was a pleasant stay, the appartement is nicely decorated and very well located ! the terrace is beautiful and Mario is very arrangeable. we stayed a month there and we have really enjoyed the place !

Really nice apartment just outside the city walls Fabio and Maria were very helpful and responsive

We loved our stay at Maria Theresa’s place! The apartment was lovely, and Maria Theresa was very kind and responsive throughout our stay. The only small drawback was the restaurant just below the apartment, which made it a bit noisy until around midnight. Otherwise, everything was great and we really enjoyed our time there!
