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.

Ich habe mich von Anfang an, sehr wohlgefühlt! Eine ruhige Seitengasse in der Altstadt von Ortiga. Alles sehr gut erreichbar. Komme gerne wieder. Vielen Dank!

Das Stanza Arance ist eine tolle und außergewöhnliche Unterkunft, sehr durchdacht und elegant gestaltet. Es liegt so, dass man mit einem fantastischen Blick auf Ibla direkt vor der Tür belohnt wird. Elide ist eine Gastgeberin, die sehr zuvorkommend, äußerst hilfsbereit und schnell auf jede Frage antwortet und fantastische Hinweise gibt. Die Nachbarschaft war sehr freundlich und ich hatte einen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt 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.

Gianfranco und seine Familie haben uns sehr nett in ihrem Ferienhaus willkommen geheißen. Sie waren rund um die Uhr für Fragen und Hilfe zur Stelle und haben das Haus sehr weihnachtlich dekoriert. Das Haus hat einen schönen Außenbereich und eine schöne Dachterrasse, welche wir auf Grund des Wetters leider nicht ausgiebig nutzen konnten. Das Airbnb ist 5 Auto-Minuten vom kleinen Dörfchen Mascali unweit vom Etna entfernt und ist sehr ruhig gelegen. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen, um die Atmosphäre nochmal im Sommer zu genießen.

la casa vacanze "Colori di Sicilia" è una villetta con giardino molto ben tenuta e ben fornita. La casa ha anche una bella vista su Salina (una delle isole Eolie) anche se è necessaria una giornata tersa per vederla in dettaglio. La casa è immersa nel verde anche se è a pochi passi da altre abitazioni e una chiesa con un campanile che segna l'ora con uno stravagante scampanellio (non fastidioso). La dotazione dell'appartamento è ottima: cucina ben fornita di pentolame, stoviglie etc. (...per essere perfetta aggiungerei una padella bassa per spadellare le paste :-) ), larga disponibilità di asciugamani e saponi da bagno, buoni i letti (...sempre per raggiungere la perfezione cambierei uno dei due materassi -è deformato, ma la cosa non disturba il riposto- ;-) ), infine il WIFI è stato molto gradito. Utili le istruzioni per la raccolta differenziata (il servizio comunale mi pare funzionare bene), anche se abbiungerei un bidone per il residuo indifferenziato (...x essere "perfetti")

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.

Das Haus ist wunderschön und sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Rosy und Desiré sind sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Es liegt direkt am Meer (Steinstrand) und hat einen sehr schönen, grossen und eingezäunten Garten mit Grill. Der Strand vor der Tür ist leer und das Dorf ist wenig touristisch, zumindest im April. Es gibt ein paar Läden und Restaurants sowie einen Bahnhof in fussläufiger Distanz (15 Minuten) am Strand entlang.

Wunderschön gelegenes, weitläufiges Anwesen mit allem was das Herz begehrt! Würden sofort wieder kommen!

Merci, Francesco !! L’appartement est très bien situé Au bord de la mer. Non loins des lieux principaux de la ville. La terrasse est magnifique Nous avons passés un très bon moment. VIVA ITALIA 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

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 !

Die Unterkunft ist gut gelegen, direkt vor den Toren der Stadt. Uns haben die Einrichtung und der minimalistische Stil der Wohnung sehr gefallen. Trotz der zentrumsnahen Lage war es im Schlafzimmer angenehm ruhig. Die Kommunikation mit den Hosts war unkompliziert. Geniesst unbedingt einen Kaffee am Morgen auf dem Balkon - herrliche Stimmung!

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!
