Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Metropolitan city of Catania

This apartment and town are beautiful. It’s rooftop and balconies are even better than the photos, the town is a wonder to walk around in, the locals are friendly, warm, and fun, and Castiglione has a certain magic quality in the air. To anyone thinking of it as a spot to settle and do a bunch of day trips, just know it takes a while to drive down the mountain to the main highway. I found it fun and beautiful, but you’ll want to budget the extra time to get places. Thank you for an incredible stay - one of my favorite ever!

Apartment for 2 people well maintained, clean, with everything you need. The host has always been kind and available for any need since our arrival. Flexible check-in and check-out, Jose has always met our requests. The location of the house is not central to the city and unfortunately the area in which it is located is not kept at its best. Without the car it is necessary to rely on buses (feasible but not simple) or walk at least to the center (about a 25-minute walk). The wifi in the house is also great.

We stayed 4 nights in the flat and went on day trips to Syracusa, Taormina and Etna. First, the flat is confortable, with every bedrooms having shower and toilets. The living room/kitchen is big enough to have breakfast but not enough confortable if you plan to stay the all day inside. Secondly, but up to me, it is well decorated with upcycled stuff. Finally, the flat is well located. Lots of restaurants and bar near by. And few minutes walking from main touristic area. Stazione centrale might be a little bit far away.

We were really happy to have booked Emanuela e Mariagiovanna's place during our trip to Sicily! We planned to visit mount Etna and avoid the crazy traffic and noise of the bigger cities that we had been experiencing in Sicily , so the place was a perfect choice as it is around 30m by car to it. It is also accessible to visit Taormina and Siracusa. The house is extremely comfortable, with all the necessary amenities, beautifully decorated and clean! The hosts are very kind and responsive, we ended up taking longer for our check in than planned and they were supper accommodating towards us. We recommend Emanuela e Mariagiovanna's place for your Sicily trip!

Pete’s place is in a beautiful part of Mineo, a gorgeous little medieval town in central Sicily. The house itself is beautifully renovated and extremely comfortable with everything you would need for a great stay. Pete himself was responsive, clear with his communications and flexible. I couldn’t rate this stay more highly. Recommended unreservedly,

We loved staying here. Alessandra and her mother were very helpful with getting set up, and even though it is next to a busy street, the high ivy covered walls make it feel like an oasis. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the grounds are incredible. The pool is great. it felt bigger than the pictures, and the deep end was good for teaching the kids how to dive. they even have a trampoline! Highly recommend for a peaceful escape.

I stayed in thisapartment for study purposes in the city of Catania. Super available host for any request, he always tried to meet me to help me. Great experience! ✨🌸

Dear Giada :) we had a really really great stay.

Angela and her husband are great hosts 😁

Best place we have stayed in italy,and we have been going for several years. Marco was very attentive and helpful.. A real gem.

We stayed 2 weeks and it was a great base for exploring the east side of Sicily and Etna. A hire car is essential as the apartment is located in a quiet spot away from the main centres. The apartment itself was spacious and comfortable with great views from the wrap around balcony. The swimming pool was a real bonus - we made use of it most days. Salvatore & Antonio were very helpful and responsive to requests (many thanks!). Highly recommended if, like us, you are looking for a peaceful getaway.

We had a lovely stay for 3 days in October. Apartment is really nice and modern. We visited Etna 2 times. It is about 45 min by car to Etna South. We had a nice stay, many thanks

Giovanni’s place is very nice and well-appointed. Giovanni and his wife Jenny were very prompt in helping us with some issues we had at home. I strongly recommend this place but preferably during the spring/summer season.

Outstanding place, just out of the city so it was peaceful, but close enough to be in the centre within minutes (we hired a scooter). The compound itself felt incredibly secure and was beautiful to relax in. Girlfriend fell in love with the cats on the property which were very friendly but not constantly around us. The pool was a great way to wake up every morning but the real espresso machine was an authentic and lovely touch. It is right next to the main street to get into town, which had a fair amount of traffic but the property had a fantastic garden which concealed you away from it, so we honestly didn't really notice the noise. All in all, I would recommend this listing to anyone, and will certainly return if we find ourselves in that part of the island again. 10/10

We stayed for a week at 6 people on the upstairs part of the house. The apartment does not fully match the photos since a bedroom has been added to the living room … but the living room remains very spacious. There were no shutters ( and no opaque curtains in the living room) which is a shame when you sleep in the living room and the sun rises at 6 a.m. ... and especially to cut off the sun when it's very hot . The kitchen was not sufficiently equipped rather rustic Thankfully Sonia was responsive to our requests. The A/C was essential but not good enough to refresh the rooms. I would say that the apartment is worth it for the terrace and the view of Taormina and the tranquility if there are people on the ground floor ( this apartment must be more suitable for a long stay). The exteriors are really magical and very enjoyable during the heatwave they are also very well maintained .

Had absolutely fantastic experience in this beautiful Sicilian house! The view was truly breathtaking. The house itself was charming, authentically furnished and equipped with everything necessary, also for our small children. The pool is large, perfect for cooling off on hot days and was well maintained. The service was also excellent. Both the caretaker and the owner were incredibly helpful and friendly. They were always on hand to help us with any questions or suggestions for fun activities in the area. In short, we are very satisfied with our stay and highly recommend this house to anyone looking for an unforgettable holiday in Sicily.

Our holiday with three families was fantastic. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space of villa Sofia: beautiful swimmingpool (though cold water end of October), a huge outdoor kitchen with possibility to cook on a gas stove or a lava stone, romantic setting of the outdoor table around the old olive tree. The extra entertainment tent is great for spending evenings together, having table tennis contests, as wel as playing pool or darts or table football. We also used the karaoke, it was a lot of fun. The (teenage) children could stay in the chalets with basic furnishings and the adults had three bedrooms in the ground floor apartment (sharing one bathroom). The parents of Benedetta stay on the property, but are very discrete. There are 2 small friendly dogs and some cats on the property. Benedetta received us on arrival and was extremely friendly. This is agriturismo at its best!

Great place! Convenient to all the main attractions. The host was very helpful in organizing local adventures!

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.

we had a great stay at ruben. the room was really nice, the outdoor area as well and the kitchen in the room as well as the shared kitchen had everything you need. ruben helped us with everything and was very helpful :)

Our stay in Sicily was truly unforgettable! The house had a beautiful character, filled with charming details that made it feel like a home. The garden was a stunning oasis, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the warm Sicilian evenings. Our host, Carlo, was exceptional—always available to answer questions and provide recommendations. The highlight of our trip was the incredible five-course Sicilian dinner Carlo organized for us, showcasing the region's delicious cuisine. Each dish was a delight! The location itself is a must-visit, with breathtaking views and rich culture all around. We felt immersed in the beauty and warmth of Sicily. Highly recommend this lovely spot for anyone looking to experience the best of the island!

We enjoyed our stay at Domenico’s immensely! The property was beautiful, the dinner delicious, and the room comfortable. A lovely experience.

We took two cooking classes from Nino & Dina. We learned a lot. The food, wine & conpany were AMAZING. Caterina’s communications were always timely. Beautiful gardens surround the property & the heated (with electric blankets) bed was comfortable. The hosts are generous with breakfast food & even foods for dinner. Excellent coffee. Others have mentioned the dogs, & they bark a lot. Dina contacted the neighbor & it got better, but be prepared for dog noise. We’re not dog owners so it probably bothered us more than most. The apartment is comfortable with various heating options. As it’s an older property, it is compact & has a lot of things in it. If you’re a person of a larger size, the tiny bathroom may not work for you, but we found by opening the shower doors inward, it was more acceptable. Cute towns around to visit, but you have to be willing to drive a bit for them. We’re on a 5 month trip around the world. The cooking class experience has been our hi-light. ❤️

We spent a 10 day vacation here as a group of friends. Already upon arrival we were overwhelmed by the beauty of property and surroundings: located in the beautiful lemon grove overlooking the slopes of Mount Etna and the sea. It couldn't get any better! Boredom never arose, the area offers a lot! However, a car is important. There was also always something to do on the property: beautiful pool, ping pong table, foosball, football or cooking in the great kitchen... and always fresh lemons. Maria Gulia and Angelo are super friendly and often helped us with tips and quick answers. The villa is an absolute recommendation!!
