Villa holiday rentals in Taormina

This is the most beautiful villa: well maintained, wonderful hosts, fully stocked with most everything you would need. The location is very good for exploring this part of the island and the views of the sea on one side, and Etna on the other is really remarkable. The hot tub and pool are amazing and the space is very well organized with large rooms and plenty of common areas.

A beautiful villa with old-world charm yet modern feeling. Amazing views of both the ocean and Etna. Well maintained gardens and grounds, with a lovely pool and sitting area. Pino and Viviana were always quick to respond and helpful. Truly a special place

Martina is a great host who welcomed us very warmly. The house was clean and tidy, Martina was attentive to all our requests and was very available and efficient. The house is traditional and flirtatious, there is a nice terrace with a great view. I would definitely recommend it. You just have to think about having a car because the house is in the heights, or having the ability to climb stairs quite steep for about 10 min. However, the stairs lead directly to the city center.

We had a very nice week !

Highly recommend a stay. The house is beautifully located only a short walk from the sea. The house is very well equipped and was prepared for our needs. We were also positively surprised by the generosity of complementary snacks, grocery and drinks etc. There’s plenty of space both inside and outside the house and several places to dine and just relax. We stayed 4 adults and 2 babies in the house and had a wonderful time. Pierre was always fast to respond to our questions before and during our stay. Would definitely go back!

This space is amazing and right on the water that you can swim in. Not much to do in the town but a nice space that’s in between some of the bigger coastal cities. For comfort I recommend using the mosquito netting and night and opening some windows for colder air. Overall would stay again.

We spent two nights at Tatiana and Giancarlo's place. The place has everything you need and Tatiana was incredibly helpful. We were also sent a brochure with helpful information about the place and what Tatiana could help with. The place is 5 to 10 minutes walking a lot of stairs up to the city center and the gondola of Mazzaro and the villa itself is sheltered from the noise of the city. There is also a great pool area on the property that you can use if desired. Everything was clean and the apartment appeared very exclusive in the furnishings and decor. There is good and sheltered parking at the property. We recommend the place and had a wonderful stay.

The villa is located in an exclusive gated community, i.e. access with roller shutter. The surroundings are correspondingly exclusive and quiet. Very large living area with the perfect view of Catania and Mount Etna. You will love coming "home" to this dream location after the excursions. The counter with high chairs on the terrace is perfect! Kitchen is complete and we liked cooking something. Hosts are personally on site and take care of the guests.

This villa is not a modern hotel but a grand estate reminiscent of the aristocracy of Italy; private, but living within the culture of the surrounding area. The grounds are lush and gated with a very large swimming pool. A car is necessary to get to other cities and/or bus stops/train stations. The GPS on our personal phones was excellent and useful in traveling around Sicily. Our hosts, Francesco and Maria, were warm and genteel. They live on the premises next to the villa so access to their assistance and advice was always available via phone, AirBNB and What's App. The beds are antique and amazingly comfortable - a recommendation would be to have additional pillows available for those who may not be back sleepers. We had 7 women from our bookclub back home and it sleeps 13 so there is plenty of space for a larger group. We would stay at the villa again if we do go back to Sicily. We had a great time!!!!

We had an incredible stay at Maria Grazia’s home! The accommodation was not only comfortable but also beautifully designed, making it a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. Maria Grazia’s recommendations for local activities and dining were spot on – we really enjoyed the places she suggested. And the views from the property were absolutely stunning, truly a highlight of our trip. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable stay! Highly recommend!

Excellent stay in a peaceful village close to Mount Etna and wine country

We spent some really pleasant time at Villa 😊Flara Roberta was very kind,the villa is kept impeccably and is equipped with every comfort. We brought our little dog on vacation with us, the house is totally fenced, and there is no danger that the dog will escape . We'll definitely be back, thanks again. Thanks again Chiara and Salvo

Everything was perfect. Emanuele is very responsive and accommodating. The villa is amazing, great location, great view, very well equipped (swimming pool, barbecue, parking space etc.). We were a group of 14 and had a great time. I highly recommend it!

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!

I, my wife and our 10-11 month baby had a fantastic one month stay at Villa Britannia. The beautiful villa had everything we looked for: great location, a lovely garden (in which "The Snake" by DH Lawrence was written), a big kitchen (great for perfecting Pasta alla Norma), seaview and parking (the large garage could easily fit our quite long estate car). Louisa and her husband Marco are lovely people and provided service on a far higher level than most Airbnb-hosts. Any minor issues were quickly sorted out. Louisa would bring us wines to try and proactively let us know about events in town or traffic challenges, as well as giving great recommendations and help with any problem. We were provided with a baby cot, a baby bath, several (!) baby chairs and lots of toys. Could not ask for more. We really hope to be back one day!

Great host, very attentive. Place was a paradise!

It was our first ever trip to Sicily. Giuliana’s home has a Stunning entrance, gated and the surroundings felt very safe. The external views of the village, hills and pool is absolutely breathtaking with well equipped and beautifully selected furniture. We had A-LOT of questions being newbies which Giuliana so promptly and kindly answered including lots of recommendations especially where to park as most places provided a central parking space which was then walkable to the historical towns etc. Thank you so much for a wonderful warm welcome. Love everything Sicilian 🩵🩵🩵 Ps. Just to note-there is a separate apartment right below with guests who also share the pool.

We spent a week at the apartment and loved every moment of it. The location is amazing, peaceful with a breathtaking view of the sea and Mount Etna. The apartment is very comfortable and tastefully decorated and every detail is taken care of (from hairdryer and hair straightener, to olive oil and spices for cooking, as well as coffee and a bottle of local wine as a welcome gift). Marianna and her family truly care about the wellbeing of their guests and are very welcoming of kids. Marianna provided us with plenty of great suggestions on places to visit, restaurants to check out and practical advice that was always spot on. We would love to go back.

Lovely Airbnb in a private compound. Walkable to the little village of Santa Tecla and to a Hotel with a nice Lido. Paolo was a great host and very responsive throughout the stay.

The house located in a truly peaceful and relaxing place, with lemon trees and olive trees around; the house is very beautiful and lovely, with lovely flowers around the garden, and smell really good. Vanessa and her family are very kind and nice, provided us everything we need. It's easy to drive to so many nice restaurants nearby, and very close to several towns and cities. We had a wonderful week here!

Antonino’s house is the perfect base from which to explore this exceptionally beautiful part of Sicily. Taormina, Mount Etna and Savoca are all a short drive away. You can escape back from the tourist spots to this Oasis with picture postcard views and every amenity you could ask for. Antonino is a gracious host with a love for growing fruit and vegetables in his garden under the villa and sharing this produce with his guests. We were treated to home made limoncello, olive oil, passion fruit and mandarins, as well as one of his renowned barbecues which included some of the most delicious swordfish and mussels I have eaten. Santa Teresa de Riva is a pretty Sicilian seaside town with multiple cafes and restaurants where you can rub shoulders with the locals and try the specialties of the region. You will experience a far more authentic Sicily here than in the neighbouring tourist Mecca of Taormina. I highly recommend a stay at Antonino’s house. It was everything we could have hoped for

We had a lovely stay at Villa Ambra. As others have mentioned in previous reviews, the place looks better than in the pictures. It was clean and had a very nice outdoor area with a pool, sunbeds, dining area, grill and table tennis. We had to check in very late, but that was no problem which was very nice. We would also like to recommend the taxi driver Carmelo and his son Luca, recommended by the host of the villa (his card is in the villa). Carmelo was like our private guide every time we needed to go somewhere and told us a lot about the history of Naxos, Taormina and Castelmola. On the final day he took us to Siracusa for a day trip, which we highly recommend!

Probably one of my favorite Airbnb experiences so far. The place is beautiful, even more beautiful than the photos, super spacious, has everything we needed and more, and had stunning views of Etna. We felt right at home and did not even want to leave the place to explore. Daniella was a superstar, she was very friendly, proactive, responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for accommodating us, we had a wonderful time.

A great home away from home for the Christmas Holiday. The kitchen was amazing and allowed for us to make all our traditional Christmas dishes. Furthermore, the living room was cozy. The couch was perfect and allowed multiple people to curl up and watch Christmas movies. Additionally, the gaming room provided much needed space for board games, karaoke, puzzles, and reading. The house was immaculate, and our host was absolutely wonderful. We showed up late the first evening and our host made traditional Sicilian delicacies for us to eat. The arancini were delicious. I would 100% come back, especially in the summer so I can enjoy their beautiful pool. 100% recommend.
