Holiday rentals in Villaggio Paradiso Degli Aranci, Catania

We had a wonderful week at the beautiful Villa Segreta. On arrival we were greeted by Maria, her son Joel and their friendly dogs and litter of puppies! Our 20-month old son immediately fell in love with them, especially little Digby. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They provided us with everything we needed and kindly allowed us use of their grandson’s pram and toys. One evening we were a bit stuck for food and Maria provided us with a delicious homemade meal. Regarding the location, we loved the views towards Mount Etna and were lucky to see lava activity and hear a few rumbles at night. We hired a car so that we could travel to several locations across the island. The suggested itineraries provided were excellent. Overall, our stay was just perfect and one that has left us with many happy memories. Thank you so much for your amazing hospitality - we hope to come back again.

My wife, two children and I were greeted by Domenico. He was very welcoming, took the time to give us the instructions and was proactive (recommendations, additional information about the accommodation...) throughout the stay so that we had a great experience. The space is spacious and has everything a family needs. Finally, the accommodation is very well placed to radiate in the area and go to Taormina, Etna, Catania or Syracuse. In short, I recommend:-).

The apartment is spacious for 4 people, with 2 separate bedrooms, a living room, and 3 (!) balconies. There is a good washing machine indeed. The kitchen has everything including a microwave, a toaster, kitchenware and an oven, excepting only a dishwasher and a coffee maker. There were soluble coffee and olive oil and many spices for cooking available. There are 3 big groceries and a few bakeries nearby. We could even pre-order fresh "cornetti con pistacchio" to pick them up the next day. They also offer a delivery to the apartment :-) Near the building or on the street we were always able to find a free parking space, without any issues to (our anyway insured) car. There are two AC systems in every bedroom, capable of both heating and cooling. The host was very friendly and helpful. He even met us personally. Just if you don't know Italian, be sure to use a translator. Location is 10-15 minutes of driving from the Piazza Maravigna (free parking) or airport. Thanks Christopher!

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.

fantastic view from the terrace, apartment equipped with everything you need. matteo and his daughter were very nice and helpful. Car is however absolutely necessary! We'd love to come back, thank you 🥰

If you want/need wifi and privacy, this place might not be for you. There is no wifi in the apartment. I was able to make calls and do a bit of work outside, when it wasn’t raining. The unit shares a thin wall with another airbnb, so you can hear them clearly. Having said that, this is an absolutely beautiful location for a holiday! Floriana and Mario are wonderful, responsive people. The place was clean. The view is stellar.

Great experience! Elisa contacted us beforehand to give us plenty of information and to see if we had questions. She was so kind to arrange a children's chair, a bed and a stroller for the baby by our request. She came by to give us sweets, which was really nice! Elisa made sure we felt at home and that everything was in order: enough towels, made up beds, clean kitchen, private pool with some toys... The area is peaceful with a supermarket nearby. Not so many restaurants, but you can drive about 10minutes for the town Aci Castello or 20minutes for the big town Catania.

We loved Sara's apartment. it has a lovely homely feeling. Close to everything and no issues with anything with the apartment. Highly recommend.
