Family-friendly holiday rentals in Zafferana Etnea

Perfect location right near the entrance for the old town

My wife and I had a wonderful stay. It is exactly as pictured. The apartment is extremely clean. The kitchen is well equipped. The view is amazing. Dorotea was such a warm and inviting host. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful apartment located in a characteristic village. Quiet area and great starting point for visiting the surroundings. Host available and courteous always ready to provide us with directions and suggestions regarding our needs. Recommended!

Very good place, we had a wonderful stay!

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!

Our time at Mario’s house was amazing. The pictures do not do justice to the views from all parts of the home. The property is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. It is huge and beautiful. The home is very safe and is surrounded by a gate, including the driveway. The surrounding area is quaint and very walkable. There are cafes and small shops. We were a party of 8, with two families of 4. There was plenty of space for us all to stay comfortably. Mario and his family were kind and gracious hosts. We would absolutely recommend staying here and my children have asked how soon we can return :)

A very large complex with large swimming pool and good facilities. We were with 2 families incl. 4 children (9-15 years) there. We had everything we needed to stay there all day. Well-known destinations (Etna, Syracuse, Catania, Taorminar) can be reached about 1 hour.

Brilliant location in the heart of the old city. Beautiful space. We loved the terrace, especially. If you want a vibrant, spacious, attractive place then book this!

Excellent stay at Andrea's, the apartment matches the photos, very clean and excellent location I would recommend it without hesitating Thanks to Andrea

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.

A charming and beautifully located spot in the heart of Taormina. The space was clean, well-maintained, and perfectly situated for exploring the area. The host was attentive and maintained excellent communication throughout our stay.

Had a great time staying here. We were able to check in right when we arrived, were given local recommendations on where to try really good food. We had a nice corner balcony. Beds were comfortable, everything was perfect

What a great experience - thanks so much!

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 .

Elisa was extremely friendly and accommodating. The location of the apartment is just below taormina so you can easily walk to 5.min taormina. The apartment is very spacious. You can relax well on the terrace. ☺️ It was very pleasant to stay with Elisa.

Fantastic location at the foot of Mount Etna, with beautiful views over the surrounding area. The house has all the comforts and was delivered clean. Michela is a very friendly host and communicated quickly. An absolute no-brainer in terms of value for money.

Beautiful villa at the base of Mt. Etna. Very large pool and garden. Nadia and her family are close by and very responsive / always willing to help. The location is great as it is close to the volcano and a 15 min drive to the beaches. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back!

This was a beautiful place to stay in a beautiful city. The unit was set back from the road and was so picturesque. There was so much space for our two families. We could not have asked for a better place!

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.

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 check-in was flexible and easily arranged. The villa was beautiful and very comfortable for two couples, located outside of the city which makes it easy to unplug and relax. Thanks for a lovely stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the appartement. We really enjoyed the beautiful balcony and the nature all around. We even got nice fresh fruits out of the garden!

Helga's place was very conveniently located to the historic center of Taormina - less than a 5-minute walk to the Porta Messina. There are some stairs and grade changes to get there, but it's not a big deal unless you are mobility impaired. The apartment is located in a condominium building with a fantasic view north up the coast. There's a spacious patio (which we would've used a lot had it not rained every day!!) to take advantage of the view. The communal infinity pool also looked amazing but, again, the weather didn't cooperate. In the summer, it must be great! The place is well-furnished and the rooms were spacious. The bathroom was well-equipped (though a few more bath/shower amenities would have been nice) and also spacious. On-site garage parking meant we didn't have to deal with any parking hassles and there was an elevator to get us and our luggage up to the apartment. Directions were very clear and Helga sent her housekeeper to meet us personally. Highly recommended

Cute place to relax! The host was really nice!
