Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Catania

Thank you to Michela and Giancarlo for the most wonderful 10 day trip! Giancarlo was very flexible when our flight got cancelled. The property is beautiful and is a perfect base to explore the Amalfi Coast. It has 2 private areas to sunbathe with sun beds/umbrellas. It is a short walk to the nearest beach and only 10/15 minutes walk into Maiori, where you can get a water ferry or bus to anywhere required. Would highly recommend staying here - Wonderful host, beautiful surroundings, amazing property and overall excellent trip! Thank you, Dan

Wim’s place is beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for a family vacation. It was nice to be away from people and to finally relax. Stefania was kind, helpful, and personable. The home offered what we all needed. We cooked the majority of our meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. Wim was proactive, and provided a complete guide to all things Puglia. Unplugged and unwinding is the way of life in Serranova.

We had the most wonderful days in this house. Everything is even nicer than in the photos. You can tell that everything has been renovated and furnished with a lot of love and care. The furnishings are consistently high quality. The secluded location creates absolute peace, while at the same time you are 10 minutes from the sea and the nearest shopping facilities. The communication was reliable, warm and inviting. Absolute recommendation!

Giancarlo’s place as a slice of heaven! We had the most relaxing time, and our host took care of us so well. We will definitely be coming back! I highly recommend

The house was exactly as described. Amazing location, beautifully kept and Patrizia was such a great host. Would recommend this place for the perfect base to explore Matera 👍

The listing was absolutely beautiful and very clean. Monica was exceptionally kind, helpful and communicative. I would definitely recommend!

The accommodation, like the Sassi di Matera, was exceptional and made our stay idyllic. Matera is a beautiful city, timeless and very peaceful. The accommodation, which keeps a very cool temperature despite the heat outside, is very well located in the old town. It is close to all the restaurants and all the small alleys, so it is very easy to do everything on foot. Finally, Patrizia was very available and very friendly. I would recommend it in a second.

Beautiful clean apartment. Cozy and comfortable. Vito helped us a lot with information about the trains and the city. I recommend it

We LOVED it! Emiliana’s place was recommended to us by friends as the highlight of their trip. We, too, can say that her place is very special and it was such a memorable experience to stay there. The photos cannot do it justice, and somehow the 91 stairs from the church piazza up to the apartment felt worth it, every single time. Our host was friendly and easy to communicate with, before and during our stay. Emiliana shared a wonderful path up the Valle del Dragone to Ravello that was one of our trip highlights. She was very flexible with our arrival and was able to graciously extend our stay when we ran into an issue. If you have the chance to stay in this magical place , you’ll never forget it.

Had an amazing two month stay in this place. The apartment is spaceous and centrally located, I felt right at home. Lisania and her husband were very welcoming and provided fresh linens throughout my stay.

The place was incredible, it was charming and cozy apartment in Tropea. Giulia was always helpful and proactive, I definitely will return to her apartment in the future.

Our stay at Casa Gentile was absolutely perfect! The home was somehow even more beautiful than in the pictures, with the most gorgeous view of the Sea. Fiorella assisted us throughout our stay and she made our time in Praiano amazing. Gennaro and Fiorella arranged private transportation from Naples to Praiano, making our commute much easier. Fiorella greeted us and gave us a tour of the house, printed bus schedules, and even sent a detailed list of restaurant and beach recommendations. Her family took great care of us, helping us bring luggage up steps and even picking fresh fruit for us throughout our stay. I cannot emphasize enough just how welcoming Fiorella was, she certainly was the best host we’ve ever had. As for Praiano, there are internal busses that take you around the beautiful town, as well as busses to Positano and Amalfi, very close near by. The busses were often late, but I’m sure it’s because we came during peak season. Anyways, we can’t wait to be back one day. Grazie!

Can’t recommend Federica’s place enough! Such a great spot & easy to get to Napoli, Amalfi coast, Capri, Pompeii… we enjoyed our stay throughly & Federica was so friendly & kind. She provided many options & recommendations to make our holiday the best experience.

My 3 sisters and I stayed for our annual European trip and the apartment met out needs and more. Every morning was spent on the balcony taking in the breathtaking views. Taormina is the jewel in Sicily’s crown with so much to do and see including a taste of opera, history, boat tours, beaches, shopping, gelato and more. 5 days was not long enough. Local shops and amenities are on the doorstep and you couldn’t ask for a better location with easy access to the cable car and bus stops etc. Very easy pick up/drop off for Uber. Steps are a feature of the area so pack at least 1 pair of sensible shoes!

This is the single best Airbnb experience we have ever had. We have stayed at Airbnbs for many years, and we are hosts ourselves, and what Cristina and her family have created is truly extraordinary. The home is beautifully appointed with everything you will need for a wonderful stay. The beds and furniture are extremely comfortable; the linens and towels are soft and brand new; the kitchen is equipped with everything needed to prepare a lovely meal; Cristina’s communication, assistance, and warm hospitality is truly remarkable. That all would be more than enough to make this a standout Airbnb, but what makes Cristina’s home such an experience is the love and wisdom and history that her mother poured into her archeological work on Buccino’s incredible history. From the Roman baptistery and marble columns visible beneath your feet, to the INCREDIBLE QR codes that allow you to see what the room you are sitting in looked like in the past, this is a home you absolutely must visit.

Beautiful stay in a relaxing environment in the countryside but close to the pretty town of Cisternino and the main attractions of the Itria Valley. The apartment and its beautiful terrace with a panoramic view of the countryside, is perfectly equipped. We also enjoyed the very hearty and homemade breakfast. The host is friendly and was accommodating with our arrival time. In short, a superb experience that delighted us.

This is an extremely beautiful house in a perfect environment. It is very well furnished, sparkling clean and invites you to linger. We enjoyed the stay with the very nice pool and had been received very friendly and attentive beforehand. All in all highly recommended!

The villa is great, and the garden and pool are huge and very attractive, and also well maintained. Paul is an excellent host, friendly and responsive. You definitely need a car here as there are no pavements on the road outside the gates and the traffic whizzes along it. The local town, Trecastagni, is nice, with bars, restaurants and shops of all sorts. Overall our stay was excellent. The only downside was a building site next door that was noisy and created fumes and dust during the week, but I guess that won't be forever. Already missing it, the morning swim especially, and of course the sight (and sound) of Etna. Highly recommended. Visit Taormina while you're there. And try the Etna DOC wines.

One of the nicest locations i have stayed in. The sea access, terrace and views could not be improved they are stunning. Siracusa itself also stunning. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at Antonino’s place. The house was beautiful, clean, and perfectly located for exploring Taormina and the surrounding area. Antonino was a fantastic host, always helpful and quick to respond. One of the highlights of our trip was the amazing dinner he prepared for us by the pool one evening. It was a truly memorable experience and such a generous gesture. Thank you for everything, Antonino, we hope to come back one day!

It is hard to put into words how much we enjoyed our stay here. First of all, Gabriella is a FANTASTIC host. From the moment we started communicating she was so helpful, booking activities for us and arranging for taxis with drivers who were so friendly. And her father, Giuseppe, was so warm and welcoming as well. The home was absolutely spotless, had so many amenities, and Gabriella provided so many thoughtful and nice touches that made us feel so well loved and cared for. They truly felt like family. We were here celebrating two 25th anniversaries between our two families, as well as the graduation of our children from high school. We could not have picked a more beautiful and special place. Two of our outings - a boat tour to Capri that started and ended in Amalfi and hiking the Path of the Gods, finishing in Positano - made us feel even better about our choice of where to stay. Those other two cities were packed, but Furore was so peaceful. We highly recommend this lovely home!

Alberto was a fantastic, friendly host. He gave us reccomendations, booked us a great value return taxi and even taught us how to make pizza! The villa had a breath-taking view and it felt like our own little mountain retreat. The only downside is that the driveway is very steep and long - we had to leave our rental cars at the bottom of the road (and scratched one car from attempting to drive up it!). But, if you're ok with a steep walk up, then don't let it put you off staying in the beautiful location.

This was an exceptional place! The host was very friendly, told us about the history of the place, and didn't mind placing an extra bed (we were 7, but on Airbnb it was mentioned that it's only for 6 people), which we are very grateful for. The building and surroundings are so beautiful we decided to cancel our planned small trips to the neighbouring cities and chill next to the pool! 10 out of 10! We will definitely come back 💛

The villa is in an excellent location. There are 2 excellent restaurants on the street. We were able to sit outside and have an excellent view of the ocean . There are also 2 grocery stores. And there are several bus stops. It was easy to get on the local bus to go to Positano and Amalfi.
