House holiday rentals in Gioiosa Marea

Amazing place with a pool and hot tub right on the beach! Perfect location (must have a car) to drive to Cefalu for a day trip. I could have stayed here for longer. There was a grill we used to make dinner. House was in great condition just as pictured. Highly recommend.

We were in transit and for us this was a wonderful "Tiny house" in a beautiful and quiet environment. What was really wonderful was the swimming pool that we immediately used after a wonderful tour of Sicily. And what a welcoming reception. The host was waiting for us and in the house something delicious was ready for us. The host even wanted to help us bring the suitcases to the house. The host responds quickly to questions and is always willing to help and advise you. So for us, a TOP experience.

What a special place 🧡 Stunning location within a family home of 300 years. Gorgeous views, heart warming rustic charm, ancient olive groves, a pool to cool down in, little homemade treats from Iryna’s Mum, freshly laid eggs…the list goes on! Iryna was an amazing host, welcoming, super helpful, brilliant communicator and caring. Nothing was too much trouble and she went the extra mile several times. We love love loved it. It would have been helpful to know that the second bedroom has both the kitchen and bathroom off it. We were with close family and friends so we made it work for us. A big warm thank you for a special time ♥️

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!

**5-Star Review: A Slice of Sicilian Paradise** We spent an unforgettable week in June at *Villa in Campagna con Piscina* and cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were completely enchanted by the stunning beauty of the home and the surrounding gardens. The villa is even more gorgeous than the pictures—tastefully decorated, impeccably clean, and filled with charm. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to ensure comfort and relaxation. The gardens are a true highlight—lush, colorful, and meticulously maintained. Waking up each morning to the sound of birdsong and the scent of blooming flowers was pure magic. The pool area is equally serene and private, perfect for lounging in the sun or enjoying a quiet swim under the Sicilian sky. What makes this place truly special, though, are the hosts, Anna and Sergio. They are incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever being intrusive. Their hospitality made us feel more like family than guests. F

This is a luxury gem hidden away in a tranquil location. The only minus off season was that most restaurants <30 minutes away were closed (October) otherwise this place is magic, clean, newly refurbished, has all necessary amenities, incredibly private and has excellent hosts and goat farmer neighbors ;)

Antonio and his Family were super helpful and nice! Great Place to stay! Great Pool!

Andrea was a fantastic host , super friendly , helpful and proactive . We took a wrong turn and got a little lost trying to find it and Andrea came immediately to find us and guide us to the house and he had a helpful guide printed out and sent electronically which had useful suggestions and some good restaurant tips. He also offered some fresh vegetables from his garden . The house is cosy and comfortable with a beautiful garden full of herbs and flowers and a refreshing little pool. It is only a short drive from the main town but sufficient to be quiet, safe, secluded and in a more natural environment It suited us as we like disconnecting from our city lives and getting back to simple living and enjoying nature . The view of Etna and ocean views were wonderful to enjoy over a beer or wine. We thought it was a good location for our 3 day visit to see Etna and a day trip to Taormina . We were very happy and wish Andrea and his family all the best .

Entering Matteo's house was like reconnecting with the island's history, the floor with worn ceramic is full of charm..... The doors with their weathered wood... You can't help but feel good in a house like this! thank you Matteo! And thanks to Lucia who welcomed us with her great sweetness and discretion

Our stay at Casa Scirocco Glicine contributed to a magical week. The house is in a lovely location, the interiors are well cared for and comfortable, the outdoor patio is very enjoyable even out of season (we were there in April). The garden looks like a botanical garden, beautiful to be able to walk in the middle of plants in harmony with each other. The best part of the house was probably being able to enjoy breakfast as soon as you wake up with a view of the sea from above, Volcano in the background and cedar trees, mandarins and cactus in the foreground, listening to many different species of birds that greeted the day! We were checked in by Heloisa who was very nice and approachable even in the following days. We were also lucky enough to meet Alice and William who were two wonderful and friendly people, available to respond to every request and with whom it was also very pleasant to chat while drinking a beer.

We had a fantastic stay in Sergio's wonderful place. The old building has been very nicely restored and the views from the private terrace are spectacular. The surrounding area is the most beautiful in all of Sicily with lots of amazing places to visit. There's a good restaurant just 5 minutes downhill on foot where we ate every night - the pizza and pasta are excellent and well priced. Our 4 nights were definitely not enough and we hope to return as soon as possible and stay longer. Highly recommended.

Excellent stay in Lipari in this house, which is really more beautiful than in the photos! The view is magical, the terrace huge, and by chance of the calendar maybe we were alone (the apartments below were empty). Impeccable cleanliness, no complaints. And Rachele offered to pick us up at the port, which was not necessary, having rented a car. The hosts speak almost no English but everything was so clear that it was not a problem. Great value, we recommend it!

Wonderful! The house, surrounded by greenery and quiet, has a priceless view. It's a short walk from the small center of Malfa and a 10-minute walk from the beach. Mini apartment with double bedroom and en-suite bathroom and small kitchen on the outdoor terrace. The terrace is wonderful. Impeccable cleanliness and hospitality. Absolutely recommended!

This neighborhood of old fishermen's houses is very nice and quiet. The house is comfortable and the small garden is very nice. Claudio is a host like you don't meet often, affable, attentive, who loves his region and just wants to help you discover and appreciate it.

Carlo's accommodation was very quiet with a beautiful view of the sea. The check-in with Carlos' mother was very warm and uncomplicated despite language barriers (on both sides). All rooms are super clean and the kitchen is well equipped. Unfortunately, there is no AC for the bedroom(s), which is why it can get very warm in warmer temperatures. The terrace is shared with Carlos' uncle Alfredo, who is only outside for a few minutes a day. Alfredo is good at German, is very likeable and always up for a chat. He was never there overnight. The surroundings are beautiful, but not very touristy, which is why it is recommended to book a rental car and learn a word or two of Italian.

Dino is an awesome guy. greatest view there is

Great location in front of the marina, Alberto came to get me at the port and brought me there for my departure. Close to everything in Milazzo appartement fully equiped, will go there again when I go back to Milazzo.

Beautiful, peaceful and serene. The sunrise over the sea is visible from the bedroom as it faces eastward. Decent hikes around the island. Hosts were helpful in finding us a place to dine out on the island even during low season. Will be visiting again!

Elisa and Nino were wonderful hosts. They made us feel right at home and went above and beyond… We loved the animals (dogs, cats, donkeys, pigs, sheep, goats, cows, chickens) and the scenery was beautiful. They cooked us dinner the first night with wine (for a small fee). Would recommend for a quiet peaceful stay on Sicily :-) thank you

Very pretty and peaceful stay. Closely located to port for easy access to ferries to other islands

Lorenza happened to be in Lipari city on the ferry when we arrived and spontaneously transported some of our luggage by car to Canneto, while we took the public bus to the neighboring village. The reception was friendly, on request she gave some tips for shopping and activities. The apartment is clean, bright, modern and tastefully furnished, terrace overlooking the sea, the long village street/promenade and the neighboring islands Panarea and Stromboli. Shopping, bistros and restaurants within walking distance. Bus stop right in front of the house. Highly recommended!

Incredible views. Incredible little village 5 minutes walk away, mountain and sea views. Completely magnificent, didn't get enough. Car a must but easy to find everywhere, recommend sunkisses beach club where it was easy to park the car. The village just above had everything you can wish for, sparse with restaurants but was good enough. There was also a small shop, with an emphasis on small. The host was very accommodating and easy to deal with. Very quiet and restful accommodation, which the soul felt good from. We were one day in Taormina but longed back to the tranquility of Forza di Agro.

A beautiful, simple stone house with blue doors and a veranda overlooking the sea and, on clear days, the Sicilian mainland. The two rooms are simply and tastefully furnished, they stay nice and cool during the day. Angelo's apartment is next door, he is a discreet landlord, very nice, helpful and accommodating.

From the scent of Jasmine, as you enter the gate, it feels like a little Eden to come to Villa Mediterranea. Alessia and Adelio were there to greet us with smiles. Alessia plucked blood oranges, lemons, and clementines from the trees on the terrace to provide a refreshment at our arrival. This was such an amazing touch. But only the first of many during our stay. The views from the patio are just breathtaking. Perched high in a cliff top just north of Taormina center, we had a view out to the sea and to the misty mountains of the Italian mainland beyond. It is a magical place. Alessia, Adelfio, and Enza checked in with us often and provided great suggestions for things to do while we were there. The Villa is just a short 10 minute walk from the city center, but also feels a world away in its contained beauty and privacy. The pool is wonderful. It is a pleasure to lounge by it in the warm sun and then take refreshing dips to cool off. We loved this place and highly recommend it
