Pamacla home
Excelente alojamiento en Letojanni!!! a pasos de la playa, tanto publica como privada, a la vuelta de un supermercado, panaderia, pescaderia, la mejor heladeria ! La casa es grande, comoda, tiene un patio con mesa , sillas y lavadora, y se mantiene fresca a pesar del calor de afuera, no tuve necesidad de prender el aire acondicionado en ningun momento, ducha perfecta. y Agatha y el marido dos personas encantadoras!!!! 5 estrellas!y Letojanni es perfecto para tomarlo como punto de partida para recorrer la costa este de Sicilia! mucho mas tranquilo y barato que Taormina, y las playas extensas y hermosas.

Panoramic Penthouse
The place was beautifully decorated and had amazing views! I wish we had booked for a longer stay. So conveniently located to everything and would love to come back someday.

Il Giardino Blu - Un affaccio sul mare di Taormina
Super séjour chez Lara, logement agréable, équipé propre et bien décoré. Situé juste a coté de Taormina accessible en voiture et en bus. Juste au bord de la mer, vous serez bercés par les vagues ! Accessible après un guai sans trop de difficulté en voiture puis vous avez accès a une place de parking couvert. Lara est très sympathique ! Nous recommandons !

Attico Solaris
My stay at Giorgio's penthouse was absolutely fantastic! The space was pristine and incredibly comfortable, providing a perfect solo retreat. Giorgio was an exceptional host – very responsive, kind, and even shared some excellent local pizza recommendations. Everything was exactly as described, exceeding my expectations. I will definitely be returning to this Airbnb on my next trip!

Attico sullo Stretto di Messina
This place was absolutely beautiful with a beautiful view. Very clean . We had everything we needed. Would definetely come back here. And recommend this place to everyone.

Casa di Arturo Mansarda
Die Wohnung ist zwar schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber die Lage macht das absolut wett: Direkt neben einem Discounter und in erster Reihe zum Strand – von der großen Terrasse aus hat man einen traumhaften 180-Grad-Blick über das Meer und die umliegenden Gebiete. Die Stadt selbst ist charmant mit zwei, drei kleinen Restaurants, und auch die umliegenden Orte sind gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Im Hochsommer ist die Location wirklich ideal – da kann man nichts falsch machen. Die Terrasse erreicht man über eine Wendeltreppe, sie gehört zu einem kleinen separaten Apartment, das auf den Fotos im Inserat etwas anders wirkt. Am besten vorher genau anschauen. Wer sehr groß ist, sollte die Dachschräge bedenken – aber auch das ist machbar. Arthur war sehr hilfsbereit, als Internet und Fernseher anfangs nicht funktionierten. Alles in allem: Wer eine tolle Lage direkt am Meer sucht und über kleinere Eigenheiten hinwegsehen kann, ist hier genau richtig.

Appartamento sotto Taormina a pochi passi dal mare
We stayed at this studio for four days at the end of a 28 day trip around Sicily. The apartment is in a great location 3 minutes by foot from the waterfront and about 3 minutes from Dalmazia bus stop where you can catch the bus to Catania. We also took the bus to Taormina. The hosts have lots of great recommendations for things to do and restaurants both in Naxos and Taormina. The apartment is basic but has everything you need for a short stay including a washing machine onsite. The bed was very comfortable and the pace was quiet at night. Super responsive and friendly host who kindly accommodated our request for early check in. The staff on site are friendly too.

Appartamento 2 frontemare
Apartmán byl přesně podle popisu, vše čisté a pohodlné. Ložnice je oddělená zavíratelnými dveřmi a má také svůj vstup na terasu. To nám velmi vyhovovalo. Okna směřují na východ, takže je ráno na terase už docela teplo, naopak odpoledne a večer je tam příjemně. Apartmán má venkovní rolety, které plně zastíní ranní východní slunce. V červnu bylo okolí spíše klidné i na pláži, která je z jemných kamínků, bylo vždy jen pár lidí. Restaurace, kavárna nebo zmrzlinárna jsou kousek, akorát obchod je dál, dalo by se asi dojít pěšky, ale lepší je jet autem.

Monolocale Taormina a 100 Metri da stazione
Francesco, you are the best owner. You were very kind and the guide was detailed and easy to understand, and the room was comfortable. Thanks to him and his wife, I had a great experience and I want to come again

La Marina - Casa Assuntina
Es ist wie alles auf den Bildern beschrieben. Das Apartment ist sehr nah am Strand. Das ist toll. Zu unserem Zeitpunkt waren sehr viele Bauarbeiten rund um die Wohnung und es war sehr laut. Gut zu wissen ist, dass die Terrasse von allen Nachbarn auf jeder Seite einsehbar ist. Daher hast du keine Privatsphäre auf der Terrasse. Die Unterkunft ist ansonsten sehr sauber und hat genügend Platz. Der Host Salvatore ist sehr hilfsbereit und nett, hat alles super geklappt.

Casa Nica—Seafront Home in Village Near Acireale
We had a lovely stay at Chiara"s place. Swims in the morning and drinks on the balcony in the warm evenings. The apartment is very well appointed and tastefully decorated.

A Casa di Edo
Wir waren mit unserem Aufenthalt sehr zufrieden. Alessandro war sehr kommunikativ, beim Check-in, bei Problemen, beim Transfer unserer Tochter zum Flughafen. Die kleine Terrasse haben wir sehr genossen, ist sie doch gefühlt fast direkt am Meer. Wir können die Wohnung nur weiter empfehlen. Volker und Iris

Marvelous Seaside House w/Garden + FREE Parking
Daniele's apartment is at the far end of the Naxos bay a ten minute walk from the hussle and bussle of the beaches and beach side restaurants/traffic. It sits between a couple of small, independent hotels but for us, in mid-June, was very quiet and peaceful, and with a beautiful setting overlooking well kept gardens and the sea. Not much else to add to the other positive reviews.....it's a great, well-appointed, private and quiet apartment and not a bad place from which to explore the Messina region if you have a car. We certainly recommend!

House of Design with Jacuzzi
We had an excellent stay in Dario’s lovely apartment. The roof terrace with the jacuzzi and view of Etna is stunning! The rest of the apartment is spacious, well designed and comfortable - the kitchen was remarkably well equipped. Dario was a very responsive and helpful host and Riposto is well located for visiting the East coast of Sicily.

Attico sul mare con splendido panorama Canneto
Lorenza war bei unserer Ankunft mit der Fähre zufällig in Lipari-Stadt und hat spontan einen Teil unseres Gepäcks mit dem Auto nach Canneto transportiert, während wir den öffentlichen Bus ins Nachbardorf benutzt haben. Der Empfang war freundlich, auf Nachfrage gab sie einige Tipps zum Einkaufen und für Unternehmungen. Die FeWo ist sauber, hell, modern und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, Terrasse mit Blick aufs Meer, die lang gezogene Dorfstraße/Promenade und die Nachbarinseln Panarea und Stromboli. Einkaufsmöglickeiten, Bistros und Restaurants fußläufig erreichbar. Bushaltestelle direkt vorm Haus. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Villa in Aeolian style
Eine einfache aber wunderschöne Villa mit viel Platz, mehreren Terassen und einem wunderschönen und unverbautem Blick auf das Meer. Von dort kann man zu Fuß oder auch mit dem Auto die Gegend erkunden und man kann jeden Tag etwas neues entdecken. Sei es das Castello, den Capo Milazzo oder das alte und neue Zentrum der Stadt. Das Haus ist einfach eingerichtet, nicht auf dem neuesten Stand, aber auch das hat seinen Charme. Ja, es gibt keine richtigen Duschen oder eine Klimaanlage, aber das wurde durch die Aussicht, den großzügigen Garten und vieles mehr wieder wettgemacht. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich noch Alessandra und ihre Familie. Superfreundlich, hilfsbereit und reagieren total nett und zeitnah auf Anfragen. Vielen Dank für 2 tolle Wochen auf Sizilien.
Waterfront condo accommodation

- ViaRoma - Appartamento centralissimo vista mare
Extremely beautiful apartment, well equipped and across the road from the Strait of Messina - a dream location. Highly recommended.

Apartment in Seafront Villa
We had a really lovely stay! The apartment is well-equipped and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the beautiful terrace – perfect for breakfast or a relaxing evening drink. With the private access to the sea and the peaceful outdoor space, the place truly felt like an oasis. One downside was the noisy street, especially during weekend nights – something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to sound. We also really appreciated the free parking on the street – we were always able to find a spot nearby without any trouble. Salvatore was a great host: very friendly and helpful. His local tips were excellent – especially the restaurant recommendations, which were spot on! He also has a dog who is very friendly, though it did bark occasionally. All in all, a great place to stay that we would definitely recommend.

Isola Bella Infinity Suite Sunrise
We really enjoyed two bedroom apartment with clean bathrooms and kitchen! Francesco was very helpful with recommendations of the restaurants, shops and attractions . We had a beautiful balcony with sea view where we had breakfast every morning, great parking just next to the our building. We were able to walk to the downtown but it is not an easy walk. Francesco gave us instructions how to get to the public parking by the car and that was very helpful.

NAUSICAA monolocale Lipari
Great place especially for the price. Equipped with everything you need. The room is a bit dark dark, but with a nice balcony. The apartment is surrounded by neighbors so don't expect it to be completely quiet all the time (thin walls). The communication with the host Margherita was easy and pleasant. All in all a convenient affordable place to spend the vacation.

Alema apartment Giardini Naxos
Beautiful apartment, very clean with modern furnishings and everything felt new. The air con was the super quiet, you would never know it was on! Emanuele was the best host we have ever experienced and great with local info and restaurant recommendations as well as being so helpful and accommodating. The apartment was very central with lots of choice of bars and restaurants just a few minutes away - Italinicius has the best pizza we have ever tasted and worth a visit. Also La Cambusa has excellent food in a beautiful setting on the beach. The bus service is good although we walked along to the train station for a few early morning trains to Messina & Syracuse (its about a 25 minute walk from the apartment). We stayed here for 2 weeks and can highly recommend Emanuele's apartment for great amenities and the central location. 100% 5 stars!

Milazzo : La terrazza sul mare
Un logement spacieux et très agréable, avec une belle terrasse sur la mer. Idéal pour les amoureux de la mer et de la baignade avec un accès facile à pied au centre-ville, à ses commerces et restaurants ainsi qu’au port. Nous y avons passé un très agréable séjour, je recommande.

Iodalmare casa vacanza Stazzo Acireale
The apartment is beautiful, exactly like the pictures, very contemporary with a balcony overlooking the sea at the front and a view of mount Etna at the back. The town, Stazzo, is a small Sicilian fishing village with few tourists. Although we don’t speak Italian, we were welcomed and found it to be a very friendly neighborhood with neighbours meeting on the seafront, passing the time of day with each other. It was lovely to see. When we were there the beaches were just starting to be converted for the summer season with wooden platforms being installed over the rocks but we were happy to swim and sunbathe on the many flat areas carved out on the rocks. All in all, it was a great base to explore the region, you will need a car but you can park right on front of the house, no problem.

Casa con vista sull'Etna a 200 mt dal mare
Cettina et Roberto sont des hôtes très prévenants, une corbeille de produits locaux nous attendait, avons beaucoup apprécié ce geste. La maison à la décoration typiquement sicilienne est très bien équipée, literie très confortable et propre. Ce qui fait le charme essentiel de cette location est la vue sur l'Etna avec en 1er plan un champ de citronniers. Le voisinage est calme, et le parking couvert assez grand et permet de garder la voiture au frais, très appréciable. Les commerces de proximité pain, viande fruits et légumes à moins de 10 mn à pied. Nous conseillons vivement.
