Villa holiday rentals in Santa Venerina

Villa Gorna is an amazing location with fantastic hosts. The property is as described and photos are accurate. A lot of care was taken to put nice extra features. Orazio was very responsive and helpful, with offers available for tours etc. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend.

Schitterend huis! Prachtig gelegen,zicht op zee en etna. Tip top uitgerust met alles wat je nodig hebt. Uitstekende uitvalsbasis voor taormino,alcantara,etna,castelmola etc We hadden gerust nog een paar weken extra willen blijven.

Nunzio was incredibly friendly and helpful! The house is beautiful and the location is amazing. The road to get there is a little rough but once you arrive you are greeted by 4 lovely cats and Bianca the dog. Everything went smoothly and Nunzio was always ready to help with whatever was necessary and gave lots of recommendations. Would recommend everyone to travel inwards instead of just staying along the coast and visit this place!

Our stay at Simona's Sicilian farmhouse was simply perfect. The beautiful house and its serene setting offered ultimate comfort and everything we needed for a truly relaxing break. I adored cooking in the traditional kitchen, unwinding on the balconies with stunning sunsets, lounging by the pool, and strolling through the orange groves. Time seemed to slow down, providing the much-needed escape we craved. Simona was an exceptional host – the most helpful and personable we've encountered, always there when we needed her. We only wish we could have stayed longer! I wholeheartedly recommend this charming farmhouse for anyone seeking a genuine, tranquil base to explore authentic Sicily.

Apartamento excelente, con un encanto especial. Nos hemos sentido muy a gusto en los 4 días que hemos estado. Es una maravilla levantarte por la mañana y tener esas vistas del mar y del Etna. Es tal y como aparece en las fotografias Está en una urbanizacion privada, con puerta con guarda, por lo que nos ha parecido muy seguro. Tienes supermercados y restaurantes en 10-15min en coche en Brucoli o Augusta. Es un buen sitio desde donde ir a ver Siracusa, Catania, Noto, etc El apartamento tiene todo lo necesario para hacer una estancia agradable. La atencion de Andrea ha sido muy cordial desde el principio y nos recibió de maravilla Curioso que hay un bunker de la 2ª guerra mundial en el camino que lleva hacia las rocas, donde, con cuidado, porque hay erizos, te puedes dar un buen baño. Hay tambien una playa de piedras a 3-4 minutos andando La pena ha sido no poder quedarnos mas días!! muy recomendable

This place is a dream! It really is beyond beautiful. A traditional Sicilian villa, which has been lovingly taken care of and feels like a family treasure. The garden is incredible, with lots of beautiful flowers and fruit trees, and potted plants all along the walls and balcony. And the views are amazing! From the kitchen and the upstairs terrace you can see the Etna, but from all of the windows the sights are just beautiful. Giovanni is the best host, very friendly and has lots of great recommendations for the area, for sightseeing and food 🥰 I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Vi havde et fantastisk ophold i Francias smukke og autentiske hus. Her var rent og behageligt. Fra terrassen som vi benyttede meget, var der en fantastisk udsigt fra Messina strædet mod Catania. Vi havde fantastisk smuk natteunderholdning af både ugler og Etna. Hvis vi igen komme til Sicilien vil vi bestemt besøge Francicas hus.

Vi havde et rigtig godt ophold. Jacqueline svarede altid rigtig hurtigt og lejligheden var renlig og ryddelig. Flot udsigt til Etna og let at komme rundt til omkringliggende byer i bil.

My husband is in a wheelchair and Maria went out of her way to rent a wheelchair for our stay. The villa looked better in person than in the pictures. Everything was clean and the kitchen well stocked, including a juicer for fresh orange juice.

Without hesitation, I can say this was one of the most amazing stays/experiences I've ever had while traveling. There were eleven of us including children and the villa was absolutely perfect for our week-long holiday in Sicily. First of all, communication with the host was flawless and the hospitality was first class. The keyholder went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home, and we received little treats nearly everyday which only added to our satisfaction. If there was an issue, the keyholder made sure it was immediately taken care of without question. Regarding the villa, it is spectacular! You can get lost in it while exploring the hallways and towers -- the kids thought they were living in a real castle. While it's not in pristine condition, the little imperfections add to the homely feel of the place. The infinity pool and pool bar are also highlights of the villa, and they're perfect for lazy afternoons and enjoying the views of Mt. Etna and surrounding countryside.

This was the most magical Airbnb experience ever. Guiseppe and Giulia are the most hospitable Hosts I have ever come into contact with. They went above and beyond to make our stay the best. The villa is incredible with massive outdoor grounds to enjoy and a very beautiful large deep clean pool. Inside the villa is exactly as described but better! They were gracious and filled the fridges with many drinks to enjoy. They met us at the toll booth and escorted us to the villa and then drove us around town later to familiarize ourselves to the area and provided many dining recommendations. They were even so kind as to make reservations under their family name and deliver the most amazing desserts I have ever had! The location of the villa is perfect for day trips to Savoca and Taormina and surrounding areas. To have such a beautiful peaceful villa to return to made this our own slice of heaven! I would return in a heart beat. Thank you Giuseppe and Giulia for the most amazing stay.

My family and I stayed at Villa Vittorianna for a week in June. The property is beautiful, with panoramic views of Giardini Naxos, the Adriatic Sea + Taormina (from the pool) and Mt. Etna (from the rooftop deck). The surrounding neighborhood had easy access to many excellent restaurants, cafes and beach clubs. Emanuele was a great host and Oli, the local property manager was extremely friendly and responsive. I recommend this stay for anyone looking for a luxurious beach getaway in Sicily. We will remember this week for years to come.

The villa was above and beyond what we imagined! The pictures do not do it justice! The hosts went above and beyond to welcome us into their own, helping us with every need and question. The included breakfasts were fantastic and we had the villa owner cook for us one night served by the pool and it was by far one of the best meals we had in all of Italy. The pool was such a special treat each evening after our day visiting Mt Etna (super close to access) or around town. We would highly recommend this place as it’s spacious (we had 8 and there was extra room) and the hosts really went above and beyond to help us with every need! The only downside we had was that we only stayed for 2 nights! We will return to Sicily just to stay at this villa again! Va bene! Grazie mille!

A great home away from home for the Christmas Holiday. The kitchen was amazing and allowed for us to make all our traditional Christmas dishes. Furthermore, the living room was cozy. The couch was perfect and allowed multiple people to curl up and watch Christmas movies. Additionally, the gaming room provided much needed space for board games, karaoke, puzzles, and reading. The house was immaculate, and our host was absolutely wonderful. We showed up late the first evening and our host made traditional Sicilian delicacies for us to eat. The arancini were delicious. I would 100% come back, especially in the summer so I can enjoy their beautiful pool. 100% recommend.

This house was one of the most amazing places I've ever stayed. We went for a week and a half on a family trip, and it could not have been more incredible. Somehow, the grounds are even more lush and beautiful and spacious than the photos make them look. Incredible views of Mt. Etna and innumerable spots for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Our manager of the property was more like a concierge. Gianluca was more welcoming and helpful than anyone I've encountered in years renting Airbnb places. We will surely be back and can't recommend it highly enough for anyone checking it out!

Sandra was amazing. Very responsive and friendly. The place was perfect. 3 nice sized bedrooms each with their own bathroom. Nice living/dining space and nicely appointed kitchen area. Outdoor balcony was the perfect spot for breakfast with a stunning view. The pool was the star of the show, complete with lounge and bar area, bathroom and outdoor shower. Overall a perfect spot to anchor yourself as you explore the region.

Lovely house tucked away behind the bustling main street in beautiful Taormina. It is very close to a number of restaurants and eateries, yet is private and peaceful. Livio was a very attentive host, giving us many excellent recommendations and offering us the opportunity to leave our bags at the house to fit in with our arrival and departure. Highly recommend!

Beautiful stay in Aci Catena. The space comfortably accommodated all four of us and the beds were one of the most comfortable of our whole trip. The outdoor area was amazing with the pool surrounded by many olive, lemon and peach trees. Daria was very willing to help with every question we had and made many recommendations throughout our stay. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a quaint stay, yet so close to everything.

Beautiful home! If you are staying in Catania and visiting surrounding areas, Isabella’s home is perfect. This was a quiet, private, spacious oasis of a property in the middle of the busy city life. Centrally located to visit the key attractions. Isabella was the perfect hostess! She went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed in their family home that has been in their family for generations. This home was great for our family of 6 and had enough space for everyone to spread out. The grounds and pool are beautiful. Isabella organized a traditional Sicilian meal to be cooked as well as a fun pizza night utilizing the authentic pizza oven. Isabella is a perfect hostess and provided us great information including a boat tour which was the best. What a lovely, and welcoming property!

Lella, the lady who helped us with check in and anything we needed during our stay was absolutely fantastic. She was so helpful throughout, gave us such a lovely welcome and loads of recommendations of places to see and eat. The Airbnb itself was amazing, it was really clean and much bigger than expected. It’s a little bit of a walk into the town but still very much doable. The whole place was fantastic and made our trip perfect!!

Giovanni’s place is very nice and well-appointed. Giovanni and his wife Jenny were very prompt in helping us with some issues we had at home. I strongly recommend this place but preferably during the spring/summer season.

Unser Aufenthalt war einfach fantastisch! Die Unterkunft war makellos sauber und sehr gepflegt – wir haben uns sofort wie zu Hause gefühlt. Der Ausblick auf das Meer und den majestätischen Ätna ist atemberaubend und bleibt unvergesslich. Ein besonderes Highlight war der große, wunderschöne Pool – perfekt zum Entspannen und Genießen der herrlichen Umgebung. Die Gastgeberin war jederzeit erreichbar, äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist traumhaft – ruhig und idyllisch, aber dennoch gut erreichbar. Wir kommen ganz bestimmt wieder und können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen. Vielen Dank für diese wundervolle Zeit!🫶

It would take more than five stars to do right to our experience with Villa Artemis. So far we always had good experiences with the accomedations we booked via AirBnB, but Villa Artemis totally exceeded our already high expectations. It was simply perfect. The house is spacious, tastefully decorated, and with no less than two living/dining rooms and two bathrooms. Outside the house there is are plenty of places to sit and relax with wonderfull views on both the sea and the Etna. The house is clean and well equiped. Everything you need for a great and carefree holliday is there. This review wouldn't be complete however if I didn't mention the family that hosts the place. Francesco, Giovanna, Antionio and Valeria were very kind, always willing to assist. They helped us out more than once. We are really happy to have met them, and hope to meet again.

Wow what an incredible villa! The photos don’t do villa Stefania justice. The house is beautiful with stunning views over the sea and Etna on one side, and a beautifully kept garden and amazing pool on the other. The bedrooms and bathrooms are a very good size and the open plan kitchen, dining and living room are beautifully decorated. We hadn’t planned to spend much time just at the villa, but ended up spending three days out of our 10 day stay just enjoying the pool and tranquil surroundings. The villa is ideally located for sightseeing with Siracusa, Noto, Taormina and Catania within easy reach. But the villa itself is off the beaten track and therefore doesn’t feel touristy or crowded at all. Indeed, most of the local restaurants and bakeries are mainly frequented by locals. Giuseppe is a wonderful host, always quick to respond and incredibly helpful. The villa was perfect for a stay with small children and alongside some toys and kid’s furniture, there is a playground!
