Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Zafferana Etnea

We had a great stay in Tina’s place. Tina was always very helpful and very quick to respond to requests. The place is really peaceful and beautiful. To sit outside and listen to nightingales singing, scops owls calling at night and many more birds was fantastic. The only other noise was the bells on the cows as they came past the house to go for a drink. The flowers along the tracks are gorgeous. The place has a fantastic ambience. A wonderful relaxing retreat. Wish we had been able to stay longer.

The accommodation is cozy and invites you to relax. The surroundings are quiet and the view is awesome. However, it is recommended to have a car on site as shopping facilities are limited in the small village of Puntalazzo. The next major city (Giarre) is about 20 minutes by car, but that's perfectly fine. The parking facilities directly in front of the house can be challenging depending on the car as it is a bit angled. However, there is a parking lot 1 minute away. Orazio is a great host, he is quick to respond and gives good recommendations for the area and restaurants. He is extremely interested in enriching the stay and is always easily accessible🤩 Absolutely top. 👍

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 ;)

we are out of time in Montalbano and at Antonina's, we only feel peace, wonder and serenity

Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your wonderful house. Everything was excellent! A secluded quiet place for a relaxing holiday and to see Sicily! It's a special pleasure to watch the eruption of Etna!!! It's unforgettable! Ciao!!!

Alessandra and her husband met us at check-in. We got in late 10:00 pm, they saved us from a very long journey with food! They are so accommodating and thoughtful 💕 The house is everything you could ask for. We utilized all 3 outside areas everyday. The front for breakfast and sunrise, the back for the grill, which we used alot, and the fabulous rooftop for dinner and cocktails. The private neighborhood is filled with gorgeous homes/villas. We drove everywhere from up north, to down south, even to Palermo, all about 2-2 1/2 hours from the house. Evenings are quiet, only the sounds of the 🌊 sea. We will definitely be back. Much ❤️ Alessandra.

Vincenzo’s place was absolutely perfect for what we needed. It was completely spotless which was great with our 1 year old boy. Would definitely recommend, and there was nothing I would change about our stay there.

A huge, well-kept house in a phenomenal natural setting.

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.

Very good stay. perfect location to visit the east of Sicily.

A beautiful and cozy flat with a spacious courtyeard and garden. Located in a quiet small town just a short drive from Taormina, it allows us to renjoy quitness and relax from the crowds while still being close to nearby towns and cities. Salvo is a friendly and accommodating host, providing clear, detailed instructions and recommendations. Quick response to all our questions and kindly arranged an early check-in to accommodate our travel schedule.

Wonderful house and location! We loved it here. The house has a lot of beautiful furniture, as well as an open terrace with a great view. The host Franco was so very kind, gave us many recommendations on local beaches and cafes

This is a spacious airbnb with a wonderful view of Mt Etna. 5 minute drive to the local jeep tours of Mt Etna. Local grocery store just down the street. Comfortable beds. Would definitely come stay here again next time we visit and bring more family to enjoy the space and view!

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!

Had a wonderful stay, perfect!

I stayed at Francesca's place for a week. The house is in a perfect location, very close to lidl, supermarkets and shopping centers. Just 10 minutes by car from the center of Catania (for the type of trip I had in mind it was a perfect house) plus it is slightly raised on a hill, and on the warm days of August we had the pleasure of breathing some fresh air! 15 minutes from the house are also beautiful sea areas (such as "the caves of Ulysses"). Francesca is very helpful and open to dialogue! Overall a positive experience!!

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.

This was our first visit to Sicily. We were a group of 8 with 3 families. We had plenty of space & privacy. The home is truly as beautiful as the photos & is like a step back in time. Maria is an amazing artist who added her special touches all over the home This was Francesco’s grandfathers home built in the late 1800’s. The backyard overlooks the town below & the ocean w Mt Etna on the other side. Magnificent! The added bonus of Rosaria’s services made us feel incredibly pampered. Her services are an additional fee but are very well worth it. She cooked 2 amazing meals for us (her chicken cacciatore is the absolute best!). She also helped secure a restaurant reservation & transportation. Note that a driver or rental car is a must. Unless you are fluent in Italian you will need translation apps. Truly a lifesaver as Sicilians often do not speak English. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever fortunate enough to visit the beautiful island of Sicily.

Marco’s villa was just what we needed. We were two elderly couples, with lots of traveling experience. We needed a place with two bedrooms and two baths, and this villa fit the bill. Outside, the neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. It was only a couple of minutes drive from the center of town. The villa had a beautiful garden around it, which made it peaceful. The villa was clean and comfortable, and gave us space when and where we needed it. The kitchen was fully operational but we only needed the basics, which Marco had provided. All in all an outstanding experience.

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 was an unforgettable experience. The location was stunning. It was a real pleasure to stay there. The people who welcomed us were incredibly kind. Everything was very clean. The hosts kept checking in to make sure we were doing well and helped us with all our questions. We are truly grateful for this experience. We highly recommend this place to everyone.

Stay here if you are in Taormina! Louisa could not have been more helpful and kind to us during our week there. Her place is beautiful and peaceful and only a very short walk to the center of town. It was spotlessly clean and spacious with a gorgeous garden and old Roman tomb that our kids were fascinated by. We will definitely stay there again if we find ourselves in Taormina!

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.

Our group of 4 couples thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mara's house. There was plenty of room for all of us and the outdoor spaces were truly amazing. The kitchen is on the small side but we had no problems cooking meals for eight. We took the short drive into Santa Venerina for groceries and a couple of meals. The streets were not as narrow as some Italian villages. The best part of the stay was Mara herself! She is so helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.
