Villa vacation rentals in Messina

This is the most beautiful villa: well maintained, wonderful hosts, fully stocked with most everything you would need. The location is very good for exploring this part of the island and the views of the sea on one side, and Etna on the other is really remarkable. The hot tub and pool are amazing and the space is very well organized with large rooms and plenty of common areas.

A beautiful villa with old-world charm yet modern feeling. Amazing views of both the ocean and Etna. Well maintained gardens and grounds, with a lovely pool and sitting area. Pino and Viviana were always quick to respond and helpful. Truly a special place

The villa is beautiful and even more beautiful than in the photos. Very large, spaces for everyone's privacy (we were 3 couples and 1 solo adult + 4 teenagers), a beautiful pool, well equipped. Maria Louisa and Carlo are very proactive, always attentive and available. The villa is quiet, 10 minutes walk to the black sand beach and 20 minutes to the port. Carlo picked us up and helped us down the suitcases. Vulcano is very pleasant and unspoiled.

This was a beautiful and peaceful place to stay with amazing views over the sea-stunning. There are lovely terraces to relax on and to enjoy the peace and tranquillity and views.The house is very comfortable with plenty of space for our group of five adults. All the bedrooms were comfortable with lovely crisp cotton bedding and the kitchen was well equipped.The beach is a 15 minute quite steep walk away and is very secluded with good swimming. Mariagrazia was there to welcome us and our luggage was transported down quite a steep track to the house. She was incredibly helpful throughout our stay and always very quick to respond-thank you! She was especially helpful on the last day when our ferry transport was disrupted by bad weather. We would highly recommend this as a place to stay-it was hard to leave!

We couldn’t recommend this place more! Exceptional value for money with an unforgettable view that has to be seen to be believed. The house itself is modest but spotlessly clean and very private. Reaching it at night can be a bit tricky due to the narrow roads—prepare for some adventurous driving! Accessing Taormina is convenient if you're up for a bit of exercise: either walk about 240 steps or take a 20-minute drive. This worked well for us, and even the kids enjoyed the walk. Martina’s local recommendations were fantastic. After trying all her suggestions, I can assure you they really made our stay memorable.

Thanks Giovanni for a great stay! The kids and we loved this house right by the beach! In October the climate is very pleasant, the water of the sea is relatively warm and of absolute clarity, and being able to enjoy this from the house is extraordinary! The house is large, well-equipped, clean, and Giovanni and his family available to attend. Thanks to them.

We traveled as a family of four with a 6 year old and 1 year old. This place was perfect and beyond. Louisa had baby chair, toys, cleaning and laundry service, and even helped us get a baby carrier! Literally, look no further and book this place.

A+++ perfect location very peaceful stay

What a lovely property to fit a large family. About 20 mins to Taormina, you find yourself removed from the tourists and able to enjoy this beautiful house and outdoor space. We arranged for a chef to come and cook at the house for us and was a very memorable experience. Thanks so much and will stay again!

Everything was extremely lovely, we had the best time (maybe too good) at the villa. Our cell signal was not always good, but that was kind of a plus for this vacation. Our group of eleven Americans was very comfortable and Cristina and the team at the property were so accommodating and understanding. I can’t rate this place high enough, you will not regret your stay here.

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.

I cannot emphasize how amazing our experience was in Taormina. I would stay again anytime! The view of Mt. Etna from the roof terrace was amazing. Mike and his communication team (Roberto) helped us schedule friendly and reliable transportation on multiple occasions and a boat tour. highly recommend !

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.

Villa Lou is stunning. In a peaceful area, doesnt have any noise. We woke upto birds chirping with amazing views daily. The place was reasonably stocked. There are stairs inside the property, shortest access to the main street of Taormina also has stairs- toddlers and seniors need to be aware (but this true for most of taormina places) Lou gave us restaurant recommendations and was super easy to reach- we loved it and would love to stay here again!

A very nice place to stay even in November if you can't use the pool due to the temperature, the view and the building is definitely worth a trip! The hostess is helpful and friendly and even brought us cake and limonchello. For our dog it was also great with garden I would come again!

Lovely Airbnb in a private compound. Walkable to the little village of Santa Tecla and to a Hotel with a nice Lido. Paolo was a great host and very responsive throughout the stay.

The house is just beautiful with great views of the sea and coast as far as Taormina and the mainland's boot tip. The sunrises are fairytale. The garden is beautifully landscaped and we were also very pleased about hammock and ping pong table. The lava stone and wood are a great combination on the outside and inside. There are very comfortable seating and beds as well as insect repellent on doors and windows. Etna Park, Taormina and Catania are easily accessible. Andrea is a great, very attentive and friendly host who gave us lots of good tips.

Antonino's place in Santa Teresa di Riva was very modern, clean and has everything you need for a stay in Sicily. He was very welcoming and accommodating with check in and check out times, and cooked us a bbq with an assortment of meats, vegetables and fruit from his garden and bruschetta. He even helped me with a minor health issue during our stay since he is a doctor. We were very appreciative. He stays on the first floor and guests stay on the second floor. The property is gated and feels very safe. Also, the view is gorgeous!! We highly recommend Antonino's place!!

Carla’s place is a gem in paradise.

Amazing house and super kind owner! You can feel it’s very relaxing, clean and great place to rest. Indeed, you probably cannot get here without a car, and the road is quite challenging. But the house is rewarding you as soon as you open the gate :) I recommend 100%

Spacious appartement with a nice outside terrace. Great place for a stay in the area of Catania and surroundings.

We spent a 10 day vacation here as a group of friends. Already upon arrival we were overwhelmed by the beauty of property and surroundings: located in the beautiful lemon grove overlooking the slopes of Mount Etna and the sea. It couldn't get any better! Boredom never arose, the area offers a lot! However, a car is important. There was also always something to do on the property: beautiful pool, ping pong table, foosball, football or cooking in the great kitchen... and always fresh lemons. Maria Gulia and Angelo are super friendly and often helped us with tips and quick answers. The villa is an absolute recommendation!!
