Villa vacation rentals in Villa Petrosa

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

What a villa… and what incredible hosts! We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful estate, it’s MASSIVE with spectacular spaces to relax & enjoy the views of Etna. Our hosts went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, with breakfast treats, restaurant recommendations etc. Would 100% recommend.

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.

Vincenzo is an amazing host that is managing an amazing place. Vincenzo was very helpful in providing lots of information about the place. He welcomed us with a list of places to shop from and visit. Within a 10 mins driving range you have an amazing butcher, great wine shop, fish shop restaurants and all other amenities. The house is amazing very well equipped that makes you feel like home.. including BBq, wood burning fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, very warm and modern design. The garden area and the terrace are were we spent most time, Surrounded by Sicilian country side with views extending from the Etna to Taormina and extend over the Mediterranean. Well done Vincenzo.. we will be back

The villa is amazing. On the edge of the see. An old, authentic house with history, we felt like home. Everything we needed was in the house. We where 2 couples with 2 toddlers. A huge outdoor area, space for 2 cars, private yard. Outside the territory- an amazing view of Etna. Grazie, Enrico!

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.

The villa was simply stunning! We had the best, most relaxing time. The view was so pretty and special! Sandra was a great host, who made us feel welcome and safe. She replied quickly, and made sure the trip was comfortable for us. The perfect location to explore both Catania, Taormina and other cities nearby. We would 100% recommend. The hairdryer was a big plus! Also all the windows and doors had mosquito netting! Every bedroom had its own bathroom, which was much appreciated (we were 3 married couples). All in all a great experience! Again, 100% recommend❤️

This villa is not a modern hotel but a grand estate reminiscent of the aristocracy of Italy; private, but living within the culture of the surrounding area. The grounds are lush and gated with a very large swimming pool. A car is necessary to get to other cities and/or bus stops/train stations. The GPS on our personal phones was excellent and useful in traveling around Sicily. Our hosts, Francesco and Maria, were warm and genteel. They live on the premises next to the villa so access to their assistance and advice was always available via phone, AirBNB and What's App. The beds are antique and amazingly comfortable - a recommendation would be to have additional pillows available for those who may not be back sleepers. We had 7 women from our bookclub back home and it sleeps 13 so there is plenty of space for a larger group. We would stay at the villa again if we do go back to Sicily. We had a great time!!!!

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.

Excellent stay in a peaceful village close to Mount Etna and wine country

We had a very nice trip to Sicily and Salvo's house. Salvo organized airport pickup and gave us great tips for a week with Mascali as a base. Mascali is not a tourist trap, and is a bit away from major sights, so a rental car I would say is a must. The house accommodates many and it is easy to be social or retreat a bit if one will be left alone. We traveled as an extended family of 11 people, aged 11 to 70. Everyone has had a fantastic time, with everything from day trip to Palermo for football game to mountain hike on Etna, Syracusa and nice Taormina. Tip: Buy mosquito repellent if you want to be out late in the evenings or have the window upstairs in the bedroom at night :-)

Amazing stay in a perfect villa with the BEST hosts! Isabella was so communicative, very helpful with recommendations ( including local arancini festival) and flexible with check in/out. Villa was great and she also arranged for a pizza chef to come in one night and cook some amazing pizzas. We did have 2 cars and used them every day as not much is walking distance, but Villa is very well located for trips to beach, Taormina, suracuse & Etna … and in such a lovely Villa we had little reason to leave! Thanks again and hope to stay again soon 😀

Amazing Views, Spacious Home, Great Host! We recently spent a month at Concetto's place, and it was a wonderful experience overall. Concetto was incredibly responsive and professional, always available when needed. The home itself was very clean and spacious, offering more than enough room for our family. The view from the house is absolutely stunning, and the pool was sparkling clean with a perfect water temperature — great for both relaxing and swimming. However, there are a few things future guests might want to know. There is no dryer, just a drying rack, which worked fine for us but may require planning for longer stays. Additionally, there’s no outdoor grill or usable outdoor kitchen, which would have been nice to have. Also, keep in mind that walking to the main streets can be tricky. The driveway is very steep and windy, and even after reaching the bottom, there’s another steep hill to tackle. Despite these minor inconveniences, we had an amazing stay!

A Beautiful View on Giarre! The host was very nice and always responded quickly. Not only did he welcome us personally, but also made a perfect sicilian pizza for us in the pizzaofen! Alberto helped with all our questions, had many tips on the things to see and even helped with reservations. We have gathered absolutely lovely memories and send many greetings from germany!

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!

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 located in a truly peaceful and relaxing place, with lemon trees and olive trees around; the house is very beautiful and lovely, with lovely flowers around the garden, and smell really good. Vanessa and her family are very kind and nice, provided us everything we need. It's easy to drive to so many nice restaurants nearby, and very close to several towns and cities. We had a wonderful week here!

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.

We spent a wonderful week in Giuseppe's apartment. We were two people with a puppy. The house is in a very quiet area of Mascali and to reach nearby towns such as Taormina, Catania, Syracuse is perfect. You can reach the beach on foot. The house was very clean and equipped. So thanks to Giuseppe and his mom Graziella, very helpful.

Just perfect! Beautiful villa with stunning views of the sea. Great service from our host. We loved it!

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%

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!!

Nice large house with space for a big group or family. Beautiful views of Catania. Good as a base for exploring the region of Etna and Catania.
