Beachfront holiday rentals in Acquaviva Platani

We had a wonderful holiday in Giuseppe's apartment. There were 2 cots for our children of 1 and 2 years old and the apartment was very suitable for small children. The private parking space directly on the terrace of the apartment was also very convenient when one of the children fell asleep in the car and could take a nice nap in the car while we still had a view of them from our terrace. We'd love to come back.

We felt right at home at Chiara’s place. The house is beautiful with everything you need, but it’s all about the surroundings- that view! The wonderful sandy beach is an about 10 a minute steep but very do-able walk. It felt like we were at the end of the earth, in the best possible way. When we went at the end of April the restaurants on the beach (and they are right on the beach) were open but the sunbeds weren’t out and it felt so beautifully wild (but with the joy of being able to sit and have a drink or a meal right there). It’s such a big beach and the few small restaurants don’t impact the view so I think it would feel the same even in peak season. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back!

We had a beautiful time in the apartment - we loved the views and the kitchen was well equipped for homemade meals! It was a shame we had to take our rubbish so far, and some surfaces in the kitchen didn’t feel clean. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay!

Giovanni's space is a real gem. The property has lots of outdoor space with lots of wonderful different fruits, flowers and cactuses. Giovanni himself is very friendly with lots of helpful tips and useful information. Our kids loved not only exploring and searching for small wildlife, but the beach is only footsteps away.

Wonderful - Ideal for a couple. We were greeted by Ileana’s lovely father, Gaetano who made sure we had everything we needed and left a cold bottle of local white wine in the fridge for us. The place is perfect - close enough to everything, yet quiet and peaceful, away from the crowds. The apartment is a really pleasant space to just hang out in too. The June temperatures were divine, and you can make the most of the cool sea breeze with so many windows looking out across different picture postcard views. At night the ceiling fan worked really well and we both slept extremely well in the comfy bed. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

I’m almost at a loss of where to begin with how much my family and I enjoyed Diego’s incredible accommodation and hospitality! As a beach fanatic, this was the perfect location to enjoy a private and gorgeous location on the Mediterranean. No picture can do justice to the jaw-dropping water and the hours I happily spent wandering the coastline. Others have mentioned the generous spread of local treats Diego and his family provided - I can not overstate how helpful and welcome this was throughout our stay. Because of this, we were able to enjoy home cooked meals most nights; not because we were intending to be frugal (we are vacationing after all!), but because the items he provided were just that copious and delicious. The property grounds are lush and pristine, the bedrooms comfortable, clean and well-appointed, and the craftsmanship of the home is gorgeous. Most importantly perhaps, Diego and his family made US feel like family. Responsive, warm & a true taste of hospitality.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment is very nice and from the balcony you have a great view of the sea. The apartment is very large and has everything you need. The landlords are very nice and accommodating.

Carlo's accommodation was very quiet with a beautiful view of the sea. The check-in with Carlos' mother was very warm and uncomplicated despite language barriers (on both sides). All rooms are super clean and the kitchen is well equipped. Unfortunately, there is no AC for the bedroom(s), which is why it can get very warm in warmer temperatures. The terrace is shared with Carlos' uncle Alfredo, who is only outside for a few minutes a day. Alfredo is good at German, is very likeable and always up for a chat. He was never there overnight. The surroundings are beautiful, but not very touristy, which is why it is recommended to book a rental car and learn a word or two of Italian.

We enjoyed our stay. thank you!

Antonio and Laura's airbnb was absolutely superb. We were given instructions to first meet in Balestrate town and from there we were guided to Antonio's home which was a nice touch. We arrived and the photos do not do it justice. What a spectacular view and so peaceful despite being about 1km above the main town. The hot tub with that view was stunning. And the complimentary wine was such a lovely touch. We had everything we needed, fresh towels, cutlery, washing up utensils etc. Antonio was a wonderful host. He gave us some great recommendations for our travels. He recommended La Vucciria in Palermo, the Erice-Trapani cable car, San Vito Lo Capo beach which were all within 60/90 mins of the house. It was a perfect location. He also recommended Scala de Turchi (which was on our way to our next airbnb destination). All of these suggestions were incredible. Not only that Antonio gave us fresh lemons from his garden and some pastries. A real gentleman. Thank You.

We had a wonderfull time at Guiseppe’s place! We really enjoyed the pool and the appartement felt right at home!

What a magical place in beautiful Sicily this is! We had an amazing stay and spent a good amount of time at the Villa as it’s a wonderful place to be. The outside environment is superb, so tranquil and peaceful. The pool was perfect for hot days and we spent a lot of time being competitive on the table tennis table. The short walk to a stunning private beach was a huge bonus. The villa is a short drive from the beautiful town of Cefalu which is a must to visit. I would 100% recommend Salvatore’s place to anyone looking for a a peaceful stay in Sicily.

Andrea and Guiseppe are super friendly hosts who were always easily accessible and interested in the well-being of their guests. We had a great time and would love to come back.

100/10 the house was so beautiful and looked just like the photos. The pool was clean and amazing with rafts and a diving board. Air conditioning inside the house, beautiful garden and lots of outside space to sit and enjoy. Emanuele was super responsive and helpful every time we needed anything. His father and mother met us at the house for check in and were super lovely!! They set up a surprise of snacks and treats and made us feel like family. They also gave us some local recommendations and had waters and coffee at the house. Everything you need is right at the house and the grocery store is 5 minute drive away.

Very good welcome from Giorgio, the house as well as the exteriors are very good. The view is superb and the accommodation is very close to the beach. The two small downsides are the unheated pool (in May it's cold but in summer I think it shouldn't be a problem) and the accommodation is not completely private. We were not affected for our stay because the owner was not present but the house is separated into two parts and the owners can be present during your stay. Specifying this can avoid disappointment upon arrival... On the other hand, in terms of cleanliness, amenities and location, there is nothing to say, it was perfect.

The views were absolutely breath taking.. just stunning! The landscape was gorgeous!! The apartment was clean and had all the essentials.. the host was very helpful and friendly! I 1000% recommend this beautiful place!

Rosellina’s property is truly magical! I cannot say enough positive things about it. Rosellina and her husband are absolutely wonderful and we were welcomed with a delicious lunch and thoughtful treats and touches. This is such a loved and authentic home in one of the most breathtaking locations. We spent a lot of time swimming and snorkelling. The neighbours are their relatives and very friendly and welcoming. It was delightful. It is true that pictures simply can’t do it justice. They have everything you will need and it is was very well-kept, clean, and organised. The mosquitos in Sicily are not to be underestimated! They supply everything you will need though which was very considerate. There are stairs down to the house which was not an issue for us at all and nice because you don’t get any road noise. Parking is off the main road so you’ll need to get comfortable with Sicilian driving! It is more than worth it. You will be lucky if you can be Rosellina’s guests!

Beautiful private location walkable to beautiful beach location

It was a perfect stay, the apartment is huge, especially for two persons...it was fully equipped, every room is air-conditioned, and parking is easy and comfortable in the private car-park. Beach is really close, few minutes walk. Communication with host was good, but check-in and greeting are managed by Antonietta, the neighbour, who is the kindest person in the world...We would return for sure, definitely deserves the five stars!!

Perfect apartment for our stay in Cefalú! The space was pristine, the amenities were gracious and the location was perfectly central. We were very comfortable there for two nights. Thank you, Pietro and Andrea!

Gaetano was an excellent host! I requested a ride from the airport which I recommend. He suggested the beaches to see and was quick to respond to any questions I had. I highly recommend staying at this apt. I can’t wait to return!

Beautiful place, and Flora is a very lovely host!

A very beautiful flat in a beautiful location! Alessandra’s flat is perfectly situated in the main center with lots of shops, cafes, restaurants, and walking paths nearby. The sea is a very short walk and it’s delightful to spend your mornings soaking in the sun. We enjoyed the flat very much. A comfortable bed, great shower, and a bottle of wine were some of the highlights. Unlike most places, Alessandra even had a great blow dryer which was a welcome surprise. I would definitely stay again.

Lovely house right by the beach. Host is very friendly and forthcoming. Our 2nd stay and just as lovely!
