Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Avola

The villa is even better than pictured. The house was very clean & was decorated lovely inside. The outdoor areas & pools were gorgeous. Although we did find the pool got quite dirty over our weeks stay from bugs and debris, a pool cover might help with this. The hosts were incredibly helpful & were always on hand with fabulous recommendations for parking, restaurants etc. Definitely need a small car for the roads, especially the last one leading up to the villa. The only downside we did find was the rubbish disposal. We were reminded multiple times throughout the week to take all of our rubbish at the end of the stay to a local recycling centre. There are about 4 different recycling bins at the Villa so to have to take all of this in our small rental car to a recycling centre which is only open at certain times we found frustrating especially when paying a 150 euro cleaning fee. Apart from this the stay was pretty faultless and the villa & grounds were amazing.

We had the best time at Villa Antica Aia! Nobody believed that we are really going to stay in such a lovely, clean house with a beautiful garden, swimming pool, a please to cook and eat inside and outside. I don’t need to describe more because the villa looks exactly like on the pictures!! Oriana is the best host we’ve ever had, very kind, polite and always helpful. She welcomed us with apperitivo, showed us around, explained everything, was always available for us in case of questions where to find something. Thank you again and see you next year!

Marion’s house is the most beautiful air b&b that we have stayed in. The setting is magical, so private and peaceful, surrounded by nature and wildlife. The pool and garden area perfect for relaxing. The kitchen great for cooking, and there is a good, cheep supermarket in Vizzini. The outside dining area is lovely too. The living room is very big and luxurious, we enjoyed playing cards in here every evening. Bedrooms are nice, no air con but we found we didn’t need it. The bathroom has a lovely big walk in shower. It took a while to get used to the roads, a car is essential for this property and you have to take the driveway very carefully. Vizzini is a nice little town, we saw no tourists which was great! The 6 cats are a great addition, so sweet and entertaining. Syracuse Ortigia and Ragusa Ibla are great places to visit. Although we didn’t meet Marion we had contact whenever necessary and she couldn’t have been more helpful. Thankyou so much for the most memorable holiday!

The villa was absolutely beautiful and very well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the choice of outdoor areas and the pool. Sabrina was an extremely lovely and responsive host who made sure our stay was smooth. Arriving in Catania at 8am, we were able to do an early check-in which was much appreciated. Our children also appreciated the cats who came to say hi, it reminded us of ours :) We would definitely recommend Sabrina’s place.

Super Kommunikation und Wegbeschreibung. Sebastiano ist sehr hilfsbereit und flexibel. Bei der Ankunft hat er uns einen kostenlosen Parkplatz in unmittelbarer Nähe frei gehalten. Sehr schön hergerichtet Wohnung mit originellen und schönen Details. Super Tips für Restaurants und Unternehmungen. Super Lage, einfach alles perfekt. Danke.

Villa Vendicari is a slice of paradise in Sicily. The grounds are breathtaking. You are tucked away from any noise amongst gorgeous vegetation. The spaces are comfortable, beautiful, and thoughtfully laid out. The area had lots to explore in terms of walks, beaches, activities, and amazing food. We had THE BEST time and our only regret is we didn't book a longer stay. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Stunningly beautiful house, gardens and pool. The house is one of a kind with large windows that keep it cool at night and beautiful countryside views in each direction. Rabbits in the garden at 5am were a little highlight. I can only recommend this house, we felt very at home there and used it as a base to explore the surrounding beaches and just lounge by the private pool in the afternoon. The host was friendly and helpful. I honestly cant confirm any of the small niggles I have read in some previous reviews at all - everything was great and we would stay there again.

Giorgio’s house was exactly what we wanted for our Modica vacation. A touch of the Sicilian countryside not too far from town. It truly did become home for the time we were there. Cooking pizzas in the wood fire oven and daily soaks in the wellness center. We won’t soon forget this beautiful place. The amazing cherry on top was Giorgio’s amazing hospitality and desire to share his local favorites with us.

너무 아름다운 집입니다. 벽난로와 함께 최고의 휴식시간을 보냈습니다. 모든것이 완벽했습니다. 호스트 또한 너무 친절했습니다. 좋은 추억이 되었습니다. 근처에 온다면 다시 올 생각입니다.

The property was very comfortable, nicely furnished and felt very welcoming and homely. It is extremely well located near the centre of Ortigia and yet is both private and quiet. Everything (shops/restaurants) is within a short walking distance. Gisella provided lots of support and useful suggestions for our visit and Gianluca was there to greet us locally. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be very happy to return.

Natalia's villa was perfect for what my friends and I needed. It was centrally located and very safe. It was our first time visiting the area, our flight was delayed, and one suitcase did not arrive on time. Natalia and her sister, Marcella were very understanding. Marcella was so great! Making us feel welcomed on the spot. The villa is very spacious..More space than we 3 needed but perfect for spreading out after a day of sightseeing. The views are spectacular, the people, warm and friendly. There is a Lidl up the street from the villa where you can easily get anything you might need for your stay. The kitchen is very well equipped with full size fridge and anything you might need to prepare meals at home. We can not say enough about this lovely property. We will definately be back! Thank you, Natalia and Marcella!!

appartamento tradizionale molto carino con un terrazzo splendido e vista sul mare incantevole. Ortigia poi è una chicca.

Nous recommandons le logement de Catherine, il est accueillant, joliment décoré, avec une douche incroyable... l'environnement est calme. Il y a un rétroprojecteur avec netflix, c'était génial. Catherine est une hôte très agréable, commucative et intentionnée. Merci pour tout

One of the best places we have been.. The villa is super cozy and you feel right at home! Also, Federico is a great host, he was always responsive and helpful, and gave us useful recommendations on the dining and things to do in the area. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Hôte attentionné et agréable. Avons apprécié être accueillis à notre arrivée (plutôt qu'avec la boîte à clés). Corrado nous a fourni plein d'informations sur les possibilités de découverte aux alentours. Une adresse à recommander sans hésitation. Une des meilleures adresses.

Exactly as described. Easy walk to more restaurants and sites than one could do in a year. Ortigia is unreal ! We stayed 6 nights and wished we booked it for longer.

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in diesem schönen Ferienhaus auf Sizilien! Die Außenanlage ist wirklich ein kleines Paradies – eine grüne Oase mit viel Platz zum Entspannen, Spielen und natürlich dem tollen Pool, den wir alle sehr genossen haben. Unsere Kinder waren begeistert, und auch wir Erwachsenen konnten herrlich abschalten. Das Haus selbst ist gut geeignet für eine Familie mit zwei Kindern – alles war sauber und funktional. Die Küche ist funktional ausgestattet, aber da wir meist auswärts essen waren (was auf Sizilien sowieso ein Genuss ist!), hat uns das nicht gestört. Insgesamt haben wir uns rundum wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen Dank für diese schöne Auszeit!

We had an exceptional stay at House Nicasia. Giovanna was a fantastic host, and Pamela, who welcomed us, was equally friendly and helpful—both were incredibly responsive, always replying to messages within minutes. The house was spotless and immaculately maintained—it genuinely felt brand new. The garden and lawn were manicured to perfection, resembling a golf course. Inside, the rooms were spacious and comfortable, with high-quality mattresses and pillows that made for a great night’s sleep. The pool area was another highlight: relaxing, well-equipped, and complemented by a fully functional pool house that had everything we needed. Would absolutely love to return—highly recommended.

Beautiful location across the river from Noto - the property is well-thought-out and cared for, large variety of interesting trees and plants (lemons, oranges, pomegranates, almonds, etc) around the house, fun pool for the kids, well-appointed kitchen and beautiful spot for evening meals looking over the vista of Noto as the sun sets. However, the highlight was the hosts - Emanuel and Sebastiano - flexible with check-in and check-out, Emanuel took the time to answer all of our questions, introduce us to all of the interesting parts of the property, and provide local recommendations, and Sebastiano was very helpful and patient when I forgot our passports at the house and had to return to get them - he safeguarded them and met me in town to return them. Highly recommended!

Pictures cannot really reflect how beautiful this place is! The amazing view from the large terrace shows all the beauty of the rich Sicilian landscape: the sunrise from the sea, Etna with its clouds and always present smoke trace, the cow bells as the only sound you hear …. The house and the garden are made with love and are a perfect place to stay! Many places to visit are within a short drive - great location that allows you full privacy as well as many sight-seeing possibilities. What makes you feel at home from the first moment - are the very welcoming and kind hosts, Grazia and Antonio. They thought of everything when preparing the house for us. They are always available for answering questions and help. Great suggestions for places to see and to eat. Thank you for everything Grazia and Antonio!

Wow, what a stay we had at Ivan's place. Situated in a quiet spot just outside of Noto, surrounded by wild flowers, herbs and lemon trees. The most beautiful, private, quiet spot, we felt instantly relaxed and at home. Ivan and Dino were absolutely fantastic, responsive and helpful, thank you so much for making our stay so special. The villa is situated in a great spot for exploring the south east of Sicily, every day we went out and about exploring towns, beaches and restaurants. The beaches were stunning, especially San Lorenzo nature reserve, we had the entire beach to ourselves! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we couldn't recommend more highly.

We had a good stay at this clean and private place. We had to contact the host several times during our stay due to late check in, accidentally unpaid motorway toll etc. Giuseppe responded promptly and went extra mile to help. Many thanks!

Villa Erika was perfect for our family vacation. Villa Erika is simply lovely, the yard is comfortable and peaceful. The swimming pool is large and outdoor living areas are versatile. Outdoor lights were wonderfull. The host was always friendly and answered questions immediately when asked. She also told us about local sights. The rental car was good to have. We really enjoyed our vacation. Greetings from five adult travelers from Finland.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez Martina dans les environs de Syracuse. Nous étions un groupe de 17 personnes, et c'était idéal avec une salle de bain dans chaque chambre, une cuisine professionnelle (idéale pour faire venir un chef à domicile), ainsi qu'un espace piscine immense ! L'emplacement est très calme, au milieu de champs et de vaches. Martina a été très flexible pour notre départ, ce qui nous a permis de profiter de la maison toute la journée du dimanche. Sony nous a aidé pendant tout le weekend, ce qui était très sympathique. Il faut quand même savoir que la maison se trouve à 25 mins de la ville, il faut donc prévoir des moyens de transport si vous souhaitez visiter la ville de syracuse, ou sortir diner (la maison est assez isolée).
