Holiday rentals in Balata di Baida

Very nice home, peaceful and quiet! Beautiful location and views. Remote, but close enough to restaurants, markets etc by car. The property felt secure and safe. We arrived at the end of May, and hoped that the garden and grounds were maintained better - flowers and landscaping would make this place remarkable! The outdoor umbrellas weren’t around, but the different sitting areas made it easy to sit in the shade and enjoy the views. The outdoor tables hadn’t been cleaned in a while, but that was an easy fix. The stairs down to the ocean made getting up and down pretty easy, a few missing stones, and the handrail was rough, but an easy up and down. The owner could have been a bit clearer on how to access the water from the rocks, and some beach towels would have been nice, as well as shampoo and soap for personal use and dishes. Not a big deal, but would have made our stay nicer. The interior of the house was spotless, but in good weather (which we had), we wanted to be outside.

Excellent stay! Brand new house, very well equipped, with a spectacular view. Very close to shops (supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, etc.) and also just a short drive from the Marina, the beach, and the historic center. Special mention to Mirko, who was extremely attentive and friendly. We loved it and will definitely come back.

A unique location where you can enjoy the outdoors in Sicily, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. We were able to have breakfast in the sun every morning (October). There are various pieces of furniture to create cozy seating areas in the garden, and there is also tasteful tableware for a pleasant dinner table. The location is a great base for those with access to a car. Various attractions and towns can be reached within 30 to 40 minutes. Although the town center of Scopello is small, there are wonderful restaurants with a lovely ambiance and a bakery offering the tastiest almond cookies and coffee, just a 5-minute drive away. The house has 2 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and the layout ensures that both rooms have plenty of privacy. We received the best recommendation from Catharina about visiting a wine producer who makes wine in an authentic and as natural way as possible. We had a wonderful evening at Elios’ vineyard. Highly recommended, I would book again!

It is absolutely necessary to plan an SUV to reach the top of this mountain, which dominates the sea, in an environment of incredible beauty. Our host is extraordinarily kind and available. If you accept, his dog will come by in the evening to say hello, but will never enter the house. If indeed, the first time, you will be impressed by the path that takes you to this magical place, you will get used to it very quickly. You are 15 minutes from beautiful beaches and the beautiful village of Scopello. The accommodation is exactly as in the photos, the jacuzzi is hot to welcome you. The kitchen is very well equipped. The terrace is well shaded. The views are great. Great value for money. That's Sicily!

Absolutely fantastic stay – exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, the host went above and beyond – incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We were given a detailed guidebook full of local recommendations, which made exploring the area so much easier and more enjoyable. The home itself was stunning – the photos really don’t do it justice. Thoughtful luxury touches were everywhere – they truly thought of everything to make the stay comfortable and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would 100% stay here again without hesitation!

"A wonderful stay from start to finish! Julia, our host, was fantastic: very professional, smiling and always accommodating. The house is simply the place where I would like to live - a real little corner of paradise. Everything was there for an unforgettable time: comfort, tranquility and a magnificent view. What a joy! I highly recommend this place to everyone, and I hope to return very soon. Christian"

Could not recommend this beautiful Airbnb more! Was undoubtedly the best experience I’ve had. The apartment is more beautiful in real life and there is the sweetest little pathway down the beach 2 seconds from the apartment… We had coffee every morning at the little shop at the end of the road and spent our days at Casa Maje - a magical beach club run by very special people. Thank you so much Maria Teresa! This is a very special find and we will absolutely be back! For sure!

We absolutely loved the villa. It was exactly as it looked in the photos. Beds and facilties were all really comfy. 5 mins drive into town and Marina. Stunning views and scenery as your up n the hills looking accross the bay. great communication from Ale. We didn't want to leave.
