Beach house holiday rentals in Catania

The views are absolutely breathtaking and the house is wonderful. You really need to take into account the hundreds of steps to and from the house, but other than that it's just wonderful!

Great place close to Ortigia, walkable. Apartment was as described, the only thing to mention is there was construction outside the apartment, however little to no noise, very few workers. Didn’t interfere in enjoying our stay. Would recommend!

Love this place. Superb balcony with great views and lots of space. Comfortable inside. Seconds to the beach and 5 minutes walk to the Funicular up to central Taormina. Host was great and even let us check out late.

We stayed for four weeks in march. We had a great time, we fell in love with the place and their lovely dog Fiocco who is very sweet, also to children. Therèse and Viviana were very kind and helpful when we had questions. The house is situated in the middle of a large lemon grove and a daily stroll to the sea (it's a pebble beach) is greatly recommended. The nearby village San Stefano di Camastra is great for an ice cream and a coffee. We expected more hikes to be near, as it is located right next to Nebrodi but finding and reaching hotspots (hiking or otherwise) was ultimately harder than expected. We encountered this across Sicily though and is not related to the house itself. Our children loved to roam around the premises and find their own little adventures. All in all, we had a great relaxed stay and felt in tune with rural Sicily.

Wonderful stay, very helpful host.

A Dream Stay at Cherubini – A Hidden Gem with Breathtaking Views Our stay at Cherubini was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning panoramic view—a perfect blend of shimmering blue water, the charming rooftops of the town, and the majestic mountains rising in the distance. It felt like stepping into a painting. The property itself was impeccably maintained, thoughtfully decorated, and incredibly peaceful. Every morning, we sipped coffee while watching the sunlight dance across the water, and in the evenings, the twinkling lights of the town below created a postcard-perfect backdrop. Cherubini is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience. If you’re looking for serenity, beauty, and a true sense of place, this is where you’ll find it. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already planning our return. Also a huge thank you to Francisco for portering our three luggage bags to the house. So helpful.

This place was absolutely beautiful! The view of the beach is absolutely stunning! Hubby and I loved hanging out on the porch and watching the waves! The home is on a cliff so beware there is a bit of a walk at an incline up streets one way or another way up streets then stairs! About 15 minutes walk from Port of Vietri. It’s just a short 6 to 10 minute walk to the towns square full of restaurants and adorable shops! The Airbnb was super clean and had everything we needed! Good kitchen supplies along with salt, pepper, sugar and olive oil to cook basic meals! The bed was super comfortable! Best bed in Italy after being there for 3 weeks! Also Raffaele is the sweetest most humble man! He is so down to earth and ready to help with any needs of his guests. He was so attentive and kind. He picked us up at the port and dropped us off at the Airport when he so didn’t have to. We made sure to compensate him! He is the definition of hospitality! Thank you Raffaele!

I highly recommend Carmelo's place. It is in an excellent location, has a comfortable space, and is steps from the water. The area is quieter at the end of the street, yet still close to everything. I would stay there again.

Such a wonderful home with incredible views! Very clean and comfortable for our family of 4. We loved sitting out on the terrace taking in the breathtaking vista! The shared pool was fun! Walking distance to and from the bus after doing many stairs was appreciated. Maria was very helpful with advice of what to see and do! Loved eating at Da Costantino across the street! Exceptional food and wonderful family owned restaurant with stunning views as well! A must do! We will definitely tell friends and family about Casa Angelica! A perfect place to stay to experience Positano!

Extremely clean and beautiful apartment. Very responsive host. The view was spectacular and the patio was very large and spacious. It’s very good for younger people that like to do a lot of walking and hiking. It’s very difficult to get in town especially when you have only a couple of days to explore the city. I had my mom and aunt with me and I would have preferred a hotel by the center of town. We spent a lot of money for taxi . Other than that the place and the host are wonderful and match the description on the listing .

Alessandra’s villa is gorgeous! The view was phenomenal and the place very clean and well stocked. Would definitely recommend. Love to come back sometime. There is obviously lots of stairs to go anywhere in the area so might want to consider that when booking. Thank you Alessandra!

Our stay has been amazing! The host is very welcoming and helpful. The property is clean, very well decorated and furnished. The location in the city center is very convenient. You can leave the car in the garage and enjoy walking through the city. We loved it a lot.!

Everything was great! Location was perfect and the space was lovely. Hard to beat the private pool!

Casa Incanto is a beautiful home, the gardens and pool area are exceptional, the views over Praiano, Positano and out to Capri are stunning. Inside Casa Incanto is very well laid out, very clean and very comfortable. It is very easy to get to Positano, Amalfi and Marina dei Praiano using the local link buses. We also hired a private boat from Marina dei Praiano to Capri.

Licia is the best air b n b host we have ever had! She made our trip seamless and was helpful in coordinating reservations and cabs. She is as very sweet and all of her recommendations were spot on. The home was even more beautiful than the photos. As the listing and many reviews state, it is at the top of Positano. The walk down was reasonable with many steps but only about 15-20 min to town. My mother was able to make it back up the steps one time but she did not prefer it and it took us around 45 mi, but like I said Lucia helped us coordinate rides and gave us bus instructions. There is also a nice restaurant at the top of the hill across the street called da constantino if you have a night you do not want to go to town.

Giuliana was a wonderful host – warm, welcoming, and always discreet. Her beautiful Shanti is a truly special place: the house is stunning, peaceful, and the pool adds a magical touch. We felt at home from the very first moment. Giuliana was always available with helpful suggestions and made our stay in Sicily even more enjoyable. Her kindness and care made a real difference. This has been a holiday we will always remember with joy. Thank you, Giuliana, from all of us – we hope to return soon to this little oasis of peace.

Thank you Salvatore sorry not to meet you in person but we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend

The accommodation was exactly as described, beautiful and really special. Also very central and you could start right in front of the door. We felt very comfortable, also the communication with Gwendalina and on site was very pleasant.

Beyond worth the value. The apartment has an incredible location, is even better (and bigger!) than the photos can capture and the level of communication makes everything very easy. Sudest homes went above and beyond in their level of communication. We had a few questions about parking and they responded to any inquiry within 5min which was remarkable. Absolutely stay here versus any other Airbnb or hotel in the area. You will not regret it.

Spacious and well-furnished apartment. Impeccable cleanliness and a very responsive and friendly host. Nice neighborhood, not too central but well connected, quiet and full of options if you don't want to go to the center for an aperitif/dinner. Absolutely affordable value. Highly recommended.

Great stay for a great price. Enjoyed it very much

Really enjoyable stay. Excellent communication on check-in. The only thing I would say is that the bedroom which looked onto the road was quite noisy until 1am on Saturday night. Friday and Saturday were fine. Other than that the apartment was beautifully renovated, had everything we needed and was well located for exploring Ortigia.

Beautifully furnished apartment for 3 people. The rooms are clean, and the kitchen has all the necessary cooking utensils. You can hear street noise in the kitchen day and night, but the bedroom is soundproofed. The host was very friendly. Thank you very much - we would stay here again.

Simona’s place is just what we were looking for. Easy walking distance to amazing sites of Catania. The terrace was a nice place to relax with a cup of coffee. We enjoyed our stay.
