Cottage holiday rentals in Catania

We had a great time. The view from the terrace was breathtaking. The road was not as bad as advertised in the reviews. The accommodation, as well as the amenities allowed us to have a pleasant stay.

This was the perfect base for my young family of four- close enough to drive into Ostuni, Cisternino, and all of Puglia's small towns but also in a private location of its own, far away from the tourist crowds. We were able to join the fray but also detach at the end of the day and enjoy quiet afternoons and evenings at Marilla's beautiful place. Maria was very responsive and helped me with little extras that made our stay smoother and more enjoyable. It was like having a local contact, thank you very much!

La dolce vita is what you will find at the "Casetta Segreta". A peaceful and relaxing environment. You will be enchanted by the charm of this region that pushes you to relax and contemplate. A very beautiful address, a responsive host who cares about your well-being and who offers you activities. Thank you Erika for introducing us to the "Panzerotti" (a real delight) and thank you to Flaviana for her kindness and smile. A very nice house easy to live in and love.

Wonderful place, in the middle of the olive groves, we enjoyed the beautiful view and the nice garden every day, where our dog could roam freely. Absolutely recommended, with the note that the access road is poor and very steep, so you do have to dare to drive a bit.

The apartment is very spacious and very well equipped with a separate sleeping area. The pool was great, so we didn't need the beach outside the door ( full or private) or made trips to other beaches or towns. The other guests at the property were pleasant, friendly people we had fun with. We felt very comfortable in this beautiful, small oasis! The communication with Leyla was quick and uncomplicated.

We had a lovely stay here – the pool is absolutely amazing, our 12-year-old spent most of his time in it! We loved our little house as well – it had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Annapaola was a great host, really helpful, and so easy to get in touch with if we had any questions (Domenico was brilliant too!), and very quick to respond. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed a boat trip one day, which Annapaola recommended. The town is great fun at night, and there are supermarkets within 5-10 minutes drive. Thank you for a great holiday :)

We spent an unforgettable week at Monica's, the place is quiet with a magnificent view of the sea and the horizon from the terrace/pool. Monica's residence and the outbuilding are typically Italian, that's all we were looking for. In addition, the dog is adorable and Milo the cat is just as adorable, he will ask you for a lot of petting. But be careful not to pet it in front of the dog, which will let you know its displeasure. And if you want to eat the best pizzas of your life, I recommend the Don Coccio pizzeria (10 min by car). A place that doesn't look like much, but is typically Sicilian!

Our host Caroline welcomed us, and made sure we were able to get to the destinations we booked. She always responded quickly to us. We would recommend to all our friends.

We really enjoyed our stay, stunning views from the house , surrounded by lemon and orange trees and mountains, simply beautiful. You leave your car parked at the bottom of the hill unless you have a small fiat panda or bike, but Francescas Mum drove all the luggage up for us. The place is very charming and Francesca and Anna made us very welcome, giving us fruit from the garden and homemade olive oil. We even shared a drink of homemade Limoncello together. There’s a small swimming pool which we enjoyed and a pool table which was fun to use in the evenings. After a long day sight seeing it was lovely to come back to a homely place away from the busy streets. Kitchen has a washing machine, coffee machine,microwave, hob, toaster, fridge freezer there was even water left in the fridge for us. Everywhere was clean and tidy and nice comfortable beds and pillows, towels are provided too. We couldn’t have asked for nicer hosts.

To be honest, at first, we were a bit worried that the house might be too far out, but the warm welcome we received from Patrizia and Damiano, combined with the stunning beauty of the house, immediately made us feel we had made the right decision. Everything was spotless, with fresh, clean linens and towels that smelled amazing. From the beautifully landscaped garden to the carefully curated decor throughout the house, every detail reflected thoughtfulness and a great sense of aesthetics. We especially loved the paintings by Valentina on the walls. It was a perfect stay—thank you again for everything! We recommend this place.

We had a great stay! The property was easy to find, clean, and exactly as described. The host was very helpful and responsive. We really liked the place and would definitely stay again. Highly recommended!

Le Fratte is a wonderful site with lots of plants and this house a gem! Bigger, more beautiful and cozy than on the pictures we spend here some wonderful days and didn't mind some of them to be rainy at all, as one could still sit on the huge covered terrace and enjoy the view. The beaches right in front of the site are beautiful, but require at least some basic fitness to get down to and up from. There's a big beach next to the porto touristico not far away that should be easily accessible for everyone though. The Ristorante in the village, Le Pagoda, was still opened in late October, which we almost didn't expect, so in case you don't want to use the kitchen (which has all the basics and much more so you're ready to cook) once in a while, there's a surprisingly good option to eat out (try the swordfish carpaccio) just a 5 minute walk away. 10/10 would definitely go back again.

House and surroundings were actually nicer than the description: very quiet, beautiful area with stone wall, olive trees etc. Pleasantly quiet. A little cat greeted us every morning for breakfast. City within walking distance - but takes at least 30 minutes.

We had a wonderful time! The house and the surrounding nature are fantastic. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

Beautiful historic property which was easily accessible to the tourist towns such as Ostuni, Alberobello etc. Pierfrancesco was a generous host and made us feel at home. Would definitely recommend and stay again

This villa is absolutely beautiful. It is better than the pictures even show! The views are incredible and everything is so tranquil. There is one restaurant within walking distance, but with scooter rental and taxis, everything was accessible. Valentino was a great host and helped us with whatever we needed (restaurant reservation, taxis, etc). It is a beautifully maintained property and I highly recommend staying here!

The stay at Ornella and Giuseppe's was very pleasant. The house was very clean and there was everything you needed to have a great stay. We also took advantage of the outdoor area to have a barbecue and dinner outdoors in the garden. We hope to be back with you soon ❤️

Beautiful and quiet place in the center of a charming town. Amazing beach nearby. We'll be back.

Giovanni place was very peaceful and had a very beautiful view. Good base for visiting Nepal, Sorrento, Pompeii and Amalfi. Giovanni was very friendly and very helpful if you had any questions. My husband and I stayed for six days and had a very good time.

Margherita’s place is just amazing. We spent 3 nights there with my husband and our 2.5 year old son and it was perfect in every way. So lovely drinking coffee outside in the morning, looking at the beautiful views arounds. The surroundings are beautiful, great for kids to play around. He especially loved the chickens and doggies around. Kitchen was well equipped and the whole place was clean and smelled amazing. Margherita gave us great tips of what to explore and what restaurants to try out. Thanks so much!

We had a nice, quiet and relaxed time. There is a lot of seating and tables inside and outside. Beautiful private yard, with fantastic ocean view. The accommodation offers a lot of space and the kitchen is well equipped except for a neat chef's knife and a large pan. Plenty of dishes and cutlery for large families and a dishwasher available. Adapter for Schuko plug partially available. It could have been a little cleaner, but it was tidy and the living space was very homely and decorated. Beaches can be reached in a few minutes' walk or you can also enter the water directly at the house via the stones. There is the possibility of kite and windsurfing right nearby. In early October, the water temperature was still very good for swimming. Some restaurants are within walking distance (about 15 minutes). Many shopping opportunities can be reached by car within minutes. Good, friendly and fast communication from the hosts - thank you!

A very nice and cozy house. We enjoyed the view and the beautiful surroundings with plenty of opportunities for hiking - and our three children loved the wooden hut in the forest.

You only get there by car. Be wise and take a small rental car, the road is very narrow and steap.

In the period from the end of May to the beginning of June, we (couple in our early 60s) lived in Mariangela's house for 14 days. Mariangela welcomed us very warmly at the house. She gave us a lot of information and good tips that were very helpful when exploring the area. We felt very comfortable in the spacious house, not least because of the quiet location and the many opportunities to relax outside on the terrace, veranda or in the garden. The beautiful cities, nature and beaches are easily accessible by car. Mariangela was always quick to respond to any questions. We really enjoyed the time and would come back again and again.
