Luxury rentals in Catania

Villa Elizabeth was absolutely perfect. The villa is as advertised in the listing with stunning views, and the host & staff were also incredibly helpful in attending to our every need, recommending restaurants and activities, helping us get around the coast, and more. Would definitely go back

Martina was amazing. She listened to feedback and addressed it straight away. She assisted us communicating with locals and helped us overcome some problems and she gave us great local tips. You couldn’t find a more generous and caring host!

Absolutely stunning and perfection! Enea has restored this Trulli taking care to preserve the historical details and adding all the modern luxuries without overdoing it. It feels like a peaceful country home with a gorgeous setting; those hillside sea views and all the privacy one could want. It almost feels like a shame to leave the property to explore the area. A week is not too long. Enea is also a very responsive host, happy to share his knowledge of the area and suggests things to do. We had one of our favourite tours at a local 7 generation plus Masseria that produced quality extra virgin olive oil. Be sure to ask!

Our 7 night stay was “Bellissmo”! The villa had everything you might need to ensure an enjoyable experience. The views are spectacular! The kitchen is a chef’s kitchen and very well stocked. Loved the induction stove top. Beautifully furnished throughout. Housekeeping was spotless. Michelle, who greeted us upon our arrival was extremely helpful. Whenever I had a question he was quick to respond. Nunzio, the owner, brought us a box of lovely vegetables from his farm, which enabled us to make Pasta Alla Norma, delicious! Down the road is a nice restaurant, Sicilian Mia Restorante. They make very nice pasta dishes. A 5 Star experience! Highly recommend it!

For the past 20 years I every 5 years I celebrate my birthday. This was one of the best. The place was amazing and Antonio recommended a chef. I did breakfast the first morning and dinner that night and also the last night of our stay. But he was so amazing we had him do dinner every night. My only recommendation would be rent a small car.

We had a lovely week in Fabio's amazing property. We were planning to do a lot of daytrips, but ended up spending a lot of time by the pool, just enjoying the sunshine, eating al fresco, barbecueing and playing table tennis :). It was very relaxing and despite the hot temperatures (33-36 degrees most days) it was bearable thanks to the pool and comfortable at night thank to good air conditioning. Puglia surprised us (in a positive way) - we visited most parts of Italy but this one feels very unique and not-yet-overcrowded.

Amazing place. Very responsive and helpful hosts. Would highly recommend and very likely to return.

Beautiful view! Loved that we could order a water taxi. Lots of steps to the sea, but I guess that's what you get in Positano/Amalfi. We also loved using the pizza oven. We ordered groceries, they brought them into the kitchen, which was great because it's a hike up to the road. Overall, a lovely stay.

We had a positive stay at Corte dei Messapi. I was celebrating a milestone birthday with a group of 14 guests. The property is absolutely gorgeous. They keeps the grounds well groomed. The rooms are all fairly consistent in size and amenities, each having a full bathroom and good closet space. The common areas were great as well, with countless places to enjoy the outdoors and views of Puglia. They also helped me plan events and book transport. They helped us organize a pizza party, with a pizzaiolo coming to the villa to cool an incredible dinner for us. Truly a very special experience. The transport they booked for us was also great—on time, clean, new vans, polite drivers. In terms of location, the villa is very close to Ostuni. You’re also able to drive to other town. The central location was perfect for us as we took the chance to visit nearby towns, beaches, and sites. Overall we had a great experience at Corte dei Messapi. I would recommend it for large groups.
