Family-friendly holiday rentals in Chianchitta

Amazing place. Nicer than the pictures! Close to Mt Etna, Taormina, and the gorge. We had an amazing stay.

The apartment was very modern and clean. It is centered nearby the castle - note that the streets are pretty small in the center of the village, so it's better when you have a small car. Also, the road from Catania to Montalbano are very curvy and damaged at the end.

Great place to get to know Sicily east coast. The Jacuzzi is very nice

The check-in was flexible and easily arranged. The villa was beautiful and very comfortable for two couples, located outside of the city which makes it easy to unplug and relax. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Carlo was a super friendly host. We felt welcome in the truest sense of the word. We were greeted by him personally with a huge bowl of fresh fruit and a homemade cake! Carlo was very concerned about our well-being and gave us lots of great tips and recommendations for the region. The house with the large garden in a very quiet location offers a great view of Mount Etna and at the same time you can hear the sound of the sea. The house is very tastefully furnished, very clean and comfortable. As soon as it got dark, we enjoyed the view of Mount Etna from the fireplace. We would love to come back at any time and can highly recommend this accommodation.

We had a fantastic eight day stay in Mario’s wonderful villa. The location and views are incredible and we would highly recommend staying here. Mount Etna even erupted and put on a display (which was fabulous to witness) and Mario was hot on the phone telling us to get outside at 11pm to view the spectacle. A perfect venue with lots of space for our large party of eight adults and two children, the surrounding patios gave amazing panoramic views of the sea and countryside. We loved picking fresh oranges and cherries daily which was so relaxing and tasty! It’s a short 15 minute walk to the local town with a wonderful bakery and butchers plus supermarkets all accessable. We will definitely return to this wonderful villa when revisiting Sicily and I can’t recommend it enough! Thank you Mario .

Gwendalina's place was exactly as pictured and very centrally located right next to the cathedral and the fish market. The terrace was a great addition. Gwendalina was also super proactive with check-in and was very responsive. Definitely recommend!

Alberto was a fantastic, friendly host. He gave us reccomendations, booked us a great value return taxi and even taught us how to make pizza! The villa had a breath-taking view and it felt like our own little mountain retreat. The only downside is that the driveway is very steep and long - we had to leave our rental cars at the bottom of the road (and scratched one car from attempting to drive up it!). But, if you're ok with a steep walk up, then don't let it put you off staying in the beautiful location.

Great location and perfect for our family of four! Easy to walk to restaurants and stores. Parking our car in the garage was super convenient.

We had a truly wonderful time at this apartment in Taormina. The place was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed to feel at home. The location couldn’t be better – just steps away from Porta Catania and Corso Umberto, making it super convenient to explore the town. You can also do a little trekking to Castelmola through the Saracen Path nearby. Our host, Lory, was incredibly kind and responsive throughout our stay. She shared great recommendations for restaurants and shopping, which made our experience even more enjoyable. On our last day, she even helped us arrange an early morning taxi to the bus terminal – a gesture we truly appreciated. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Taormina!

We had a wonderful stay at the appartement. We really enjoyed the beautiful balcony and the nature all around. We even got nice fresh fruits out of the garden!

Andreas house is like a home away from home. It is thoughtfully decorated, the lavastonehouse is charming and inside it has everything you need. The ourdoors is beautiful! The view is spectacular, the kids loved the pool and the sorroundings are unimaginable. You have to see it to understand, how wonderful it is. Andrea is the perfect helpful and informative host. The area is peaceful, a bit rural, but that makes it just better.

Silvana's hospitality is inline with the legendary Sicilian tradition. you are welcome as a honored guest not as a paying client. the beautiful location is like out of a movie, with stairs and small passways. An unique experience in the core of Sicily.

Giuseppe is an exceptional host, very helpful and available. The village of Motta Camastra is very nice and the view is sublime. We were lucky to be there during the 2 days of the village festival so we could enjoy the concerts, fireworks, processions, illuminations and brass band. The apartment is very functional, well located in the village and allows you to enjoy the various visits to do in the vicinity including Etna. We regret not staying longer!

Loved every minute of it. Super spacious with a lovely small outside spot. We both sleep with earplugs anyway, so the sound did not bother us. But it is something to be aware or. The location was superb, just as the communication was! Would 100% recomend to friends

Amazing stay and amazing host!!! Spacious house for a family of 4. Elisa was extremely helpful with any questions we had.

We were two Canadian couples staying for 5 nights (after visiting Milano/Genova), with a car that we rented at Catania airport. We arrivred at 9PM but our host Nando was communicating us and received us in person. Upon arrival, fridge had some complimentary sandwiches, juice drinks and snacks, and a delicious homemade cake. Lovely place, peaceful, spacious, additional to detail, comes as advertised. Beautiful 180 degree view, when sitting outside by the pool, and even from main salon/kitchen. Loved the bedrooms and in particular the high quality mattresses and sheets. Made good use of the washing machine as we had a lot of laundry from our first week in Italy. Nando was very thoughful and proactive in checking in on us and suggesting places to visit and eat at. Good location, about a 10-15 minute drive to Taormina parking and a short drive to get on highway to visit Mount Etna or Syracuse/Ortigia. We had a wonderful stay in Sicily, thank you Nando!

The villa is great, and the garden and pool are huge and very attractive, and also well maintained. Paul is an excellent host, friendly and responsive. You definitely need a car here as there are no pavements on the road outside the gates and the traffic whizzes along it. The local town, Trecastagni, is nice, with bars, restaurants and shops of all sorts. Overall our stay was excellent. The only downside was a building site next door that was noisy and created fumes and dust during the week, but I guess that won't be forever. Already missing it, the morning swim especially, and of course the sight (and sound) of Etna. Highly recommended. Visit Taormina while you're there. And try the Etna DOC wines.

We enjoyed our stay in Villa Ambra. The Villa is a good size and accommodated our two families. We walked several times to the shops a short walk from the Villa in the morning to buy things for breakfast but there are also cafés and grocery shops nearby as well. The Villa felt very friendly and inviting with a useful sized outdoor pool. We ate inside in the large dining room and outside, sheltered from the sun. The Villa felt like home and we were settled in very quickly. The views from the windows were great but slightly dampened by the unfinished building down the hill. Nevertheless, we had a beautiful view of Mount Etna from the window of the Villa. The hardware provided to support our stay was great and made the holiday very relaxed, but anyway, the caretakers live locally if we had any queries. The Villa is a short bus ride from Taormina, a beautiful old Hillside town that is definitely worth a visit. Personally, We will miss Villa Ambra and look forward to returning.

Beautiful and comfortable! The pool and views put this over the top perfect. Many steps, but the walkway is lovely. There is a short uphill distance to walk to town center. Our group ranged in age from 60-72, all moderately fit, and we did ok. We had some difficulty finding the place when we first got there , but we are not experienced travelers and made a few mistakes in directions. Sabina was easily accessible and very helpful in guiding us. Helga was wonderful in her communications and had many recommendations. Her driver service for our Mt Etna excursion and return trip to the airport was professional, friendly, and easy to contact. We very highly recommend!

Michaela was very friendly and the House is very nice!

We loved our stay with Claudia. The room was as described and it was a lovely place to stay. We walked around the neighborhood and easily found restaurants and cafes. Claudia was exceptionally friendly and helpful. She even found a driver to get us to the airport for an early flight. Can’t recommend more! If we are ever back in the area, we’ll definitely stay again.

Beautiful place, very quiet and private. Amazing pool and views of etna and the sea. Claudia is a great host and helps a lot! We really enjoyed our stay there!

Great apartment with a nice view of Isola Bella! Everything was very clean and the hosts were really friendly. We especially enjoyed the pool!
