Family-friendly holiday rentals in Gioia Tauro

Wonderful place, wonderful location, very charming and clean. Looking forward to returning.

Second stay and I want to come back. The apartment and Stephano are perfect and I really like the location close to everything. Thank you Stephano and see you next time👋.

Franco is great and friendly. 100% helpful. Good beds. The accommodation is close to the beach. Although we were here out of season, we experienced a lot and enjoyed the town and its surroundings.

I highly recommend this Villa - it surpassed our expectations. The best aspect is Maurizio’s services and excellent communication. He helped organise transfers (even at very short notice), arranged pizza chefs at the villa, and reliably responded to all our requests promptly. Hospitality and care like a 5* hotel. I planned a trip for 4 days for a group of 14 girls in mid-May. As soon as we landed in Catania, we felt we were being personally looked after. Maurizio helped me pre-arrange minibus transfers and kept in regular contact to ensure all was well. Exploring the grounds of the villa was a highlight. We enjoyed fresh oranges from the trees and squeezed large lemons into our drinks. There’s an excellent outdoor gazebo area with concrete ground and tent-like roof surrounded by beautiful trees. The terraces provide beautiful views of the sea, sunset and islands. The kitchen is small but was sufficient to cook for 14 people, with large pots/pans. Bedrooms huge and spacious

My family spent a week here while we were in town for a family wedding. The pictures do not do the villa justice- it really is so spectacular in person and so vast in space. Between the back gardens, the front terrace, and its numerous rooms, there was no shortage of space. We also enjoyed a fabulous dinner organized by Umberto’s mother on our first evening. As other folks have mentioned, the train does run behind the villa, but this is true for most accommodations in the area. Some family members stayed at a hotel up the street and had the same issue. The location itself cannot be beat as you are literally a block away from the beach, restaurants, and cafes. The one thing I would be aware of is that there is a pub directly below the villa that gets extremely loud on the weekends. There were hordes of people spilling out onto the streets and blocking the entrance to the villa when we would come home at night into early. Not much within the control of the hosts but worth noting.

Apartment on the mezzanine floor in an area full of plants, flowers, swimming pool and relaxation area. Very well maintained and equipped with everything for cooking. Terrace for dining outside. The owner Ms. Ivana is very helpful and friendly. The house allows you to walk to the most beautiful beaches in Tropea. Recommended.

The apartment is perfect, with an outdoor pool. Great for family vacations and not.

Great place for families; beautiful village(only downside is that it is 40min drive from coast and that roads are really narrow); good base to go to Stromboli/Vulcano; Marco was super responsive

Carlo’s place was amazing! The view from the balcony was breathtaking. The apartment had everything our family needed for our short two night stay in Scilla. Scilla is a beautiful little town. Everything was walkable and the locals are friendly. The apartment is close to a small beach where we rented chairs and spent a good part of the day. The larger beach is walkable as well- it’s beautiful but more crowded. Carlo was very responsive and a great host! If we visit Scilla again, we will definitely stay here!

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

Luca was very friendly and helpful with finding the place since our maps brought us to another location, he even let us in early to get ready for the wedding that evening. The place was clean and quiet which was exactly what we needed

A simple but beautiful villa with plenty of space, several terraces and a beautiful and unobstructed view of the sea. From there you can explore the area on foot or by car and you can discover something new every day. Be it the Castello, the Capo Milazzo or the old and new center of the city. The house is simply furnished, not up to date, but this also has its charm. Yes, there are no real showers or air conditioning, but this has been made up for by the view, the spacious garden and much more. I would like to highlight Alessandra and her family. Super friendly, helpful and respond very nicely and promptly to inquiries. Thank you for 2 great weeks in Sicily.

Francesco’s apartment in the old town of Pizzo was in a great position for access to everything you’d want in Pizzo. We were met by Viola who was really lovely and friendly. The location was great, only a minute’s walk and you’re in the heart of the town, with great restaurants, views over the sea, and a lovely and quiet little public beach. The apartment was equipped with everything you need and was nicely decorated, and very welcoming. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of seating in the living room and it was also great to have the two bathrooms. The kitchen was also great and we were able to make a couple of meals when staying there and had these out on the lovely terrace. We had a great stay at Francesco’s apartment and would highly recommend staying there, and would book again.

The view from the balcony was wonderful! The pictures of this apartment don’t do it justice. The balcony was big enough for two to enjoy coffee or wine. Really felt like a local but had enough restaurants around. Everything was walkable up and down hill. The apartment was not so big, but very comfortable for two. Can’t say much about how the kitchen worked, because who wants to cook when so much Italian food is at your doorstep? However, we were there the day many things closed down at the beginning of November. Still, we found good places to eat. Would recommend this apartment.

Francesco was very kind, gave us very clear directions and was always there to answer any questions. If you're coming to Lamezia, I highly recommend this accommodation.

Massimos place was absolutely perfect. He was the best host - even waited up until 11pm for our unexpected late arrival. Knew we were starving called a restaurant ahead of time to stay open for us and drove us there! Steps from the beach and they provide you with everything you need. It was especially great for us as we have a 2 year old. The grounds were perfect for her to run around and she loved breakfast every morning. We are already planning our next trip back 😊

We had a fantastic week at Villa Margherita. We were 10 people from 2 years to 68 years and had a great time together in the beautiful house, the outdoor area and by the pool. We had all meals outside at the beautiful patio with the possibility of barbecuing. We also used the charcoal grill in the garden and made wonderful meat and fish dishes. The swimming pool and the surrounding area were fantastic and we used it every day. The garden and the view are fantastic and gave a special peace. Natale, who lived in the apartment above the villa, was very nice and he cleaned the pool and helped us if we had any questions. Margherita was also very helpful with questions before the trip and she recommended a very nice cook (Giovanni) who had cooking classes for us. Fantastic experience! The villa is beautifully located, a little withdrawn from Santa Teresa Di Riva. It is an advantage to have a car as it is a bit of a walk down to the city. I recommend visiting Savoca and Taormina. I highly recommend Villa Margherita and a big thank you to Natale

My friend and I arrived by train, and Vittoria picked us up in the car and took us straight to the house. The house matched Vittoria's descriptions and we had a great time. Vittoria is very kind and helpful, she welcomed us in a friendly way and was always available for anything. He also gave us various tips on where and what to visit and even advised us to rent a scooter for getting around, as the area is quite hilly and not flat. We were close to the sea and the beaches were just a short scooter ride away. Impeccable view from the house, you are surrounded by nature. There is also a swimming pool and a bar. It was really fantastic, Vittoria really welcomed us as if we were at home. Highly recommended for those who want to stay in Ricadi.

Great property - just a little tricky to get to if you don't have a car, taxis and transfers take a long time in Sicily It's a beautiful home - would come back

Annelis house is close to the beach and offers a marvelous view over the sea. Anneli is great and generous, she allowed as a really late checkout. Communication with her was absolutely easy and she always answered very fast. Since she wasn't around we were taken care of by Loraine who is lovely and who gave us a lot of useful informations. The house itself is enough big for a family with 4kids, the beds a comfortable and the kitchen offers everything you need. Off-season you have to drive a little bit to the next supermarket since there are not many people in the area, but on the other hand we were almost alone at the beach and that was worth it. We loved to be there and are hoping to come again soon.

Angela is a very dedicated host. She put together a dossier like the Yellow Pages with tips, was always available, everything organized. The house is in a quiet area, you should have a car. The shops are also within walking distance. The house itself has everything you need. Beautiful rooms, pool is also nice but I myself heated too cold, but I am also frozen, my daughter did not do that at all. We felt very comfortable.

Absolutely lovely Airbnb. Perfect for our large family and included a lovely breakfast spread. We arrived early and were allowed to check-in early. The pool and common areas were beautiful. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed the time at the place. Purposefully furnished, everything you need. Close to the sea, really great and very clean water at the end of May before the season. A restaurant within walking distance, the pizza there is great, but also the fish dishes. From 01.06, there is also a bar on the beach and on weekends the Jugaad Lounge is very cozy. The fact that we were right at the entrance gate of the house did not bother us. There are loungers and a beach umbrella. If you take the umbrella stand to the beach, nothing will fly away. There are great gelaterias and restaurants in Davoli max 10 min by car. We had perfect 7 days and only missed the pool a little, which should have been filled on 06/01. The people there and the fantastic landscape made up for it. ;-)

Francesco and Guido welcomed us warmly and made sure our stay went smoothly. We stayed 17 nights in August. The place is beautiful, very well cared for and very peaceful. A place of other times cared for with extreme taste. The house has a beautiful patio where you can have nice dinners and the pool is a fantastic space when you want to relax. The sea is very close and offers a wide free beach (no amenities), but if you want to find equipped spaces nearby. To reach the house there is a dirt road to travel carefully, but absolutely feasible.
