Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Gioiosa Marea

Lory's place is as described, the terrace is fantastic as are the views over the sea and to the horizon. There are a couple of good restuarants close by but you will need a car to fully enjoy the experience. A great quiet place to relax, unwind and get away from everyday life.

Great terraces with view of the sea. Not a lot of restaurants to walk to. Place was very clean and furnished well. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to make several dinners there with no problem. We went during shoulder season so the area was very quiet. I’m sure it’s busier during the summer.

My family and I loved our stay at Anita’s place! The apartment looks just like the pictures and is in a fantastic location, extremely close to restaurants, bars, shops and the cable car. Although you can hear people at the nearby restaurants in the evening, they didn’t disturb our sleep and I personally loved hearing people having fun. In addition, we couldn’t hear any noise at all when we were in the second bedroom. We had a rental car and parked in one of the garages outside the medieval gate and took the free shuttle back to the gate and walked to the apartment from there. It was quite easy and not troublesome at all. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

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!

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!

The accommodation is a marvel. Housed in a centuries-old structure, equipped with all comforts, the gem is the bathtub directly in the bedroom. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommended!

We had a good time at Giuseppe and Antonellas place. Enjoyed the view from the rooftop. It is placed in a charming part of town, with bakery and reTearants close by, and the churchbells ringing!

Castelmola was a dream. Absolutely stunning. We loved every second. The place is great. no problems at all.

Very nice place. Host provides good guaidance. Need good driving skill to reach there.

We loved this place! If you want a private spot more on the countryside but still close to the beach, Taormina, Catania and visiting the Etna this is the best. We stayed for a week and want to come back if we visit Sicily again. Thanks for hosting Andrea!

We had a wonderful time with our 2 little chileren at the beautiful house. The view at the pool is incredible and the garden is beautiful and well maintained. Anna Lucia and Sergio are superfriendly and made us feel at home. We recommand this place enough!

Roberto’s place is wonderful. Everything was very well cared for, the pool was perfect and there were plenty of areas to relax and enjoy the scenery. We would definitely come back. Thank you

My family and friends had a simply wonderful stay in this beautiful villa. We chose it because it was a little further off the beaten path and more “authentic old Italian villa” feeling than other places in Sicily. And it delivered exactly the experience we were looking for and more. The villa itself was spacious and yet adorable. Huge old and beautiful windows and doors to bring the outside in. Had everything we needed. The views and outdoor space around the villa were also so lovely and enjoyable. Beautiful little olive orchard. Terraces and outdoor entertaining spaces galore. The game room and pool were awesome for our kids. The pool is unheated, but warm enough to use mid April. But the best part about this villa was the experiences Rosario coordinated for us. We had 2 nights where a chef came over to cook us dinner. The chef turned out to be the neighbor, who cooked the most delicious Sicilian meals we’ve had. She also arranged a visit to a farm and limoncello maker. Amazing!

This is a luxury gem hidden away in a tranquil location. The only minus off season was that most restaurants <30 minutes away were closed (October) otherwise this place is magic, clean, newly refurbished, has all necessary amenities, incredibly private and has excellent hosts and goat farmer neighbors ;)

As is often the case, the pictures of the view don't come close to the actual view we enjoyed during our stay. Absolutely breathtaking! The apartment was nicely appointed and around a 15 minute walk to the core town activities of Taormina. The owners of the apartment live upstairs and were a joy to get to know. If you love dogs, their sweet Papaya will become your new best friend. Our hosts were very responsive and even brought us some sweet lemon mousse (and shared the recipe!) for us to enjoy. I am quite certain we will be visiting Taormina again, as it is one of the most beautiful places on earth, and I will definitely look to stay here again.

It is really cost-effective to book the pool villa at this price point, there is also a barbecue grill here, so the house owner helped us make a fire, I ate a barbecue with my kids, I also brought the prairie red sun BBQ sauce bought from the house, with steak chicken legs, happy to go down to the pool for a while more (it was a little cold in the sky, and the water was a little regrettable), the vacation feeling was full!In the back I forgot my phone charger and also helped me mail the place behind me, which is very much appreciated!Although not near the famous towns of Cefalù or Taormina, if you have a car, take a break for an afternoon and evening, I highly recommend!

Alba was the perfect host and looked after us so very well. Of note: the Calabrian eggs for breakfast were delicious. The balcony area was the perfect place to relax and enjoy watching the ocean life of Scilla.

Concetta is an incredible host! The apartment is located right in the heart of Naxos, just a minute’s walk from the sea and close to all the restaurants and bars. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, and there’s even a washing machine. We stayed as a couple with a baby, and everything was perfect. Concetta helped us with everything we needed – she went above and beyond. The place was cleaned every two days, and even the sheets were replaced regularly. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely be back!

This is the best apartment we've ever stayed in, anywhere.. The apartment is spectacular, it's so much better than the photos, it is huge and the quality of furniture and decor is absolutely excellent. The location is perfect, it manages to be just a few steps from the main streets of taormina, yet it's also really quiet and secluded, very rare to find. We were met by Monica, who handles the property for the host, she was absolutely amazing, so friendly and helpful, and always available. It was my partners 40th birthday trip, and Monica even dropped off a surprise gift for her on the day, everything was above and beyond expectations. We had the best trip ever and if you are going to taormina, this is the place to stay, without question.

Amazing stay in Taormina. A short walk and you’re in the heart of Taormina. Apartment itself was beautiful, clean, plenty spacious for two. The balcony offers a stunning view of the Ionian Sea. Easy check in. Angelo was very responsive. Would definitely recommend staying here.

It was amazing to stay at Fabrizio’s home. It was my 2nd time now, and I have to say it always takes the breath away. The house was clean, well organised, it has anything you need, really. Was a delight. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

This was a fantastic airbnb!!! The property was beautiful- many windows overlooking the sweet little town and the vast Mediterranean Sea. It was very new inside with everything we needed to be comfortable and cook several meals. The interior is nice and larger than appears in the photos. The bed and bedding was wonderful. And screens on the bedroom window- rare in Italy. The host was responsive and the person who checked us in was lovely. Parking spot was spacious. (I advise you call or message the host for driving directions-Google maps sent us on a tiny road that was not the correct way). It’s a fun 10 minute walk to town. It smells like jasmine and is so peaceful. We ate our meals on the terrace overlooking the sea. Spectacular all around!

and it was something beautiful, a fantastic view, the loving neighbors. A place surrounded by nature, among mountains and beautiful countryside. of course you have to have a vehicle to get around. 12 minutes from sea pacts. we had a great time and hope to be back

This home is beautiful! The pictures do not reflect how adorable this space truly is. In addition, this was the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. I was very impressed! I had a welcome bottle of wine, a beach bag provided packed with all beach necessities, toiletries galore, decor on point… truly a gem. The view from the apartment balcony is gorgeous. You can also go up 2 flights of stairs to the rooftop. This is the perfect location for restaurants and shops. For the beach, you can take a cable car down (€10 round trip), taxi, or most of the Lido/beach clubs have complimentary shuttles. Would highly recommend staying here!
