Family-friendly holiday rentals in Mascalucia

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

This is one of our favorite stops on our honeymoon through Sicily. Dorotea's place was even more beautiful than the pictures!! The view from the terrace was stunning!! Dorotea allowed us to check in early, and met us there to show us around the place and the property. She was so friendly and gave us a lot of advice for the area for places to eat and things to do. This was a great location to walk to Isola Bella and Mazzarro beach, as well up as to the town. Dorotea was also very helpful and responsive to our messages before we arrived. We hope to return soon, and would love to stay at Dortoea's place for a longer stay next time!

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.

We are a family of 9 adults and 4 children. This property served us quite well. The pool is beautiful! The adults and children enjoyed it very much. The scenic views are breathtaking. And the home itself, is so unique in a very “cool” way. We all loved the turret and the kids loved the space to wander. Salvo was very responsive and quickly took care of replacing a broken fan. Giulia was very helpful and quick responding back to questions. Also, gave us great recommendations for dining, etc. that were very helpful. Definitely would recommend Villa Eremo Sant’emilia!

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.

Cinzia is a wonderful host, and the home is outstanding — so peaceful and full of charm. We had a truly great time there and would love to return for a longer stay. Thank you for such a lovely experience! ♥️

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 .

Great apartment with everything you need to enjoy your holiday. Perfect beach location. Restaurants and supermarket very close. Maria is a great host, making you feel very welcome ready for your Sicilian adventure.

We stayed 2 weeks and it was a great base for exploring the east side of Sicily and Etna. A hire car is essential as the apartment is located in a quiet spot away from the main centres. The apartment itself was spacious and comfortable with great views from the wrap around balcony. The swimming pool was a real bonus - we made use of it most days. Salvatore & Antonio were very helpful and responsive to requests (many thanks!). Highly recommended if, like us, you are looking for a peaceful getaway.

Very good location, tidy house! It is in a good location to explore Catania here and there. The surroundings are clean, and the view from the window is beautiful! The arancini they recommended was also delicious!

We had a fantastic few days at Marco's house. Very spacious, well located, with parking near the property. Everything was excellent.

It was a lovely place and very easy to get to the main tourist spots and harbour. Paola gave us great recommendations for restaurants and things to do nearby.

Perfect place to stop after collecting our hire car from Catania airport. I little hard to park but all went smoothly

Michaela was very friendly and the House is very nice!

One of the cleanest Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed in. The location is really good and the apartment matches the photos. The host made sure to think about everything one can possibly need, including a hair straightener 🙈. The apartment was close to the bus station from the airport and from a big bus station where you can take the bus to Syracuse as well. The city Center is pretty close and there are lots of good restaurants 7-10 minutes walking distance from the apartment. I highly recommend this accommodation in Catania!

Everything from the booking to check in and recommendations was great!!! But the best part was the view. 5 stars…we loved our stay and already want to return

Lovely, well presented villa in peaceful location, a short drive away from Belpasso. Jay, Maria and Joel were incredible hosts. They lived next door, so even though we had total privacy, they were on hand to offer advice and recommendations on where to visit in the local area and further afield, should we need. A bonus addition was Digby, the family dog, who was a lovely companion with a great personality. Villa Segreta has great views of Mount Etna, which erupted on the second night of our stay! Would highly recommend. Great location and friendly hosts. Would like to visit again, should we get the opportunity to.

Gorgeous house, excellent location, and such gracious hosts! Daniele and his parents were both lovely. The space is clean and has everything we needed. The pool is the perfect afternoon relaxing spot. It’s well kept and very clean, which we can only imagine a huge feat considering the volcanic ashes! We also went up Mt Etna with Daniele. He’s a great guide as well! Overall 10/10 recommend.

Right from the start, our hosts went above & beyond to make sure my family had a wonderful first visit to Sicily. Our overnight flight arrived early in the morning, and they were able to accommodate an early check-in, complete with a tour of the apartment’s bedrooms, bathrooms, and two terraces. They showed us around the building, made sure we knew how to access to the pool, and gave us clear instructions for how to get in and out of the garage and pedestrian entrances. They even went so far as to make dinner reservations for us that ensured our 11th wedding anniversary was spectacular and surprised us with a bottle of champagne in the refrigerator. The two bedrooms were perfect for our family of three, and they provided a crib and bed linens for our son. The terraces were incredible, with unobstructed views of the water. The air conditioning was also essential in the hot Sicilian summer. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Taormina

Alessandra’s property just north of Viagrande was an excellent location for us to explore Mt Etna and surrounding towns. Alessandra was a great communicator and accommodated our late check in after an evening flight into Catania. Our children enjoyed exploring the grounds of the property but the guest house itself is quite rustic (which was fine for us).

We had a lovely stay at Michele’s place. The accommodation was clean, spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. The large outdoor space made our holiday really special. Michele keeps the garden beautifully neat and tidy, and the surrounding area is very peaceful, so it was a pleasure to spend time outside. We had lots of fun in the swimming pool, although it was a bit on the cool side when we were there at the end of May. The little terrace area was a real sun trap, so ideal for sun bathing and warming up after a dip. The lawn is shaded by beautiful mature trees, which must be lovely in the hotter months. The property is close to Etna National Park and as well as doing a guided trip up Etna, we had some lovely hikes in the foothills and lower slopes of the mountain. (I downloaded the AllTrails app to find local walks). Michele was a very considerate host and always ready to help with anything we needed. All in all, it is one of the best properties we have stayed in.

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!

Beautifully renovated rooms with original features. Stunning pool setting. Very helpful and friendly host. Good base for Etna and Catania. Would like to return at some point. Thanks very much!
