Family-friendly holiday rentals in Metropolitan city of Catania

Sergio’s villa was the most beautiful place that we have ever stayed. Olive and citrus trees right in the yard and pristine views of Mount Etna. Restaurants, coffee, shops, and pharmacies were all within short walks from the home. I would stay again in a heartbeat, if Sergio would have us.

Thank you very much. We had a great stay.

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.

Our stay in Sicily was truly unforgettable! The house had a beautiful character, filled with charming details that made it feel like a home. The garden was a stunning oasis, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the warm Sicilian evenings. Our host, Carlo, was exceptional—always available to answer questions and provide recommendations. The highlight of our trip was the incredible five-course Sicilian dinner Carlo organized for us, showcasing the region's delicious cuisine. Each dish was a delight! The location itself is a must-visit, with breathtaking views and rich culture all around. We felt immersed in the beauty and warmth of Sicily. Highly recommend this lovely spot for anyone looking to experience the best of the island!

Amazing place, friendly and super helpful. You need a car to get around. We loved the living area, pool, all the cute animals.

Charming farm house with beautiful views. We recommend paying extra to dine in for breakfast and dinner as the food was lovely.

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 villa up on the slopes. Drive up to the villa can be a little daunting at first but you get used to it after the first couple of times! The views is incredible, waking up to see the sunrise every day was lovely. Hot tub was great in the cooler evenings. Location is decent when you consider you can take the train from Mascali to pretty much anywhere on the East coast. Just have to factor in the drive (15 mins) or walk (1 Hour) when taking the train. Otherwise you're not far from the main road E45. The kitchen is beautiful, we all loved cooking in their, and the common space big enough to be spacious for 9 people. The icing on the cake was the pizza party, Alberto brings ingredients and dough for the pizzas and you get to make/bake them yourselves.

We had a wonderful stay here! The town can be reached by bus or taxi, but make sure you’re not travelling on a public holiday (like us!) The apartment is tidy and quite spacious, and the balcony is perfect! The kitchen has everything you need with some lovely gifts of local produce left by the host. The town is beautiful and walkable, we came just before fireworks festival and were able to see some amazing local displays of celebration. The bells on the church ring out every 15 minutes between 6am and 10pm, but we were enjoyed the sound. The hosts are so helpful and lovely - really good people Highly recommend

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!

The place is well ascetic, but everything you need is there. However, you'll need to buy your own tea, coffee, laundry supplies, and other everyday supplies that many homes have. So for a longer stay is fine. The location of this is great. Very close to Piazza del Duomo, supermkarkets, train station, bus station, everything is in the walking distance. A cabin on its own gives you a nice privacy and cozy stay.

Spending one night at Silvana & Cesare's place, and talking with Cesare, allowed us to have a glimpse of the life in a small Italian mountain town. We had dinner at the only bar in town, where locals meet to play cards; Piera cooked a wondeful meal for us (try her canoli!!!). The apartment was fully equiped for dining there if prefered. Silvana filled the refrigerator with oranges, milk, burro, mermelade. A good coffee machine, pastries and toasts completed our breakfast. Lovely people and the experience of climbing up the small town was most worth it!!!! We highly recomend staying at Silvana's!!!!

We found the accommodation very nice, there was nothing to complain about. We received a very warm welcome and the accommodation was very clean. The garden was our highlight, we had so much space and peace and quiet. There were no people around us and yet the accommodation was a good starting point for exploring Sicily. Many thanks for the lovely hospitality, we would love to come back.

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!

Great place to spend several days in Catania. Beautiful home, where you get the feel of real living in this beautiful city. Parking almost always available. Kitchen has everything (besides the breathtaking view on Etna), though it might get warm in the high summer under the sun. Thank you for this stay!

Accommodation located in the center of Catania. Great location. All activities, restaurants or bars are within walking distance. Giuseppe is very friendly and available. Highly recommend the space.

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!

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.

Beautifully Sicilian equipped space. Terraces for every room. A large spacious equipped kitchen with a terrace. Stones of the wall and floor, with no heating quite cold (in March). The only downside - mold on the ceiling in one of the two bathrooms. The neighborhood is quite noisy. In fact, the neighborhood is generally pleasant, right under Etna, so it is a great place and Giarre is a small town not so touristy, so you will experience such a normal day of the Sicily resident.

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 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!

We had a wonderful stay at this place! The hosts were just lovely, always ready to do a favor and very welcoming. Their kindness and availability made the experience even more enjoyable. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and as described. I highly recommend this place and would love to come back! A nice peaceful and pleasant place. Thanks Giuseppe and family!!

It’s been a pleasure staying at this sweet little house and enjoying the calm garden with the pool. The area is very good to discover the Etna and every other old crater that is situated close by. Warm recommendation, Ida has been a lovely host. ☺️

The large swimming pool is very clean and beautiful. The bedroom is clean and spacious. I really like it here.And also parking is free.
