Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sicily

We enjoyed our stay. thank you!

Wow! From the moment we arrived Francesco and Cynthia made us feel welcome, at home and we left feeling like part of their family. The house is absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful, private section with everything we needed - including a lovely outdoor shower, table and chairs. The private pool was perfect for a dip after our day trip to Palermo. It’s just a few minutes walk to the beautiful Mondello beach, and lots of bars and restaurants. They responded to every request immediately - even driving to the supermarket to buy us bottles of water! Cynthia even wrote a plan for us when visiting Palermo - which we used and worked perfectly. We’ll remember this holiday forever because we got engaged on the trip. But also because we met such wonderful people and stayed in such a beautiful home - thank you Francesco and Cynthia! As promised, we will definitely be back one day ❤️

My husband and I, with our one year old, had an amazing time at Dario's! His apartment was pristine, so tastefully decorated and perfectly equipped with everything you might need. Location wise - could not be better! We are already discussing when we will return. We could not recommend this more!

The house is beautifully situated on a small hill. The garden is laid out with an incredible amount of love. We enjoyed every second there!! Margherita, her partner and her father are absolutely warm hosts and welcomed us very kindly. The house is equipped with everything you need. A special highlight is the heated whirlpool with a view of the valley We would love to come back!!❤️

We stayed at Lampeduso for 3 nights and it definitely wasn’t long enough. It’s such a great Airbnb in a perfect location. Palermo is such an interesting city, with its mix of cultures and all its gritty charm. The palace was perfect. It rained for two of the days we were there, but because the villa was so fantastic, the weather didn’t affect us at all. The place is huge, with great amenities that made a big difference—washer and dryer for our soaked clothes, umbrellas ready to go, and plenty of space to enjoy a good card game. When the sun did come out, we spent early evenings on the patio next to the pool. Honestly, the villa alone makes us want to return to Palermo.

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!

lovely host lovely place we had a great time

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.

To go back with your eyes closed, one of the Dammusi of the island with the best view; the kitchen, the rooms, the furnishings really have everything you need. Host Maria is really helpful and ready. As soon as the orange water light turned on, Maria called the bus that came to fill in 48 hours; the beds are comfortable and there is even an extra mattress for additional guests . We were very satisfied. We don't think we can find better on the island.

There was a problem with the water in the apartment we had booked so Giuseppe had swapped us into one of his other apartments before arrival. It was beautiful and spacious, the decor was lovely. One of the nicest apartments we have stayed at in our Sicily trip. Licata itself is more of a working port, the location of the apartment is lovely, however it is not the most touristic of areas when you venture further out from the main part . Giuseppe sent us some excellent recommendations for restaurants and bars, and the harbor away from the commercial area is lovely.

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

This is probably the best stay we have ever had abroad. We were lucky to find Margo and Johanns place at the last minute, and it was absolutely wonderful. Even before arriving they sent us so many helpful tips, and were very welcoming and responsive. They had many recommendations for us for what to see and do. The house itself is clean and perfect for a family. The kitchen had everything we needed and more! The beds are comfy and the shower is pleasant. The outdoors is not possible to describe. Swimming in the infinitypool makes you feel like you are swimming straight into the Mountains and olivetrees. Many nice places to sit both morning and evening. I can not recommend this enough. The place is beautiful and peaceful. The best part however is the hospitality and helpfulness, that we were met with. We had the best time!

Without question the best Airbnb property experience and owner communications I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy. From long ago when I first booked followed by the month before the rental, Marco was responsive to the little things which made a good property great. Our family of three generations—68, 67, 43, 39, 4 were fully accommodated by Marco’s home. Our 4YO even learned to swim in the upper tier’s pool (1.4m deep w ladder). We had a wonderful meal prepared by Marco’s attorney sister Gaia our 4th night, and it exceeded even the great restaurants where we dined daily in Cefalù ( Pasta e Pasté, Lo Scoglio Ubriaco, Tinchité, and Oateria Bacchus in Sant’Ambrogio). Upon our arrival the kitchen was fully stocked with charcuterie, eggs, cheeses, olives, bread, beer, wine, and all manner of spices, seasonings, and butter. You’ll need to buy drinking water at Decó Supermercato but there was a lot in the villa to start. The driveway is steep so you’ll need to get used to it.

Highly recommend staying at this quaint Airbnb. Close to charming Lascari and a short drive away from the beaches of Cefalu. Kheli was very welcoming and took great care of us!

Carlo's accommodation was very quiet with a beautiful view of the sea. The check-in with Carlos' mother was very warm and uncomplicated despite language barriers (on both sides). All rooms are super clean and the kitchen is well equipped. Unfortunately, there is no AC for the bedroom(s), which is why it can get very warm in warmer temperatures. The terrace is shared with Carlos' uncle Alfredo, who is only outside for a few minutes a day. Alfredo is good at German, is very likeable and always up for a chat. He was never there overnight. The surroundings are beautiful, but not very touristy, which is why it is recommended to book a rental car and learn a word or two of Italian.

We had a wonderful vacation in Anna's beautiful vacation home in Macari. The apartment is great and everything you need is available. The view from the terrace is unique, to enjoy the sunset every evening. The garden in front of the house is like an oasis and everything is very well maintained and very clean. Anna is a very nice and warm hostess who made us feel welcome. The boat trip (including swimming and snorkeling) she recommended was the absolute highlight of our vacation. It is also great that we were able to visit many sights from Macari, such as Selinunte or the beautiful town of Erice. We can only highly recommend the stay in Anna's house and thank her warmly for it!

The Mortilla AirBnB from Francesca and Lorenzo is a gem in mountains of Sicily. The small house we stayed in exceeded our expectations in many regards. It is truly beautiful and private, perfect if you're looking for rest both for body and soul. One of our highlights, besides the beautiful gardens and the amazing pool is the wonderful view you have from all of the property. The best of la Mortilla and of our stay though were the wonderful hosts Francesca and Lorenzo! Their welcoming and worm style of hosting ist something truly special and we spent some wonderful time together! We definitely recommend trying their orange wine and great food during a shared dinner. When we got in trouble with a broken tire Lorenzo was there immediately to help us solve the problem. That we felt taken care of is an understatement. We plan to come back soon and if we could give 7 Stars we would! ;)

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.

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.

We had a great time staying at the large spacious villa. A real nice view from the terrace on the pool and sea and garden! Very friendly and helpful host Guiseppe. I can really recommend this beautiful villa!

Lovely stay thank you for hosting us

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.

This was an exceptional place! The host was very friendly, told us about the history of the place, and didn't mind placing an extra bed (we were 7, but on Airbnb it was mentioned that it's only for 6 people), which we are very grateful for. The building and surroundings are so beautiful we decided to cancel our planned small trips to the neighbouring cities and chill next to the pool! 10 out of 10! We will definitely come back 💛

Thank you Gabriella and Alfio our 9 day vacation was made even more special with your kind hospitality and beautiful location of you accommodation. The highlight of our visit was Alfio’s Etna tour and Gabriella’s picnic which was worth every penny and we were so privileged to see Etna showing off her awesome power. You will need a car to get around, we had a medium sized vehicle but wish I we had downsized to a more normal small car the street are ‘narrow’! The local produce was a really nice touch and Gabriella’s communication made everything really easy and reassuring.
