Villa vacation rentals in Messina

This is the most beautiful villa: well maintained, wonderful hosts, fully stocked with most everything you would need. The location is very good for exploring this part of the island and the views of the sea on one side, and Etna on the other is really remarkable. The hot tub and pool are amazing and the space is very well organized with large rooms and plenty of common areas.

A beautiful villa with old-world charm yet modern feeling. Amazing views of both the ocean and Etna. Well maintained gardens and grounds, with a lovely pool and sitting area. Pino and Viviana were always quick to respond and helpful. Truly a special place

The villa is beautiful and even more beautiful than the pictures. Very large, spaces for everyone's privacy (we were 3 couples and 1 solo adult + 4 teens), a beautiful pool, well equipped. Maria Louisa and Carlo are very proactive, always attentive and available. The villa is quiet, a 10-minute walk to the black sand beach and 20 minutes to the port. Carlo picked us up and helped us with the luggage. Vulcano is very pleasant and preserved.

This was a beautiful and peaceful place to stay with amazing views over the sea-stunning. There are lovely terraces to relax on and to enjoy the peace and tranquillity and views.The house is very comfortable with plenty of space for our group of five adults. All the bedrooms were comfortable with lovely crisp cotton bedding and the kitchen was well equipped.The beach is a 15 minute quite steep walk away and is very secluded with good swimming. Mariagrazia was there to welcome us and our luggage was transported down quite a steep track to the house. She was incredibly helpful throughout our stay and always very quick to respond-thank you! She was especially helpful on the last day when our ferry transport was disrupted by bad weather. We would highly recommend this as a place to stay-it was hard to leave!

This is a genuine amazing place. We love it and were so happy to be back!

A+++ perfect location very peaceful stay

Villa Magnolia is simply beautiful. It has a "holiday" spirit with its kitchen and outdoor dining room. The whole house is tastefully decorated. Everything is clean. The bedding is of very good quality and the air conditioning allows a restful rest. It is located in a quiet place, but close to everything. We were very well received by Giampiero who answered all our requests. We will return with pleasure.

We spent two nights at Tatiana and Giancarlo's place. The place has everything you need and Tatiana was incredibly helpful. We were also sent a brochure with helpful information about the place and what Tatiana could help with. The place is 5 to 10 minutes walking a lot of stairs up to the city center and the gondola of Mazzaro and the villa itself is sheltered from the noise of the city. There is also a great pool area on the property that you can use if desired. Everything was clean and the apartment appeared very exclusive in the furnishings and decor. There is good and sheltered parking at the property. We recommend the place and had a wonderful stay.

This villa is not a modern hotel but a grand estate reminiscent of the aristocracy of Italy; private, but living within the culture of the surrounding area. The grounds are lush and gated with a very large swimming pool. A car is necessary to get to other cities and/or bus stops/train stations. The GPS on our personal phones was excellent and useful in traveling around Sicily. Our hosts, Francesco and Maria, were warm and genteel. They live on the premises next to the villa so access to their assistance and advice was always available via phone, AirBNB and What's App. The beds are antique and amazingly comfortable - a recommendation would be to have additional pillows available for those who may not be back sleepers. We had 7 women from our bookclub back home and it sleeps 13 so there is plenty of space for a larger group. We would stay at the villa again if we do go back to Sicily. We had a great time!!!!

Outside the city, this location is gorgeous with magnificent views, but it would be hard to travel without our rental car. The hosts were uniquely attentive, communicative, considerate, and generous. I wish I could say the location was quiet and peaceful, but the neighbor's honking geese and relentlessly barking dogs forced us inside in the mornings. That is one of few things we would wish different, in addition to the steep front walkway and stairwell, and complex garbage rules. However, we enjoyed the luxurious pool and panoramic terraces daily. The large overhang by the pizza oven allowed us to even appreciate the rainy days. The spacious kitchen and Sicilian-styled open layout allowed for family dinners and comfortable hang-outs. Brief maintenance visits by Giuseppe and Giulia occurred at 7:00 daily, but they kindly did not enter the house. Any questions were immediately answered, and requests carefully met. Overall, we felt welcomed, cared-for, appreciated, and unfettered.

Everything was perfect. Emanuele is very responsive and accommodating. The villa is amazing, great location, great view, very well equipped (swimming pool, barbecue, parking space etc.). We were a group of 14 and had a great time. I highly recommend it!

Great host, very attentive. Place was a paradise!

This is wonderful property with a spectacular view. The Pool is superb and gardens beautifully maintained. We didn’t mind the stairs up to the entrance but I can understand this might bother some people. Well appointed kitchen and plenty of spaces to sit and enjoy the view.

Casa di Regina is a beautiful and a lovely respite in busy Taormina! Lawrence, the owner, and Luca, the property manager, were extremely responsive to all of our questions. They provided us with lots of recommendations and help for things to do, restaurants, transportation. It is tucked away off the main street in Taormina and is in a perfect location to explore Taormina and the area. It has a lovely courtyard, the inside is gorgeous, the amenities and furnishings so beautiful and had just the right amount of space for two couples traveling together. The bedrooms were a good size and comfortable for both couples. Having a washer and dryer was a huge bonus. Luca went above and beyond and did some light food and beverage shopping for us before our arrival. The unit was ready early and we were able to check in when our train arrived midday. Casa di Regina exceeded all our expectations and we loved it. We would 100% go back again and recommend it!

The house is simply fabulous. The architectural design is beautiful. A modern design where everything has been thought of - super bathrooms, bedrooms with excellent beds and storage. A truly great kitchen. The air conditioning is zoned - works quietly and well with simple controls. The pool and outside area is great - sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon. The house is clearly a home designed & completed to the highest standards - not something made with rental in mind. It's a premium priced property that definitely is worth its price. Location is great too. One block from the beach and very close to multiple bars, restaurants and lidos. The public beach is huge - not taken up with private lidos. Letojanni is a very Italian seaside spot. EUR1 gets you on to a bus to Taormina in about 7 minutes. The buses are regular and run until gone midnight. Why drive?

Amazing villa that matched perfectly the expected when we booked. Excellent service from Danilo & his wife from check in to check out, very helpful and always available. They’ve met all our requirements, that as we were travelling with kids were very important for us. Definitely an unbelievable stay in a stunning premises and beautiful place. Highly recommended and we are very much looking forward to come back. We enjoyed every moment of our trip. Thank you very much for that!

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.

We had a great stay at Giuliana's home. The pictures do not do justice to the amazing view from the terrace and gardens, where you can literally see for miles. The pool was beautiful and we managed to swim a little even though it was cold in April, but it was worth it to look at the view from the pool. We warmed up in the lovely warm pool house afterwards! Giuliana and Davide were really helpful hosts and gave us advice on local restaurants and shops. The location is peaceful and feels remote, but we were able to travel up to Etna easily by car, and also to Taormina for a day. Our children also made friends with the local cats who turned up daily during our stay! We loved our stay and would not hesitate to come back.

Lovely Airbnb in a private compound. Walkable to the little village of Santa Tecla and to a Hotel with a nice Lido. Paolo was a great host and very responsive throughout the stay.

The house located in a truly peaceful and relaxing place, with lemon trees and olive trees around; the house is very beautiful and lovely, with lovely flowers around the garden, and smell really good. Vanessa and her family are very kind and nice, provided us everything we need. It's easy to drive to so many nice restaurants nearby, and very close to several towns and cities. We had a wonderful week here!

Antonino’s house is the perfect base from which to explore this exceptionally beautiful part of Sicily. Taormina, Mount Etna and Savoca are all a short drive away. You can escape back from the tourist spots to this Oasis with picture postcard views and every amenity you could ask for. Antonino is a gracious host with a love for growing fruit and vegetables in his garden under the villa and sharing this produce with his guests. We were treated to home made limoncello, olive oil, passion fruit and mandarins, as well as one of his renowned barbecues which included some of the most delicious swordfish and mussels I have eaten. Santa Teresa de Riva is a pretty Sicilian seaside town with multiple cafes and restaurants where you can rub shoulders with the locals and try the specialties of the region. You will experience a far more authentic Sicily here than in the neighbouring tourist Mecca of Taormina. I highly recommend a stay at Antonino’s house. It was everything we could have hoped for

We had a lovely stay at Villa Ambra. As others have mentioned in previous reviews, the place looks better than in the pictures. It was clean and had a very nice outdoor area with a pool, sunbeds, dining area, grill and table tennis. We had to check in very late, but that was no problem which was very nice. We would also like to recommend the taxi driver Carmelo and his son Luca, recommended by the host of the villa (his card is in the villa). Carmelo was like our private guide every time we needed to go somewhere and told us a lot about the history of Naxos, Taormina and Castelmola. On the final day he took us to Siracusa for a day trip, which we highly recommend!

A great home away from home for the Christmas Holiday. The kitchen was amazing and allowed for us to make all our traditional Christmas dishes. Furthermore, the living room was cozy. The couch was perfect and allowed multiple people to curl up and watch Christmas movies. Additionally, the gaming room provided much needed space for board games, karaoke, puzzles, and reading. The house was immaculate, and our host was absolutely wonderful. We showed up late the first evening and our host made traditional Sicilian delicacies for us to eat. The arancini were delicious. I would 100% come back, especially in the summer so I can enjoy their beautiful pool. 100% recommend.

Carla’s place is a gem in paradise.
