Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Giardini Naxos

We have been using Airbnb for many years now, so when we meet very good hosts we recognise them straight away. Agatino is naturally able to make you feel welcome, the villa is very elegant and the garden is very well maintained with a very nice view of the vignard. Nothing was missing inside the house and we actually didn’t know that breakfast was included, so a nice bonus. In other words we only stayed two nights but we wish we had stayed longer.I hope we will have a chance to come back again.

Very comfortable beds. Lovely decor. Excellent host. 5 min walk (steps) to shops and restaurants. Do not hesitate to book.

Now I understand the fuss about Taormina. The town and Laura’s place were spectacular. A gracious host!

Every detail of this house tells of a past time, made of calm and simplicity. A cozy, comfortable and complete home with every comfort.

The apartment was a great option for us to stay long-term in Sicilia outside the bigger cities but still close. We enjoyed our stay so much as it is calm with a beautiful view from the balcony, a fireplace inside and so many cozy corners. The flat has everything you need, is well equipped (really enjoyed the beamer for movies and the sound system for music) and Angelo was always so helpful. Acireale has very nice cafés and restaurants and after some days you get familiar with the surroundings and staff starts greeting you as it becomes a regular place. The station is a bit far but nontheless we enjoyed the walk there and so many other cities and places (including Etna, Catania…) are reachable within minutes or hours from there.

Great stay! Enjoyed the nautical theme of the house. Large space the great nearby access to Mt Etna and Catania. Thank you for hosting our family on this trip!!

The house is as described. Very clean and with everything you need. The area is very quiet and with all the comforts nearby. Our stay was perfect and we will definitely be back

Everything was perfect! We had a great time at Etna's! We especially enjoyed the garden which is just beautiful! 🤩 Thank you for everything!

This place is super clean and cozy, with a terrific view of both the Etna volcano and the seashore. You could have both shimmering dots along the coast and the flaming mountain summit - if you're lucky enough. The supermarket is easy to reach and the airbnb is close to the city center. Chiara is super reliable and responds quickly. Angela is super nice as well. I would definitely recommend this house to you!

We had a great time on your apartment- would definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for a high quality retreat. The apartment is located in walking distance to down town aci Trezza and has an amazing view of the ocean. It was great to have private parking as we wouldn’t have felt too comfortable having the rental car on the side of the road. Niky was fast to respond if we had any questions regarding the apartment or the area. One thing we would recommend is having firewood for the indoor fireplace at hand for future visitors- as spending time looking for right kind of firewood could have been avoided. Thank you for a great time!

The views from this fifth floor apartment are gorgeous. The place was clean, spacious and comfortable for our large family. The area was safe and very easy to walk to the central area for shopping and dining. We loved our brief stay in Taormina.

I can’t say more good things about Sabrina’s place. We practically lived out on the balcony but the interior was also beautiful, immaculate, clean, and carefully curated with beautiful and local decor. We lived in a dream this week! Sabrina was also extremely communicative and provided great recommendations as well! She gave us a tour when we arrived and was so pleasant. Check out was made so easy having to do nothing with sheet or trash too. The pull out couch was made when we arrived and is in the bed room, allowing for the living room couches to still be used. It was comfy, cozy, and had everything we needed. Including an unbeatable view and balcony. Grazie millie!!!

We stayed for a week at 6 people on the upstairs part of the house. The apartment does not fully match the photos since a bedroom has been added to the living room … but the living room remains very spacious. There were no shutters ( and no opaque curtains in the living room) which is a shame when you sleep in the living room and the sun rises at 6 a.m. ... and especially to cut off the sun when it's very hot . The kitchen was not sufficiently equipped rather rustic Thankfully Sonia was responsive to our requests. The A/C was essential but not good enough to refresh the rooms. I would say that the apartment is worth it for the terrace and the view of Taormina and the tranquility if there are people on the ground floor ( this apartment must be more suitable for a long stay). The exteriors are really magical and very enjoyable during the heatwave they are also very well maintained .

If Sicily was an apartment - this would be it. It is lovely, very well decorated and gives you the full sicilian feeling. The terrace is very useful, you have the view on the sea and the mountains and it is large enough for all activities. Private and gated parking in front of the building, very easy to park safely. The host had all of the qualities of a good host - on time, responsive, willing to help, even gave us a small gift for easter. If you come here you will have a nice apartment, a friendly host and a good experience overall.

I stayed at Francesca's place for a week. The house is in a perfect location, very close to lidl, supermarkets and shopping centers. Just 10 minutes by car from the center of Catania (for the type of trip I had in mind it was a perfect house) plus it is slightly raised on a hill, and on the warm days of August we had the pleasure of breathing some fresh air! 15 minutes from the house are also beautiful sea areas (such as "the caves of Ulysses"). Francesca is very helpful and open to dialogue! Overall a positive experience!!

We stayed at Elvira’s wonderful home for four days, from April 22 to April 26. Elvira is the perfect example of a kind and responsible host, always ready to assist with any question or need. The house is beautiful, located right in front of the sea and the promenade, offering a breathtaking view — it truly feels like watching a piece of paradise. Parking was never an issue, as there was always plenty of space right in front of the house. In this lovely small town, people are incredibly kind, and we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Hearing the beautiful Italian language all around made the experience even more special. Elvira constantly checked in to make sure everything was perfect, even when we didn't need anything — her attention to detail was remarkable. We will definitely come back and highly recommend her home to all our friends. Thank you for everything, dear Elvira — we look forward to seeing you again soon!

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!!!!

This place is a gem. For the 11 of us we found it perfect. The house is wonderful and was great to just lay around the pool and relax. But was also a good base for day trips. You’ll want a rental car.

We had the most lovely stay! The place is truly charming and you get the feeling of living in a Sicilian luxury home near a small charming town. The hosts, Giuseppe and Giulia, are warm and caring and highly service minded. They go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant, and to ensure that you see all the gems the area have to offer. We were welcomed at the villa with plates of local specialities and they even delivered desserts some nights. They picked us up at the train station when we arrived and arranged car hire. So, you’ll be in very good hands if you choose to stay here! The villa is nothing short of spectacular! Amazing view from the balcony, olive and citrus fruit trees in the back garden and a well equiped kitchen. It is nice clean and it is evident that Giuseppe and Giulia take great care of the place. In short: we highly recommend this place if you want laid back vacation with all that you need, local sicilian atmosphere and a heartwarming service.

This villa is perfect for a family stay. It’s a beautiful escape from the city, but conveniently located within an hour drive from Taormina and catania. The hospitality that Isabella and her husband showed in preparing the villa for our family’s needs and helping to coordinate activities for us to do was the icing on top of the cake. Would absolutely stay here again

I, my wife and our 10-11 month baby had a fantastic one month stay at Villa Britannia. The beautiful villa had everything we looked for: great location, a lovely garden (in which "The Snake" by DH Lawrence was written), a big kitchen (great for perfecting Pasta alla Norma), seaview and parking (the large garage could easily fit our quite long estate car). Louisa and her husband Marco are lovely people and provided service on a far higher level than most Airbnb-hosts. Any minor issues were quickly sorted out. Louisa would bring us wines to try and proactively let us know about events in town or traffic challenges, as well as giving great recommendations and help with any problem. We were provided with a baby cot, a baby bath, several (!) baby chairs and lots of toys. Could not ask for more. We really hope to be back one day!

Had a wonderful time at Francesco's place! He and Giovanna were very welcoming and generous hosts, sharing local recommendations and even some home made wine! The pool was the perfect spot to cool off after a hot day and the house was well placed for excursions to Etna. Thank you both for a delightful stay !

This is probably the most beautiful property I've ever had on Airbnb (and I've stayed in a lot). The house feels like someone's home -- perfectly decorated and maintained, full of personal touches, comfortable furniture, and fully equipped kitchen/bathrooms, etc. Even the considerable landscaping is mature, lush, and beautifully kept. And the view from the multiple patios is just spectacular -- the mountains, sea, the Calabrian coast across the strait, and the cable car quietly whizzing by. And while the location is tranquil and scenic, it's still a really convenient location. We never moved the car during our stay -- it was an easy walk down to the beach or uphill into the center of town. The separate casita was a great feature for added privacy within our group. The hosts were communicative and welcoming. I can't recommend this property highly enough.

Mara’s place is one of the most beautiful Air BNB settings I have stayed in. The gardens, pool, patio area - it’s absolutely majestic! We did a family trip with 11 people and it was the perfect amount of space (4 couples and 3 teenagers). My parents were able to have their own separate quarters (an old pool house?) that was adorable! The house was clean and comfortable. When we had questions or needed something Mara would be there in 5 min. Our last night, we felt the rumbles of Mt Etna and sat by the pool as we watched her lava flow! We had the best trip and stay and highly recommend staying in one of Mara’s beautiful homes!
