Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Gioiosa Marea

Lory's place is as described, the terrace is fantastic as are the views over the sea and to the horizon. There are a couple of good restuarants close by but you will need a car to fully enjoy the experience. A great quiet place to relax, unwind and get away from everyday life.

This a wonderful house. It is thoughtfully decorated and well equipped. The sea view from the orange and lemon grove is really beautiful. Some reviews have mentioned noise - not an issue, with the church bells being the main sound you hear! Caterina and Francesco were perfect hosts and made sure that our young family had a great stay.

Lele is an excellent hostess. The place matches the description perfectly. She has thoughtfully prepared a detailed instruction book with all the information we might need. Additionally, she provided us with plenty of helpful parking tips.

absolument incroyable ! everything is even better than the pictures! a beautiful home, as much as the view it offers us! the kitchen is very well equipped the house is clean rachele and her husband are adorable and answer all your questions. Our boat having been canceled we had to arrive later and the scooter rentals were closed, they came to pick us up from the port and brought us back on the day of our departure. we also had the chance to receive the visit from the cat who ended up giving us his presence for the stay. Thank you so much for everything! The best airbnb we've had! Paradise!

We loved staying with Luciano. Very kind and friendly. We loved the location - perfect for scario beach and the piazza and restaurants. A traditional style accommodation, simple, charming and clean. Sorry we ran out of time to try 'A Lumaredda' restaurant with its always friendly staff! We haven't stayed at Malfa before but definitely will again. Definitely check out Palazzo Marchese and the Museum of Aeolian Immigration while you are here! Also best supermarket on the island for variety and price and a fruiterer up the hill + some lovely people at the local butcher who not only have excellent meat but are patient and warm with customers. Also kids loved the turtles in Luciano's garden and so did we! We also made some beautiful new friends of our neighbours. :) Highly recommended. Grazie mille Luciano and Gianfranco

This is a luxury gem hidden away in a tranquil location. The only minus off season was that most restaurants <30 minutes away were closed (October) otherwise this place is magic, clean, newly refurbished, has all necessary amenities, incredibly private and has excellent hosts and goat farmer neighbors ;)

Excellent hosting by Tiziana, the accommodation is perfect, very clean and functional. Full of little touches from Tiziana, we made fresh orange juice, the kids enjoyed themselves. Very good coffee. We visited the Cape of Milazzo and took a trip to Stromboli, the location of the accommodation is perfect. Private parking for car. Small supermarket 30 seconds walk if needed. Thanks a lot

The apartment has a fantastic secluded location (with the landlords) in the mountains. The views from the garden are beautiful. In 2-3 km you are on Monte Ogliastro or Monte Veneretta, from where you can overlook the whole region. Fantastic! The terrace is large and completely fenced. Then comes the parking lot and then the beautiful fenced garden. The cats were very nice and there were no problems with the dog. Unfortunately, the cats were all very, very thin, at least 3 had severe diarrhea. The turtles in the garden had very bleak small enclosures and the dog was often locked away on the balcony. Unfortunately, pets usually have a bad life in Sicily. That made the vacation sad.

Beautiful villa at the base of Mt. Etna. Very large pool and garden. Nadia and her family are close by and very responsive / always willing to help. The location is great as it is close to the volcano and a 15 min drive to the beaches. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back!

Best place we have stayed in italy,and we have been going for several years. Marco was very attentive and helpful.. A real gem.

Very beautiful and peaceful place . The outside is beautiful and everything is very well maintained. Andrea is responsive and indicates all the places that are available in the area. The place is big enough for a family of 5 and we had a great time there. Thank you for everything.

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 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 .

We spent a 10 day vacation here as a group of friends. Already upon arrival we were overwhelmed by the beauty of property and surroundings: located in the beautiful lemon grove overlooking the slopes of Mount Etna and the sea. It couldn't get any better! Boredom never arose, the area offers a lot! However, a car is important. There was also always something to do on the property: beautiful pool, ping pong table, foosball, football or cooking in the great kitchen... and always fresh lemons. Maria Gulia and Angelo are super friendly and often helped us with tips and quick answers. The villa is an absolute recommendation!!

Beautiful villa located with a wonderful view over the valley and Castelbouno town. The house was great with bedrooms on three different floors and the garden was very nice with many different lounge and dining areas. The pool area has amazing view and a really nice pool, though no fence so small kids must be watched. This is a perfect location for day trips to Céfalu with surroundings and we also really enjoyed Castelbouno town. Rosanna and her husband (and the dog Amica) took great care of us and were always available if we needed anything. The only minor issue was that we had a few power outages, but that was quickly fixed. We had a great time and would love to come again!

We had a wonderful week in Patti - Lara’s home was the perfect base to explore the island from. Lara and Martina were extremely helpful, providing lots of recommendations for places to eat and visit. The pool is gorgeous, and there are balconies all around the house so you can chase the sun (or shade) throughout the day. We really can’t recommend this place enough.

I really can’t say enough great things about our stay! The communication with Miro was excellent from start to finish. The villa itself was beautiful, sparkling clean, and the panoramic views were breathtaking. The home was modern and beautifully decorated, and it was amazing how much detail went into making sure of a great experience. We got lots of great recommendations for restaurants and things to see and do. The location is wonderful and easy to day trip to many places which we did and then come back and enjoy lovely dinners in Capo d’Orlando. What a wonderful place and I highly recommend renting this villa for your next Sicilian vacation. Thanks Miro and I hope to see you again one day!

Amazing place!! So private, and beautiful. As it is somewhat remote, our hosts arranged for a taxi (which was included in the rent) from our ferry. Our driver waited for us to do our food shopping before whisking us off to the property. Once there, our host transported us and all our luggage to our private casita. There, we enjoyed the spacious views from our large terrace, our private swimming hole below, and nearby beach. One can see Stromboli on the left and Vulcano on the right, with its simmering crater. Sunrises over the ocean below. Our hosts Mariagrazia and Carlo were warm and welcoming. I would give Seven Stars if I could!!

We stayed here and were the only two guests in late April. We got a room upgrade and ate their delicious four course dinner. We felt really well taken care of and even got to see Etna clearly at night erupting - it was so cool! You really feel taken care of here I would highly recommend.

My two girlfriends and I had a wonderful two nights in the countryside, with so much thought and care put into our stay from our hosts. Arriving after a long drive we where welcomed with cake, tea, eggs, treats, everything essential to a comfortable first night and morning. Our booking included an entertaining and fun evening cooking local dishes with Nino and Dina and we enjoyed a lovely night together round the table with amazing food and drinks and sharing stories. What a pleasure this was and a great start to our holiday and to Sicily! We know some of the prior reviews mention the neighbours dogs barking, this was the case on one of the nights and sorted out with some earplugs, so we would advise this. It did not spoil our stay at all and we left full of joy at having met such wonderful people and having had such a great time. Thank you to our hosts for looking after us so well and we would recommend you book this wonderful experience if you are in Sicily!

Lovely stay in a beautiful, peaceful location with gorgeous pool, views of Mount Etna and easy access to Savoca, Taormina, Etna, Alcantara Gorge and the coast. Very nice breakfast by the pool on our last day. Highly recommended.

Small studio apartment with integrated kitchen and optically separate bathroom. Comfortable bed. There is a large, quiet terrace behind the house, which you may share with a 2nd living party. Located at the end of the village and from there about 7 minutes to a small beach.

Beautiful location, apartment with sea and mountain view. Very comfortable bed. Car can be parked at the door. A small and charming town. The perfect place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and a good starting point. I would come back:)

Robert was very friendly and always available for a chat. You can tell that his heart is on the house. Great, very well maintained and large garden with views of the Etna, orange, banana trees, palm trees. Really very nice and quiet.
