Smoking-friendly vacation rentals in Villa San Giovanni

A BEAUTIFUL view of Taormina and mount Etna. The place was lovely, with amazing views and a nice open kitchen/living room. Both the kitchen and bedroom had doors out to the patio which was stunning. My only note is that it’s kind of located in a “no man’s land” of food/groceries and takes some serious hill climbing to get to each. But that’s also just part of Taormina and we expected it, so it was no problem for us.

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!

Great for a couple. From the beautiful terrace overlooking the Bay of Taormina!

We had a lovely holiday in Paolo's apartment, which is cozy, clean and with everything we needed. Near supermarket and center of town. Lovely terrace and quiet location. Paolo is very committed and easy to connect with. We will definitely choose this apartment again if we are going to Taormina another time.

Roberto welcomed us very warmly, the house is very clean and cozy and there is a great restaurant nearby, there is a church near the house with a very nice view, very recommended, if I return to Sicily next time, I will choose to stay in this house again!

Fabulous, breathtaking views from a wonderful terrace. The apartment is well located away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets but close enough to walk. Aykut was on hand if we needed anything and we had a nice bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. We loved our short stay and will definitely come back for a longer visit in the future.

I would recommend this place, we were very well received by Manuel who even helped me with my suitcase. The accommodation matches the photos, very clean, well decorated and equipped. It is perfect for 2 and is ideally located: close to a supermarket and 5 min walk to the main street of Taormina, while being in a quiet area.

It's an amazing village! And Cesare is a great host! The arancini at 20m are super good, the bar is typical and friendly, and there are very nice walks all around. My only regrets: not staying longer, and not speaking Italian well to be able to communicate with the inhabitants of the village who are very friendly.

Our experience was super positive! The house is in a unique potion, between the coast and Etna and therefore enjoys an incredible view. The apartments are comfortable and the pool is huge, relax assured. But the thing that made the difference was the availability and kindness of Floriana and Mario who made us feel "at home", helping us reach the villa as soon as you arrive and giving us tips on the surroundings. Ps: I also want to emphasize that I forgot my glasses and the owner offered to send them to me at her expense! I recommend everyone to stay in this wonderful villa!

very nice place and accommodation. You wake up to the sound of the waves of the sea. Alessandro is a very kind and always available host. It was like being at home, but with an even more beautiful sea view

Extremely beautiful second house, it exudes class; private entrance gate with long driveway with fruit tree to house. Elegantly designed house which fits in the area on a mountainside, surrounded by large garden full of old olive trees. The owner is super told when explaining the house that olive oil in the kitchen comes from your own garden and not to be concerned if it runs out, there is more. Furthermore, there is terrace around the house both in the sun or out of the sun. Excess of kitchen items, fine oven and BBQ. Enjoy the sun.

We had a wonderful time at Manuela's place! The house is fantastically beautifully decorated and the garden is simply breathtaking – including unforgettable views of Mount Etna, which we were even able to experience in action. The surrounding area also offers great excursion possibilities: we especially loved the beach on Isola Bella with the cable car ride to Taormina as well as our day at the Alcantara Gorge. Manuela surprised us with loving attentions such as oranges and small Easter nests, which immediately made us feel welcome. Thank you so much for the great hospitality – we will be happy to come back!

A simple but beautiful villa with plenty of space, several terraces and a beautiful and unobstructed view of the sea. From there you can explore the area on foot or by car and you can discover something new every day. Be it the Castello, the Capo Milazzo or the old and new center of the city. The house is simply furnished, not up to date, but this also has its charm. Yes, there are no real showers or air conditioning, but this has been made up for by the view, the spacious garden and much more. I would like to highlight Alessandra and her family. Super friendly, helpful and respond very nicely and promptly to inquiries. Thank you for 2 great weeks in Sicily.

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!

Excellent hosts and accommodation. Stunning views over Taormina and the coast. (Beware of the step if you do have mobility issues)..The house has lovely gardens. Taormina and it small neighbour Castlemole are delightful with views of Etna. The Roman theatre is well worth a visit and the cable car takes you down to the beaches. Food and restaurants are excellent and not overly expensive. We really enjoyed the area , would go back and certainly want to see more of Sicily!

Salvatore's house is a place where you'll instantly feel at home and won't want to leave. The attention to detail, cozy atmosphere, thoughtful decoration, and care for guests' needs make it truly special. The house is spacious, offering a beautiful kitchen with everything you need, a serene living room, and a wonderful view. Our eight-year-old daughter chose the upstairs room. Although the house is large and we were staying downstairs, she felt completely at ease and wasn't scared at all. A lovely hiking trail begins just 25 minutes from the house. It’s a peaceful retreat and an excellent base for exploring Calabria. Highly recommended. Salvatore is a warm, kind, and generous host.

Great apartment with everything you need to enjoy your holiday. Perfect beach location. Restaurants and supermarket very close. Maria is a great host, making you feel very welcome ready for your Sicilian adventure.

We had a great time (5 days) at Giovanni's place. Apartment and the private garden are superb, convenient and cool. If it is necessary to admit that the immediate surroundings (town and local beach) are not of interest, Giovanni's apartment is ideally located for visiting and exploring the area (Taormina, Etna, Naxos, Catania, the gorges of the alcantara.........) having a lot of fun returning to the apartment in the evening and dine in this beautiful garden. Thanks to Giovanni for hosting us and for his kindness.

The place was a perfect location and very nice. Vincenzo was very responsive and helpful. I highly recommended this place.

Casa Lionessa, the location and the communication with Chiara was above my expectations. The view from of the bay and Mt Etna from the sunny terrace both day and night was spectacular and being across the road from the gorgeous park and moments from restaurants, bars and the Bam Bar made this an ideal romantic holiday location. The support I received from Chiara when my lugguage was lost by the airline was amazing. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

New apartment in great location, pleasant hosts! Within 5 minutes via stairs on a Caribbean dream beach, deserted, at least in September. Great terrace with sea and stream Boli views, daily sunset. Supermarkets nearby, car required. Also to Pizzo you should only drive by car. Beach bars were already closed in September, everything was very peaceful and quiet. Great clean sea with high temperatures, beach unfortunately heavily plastic littered

If you’re looking for a safe, secure, and spacious accommodation that feels isolated but is right next to everything you need to see in Taormina then you found the spot. The apartment has a beautiful terrace overlooking the Sicilian coastline and neighboring Calabria. Beautiful pool, gardens, and easy access to the Main Street of Taormina. The place was stocked with supplies, plenty of blankets, pillows, towels, some food, and a delicious bottle of wine as a welcome gift. Highly recommend for a first time visit to the area!

Super central location! Stunning apartment with amazing views of Corso Umberto 😊 Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in Taormina Centro!

Cozy farmhouse surrounded by greenery with ample outdoor space where the children had fun playing freesby. Sea view and Etna view while erupting! Ideal as a foothold and then move towards Catania, Etna, Alcantara and Taormina area and 10-minute highway cmq. Really nice!
