Villa vacation rentals in Catona

A great room. In this beautiful city. A bit out of the way and required a bit of a hike to get to the city center. Not a place to stay without a car. A gorgeous property with amazing views and a pool (that’s a must if you’re there during the summer heat).

Our stay at Villa Cycas was such an incredible experience: between the property, the surrounding small village of Salice, the scenic views of Mount Stromboli in the distance, and most importantly Ottavio as our host. Ottavio was genuinely friendly and great to talk to throughout check-in as he gave us a detailed tour of the property. His private dinner option at the villa is definitely a must add on your bucket list. Both him and his wife Paola came to the villa and cooked an amazing dinner for my family and it was great getting to know both during that experience. The villa itself was clean and the surrounding property filled lush with meticulously placed foliage including an abundance of lemon, orange, and kumquat trees that Ottavio invited us to pick the fruit from. Our family absolutely enjoyed the swimming pool and outdoor sauna along with the views of the Aeolian Islands in the distance. Thank you Ottavio for the memories our family made while at your family's villa!

Our event consisted of Mon wife and I, our 4 daughters and their partners as well as 8 grandchildren aged 4 - 17 years. The room distribution was nice. We used the apartment downstairs for common room - here was just room for all 18 and the bedroom was playroom for the 4 smallest - everything worked impeccably - the garden with dining area also worked fine. Shopping opportunity 3 minutes walk away. Short to the beach - 5 minutes by car 20 minutes walk also fine, We highly recommend the place. Vh Jens

our contact was with Pasquale , the owner I think, who was very communicative, met us at a nearby restaurant as for the first time it would be difficult to find. he also repaired one of the locks which mafe our life easier. The house has a great atmosphere, the terrace is gorgeous, we had ripe grapes hanging over our heads and the view over the sea and into the olive grove was great.

Girolamo's house is paradise: generous and extremely clean! The amenities inside and out are high quality and tidy. The outdoor area is also spacious and very well maintained, we sat very cozily outside - whether by the pool or under the large roof - wonderful! The pool is of course an enjoyable luxury. It's the best cottage we've ever had in Calabria. The surroundings are quiet, supermarket very close, beach and restaurants can be reached by car in a few minutes. Girolamo is so hospitable - thank you so much! There was always a nice, casual contact. It is important to him that his guests are well. The reception was extremely warm - with drinks in the fridge and food in the closet. Actually, we never wanted to drive again... ;-) Thank you for this special and beautiful place and warmth!

We had a lovely stay at Villa Gemma. Charming house, spacious, great outdoor area with very nice pool. We travelled with two teenagers and the house was perfect for us. We would like to especially give credit to our host Giovanni, who was very friendly, kept our pool clean every days and even collected fresh fruits and vegetables from his own the garden - a very personal and nice gesture! It is obvious that he takes care of the place, which made us all feel like home. A very relaxing holiday!

What a wonderful stay we had in salvatore’s beautiful home. It was everything we hoped for and more, and it is actually the best Airbnb we have stayed at (and we’ve stayed in many over the years). The house was stunning - beautifully done up and such a comfortable, luxurious and homely stay. Salvatore and family were fabulous hosts and even stayed up to welcome us after our flight was delayed and arriving late at night. They left us some food supplies - absolutely faultless. Everything had been thought of and was supplied in the home, just amazing. We will definitely be back! Thank you Salvatore and family for a perfect stay!

Our stay at Villa Gramati was perfect. The location was private but still in reach of local amenities and restaurants. The villa was spacious and the pool was absolutely wonderful. Martina was very helpful and responsive. I couldn’t fault our stay here, I 100% recommend. Thank you very much for having us!

We loved our stay in Taormina. The villa is in the heart of town and walkable to restaurants and shops. It also has a beautiful courtyard which provides a little privacy from nearby neighbors. And the rooftop patio is amazing, especially for viewing the stars. We recommend the villa for families or groups looking to stay close to the action of Taormina.

A beautiful, tropical-feel villa! The pool area .makes you not want to leave the property! The grill and outdoor dinning area is very welcoming. plenty of comfortable outdoor lounges and sofas. The beach right down the street is beautiful! Go the day before you want to spend there and reserve a cabana. The main villa has 2BR with doubles and the apartment outside the gate has 3. Very safe and central area to see Sicilys east coast. Our favorite excursion was to Slow Food Cucina in Noto, where you harvest, cook, eat, laugh and sing. this was a family vacation we will never forget!

It was a beautiful beach villa! So relaxing

We had a great stay at this villa. The interior and exterior have a lot of charm and character. The view from the sea-side terrace is beautiful, worthy of an Italian movie. The pool is crazy to endure the Sicilian heat and spend some good times with friends. The accommodation is in a great location, accessible only by car but it is easy to park in the parking lot next door. We were able to go quite quickly to Taormina, Etna, Noto, Catana, Syracuse... Hosts are very welcoming, it's handy to have a few basics of Italian (even if not necessarily necessary). Special mention to the 4 little cats (Naxos, Syra, Tao and Strombi) who came to see us from time to time If you are sensitive to noise, consider taking Quies balls as we sometimes hear cars / motorcycles passing on the road below (we didn't really mind)

Amazing Views, Spacious Home, Great Host! We recently spent a month at Concetto's place, and it was a wonderful experience overall. Concetto was incredibly responsive and professional, always available when needed. The home itself was very clean and spacious, offering more than enough room for our family. The view from the house is absolutely stunning, and the pool was sparkling clean with a perfect water temperature — great for both relaxing and swimming. However, there are a few things future guests might want to know. There is no dryer, just a drying rack, which worked fine for us but may require planning for longer stays. Additionally, there’s no outdoor grill or usable outdoor kitchen, which would have been nice to have. Also, keep in mind that walking to the main streets can be tricky. The driveway is very steep and windy, and even after reaching the bottom, there’s another steep hill to tackle. Despite these minor inconveniences, we had an amazing stay!

We traveled as a family of four with a 6 year old and 1 year old. This place was perfect and beyond. Louisa had baby chair, toys, cleaning and laundry service, and even helped us get a baby carrier! Literally, look no further and book this place.

our family spent the most unforgettable vacation in this house. Sebastian is one of the best hosts we have ever met! despite the delay of our flight, he personally met us and prepared food and even wine), we felt very welcome at home. The villa is located in a small quiet Sicilian city, in which everything you need for a great holiday within walking distance, restaurants, supermarkets and small grocery stores are all nearby. and most importantly, the beach is right outside the gate of the house. In fact, the house is even brighter in life than in the photo, it is very clean, with excellent kitchen equipment like at home. we really enjoyed living in it and we can't wait to return. 😘

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!

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.

Our daugters told that the pool was amazing and it is worth to come back next time!

Giovanni built the place from scratch with a lot of careful details and with guests in mind. Gardens, plants and trees are spectacular. The pool and pool area is wonderful, we swam whenever we were at home. Home is what it felt like. Location is closed to Taormina, the gorge, Etna is only one hour away as is the airport. I would thoroughly recommend Giovanni's villa to anyone considering a trip to Sicily. You will love it here. Thanks Giovanni for taking such great care of us and for your recommendations for restaurants and places to visit.

This is a nice well equipped stay 15 minutes from the coast. Ideal for visiting the east coast of the island. The arrival cost us the first day because we arrived almost at night but we got used to the slopes quickly

We had a wonderful stay in Ornella’s Villa. The house is beautiful and well laid out. The kitchen has everything you could ever need. The en-suite bedroom was great and they had a cot and high chair there too. It is the perfect place for entertaining. Two beautiful outdoor areas to eat. It is a five minute walk to the beach but we found it difficult to leave the Villa because the pool was so amazing. Highly recommend staying here.

The villa was simply stunning! We had the best, most relaxing time. The view was so pretty and special! Sandra was a great host, who made us feel welcome and safe. She replied quickly, and made sure the trip was comfortable for us. The perfect location to explore both Catania, Taormina and other cities nearby. We would 100% recommend. The hairdryer was a big plus! Also all the windows and doors had mosquito netting! Every bedroom had its own bathroom, which was much appreciated (we were 3 married couples). All in all a great experience! Again, 100% recommend❤️

Lovely house with great swimming pool and garden. You really get a holiday feeling here. You live largely outside and are equipped with every luxury there. In the house everywhere air conditioning that is very nice. We had thought that two bathrooms would also have two showers, but that was not the case. So that was a bit of planning with five adults. Salvatore is great host. He was there when we arrived, showed us around the garden and house and gave tips to discover Sicily. We could ask him anything at all times. Totally top!
