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.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Laura's charming rustic villa! To check in, we communicated with Laura's brother Carlo and his wife Katia via Whats App –– we had to delay our arrival several times due to our poor driving estimates and they were very kind and accommodating. Upon arrival, there is a sharp turn into a green gate and a lovely long driveway entrance. The property has a large and and romantic garden, with an outdoor bamboo shower that we found magical. The property has two buildings: the kitchen and bathroom/laundry in one (no air conditioning, but there is a fan) and a separate building with one bath/shower and three bedrooms (one of which has air con). The first day it was quite hot and buggy, but in the evening it cooled off and for the rest of our stay we did not need the air conditioning and spent the evenings outside on the patio under the large mulberry tree!

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.

We have been very satisfied with our stay in the house. The host gave us a warm welcome and was very informative. From the pool area, we could see and enjoy the top of Mount Etna erupting. The house has 3 floors with stairs and plenty of space both inside and outside. With a car, it is easy to get around to both the beach and shopping areas. There was a slight power shortage when the air conditioning was running, but other than that, everything was perfect.

Amazing house and super kind owner! You can feel it’s very relaxing, clean and great place to rest. Indeed, you probably cannot get here without a car, and the road is quite challenging. But the house is rewarding you as soon as you open the gate :) I recommend 100%

We were very pleasantly hosted by Viviana. We were 4 adults and 4 children. Her accommodation is very spacious, very clean and in a very good location. We were close to Catania, Taormina and Etna. We recommend it!

The villa is very charming, an antique. It's super spacious and located few minutes drive from a lovely stretch of beach with crystal clear water, with few lidos to be found too. The host was very helpful and kind and gave us lots of tips of where to buy fresh fish, meat etc. Milazzo is a beautiful area for holiday on the beach (small pebbles). Thank you!

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.

What a lovely property to fit a large family. About 20 mins to Taormina, you find yourself removed from the tourists and able to enjoy this beautiful house and outdoor space. We arranged for a chef to come and cook at the house for us and was a very memorable experience. Thanks so much and will stay again!

Excellent stay in a peaceful village close to Mount Etna and wine country

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.

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!

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 beautiful with great views of the sea and the coast to Taormina and the toe of the mainland. The sunrises are fabulous. The garden is beautifully landscaped and we were also very pleased with the hammock and table tennis table. The lava stone and wood are a great combination outside and inside. There are very comfortable seats and beds as well as insect screens on doors and windows. The Etna Park, Taormina and Catania are easily accessible. Andrea is a great, very attentive and friendly host who gave us a lot of good tips.

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

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!

The house was perfect for our visit to the Catania area. All 3 bedrooms were clean, air conditioned, and spacious with private baths. The pictures in the listing show exactly what you can expect. The outside patio and porch areas are beautiful and great for enjoying a morning coffee and evening beverage. Marco worked with us to accommodate an early check-in. He promptly responded to all of our requests and concerns. The house is gated so privacy and security was not a concern.

We had the pleasure to enjoy the villa dei sogni for almost two weeks. Like our first visit, it was again just breathtaking. The house, the pool and especially the view, absolutely amazing! See you next time, villa dei sogni!

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

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!
