Vacation rentals in Santa Maria La Stella

Villa Gorna is an amazing location with fantastic hosts. The property is as described and photos are accurate. A lot of care was taken to put nice extra features. Orazio was very responsive and helpful, with offers available for tours etc. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend.

Salvatore was a very kind , responsive and helpful host. He seemed genuinely concerned about our enjoyment and well being and was very helpful when we needed help solving a medical issue. His place was very clean and comfortable. The location was great because it was quiet and peaceful but very close to restaurants and shopping. The view from the harbour is stunning.

great view from balcon and close to the downtown action, very nice place

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 a fabulous time at Mario’s place with our two young kids. The place is nicer than the photos. The hospitality was amazing and we appreciated Mario going out of his way to accommodate our late check in. The local recommendations were lovely. We even took Mario’s help to secure some restaurant bookings. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it.

Property has absolutely delightful outside space and the master bedroom is fantastic. The kitchen is very well equipped. The check in instructions could be clearer on the listing, and the address took us to the next road, but Roberta was a delight to deal with and quickly put us right - they could enhance the check in instructions because until they messaged, we weren’t clear quite what we were doing. The second and third bedrooms are fine and comfortable, but not all that big, with a toilet upstairs but the shower for those two downstairs. The pool, outdoor furniture etc are amazing, as are the views. They had a very helpful tour/taxi organiser who they put us in touch with, who sorted out wine tastings, taxis and boat trips for us, all of very good quality and not overly expensive for what you got. Thank you.

Very friendly personal welcome by Peppe. Good introduction to the circumstances. The prompt responses were made to requests. Barbecue and towel change done immediately. Hot tub is in the bedroom. Outdoor pool around the house, which we did not use due to the weather conditions. Parking space for the car in the yard with electric. Gate. We saw Angela briefly to welcome you. The further contact was via Peppe, who also lived there. The only negative was that Peppe only spoke Italian and that there was no wardrobe in our bedroom. However, we were able to use the closet in the second bedroom. We would recommend the place without hesitation.

We really enjoyed our stay! We loved the wild garden with fruits and vegetables to eat. It was close to the sea, the kitchen was well equipped, the bed was really comfortable and the best thing were the cats, especially Lady and Mitu. They stole our heart! Aci Castello is easily reachable with 20 min walk.
