Villa vacation rentals in Villa Petrosa

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.

I rented Marco's place to celebrate my 30th birthday with my friends, and it was the best choice. The living room/game room offered good entertainment in the evening, and its location made it very easy for us to reach Mount Etna and go hiking in the mornings/afternoons. The place was spotless, and Marco was an incredibly responsive host and always willing to help. The only downside was the temperature, which was a bit colder than desired. The heating came on mostly when we weren't home and was set to 19°. The fire in the living room kept us warm enough in the evening, but more warmth there and in the rest of the house would have been appreciated. Overall, we had a very good experience and I would recommend its place to anyone wanting to explore Etna and have fun!

A beautiful villa with old-world charm yet modern feeling. Amazing views of both the ocean and Etna. Well maintained gardens and grounds, with a lovely pool and sitting area. Pino and Viviana were always quick to respond and helpful. Truly a special place

Tranquil, beautiful mountainside villa about 10 minutes from Bronte with imposing view of Etna and surrounded by vineyards, magpies, and flocks of sheep. The exterior of the building is volcanic rock, giving an “old-world” Italian feel. The host, Nunzio, went far above and beyond the call of duty in welcoming us after a difficult travel in the middle of the night, helping us when our rental car ran a flat tire on the way there, making introductions in town and guiding us through city hall, recommending restaurants where I ate some of the best food in my life, and overall caring for us and treating us as family. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for his care and support while we were here.

We couldn’t recommend this place more! Exceptional value for money with an unforgettable view that has to be seen to be believed. The house itself is modest but spotlessly clean and very private. Reaching it at night can be a bit tricky due to the narrow roads—prepare for some adventurous driving! Accessing Taormina is convenient if you're up for a bit of exercise: either walk about 240 steps or take a 20-minute drive. This worked well for us, and even the kids enjoyed the walk. Martina’s local recommendations were fantastic. After trying all her suggestions, I can assure you they really made our stay memorable.

A place of exceptional beauty, surrounded by lush orchards. Graziella and her husband are remarkable hosts: responsive, warm and very kind. Thanks to their valuable advice, we discovered quality restaurants and fascinating sites to explore in the area. We immediately felt at home. In addition, having arrived late at night, they were kind enough to leave us breakfast for the following morning. An unforgettable stay.

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!!

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!

It was our first ever trip to Sicily. Giuliana’s home has a Stunning entrance, gated and the surroundings felt very safe. The external views of the village, hills and pool is absolutely breathtaking with well equipped and beautifully selected furniture. We had A-LOT of questions being newbies which Giuliana so promptly and kindly answered including lots of recommendations especially where to park as most places provided a central parking space which was then walkable to the historical towns etc. Thank you so much for a wonderful warm welcome. Love everything Sicilian 🩵🩵🩵 Ps. Just to note-there is a separate apartment right below with guests who also share the pool.

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.

A great home away from home for the Christmas Holiday. The kitchen was amazing and allowed for us to make all our traditional Christmas dishes. Furthermore, the living room was cozy. The couch was perfect and allowed multiple people to curl up and watch Christmas movies. Additionally, the gaming room provided much needed space for board games, karaoke, puzzles, and reading. The house was immaculate, and our host was absolutely wonderful. We showed up late the first evening and our host made traditional Sicilian delicacies for us to eat. The arancini were delicious. I would 100% come back, especially in the summer so I can enjoy their beautiful pool. 100% recommend.

Everything was perfect. Emanuele is very responsive and accommodating. The villa is amazing, great location, great view, very well equipped (swimming pool, barbecue, parking space etc.). We were a group of 14 and had a great time. I highly recommend it!

Oh where do I start...IF you are a large group this is a perfect stay. We were a group of 8 (4 couples). The house is comfortable and clean. 5 min walk to the subway gets you right downtown, super easy. The pool is a bonus and clean. I can't say enough about the owners. Giovanni and his daughter where there to greet us and handle any questions we had ( I had none!) Now for the BEST part outside of the best hosts ever...Claudia and Carlotta. ;) The dinner is out of this world and is rated #1 with our entire group. Pretty sure Giovanni knows what he is doing when it comes to the word "chef." Communication was responsive and they arranged transportation. Thank you G...C...C you are welcomed in Kansas anytime! xo

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!

Lovely Airbnb in a private compound. Walkable to the little village of Santa Tecla and to a Hotel with a nice Lido. Paolo was a great host and very responsive throughout the stay.

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.

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!

Beautiful stay in Aci Catena. The space comfortably accommodated all four of us and the beds were one of the most comfortable of our whole trip. The outdoor area was amazing with the pool surrounded by many olive, lemon and peach trees. Daria was very willing to help with every question we had and made many recommendations throughout our stay. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a quaint stay, yet so close to everything.

I recommend the accommodation. Very convenient location if you want to go around by car the island. If you want to vacation the place is comfortable, beautiful and peaceful. Extremely clean, the garden is lovely. There is a deck with a pool that in season would be good entertainment. There is clean underwear, hot water constantly. Extremely good place! Thank you kindly!

Probably one of my favorite Airbnb experiences so far. The place is beautiful, even more beautiful than the photos, super spacious, has everything we needed and more, and had stunning views of Etna. We felt right at home and did not even want to leave the place to explore. Daniella was a superstar, she was very friendly, proactive, responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for accommodating us, we had a wonderful time.

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%
