Villa vacation rentals in Catona

It’s a beautiful villa tucked away on top of a hill! The villa is clean and utterly beautiful!! The hosts left some gifts for us like wine and olive oil. Just an amazing experience. The views from this place are unmatched, even at night! The outdoor space is perfect for hanging out.

amazing location! great size and value for money

Pasqual was an amazing host always responsive and very friendly, we loved the olive oil from his Olive grove and all the local pate and onions and spreads that you can purchase and it makes for great gifts. The views were breathtaking and the dogs enjoyed the grounds and freedom so did our daughter while climbing the olive trees daily. Perfect family getaway we will definitely be back. Thank you so much Pasqual

We had an absolutely magical 6 night stay at Pierluigi's place for our honeymoon. The location is definitely the star of the show, the garden and the view, listening to the ocean, being able to swim right together the house. Also being right on the outskirts of Scilla so it felt quiet and private but close enough to easily walk into town. The inside is beautiful as well, it's definitely older and lived in so it's not the same as a fancy hotel, but we preferred the homey feel. The ac worked well but because of the way the house is layed out, the upstairs bedrooms stay much warmer than the downstairs for anyone who needs it cool to sleep. Pierluigi was an amazing host, always responsive and helpful, we enjoyed the boat tour he arranged for us. Overall we would definitely come back to stay again, highly recommend

I can’t say enough about this property. It was very clean, plenty of towels for my family of 5. The kitchen was stocked with groceries. The rooftop with jacuzzi and lounge chairs was such a nice perk. Yes there are a lot of steps but it’s Taormina! Nicolo was so helpful with restaurant recommendations and helping bring in our luggage. We would definitely stay here again!

Staying with Guiseppe was really amazing. The house is beautiful - the view of the sea breathtaking, the garden designed with a lot of love and attention to detail, the apartment sparkling clean and equipped with everything you could ask for and a fantastic pool as a crowning glory. However, we will remember the stay particularly well because of Giuseppe himself - such a pleasant, likeable and accommodating person - a perfect host and gentleman, thanks to whom we immediately felt welcome and at home soon. A presto, Pino.

Roberto was very friendly and provided us with great recommendations nearby. He was very responsive to our requests and was a great host. I would recommend him. The house was amazing.

I’ve stayed at many Airbnbs around the world and this is one of my favorites. The property is stunning and the furnishings and villa itself are authentically Italian. The location is unbeatable, it’s a 5-10 min walk from restaurants, groceries, shops, and the cable car. Theres even an access way to a hike to Castelmola next door. Waking up to the gorgeous view and enjoying coffee on the terrace was our favorite part of the stay. The groundskeeper Sergey was so helpful and kind. We let Donatella know in advance one person in our party had an injured ankle and she arranged for Sergey to bring our luggage to the villa upon arrival and he even met us at 7am the day of our departure to carry it down (please tip him handsomely if he does this!). Also big shout out to Davide, the driver we were put in touch with and used throughout our stay. I would recommend the property to anyone traveling to Taormina!

If I was able to offer 5 additional stars I would have. The Villa was incredible. From the moment we stepped foot on the terrace the view was jaw dropping- and that was daylight… at night the view was spectacularly dazzling. We were having a family celebration and the villa’s accommodations were perfect for each family member. The villa is ideally located close to the access stairs to Taormina and the bus stop. The kitchen was completely outfitted and we were able to enjoy prepping and cooking meals throughout the week. Cinzia was an absolute perfect host!! Not only were we welcomed by Cinzia, she assisted with our luggage, personally delivered us to town to pick up some provisions and also offered excellent restaurant recommendation. We were greeted with a welcome fruit basket, water & Aperol Spritz fixings!! Additionally there was a stocked wine bar that we were able to directly purchase by the bottle. Did I mention that the Etna eruption!! We enjoyed right from the terrace!

We had a wonderful time at this property! Daniella was incredibly helpful always responsive and had great recommendations. The house photos do not do it justice! The outside space is amazing and the inside was clean and had everything we needed. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of wonderful food options walking, beach, shops, etc. Would definitely love to come back!

Great property - just a little tricky to get to if you don't have a car, taxis and transfers take a long time in Sicily It's a beautiful home - would come back

Amazing stay for the second year in a row! Such a beautiful place, had everything we needed. We love it!

It was a very pleasant stay. The house is well-equipped and private. The road is a little noisy, but nothing bad. Convenient supermarket nearby, and easy to get to Naxos, Toarmina, and other cities. Cooking was very pleasant. Small addition: Larger glasses would be great, as would an ice cube maker and a shampoo and shower gel holder in the bathrooms.

Absolutely great villa where spend your vacation!

Beautiful villa, spacious outdoor area, saltwater pool was fantastic. Fully equipped kitchen and BBQ area. Very clean and well presented throughout. Communication with host was faultless, all questions and calls were answered promptly. Villa was very private, we hired a car but Uber was very reliable and good value. Local restaurant Blue Ice was very good. Highlight was visiting nearby Taormina both on an evening and during the day. I would most certainly recommend Villa Flara and the beautiful island of Sicily. 🍋💕

Giuseppe and his wife, Angela, were the kindest, most hospitable, most caring hosts imaginable. The villa itself is a dream, but to have these fine people along with it is to enjoy a perfect combination. We stayed in the off season, so some of the Seaside amenities were not available, and a few restaurants were closed, but it did not impact our enjoyment of the area very much. There is a bus stop almost directly in front of the house, which makes it very easy to get to and from the nearby city of Messina, including access from the central rail/bus terminal. There is a food and sundries store within walking distance, a post office—and of course plenty of gelato vendors! The Villa’s pool is gorgeous and beautifully maintained, although cushions for the lounge chairs would be a big plus. We were glad to have a washer/dryer in the Villa but operating them took a lot of guesswork—manuals would have saved time. Overall, a stunning home in a lovely location, with incredibly kind hosts.

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!

What a fantastic stay! The views were spectacular and the outside space had lots of different areas and view points. An incredible place for star gazing! We enjoyed the feel of the villa - it was comfortable and had everything we needed - even a little welcome hamper. Antonio was a brilliant host… immediately responsive and a really pleasant chap. Nothing was too much trouble. He also arranged for our taxi ride back to the airport which was early morning! Thanks for having us :-)

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Alecla—an inviting, well-maintained property right on the Ionian Sea, perfect for a relaxing getaway. From the moment we arrived, Cinzia made everything effortless: check‑in was smooth, communication was prompt, and her local insights added a special touch to our experience . The spacious layout and thoughtfully furnished interiors made it feel like a home away from home. We can’t recommend Villa Alecla enough for anyone seeking comfort, convenience, and a genuinely warm host. Thank you, Cinzia — we hope to return soon!

We were in Taormina for a wedding & picked this place to stay because it accommodated the 5 of us easily (each with a private bathroom), it had spectacular views & 2 pools. It couldn’t have been a better choice for our stay, conveniently located to the center, scenic, peaceful & spacious. By the next day we all felt at home. We took endless photos of the views as they were breathtaking overlooking the city & filled with greenery. The rooms were spacious and comfortable (each with air conditioning!) The host was helpful, friendly, and very responsive. A couple of notes for future guests: reaching the villa involves a fairly steep uphill walk, followed by steps leading into the house (not unusual for Taormina), but worth being aware of if mobility is a concern. While the villa overall was very comfortable, we’d recommend updating the living room furniture, as some pieces felt worn out & uncomfortable. Otherwise, this villa really elevated our whole trip experience. Highly recommend!

Girolamo's house is a paradise: spacious 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 comfortably outside - whether by the pool or under the large roof - wonderful! The pool is of course a pleasant luxury. It's the best vacation home we've ever had in Calabria. The surroundings are quiet, supermarket close by, beach and restaurants can be reached by car in a few minutes. Girolamo is so hospitable - thank you! There was always nice, easy contact. It is important to him that his guests are doing well. The reception was extremely warm - with drinks in the fridge and food in the closet. Actually, we never wanted to leave... ;-) Thank you for this special and beautiful accommodation and the warmth!

Ambra and Orazio are extremely welcoming and helpful hosts. The price of the stay is justified by the amazing sea view, the private access to it (a stones and pebbles but comfortable beach, with pristine water) and the vast, beautiful and well equiped ground. The house is relatively large and niceless decorated. It is good to be aware of a few details: barely functioning internet, some noise from the road (it can be an annoyance at night from the bedrooms) and old windows. Overall, it is nevertheless worth recommending.

A corner of magic in the Sicilian hills We stayed at this enchanted AirBnb and were deeply fascinated by it. The advice is to arrive before nightfall: the GPS suggests very narrow roads, which can put you a little apprehensive, but following the directions of Cinzia you reach the place in complete serenity. It's really worth the trip! The place is simply magical, with attention to detail, immersed in the wild and authentic beauty of nature. Every corner tells a story, every detail conveys love and attention. During the night, we witnessed the evocative spectacle of the Etna lights that shone behind the hill - an experience that left us speechless. As a yoga teacher, I can say that it is also a perfect place to organize retreats: silence, beauty, and inspiration blend into a harmony that nourishes the soul. Thank you so much for this special experience.
