Vacation rentals in Contrada Zappino

Sebastiano is a really hospitable host, giving lots of information on the region (what to visit, where to eat, …) The house is just beautiful, and is in reality even bigger than what seems in the pictures. Everything is top quality. The yard also offers plenty of space. Warmly recommended!

Davide and Carla were excellent, helpful and friendly hosts who made us feel right at home. Their vineyard is truly beautiful and authentic, and loved how peaceful and tranquil the area is. Even though we had not pre-booked the wine tasting and dinner, we were invited to join the experience and thoroughly enjoyed a selection of amazing natural wines, a delicious meal, and chatted the night away with Mount Etna in the background. The apartment was cosy and quiet, with all amenities you could need and views towards the coast. A few reviews have mentioned the drive up to the vineyard, but we had no trouble with this at all, we had rented a 500X and it tackled the country road just fine. Thank you Davide and Carla for making our stay so memorable.

The review function gives limited options for comments! The house is absolutely gorgeous and the location is stunning. Cristina and her family were amazingly helpful and responsive. The house was very clean and full of helpful things - kitchen clean, bathrooms clean, sun loungers with beach towels etc. We didn’t hire a car so got airport transfers and did struggle to find the house at first as it is down a long drive past house 36 - took a bit of detective work but we got there! The pool was brilliant - big enough for our family of 7 to have lots of fun and you can actually swim some lengths if you fancy. The hammocks and table under the trees were fantastic in the hottest point of the day. The bedrooms themselves are gorgeous with full length windows out onto the patio. We were able to get space from each other without being uncomfortable, lots of different living spaces and we even cooked out in the bbq which was lovely. There is a little supermarket at the top of the village.

Don't hesitate to book this place! My son and I thought it looked so beautiful in photos, but we were blown away by the beauty that greeted us when we arrived! Beautiful and lush garden, wonderful surroundings and the house itself was completely unique! A mix of old and new, it is really an architect who has had a sense of detail when they renovated this room! The place was authentic and quiet. Maria was kind and good at communicating with us before we arrived. I had read many good reviews about her personality and was disappointed that she would not be there during our stay. But when we arrived and met Vittorio who was there instead of Maria, we were just happy he was the most helpful and sweet person! He did EVERYTHING to make us feel comfortable and offered to shop for us and went to the pharmacy when I got an infection. His hospitality and charming personality were absolutely formidable! Fantastic service and clean Sicilian hospitality at its best! ❤️ THANK YOU!!🫶🏾

We had a lovely stay at Maria’s Airbnb! The location is absolutely perfect — peaceful yet conveniently close to everything you might need. What truly stood out, though, was the beautiful garden.

I have stayed at many air bnb and VRBO rentals around the world over the years. Francesco's place in Milo, Sicily is among the very best. The views of the sea, mountains, volcano, rolling hill countryside dotted with vineyards and castles, and the town lights below at night, from this idyllic peak are nothing short of stunning. Add to that the amazingly comfortable climate and the sleek contemporary finishes that seamlessly and beautifully blend the new with the ancient structures, and you have a true gem that reflects so much of what is magical about this island and culture. In addition, the proprietor Francesco, an architect by trade, grew up here, and his love and passion for the place and for now sharing it, is evident everywhere. He and his son are the perfect hosts at this vineyard/countryside estate.

Couldn’t recommend Villa Santi enough! Beautiful house with amazing views! Absolutely spotless and all the amenities you could need! Carlos was brilliant at replying and had answers to questions we had. He also provided amazing reccomendatioms that really are worth the hype he gave them!

Our family had such a wonderful stay here on the slopes of Mt Etna. The property was charming with a beautiful view. We loved the smell of the blossoms and enjoyed the oranges and lemons in the orchard as well! It had all the amenities we needed including in the kitchen and the lovely touch of the limoncello for guests to enjoy. The beds were comfy with AC in the rooms and the bathrooms were very clean. It’s a great base to explore the surrounding area if you have a car and also great local restaurants nearby. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Sicily!
