Apartment vacation rentals in San Giovanni La Punta

Our stay was amazing. the apartment was beautifully decorated, you could really tell they put a lot of work into it. very luxurious but still gave a very cozy and comfortable vibe. the hot tub was really the cherry on the cake. The location is perfect for people who are looking for a place where to relax but also have a bit of night life. lots of shops, bakery's and restaurants around where you can try all the typical sicilian food. The rocky beach is barely even a 10 minute walk and it's just simply stunning, you can smell the ocean breeze even from the apartment. Francesca and Sebastian were incredible, super friendly and available. thank you and until next time, Ciaoo!

We loved Saro’s place! His a really helpful and friendly host! The place has a cozy vibe and the view to the Etna… no words!

We absolutely loved this apartment. It was clean and spacious and looked exactly like the photos. So thoughtfully decorated and finished. Do not be put off by the street entrance - once you open the door at the top of the stairs, so much beauty awaits. There are lovely restaurants very close by, and there is easy access to all the sights. Salvo was an exceptional host - responded quickly to messages and checked up on us frequently. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Aesthetically pleasing in every way. Beautiful apartment in the best possible location. Very helpful host. Ask for their restaurant recommendation, you won't be disappointed!

Fabio's place was fantastic. The view is unbeatable. Parking, walkable into town and the view, the view is absolutely breathtaking. We loved our stay. My partner and I were traveling around Sicily for a few months, and my dog needed emergency surgery, and Fabio's place was the perfect spot for us to unwind, relax, and the views made it a great place to nurse our little pup back to health. You need a car here, and the location is only 15 minutes outside the city of Catania, perfect launch pad to explore the surrounding areas. Although, we didn't get to meet Fabio, he was always a text away, checking in on us, making sure we had everything we need. Highly recommend. I should also note, my partner and I work remotely, and he was so gracious to add a desk and chair so we both could work comfortably, with the beautiful views. We will for sure be back! Grazie Mille, Fabio!

I stayed at Francesca's place for a week. The house is in a perfect location, very close to lidl, supermarkets and shopping centers. Just 10 minutes by car from the center of Catania (for the type of trip I had in mind it was a perfect house) plus it is slightly raised on a hill, and on the warm days of August we had the pleasure of breathing some fresh air! 15 minutes from the house are also beautiful sea areas (such as "the caves of Ulysses"). Francesca is very helpful and open to dialogue! Overall a positive experience!!

We absolutely loved our stay in Mascalucia and wished we stayed longer. The team was so sweet! Aurelio is the best and even surprised us with a traditional granita breakfast and arancini snacks. Their hospitality is unmatched. We absolutely loved the villa, the tranquility of the private garden in the back (with kumquats and lemons we could enjoy), the gorgeous pool area, multiple terraces for meals, and the games room! The town is also conveniently located, an easy distance from Catania airport and super close to Etna explorations. We used it as a great base to see Syracuse, Taormina, Etna, and Catania. We will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all our friends.

Amazing modern apartment with a private beach! Very light and well-equipped. The highlight for me was the huge terrace, where I spent most of my time relaxing. The apartment is well located, with easy access to major tourist spots like Etna, Taormina, and Siracusa. There are plenty of cafes and bars nearby, and the best pastry shop in Catania is just a 10-minute walk away. Giuseppe and Valerio were incredibly responsive and friendly hosts. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

We loved our stay at this apartment! The location was perfect to enjoy the historic district and very accessible to wonderful restaurants and lots of things to do. The hosts were amazing! Extremely responsive and proactive. They gave a wonderful list of recommendations from things to do to Taxi information to restaurants. I highly recommend this Airbnb!

This Airbnb was fantastic! Super clean, stylish, and in a perfect location. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive. Highly recommend for a comfortable and convenient stay!"

The house was nice and clean. Giulia response on time with clear instructions.

Flavio's accommodation was great. Large apartment with all amenities, nice terrace and great privacy. Parking was possible in a closed yard 30m from the apartment. Great and quiet location both to the airport and to the center (20-30min by car). With thanks M+M.

Amazing stay. Lovely apartment. Convenient to walking all of Catania.

Thanks to Rosario for her hospitality, kindness and responsiveness! We booked at the last minute, he quickly accepted and contacted us to agree on the check-in time. The apartment is located in a peaceful residence, a 10-minute walk from the seaside and in the center of the small town of Cannizzarro. Ideally located town, close to Catania (< 20 mins from the center by car or bus, 10 mins by train) and the main road that goes up to Messina or down to Syracuse. Etna is also close (South station 1900 m to < 1 hr). A decisive criterion for us: the apartment has a private parking space for the rental car! Several shops nearby (pharmacy, local grocery store, post office, local bars, a few restaurants). Modern and very well-equipped apartment, the small outdoor garden is very nice. Grazie Mille!

Very nice, small apartment with a dream view from the balcony over the small harbor. Modern, very tastefully decorated and well equipped (dishes, kitchen utensils, towels, etc.) Nice restaurants in the immediate vicinity. You are in a village environment and yet not too far from the center of Catania. However, it is not so easy to get there by bus, because the one line 534 to the city center only runs very rarely. However, there is a train station "Picanello" 7 minutes' walk away, where a train runs to the central station (and usually further to the airport) about every half hour. If Mario had told me that beforehand, I could have saved myself the 50 euros for the taxi... But that's the only thing I have to complain about at this place!

Very clean, modern, secure and aesthetically pleasing apartment with a comfortable bed. The apartment remained cool in the heat due which was a bonus! Had everything we needed in and was a good walking distance from all of central catania. Marco went above and beyond more than any AirBnb host ever. From before we even arrived he had provided constant guidance and instructions to reach the air BnB and met us on arrival to show us the apartment. Throughout the stay he provided personal guides, recommendations and 24/7 support for anything we needed. Very responsive and will fix any issue you need immediately e.g. our plugs didn’t fit in to the wall sockets so he provided us with a plug or when we accidentally logged out the Netflix and needed the password again he provided it asap! He even kept our luggage secure after check out as we had hours before our flight. We booked this for an anniversary and the Airbnb had Taormina standard/vibe to it but in Catania which is not common!

Wonderful house and location! We loved it here. The house has a lot of beautiful furniture, as well as an open terrace with a great view. The host Franco was so very kind, gave us many recommendations on local beaches and cafes

I’m not sure I can sum this up in 1000 words but our stay at Roberto’s was beyond any expectation. Not only was it spotlessly clean, perfectly located and had its own parking, it was a 5 minute walk to the cable car to Taormina town (quick 3-4 min ride). The nearby restaurants were phenomenal especially Bel Assai and Blum. Both walkable within 5 minutes. Roberto as a host is simply the best we’ve ever had. There were multiple snacks and beverages for us upon arrival and everything you could ever want from an Airbnb experience. His charm and care were off the charts. Tanjit, his very strong helper, was available for any questions or inquiries we had as well. All in all it was our favorite stay not only in Sicily but in the course of our 20+ Airbnb’s around the world. To be fair- yes, there are many steps to the property but every single one was worth the experience. If you get the opportunity book it immediately. There’s no place like it in the world.

Gwendalina's place was exactly as pictured and very centrally located right next to the cathedral and the fish market. The terrace was a great addition. Gwendalina was also super proactive with check-in and was very responsive. Definitely recommend!

We had a lovely stay at Stefano’s place. Perfect location close to everything and we loved having a drink on the terrace before dinner. Would 100% recommend.

Livio was a very accommodating host. Great location. We had a great stay!

Very nice, very clean, very good equipped and designed apartment. We can absolutely recommend to stay here! Beach, supermarket and good restaurants are available but ideally you have a car.

We spent 4 days in the accommodation, super well placed in Catania, a noisy hair due to a dog in front of the window who barked every night but otherwise nothing to say. The bathtub with the jets was perfect and the accommodation as well. In addition, Chiara is attentive and very responsive. I would 100% recommend!

Virginie was one of the most helpful and proactive hosts we have come across at airbandb. She made booking in really easy and gave us lots of really useful information about the area. The apartment itself was much bigger than we expected. It was 5 star - clean, comfortable, quiet, great facilities. There were lovely places to eat and drink around the corner and we were able to walk to all the main areas. Thank you, Virginie!!
