Pet-friendly vacation rentals in San Giovanni La Punta

I spent a wonderful month in this location - it's clean and comfortable with good wifi for remote working - perfect for what I was after. Maria is a wonderful host who is always responsive and cleaned the place once a week while leaving me nice things for breakfast! She even gave me a lift to and from Catania (c.10km) with my heavy suitcase. Trecastagni is a pleasant town on the slopes of Etna with accessible supermarkets and other essential shops as well as a some nice bars and restaurants and several churches. This location is better for those with private vehicles as the buses to/from Trecastagni are somewhat unreliable and it is a walk of several miles to the nearest train station (Acireale). However for those with vehicles it offers good access to Etna as well as other attractions in the area such as Catania and Acireale.

Great villa with a lot of space and many bathrooms. Beautiful view! Host was very friendly, responsive and helpful. The actual place matched the photos and for sure worth the price we paid.

The apartment is charming and spacious and there is also a private terrace that we used a lot. The location is excellent both for reaching the center on foot and for reaching external locations by car. There is always parking a short distance from the house. Luigi was impeccable and available at all times, always ready to give advice on what to do or where to eat and also to intervene to solve any problem. Moreover, he had the foresight to leave us basic necessities on arrival to make us feel immediately welcomed. Highly recommended.

Love this place. Superb balcony with great views and lots of space. Comfortable inside. Seconds to the beach and 5 minutes walk to the Funicular up to central Taormina. Host was great and even let us check out late.

Beautiful accommodation in the middle of a cultivated, lush green property with fantastic views towards the east coast. Everything was as expected based on the pictures and description, rather a little prettier. Cleanliness great, tranquility and panorama fantastic. The reception is super warm, recommendations for excursions very good. The location is of course a bit off the beaten track, but absolutely OK to reach by car through narrow alleys. You just don't find something like this right in the village. Overall, an absolute recommendation!

We had a wonderful stay at the appartement. We really enjoyed the beautiful balcony and the nature all around. We even got nice fresh fruits out of the garden!

Our stay here was absolutely amazing! Alberto and Giorgio were so helpful and Giorgio was kind enough to pick us up from the station and drive us to the location. He also took us around to the local restaurants and bars and introduced us to the locals. The place was also lovely and very cosy and Castelmola was so beautiful to explore! Would definitely love to come back again.

Already miss this lovely place which became our dream Sicilian country home for three nights! Located in a peaceful gardens area, accompanied by lovely doggies, Mathilde's place gave us a feeling of coziness and freedom. I can only regret that our busy programme didn't allow us to meet with her in person but she was ver approachable and easy going. If you are looking for a quite place near to Naxos and Taormina, and a good starting point for Etna - don't hesitate to book this place :)

We stayed 2 weeks and it was a great base for exploring the east side of Sicily and Etna. A hire car is essential as the apartment is located in a quiet spot away from the main centres. The apartment itself was spacious and comfortable with great views from the wrap around balcony. The swimming pool was a real bonus - we made use of it most days. Salvatore & Antonio were very helpful and responsive to requests (many thanks!). Highly recommended if, like us, you are looking for a peaceful getaway.

Excellent accommodation, Ruben is very friendly and professional. The bed was very comfortable, the environment is quite quiet, everything was perfect! Thank you very much 🌋☀️

We especially enjoyed having our own outdoor area with a BBQ and an upstairs terrace with a view on Etna. The host and her family were very friendly and respected our privacy at all times. This location is a great alternative to being in the more busy city.

We had an amazing week at Villa Panoramica. Pina was so welcoming and went above and beyond to meet our needs. The villa was spotless and a perfect setting for a great week. The kids (and adults) loved the pool and the views from the terrace is amazing. Pina and her lovely family cooked us dinner one night and it was and unforgettable experience with great food and they made us feel like family. We even spotted some lava from Etna one night on the balcony, a memory for life!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A stunning Sicilian escape The villa was beautiful and spacious, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The long journey up the mountain was absolutely worth it, the view over the valley, the sea, and the surrounding villages is simply breathtaking. The house was very clean and well-equipped with all the essentials. The host was also very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. This region is truly one of the most spectacular areas you can experience in Sicily, highly recommended!

We had a great stay! The property was easy to find, clean, and exactly as described. The host was very helpful and responsive. We really liked the place and would definitely stay again. Highly recommended!

Andreas house is like a home away from home. It is thoughtfully decorated, the lavastonehouse is charming and inside it has everything you need. The ourdoors is beautiful! The view is spectacular, the kids loved the pool and the sorroundings are unimaginable. You have to see it to understand, how wonderful it is. Andrea is the perfect helpful and informative host. The area is peaceful, a bit rural, but that makes it just better.

Michaela was very friendly and the House is very nice!

The apartment is very nice and comfortable. Annalissa a great host, very proactive and responsive. The complex where the flat is located has ample parking space, which is good as you will need a car to navigate the area. We had a great stay.

Vincenzo is a great communicator and attentive host. He shared valuable reccommendations for things to do in the local area, restaurants and shops. The accomodation is in a fantastic location with views to Mt Etna in the west, and the coast in the east. It is very comfortable and a great place to relax and unwind. Thank you very much, Vincenzo!

Staying at Andrea's house was a simply fantastic experience, from the communication before arrival to the availability at every single moment of the stay. The house is in a quiet area, easy to reach by car, and the guaranteed parking is a plus. Don't underestimate it! The apartment was spacious and equipped with everything you need and even more, Andrea gave us valuable advice on places to eat and we will definitely keep it for the future

A great place for a fair price a bit outside of town centre but can get metro for 1€ to town in about 15 min. The place is more uphill so you get a great view from balcony.

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!

Antonio personally welcomed us and explained everything in detail. He is very friendly. He was always available for questions and immediately helped. We felt very comfortable in the apartment. This is exceptional: very spacious with large terrace. The furnishings are of very high quality. The location is very central. Parking is possible directly at the house. We can definitely recommend the place.

Very nice, incredibly quiet yet central place to stay. Well-equipped kitchen, Paola kindly provides coffee, tea, spices and more. Comfortable beds. Very private garden, very quiet at night (we traveled in February). We parked the car in the parking lot next door for a fee, we found this option suitable for us. All in all a direct hit and wonderful place.

It is a beautiful place with great hosts.
