Villa vacation rentals in Villa San Giovanni

Hi Irina, Thank you! We had a great stay at your place. The house and the huge garden were just super nice and idyllic. We immediately felt at home. The whole house was only available to us – you really have a private atmosphere and an amazing view into the distance to the sea. It was just nice. The highlight of our evenings was the fireplace. We had everything we needed. Irina was always available and very nice! We recommend the house to everyone. Thank you and best regards

amazing location! great size and value for money

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 :-)

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

Silvia and Gaetano (who might assist you in getting to the place and handing over the keys) are very friendly and reliable people who were welcoming and made a lot of effort in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly. The view from the big, beautiful terrace is stunning and the rest of the house, the small garden and the surrounding area are amazing. Fantatstic, quiet place to be. Thank you, Silvia and Gaetano, we hope to come back one day!

We enjoyed the beautiful panoramic views from the home. The house was very clean and well stocked especially the kitchen. We appreciated the high quality home and the peaceful surroundings. Taormina was an easy drive. Taxis and uber drivers were easily accessible for evening dinners.

Peace, tranquillity AND privacy, not spoiled even by the occasional music from Zambrone resorts below. A family of 4 adults & 1 young child, we managed to get around in quite extreme heat without a car using local trains & the occasional taxi but the climb from beaches to the Villa is challenging! Scooters might be good. No oven but induction hob, sandwich toaster & kettle for cooking but we managed fine without. Swimming pool more for dips than meaningful lap swimming but often we had it to ourselves. The air con couldn't quite cope with the heat of late July/early August but then neither could we:) We LOVED the big garden swing, the amazing views of the coast & the SUNSETS! Markus is a really considerate host who responded quickly whenever necessary. And Francesco offers great local support. Our arrival flight was delayed so Francesco needed to be at the Villa late at night to greet us and he was really welcoming and helpful. A lovely place to stay.

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!

We had a lovely stay at Marco’s amazing home on the beach. What made our 4 days stay extra special in the downstairs apartment was the very comfortable bed, the new kitchen with everything we needed, the ample outdoor space and the beautiful beach right in front of us.

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!

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. 🍋💕

We had a great time … thank you !

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.

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.

We had a peaceful and enjoyable family time at this place. The accommodation is exactly as described and has hosted us very comfortably (4 people). The beautiful terrace with sea views and the private beach in the immediate vicinity guarantee to make the most of a privileged geographical location and one of the most beautiful coastline in all of Calabria. Lucia was a perfect and considerate host: responsive, cordial, accommodating and providing advice to ensure a successful stay. It was a very nice way to close our summer vacation and an experience that we will be delighted to repeat in the future.

Overall this place was exactly as advertised. Beautiful views and and amazing outdoor area that we took full advantage of, including the relaxing outdoor shower. Private parking and a quick drive to anywhere you needed to get to. I would highly recommend staying here 10/10

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.

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!

This place is a dream! It really is beyond beautiful. A traditional Sicilian villa, which has been lovingly taken care of and feels like a family treasure. The garden is incredible, with lots of beautiful flowers and fruit trees, and potted plants all along the walls and balcony. And the views are amazing! From the kitchen and the upstairs terrace you can see the Etna, but from all of the windows the sights are just beautiful. Giovanni is the best host, very friendly and has lots of great recommendations for the area, for sightseeing and food 🥰 I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

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.
