Villa vacation rentals in Villa San Giovanni

This place has been a highlight of our trip. It is peaceful, comfortable, very spacious and full of character. Our hosts were amazing, friendly, full of local knowledge and very prompt answering any questions we had. Our arrival was welcoming with delicious snacks provided and a free guided tour of how to get to the best local shops. It is close to everything that you would want to see and there is a restaurant within walking distance. The outside shower is amazing, but there are also 2 indoor alternatives. Jane and Bill

Carla is an excellent host. she really cares about her guests and communicates as soon as you make the booking to make sure everything goes smoothly. We loved staying in her beautiful home. It felt like we were staying at the home of a friend.

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 :-)

Beautiful little cottage in a great garden. You can grill, lie in the hammock or simply enjoy the tranquility and do nothing. On foot, it is about 10 to 15 minutes to both the city and the beach. If you want to be a little more remote from the hustle and bustle, this is the place to be. Antonio is very helpful and also has a few tips for going out.

Great place to stay, security was top notch in a gated community , we felt at ease for the children to play. We really enjoyed the pool especially on the days the ocean was too wavy to swim in. Overall the villa is a great size , well maintained and much more modern than the other villas that were for rent. Antonio is by far respected by my family and I, he was very communicative & suggested good restaurants to munch at . He maintained the property during our stay and cleaned the pool multiple times ! We will be back again

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

Very nice stay, beautiful location with an amazing view thanks to the terrace The set is quite old and would ask for a refresh ( especially the bathrooms) A shutter was broken at head height and couldn't get up from where a few shocks!! WiFi wasn't working!! But great stay!!

It would take more than five stars to do right to our experience with Villa Artemis. So far we always had good experiences with the accomedations we booked via AirBnB, but Villa Artemis totally exceeded our already high expectations. It was simply perfect. The house is spacious, tastefully decorated, and with no less than two living/dining rooms and two bathrooms. Outside the house there is are plenty of places to sit and relax with wonderfull views on both the sea and the Etna. The house is clean and well equiped. Everything you need for a great and carefree holliday is there. This review wouldn't be complete however if I didn't mention the family that hosts the place. Francesco, Giovanna, Antionio and Valeria were very kind, always willing to assist. They helped us out more than once. We are really happy to have met them, and hope to meet again.

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 !

The house is wonderful. Magnificent views and ample space to enjoy a holiday of quality and tranquility. Highly recommended because it is also close to Tropea and many fantastic sea areas but with the possibility of also enjoying a beautiful "condominium" sea.

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

We spent over a week at Marco’s place with 2 young children & my parents in law and it was absolutely spectacular. The house itself is very spacious and had a well stocked kitchen. It was so nice to come back to such a peaceful & relaxing home after a busy day exploring. The view of Mount Etna is really very impressive. The pool was a huge plus and we squeezed oranges from the orchard daily. While most afternoons we had aperitif under the grape vines. Bliss. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again in a heart beat. I highly recommend it. Marco was most attentive and very quick at responding to all queries and provided some great recommendations.
