Villa vacation rentals in Gravina di Catania

Nunzio was incredibly friendly and helpful! The house is beautiful and the location is amazing. The road to get there is a little rough but once you arrive you are greeted by 4 lovely cats and Bianca the dog. Everything went smoothly and Nunzio was always ready to help with whatever was necessary and gave lots of recommendations. Would recommend everyone to travel inwards instead of just staying along the coast and visit this place!

We had a fabulous stay at this lovely villa. Lella met us upon our arrival and had taken care to get the supplies we had requested. She sent us a short video on how to find the shortcut down the hill to town, which was easy to follow (be prepared for 130 steps), along with restaurant recommendations. The plunge pool was a godsend in the heat. We had a great time.

We had a fantastic eight day stay in Mario’s wonderful villa. The location and views are incredible and we would highly recommend staying here. Mount Etna even erupted and put on a display (which was fabulous to witness) and Mario was hot on the phone telling us to get outside at 11pm to view the spectacle. A perfect venue with lots of space for our large party of eight adults and two children, the surrounding patios gave amazing panoramic views of the sea and countryside. We loved picking fresh oranges and cherries daily which was so relaxing and tasty! It’s a short 15 minute walk to the local town with a wonderful bakery and butchers plus supermarkets all accessable. We will definitely return to this wonderful villa when revisiting Sicily and I can’t recommend it enough! Thank you Mario .

The villa was above and beyond what we imagined! The pictures do not do it justice! The hosts went above and beyond to welcome us into their own, helping us with every need and question. The included breakfasts were fantastic and we had the villa owner cook for us one night served by the pool and it was by far one of the best meals we had in all of Italy. The pool was such a special treat each evening after our day visiting Mt Etna (super close to access) or around town. We would highly recommend this place as it’s spacious (we had 8 and there was extra room) and the hosts really went above and beyond to help us with every need! The only downside we had was that we only stayed for 2 nights! We will return to Sicily just to stay at this villa again! Va bene! Grazie mille!

Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön - wir fanden sie sogar noch schöner als auf den Bildern. Die Straße ist zwar holprig und mit Schlaglöchern, aber für normale Autos kein Problem. Das ist es auf jeden Wert, da die Unterkunft etwas ganz besonderes ist. Der Pool war toll und alles super gepflegt. Maria war bei Fragen super erreichbar. Es war ein toller Aufenthalt und die Unterkunft ist sehr zu empfehlen.

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!

A beautiful villa with gorgeous private gardens and pool. You have a fabulous view of Mount Etna and another stunning view of the sea. This is a very peaceful place to stay with plenty of different areas to relax in the shade or sun. The outdoor dinning area is beautiful and allows you to eat outside even if it is raining. The villa itself is really spacious and great for two families or groups of friends. It is in a rural location, so a car is definitely needed. But it is lovely to have such a peaceful place to return to. Maria was a lovely host and her communication was amazing.

The house is beautiful - spacious and well furnished and decorated. Exactly as it appears in the photos, or possibly, even better. Our group of three couples were there for four nights and wished we could have stayed longer. We visited in May and it was a bit cool to be in the pool but we enjoyed lounging around it. A summer stay here would be fantastic! Luciano was an excellent host and offered good suggestions for dining and activities. Check in and check out was seamless. A car is needed if you want to sightsee beyond the village. However, it is ideally located to visit Syracuse, Catania and Taormina. And you are already halfway up to excursions on Mt. Etna.

This was our first visit to Sicily. We were a group of 8 with 3 families. We had plenty of space & privacy. The home is truly as beautiful as the photos & is like a step back in time. Maria is an amazing artist who added her special touches all over the home This was Francesco’s grandfathers home built in the late 1800’s. The backyard overlooks the town below & the ocean w Mt Etna on the other side. Magnificent! The added bonus of Rosaria’s services made us feel incredibly pampered. Her services are an additional fee but are very well worth it. She cooked 2 amazing meals for us (her chicken cacciatore is the absolute best!). She also helped secure a restaurant reservation & transportation. Note that a driver or rental car is a must. Unless you are fluent in Italian you will need translation apps. Truly a lifesaver as Sicilians often do not speak English. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever fortunate enough to visit the beautiful island of Sicily.

My husband is in a wheelchair and Maria went out of her way to rent a wheelchair for our stay. The villa looked better in person than in the pictures. Everything was clean and the kitchen well stocked, including a juicer for fresh orange juice.

My family and I stayed at Villa Vittorianna for a week in June. The property is beautiful, with panoramic views of Giardini Naxos, the Adriatic Sea + Taormina (from the pool) and Mt. Etna (from the rooftop deck). The surrounding neighborhood had easy access to many excellent restaurants, cafes and beach clubs. Emanuele was a great host and Oli, the local property manager was extremely friendly and responsive. I recommend this stay for anyone looking for a luxurious beach getaway in Sicily. We will remember this week for years to come.

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. 🍋💕

A great home away from home for the Christmas Holiday. The kitchen was amazing and allowed for us to make all our traditional Christmas dishes. Furthermore, the living room was cozy. The couch was perfect and allowed multiple people to curl up and watch Christmas movies. Additionally, the gaming room provided much needed space for board games, karaoke, puzzles, and reading. The house was immaculate, and our host was absolutely wonderful. We showed up late the first evening and our host made traditional Sicilian delicacies for us to eat. The arancini were delicious. I would 100% come back, especially in the summer so I can enjoy their beautiful pool. 100% recommend.

This house was one of the most amazing places I've ever stayed. We went for a week and a half on a family trip, and it could not have been more incredible. Somehow, the grounds are even more lush and beautiful and spacious than the photos make them look. Incredible views of Mt. Etna and innumerable spots for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Our manager of the property was more like a concierge. Gianluca was more welcoming and helpful than anyone I've encountered in years renting Airbnb places. We will surely be back and can't recommend it highly enough for anyone checking it out!

Our group of 4 couples thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mara's house. There was plenty of room for all of us and the outdoor spaces were truly amazing. The kitchen is on the small side but we had no problems cooking meals for eight. We took the short drive into Santa Venerina for groceries and a couple of meals. The streets were not as narrow as some Italian villages. The best part of the stay was Mara herself! She is so helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Sandra was amazing. Very responsive and friendly. The place was perfect. 3 nice sized bedrooms each with their own bathroom. Nice living/dining space and nicely appointed kitchen area. Outdoor balcony was the perfect spot for breakfast with a stunning view. The pool was the star of the show, complete with lounge and bar area, bathroom and outdoor shower. Overall a perfect spot to anchor yourself as you explore the region.

Our stay at this villa in Sicily was nothing short of exceptional. With 14 of us, we were at full capacity, yet the space never felt cramped. There were 2 to each bedroom where we could retreat to, and the communal areas—especially the indoor dining area and expansive outdoor space—were ideal for relaxing and gathering as a group. The villa offered the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern comfort. It felt like an authentic Sicilian experience, without sacrificing any of the amenities we needed. The views were breath-taking, the facilities top-notch, and every detail seemed thoughtfully considered. What truly elevated our stay, though, were the hosts, Alessandra and Toni. I usually prefer a more hands-off approach, but they struck the perfect balance—always available, attentive, and incredibly supportive, without ever being intrusive. Their warmth and care added a personal touch that made all the difference. We truly struck gold with this villa & it’s amazing hosts.

Lovely house tucked away behind the bustling main street in beautiful Taormina. It is very close to a number of restaurants and eateries, yet is private and peaceful. Livio was a very attentive host, giving us many excellent recommendations and offering us the opportunity to leave our bags at the house to fit in with our arrival and departure. Highly recommend!

Отличное место! Удобно до всех основных достопримечательностей. Хозяин очень помог в организации местных приключений!

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans ce très beau palmento. Espaces suffisants pour 3 adultes dans une maison bien pensée. Les espaces extérieurs sont un vrai plus ! Véronique, qui s'occupe du logement, est très communicante et a résolu très rapidement nos petits tracas (ampoule grillée) et à toujours répondu rapidement à mes questions avant et pendant le séjour. L'endroit est très calme et point de départ idéal pour visiter l'Etna Est Sud-Est.

We spent a fantastic week at Marikas villa, the pool and outdoor areas in particular are beautiful, relaxing and very well equipped. The house is spacious, cosy and also well supplied with everything needed. Our only comment, which is not in Marikas control, is the road is very busy and it can be difficult to walk to the shops. We loved our stay though and its very convenient to Mt Etna, the airport and Taormina. We would definitely recommend this to friends and family.

Das Haus liegt am Füße des Ätnas mit Blick auf den Vulkan und das Meer. Der große Garten mit Zitronen- und Orangenbäumen hat einen schönen Pool, der allerdings renoviert werden sollte, da die Mosaik-Fliesen ziemlich ausgebrochen sind. Das Haus ist ideal für eine große Familie mit 3 Doppel Schlafzimmern und 3 Bädern dazu noch 1 Einzelzimmer und ein Kinderzimmer. Es gab genügend frische Handtücher und extra Pool- Handtücher, saubere Bettwäsche, reichlich Gläser und Geschirr. Die Küche war gut bestückt, manche Teile nicht auf dem neuesten Stand. Die Einrichtung besteht aus alten italienischen Möbeln, dazu Ikea Kleinteilen. Das historische Haus ist ganz typisch für die Region, der bauliche Zustand ist für Mitteleuropäer grenzwertig. Schön ist der Essplatz im Garten unter dem großen Schirm. Ein Koch kann gebucht werden, das war super! Leider befindet sich eine Event Location in direkter Nähe, die sehr laute Musik bis 2 Uhr hat uns sehr gestört. Trotzdem hatten wir eine schöne Zeit!

Unser Aufenthalt war einfach fantastisch! Die Unterkunft war makellos sauber und sehr gepflegt – wir haben uns sofort wie zu Hause gefühlt. Der Ausblick auf das Meer und den majestätischen Ätna ist atemberaubend und bleibt unvergesslich. Ein besonderes Highlight war der große, wunderschöne Pool – perfekt zum Entspannen und Genießen der herrlichen Umgebung. Die Gastgeberin war jederzeit erreichbar, äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist traumhaft – ruhig und idyllisch, aber dennoch gut erreichbar. Wir kommen ganz bestimmt wieder und können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen. Vielen Dank für diese wundervolle Zeit!🫶

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.
