Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bova Marina

Sergio’s villa was the most beautiful place that we have ever stayed. Olive and citrus trees right in the yard and pristine views of Mount Etna. Restaurants, coffee, shops, and pharmacies were all within short walks from the home. I would stay again in a heartbeat, if Sergio would have us.

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

Perfect location right near the entrance for the old town

L’appartement est parfait, confortable et spacieux. Idéal pour visiter Milazzo et l’accueil de Stephano est vraiment amical !!! J’ai beaucoup aimé venir à Milazzo chez Stephano et j’y reviendrai assurément et avec grand plaisir !

I highly recommend this Villa - it surpassed our expectations. The best aspect is Maurizio’s services and excellent communication. He helped organise transfers (even at very short notice), arranged pizza chefs at the villa, and reliably responded to all our requests promptly. Hospitality and care like a 5* hotel. I planned a trip for 4 days for a group of 14 girls in mid-May. As soon as we landed in Catania, we felt we were being personally looked after. Maurizio helped me pre-arrange minibus transfers and kept in regular contact to ensure all was well. Exploring the grounds of the villa was a highlight. We enjoyed fresh oranges from the trees and squeezed large lemons into our drinks. There’s an excellent outdoor gazebo area with concrete ground and tent-like roof surrounded by beautiful trees. The terraces provide beautiful views of the sea, sunset and islands. The kitchen is small but was sufficient to cook for 14 people, with large pots/pans. Bedrooms huge and spacious

The check-in was flexible and easily arranged. The villa was beautiful and very comfortable for two couples, located outside of the city which makes it easy to unplug and relax. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Our stay in Sicily was truly unforgettable! The house had a beautiful character, filled with charming details that made it feel like a home. The garden was a stunning oasis, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the warm Sicilian evenings. Our host, Carlo, was exceptional—always available to answer questions and provide recommendations. The highlight of our trip was the incredible five-course Sicilian dinner Carlo organized for us, showcasing the region's delicious cuisine. Each dish was a delight! The location itself is a must-visit, with breathtaking views and rich culture all around. We felt immersed in the beauty and warmth of Sicily. Highly recommend this lovely spot for anyone looking to experience the best of the island!

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 .

Très bon séjour et belle expérience pour découvrir la Sicile. Climatisation dans les chambres, une obligation en Sicile au mois juillet. La chambre parentale est immense. TV dans les chambres avec wifi, indispensable si vous avez des enfants. Grande cuisine qui fait pièce à vivre et grand balcon qui fait le tour de l’appartement, permet d’avoir quasiment 360 degrés de vision, avec évidemment l’Etna, vu sur piscine du balcon et au loin la mer. Piscine, indispensable avec la chaleur, et surtout 24/24 avec lumière tamisée, que j’ai vraiment apprécié avec de l’eau salée, transat et parasol. Parking privé avec télécommande. Accueil au top, bons renseignements et surtout toujours disponible. Merci Antonio et Salvatore pour ce beau séjour 😍

A charming and beautifully located spot in the heart of Taormina. The space was clean, well-maintained, and perfectly situated for exploring the area. The host was attentive and maintained excellent communication throughout our stay.

We stayed 4 nights in the flat and went on day trips to Syracusa, Taormina and Etna. First, the flat is confortable, with every bedrooms having shower and toilets. The living room/kitchen is big enough to have breakfast but not enough confortable if you plan to stay the all day inside. Secondly, but up to me, it is well decorated with upcycled stuff. Finally, the flat is well located. Lots of restaurants and bar near by. And few minutes walking from main touristic area. Stazione centrale might be a little bit far away.

We loved this place! If you want a private spot more on the countryside but still close to the beach, Taormina, Catania and visiting the Etna this is the best. We stayed for a week and want to come back if we visit Sicily again. Thanks for hosting Andrea!

Majutuskoht on hästi askeetlik kuid kõik vajalik on olemas. Küll aga tuleb ise osta tee, kohvi, pesuvahendid ja muud igapäevatarbed, mis paljudes majutuskohtades on olemas. Seega pikemaks peatumiseks sobib hästi. Asukoht see-eest on suurepärane. Väga lähedal Piazza del Duomo, supermkarketid, rongijaam, bussijaam - kõik on jalutuskäigu kaugusel. Omaette majake annab mõnusa privaatsuse ja hubase olemise.

Nous avons séjourné pendant une semaine à 6 personnes dans la partie a l étage de la maison. L appartement ne correspond pas tout à fait aux photos puisqu une chambre a été ajoutée dans le salon … mais la pièce de vie reste très spacieuse. Il n y avait pas de volets ( et pas de rideaux opaques dans le salon) ce qui est dommage quand on dort dans le salon et que le soleil se lève a 6h … et surtout pour couper du soleil quand il y fait très chaud . La cuisine n était pas suffisamment équipée plutôt rustique Heureusement que Sonia s est montrée réactive à nos demandes. La Clim était indispensable mais n est pas assez performante pour rafraîchir les chambres. Je dirais que l appartement vaut le coup pour la terrasse et la vue sur Taormina et la tranquillité s il y a du monde au rdc ( cet appartement doit être plus adapté pour un long séjour) .les extérieurs sont vraiment magiques et très appréciables en période de canicule ils sont d ailleurs très bien entretenus .

Elisa and her sister were super helpful and responsive. The house is very nice and has two spacious bedrooms. The location is excellent, just a few minutes walking to a lift thay brings you straight to Taormina. Me and my friends had a great time there and recommend it!

Hôte accueillant et logement très agréable ! Spacieux avec une vue magnifique

We were two Canadian couples staying for 5 nights (after visiting Milano/Genova), with a car that we rented at Catania airport. We arrivred at 9PM but our host Nando was communicating us and received us in person. Upon arrival, fridge had some complimentary sandwiches, juice drinks and snacks, and a delicious homemade cake. Lovely place, peaceful, spacious, additional to detail, comes as advertised. Beautiful 180 degree view, when sitting outside by the pool, and even from main salon/kitchen. Loved the bedrooms and in particular the high quality mattresses and sheets. Made good use of the washing machine as we had a lot of laundry from our first week in Italy. Nando was very thoughful and proactive in checking in on us and suggesting places to visit and eat at. Good location, about a 10-15 minute drive to Taormina parking and a short drive to get on highway to visit Mount Etna or Syracuse/Ortigia. We had a wonderful stay in Sicily, thank you Nando!

Everything from the booking to check in and recommendations was great!!! But the best part was the view. 5 stars…we loved our stay and already want to return

We enjoyed our stay in Villa Ambra. The Villa is a good size and accommodated our two families. We walked several times to the shops a short walk from the Villa in the morning to buy things for breakfast but there are also cafés and grocery shops nearby as well. The Villa felt very friendly and inviting with a useful sized outdoor pool. We ate inside in the large dining room and outside, sheltered from the sun. The Villa felt like home and we were settled in very quickly. The views from the windows were great but slightly dampened by the unfinished building down the hill. Nevertheless, we had a beautiful view of Mount Etna from the window of the Villa. The hardware provided to support our stay was great and made the holiday very relaxed, but anyway, the caretakers live locally if we had any queries. The Villa is a short bus ride from Taormina, a beautiful old Hillside town that is definitely worth a visit. Personally, We will miss Villa Ambra and look forward to returning.

Melania è stata gentile e disponibile da subito. La casa è super carina e comoda. Immersa nel parco naturale, vicina alle gole dell'Alcantara. Tranquilla e rilassante ma comunque non distante al centro abitato. La famiglia di Melania, che abita al piano di sotto, si è resa disponibile per qualsiasi cosa. Torneremo molto volentieri e lo consiglierò ad amici.

A lovely quiet and relaxing place to stay. Ideal for couples. The apartment was clean to a high standard and had a really comfy bed, we asked for extra pillows and we were given them straight away. Lovely swimming pool and plenty of sunbeds. It was very quiet around the pool and on some days we had it all to ourselves. we stayed in a ground floor apartment and had a lovely terrace to sit outside. fantastic air conditioning and kept the room lovely and cool. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Plenty of room for free parking right outside.

Denne leiligheten var et lite stykke luksus! Vi ble personlig tatt i mot ved ankomst og fikk en hyggelig omvisning med praktisk informasjon. Vi var fem voksne, og det føltes veldig behagelig med så mange bad og stor leilighet. Uteplassen var romslig med mange sitteplasser og flott utsikt. Topp beliggenhet med kort gangavstand til alt - og likevel meget fredelig. Felles svømmebasseng var rent med mye plass og hadde også tilgang til renslig toalett og dusj. Anbefales på det sterkeste!

Highly recommended for people who expect privacy. It’s a modest but Clean and comfortable apartment. All things in descrption were found inside although it takes a bit time to guess for example how to turn on THE washing machine ,THE oven or warm Water. Instructions from Valentina are however clean. You can chill outside with beautiful view of perfectly maintained garden and sea view . THE biggest plus is also Access to beautiful pool, water is clean and its pretty big, circa 18 metres of length. Valentina is very caring person and despite not being present in Calabria , she gives all details about check in, house rules , places to visit, where to eat or buy local cheese. That was very helpful for us and I’m sure without her tips we would be unaware of many things around.

Merci Claudia, les instructions pour l'arrivée et le depart était très simple et flexibles. L'appartement était très calme, avec une belle vue, et un environnement agréable au milieu des citronniers et des cycas ! L'appartement est très bien équipé et nous n'avons manqué de rien, c'était un très bon choix pour notre famille avec nos 2 derniers enfants. La piscine etait un peu fraiche à cette saison, mais nous nous sommes quand même baigné. J'imagine que ce doit être exceptionnel l'été de retour d'une randonnée sur l'Etna autour d'un barbecue ! Nous avons apprécié la fonctionnalite de l'appartement, prendre le petit déjeuner au soleil sur la terrasse face à la mer, la quiétude des lieux et la vue sur l'Etna depuis la piscine. Merci beaucoup
