Vacation rentals in Calatabiano

Armando and Luisa were fantastic hosts. The view is incredible, location walkable to restaurants, and it had plenty of amenities including a washer. We were sorry to leave as I will miss waking up to that view.

Christina is a fantastic host. She met us at the bus stop with a friend who spoke English even though we were a little later than our original time estimate. She walked us back to her place and explained all the features as well as a lot of the local things to do. Because she knew we were going to be a bit late getting there she also texted me lots of information about the place as well as interesting things to do. Very responsive to my messages as well. She also was there when we checked out and offered to go for a coffee but unfortunately we needed to catch our bus. Her place is right across the street from the beach either free or paid, a great location to take advantage of the beach weather. We would definitely recommend her place for anyone looking for accommodations on the beach and can’t wait to go back someday.

The accommodation is clean, well decorated and maintained, sufficiently equiped for self-catering, very peaceful, with beautiful views from the terrace. It is accessible via a rather windy road, which is well-maintened and sufficiently wide for two cars in most of the places, but still requires a skillful driving if you want to explore the area. There is a lot to see on this island whose history is so rich within 1-2 hours drive from the accommodation. As far as the access to the sea is concerned, it took us under 30 min to drive to the coast in Taormina or Gardini Naxos where nice beaches are available. The sea was comfortable for swimming, clean and calm during the last week of this October when we stayed here, but this is not guaranteed for this time of the year. The hosts, Antonella and Giotgio, are very pleasant and were always ready to help.

Our stay was perfect! The property looked just like the photos. The only hiccup we experienced was the shower drain was clogged causing the water to spill over into the rest of the bathroom. The property manager was quick to resolve! We would definitely recommend this property and would love to come back.

This place is so lovely. Relaxing and well appointed with an amazing view. There is some road noise because it’s up the hill from the highway so if you are very noise sensitive that could be an issue but we did not find it an issue at all.

The apartment was lovely. Perfect location; on the beach, short trip to bus stop and shop. You could also walk to Taormina. You could admire the sunrise from your own balcony. The environment was quiet and nothing disrupted to sleep. Andrea was very friendly. Instructions clear and proactive. Highly recommend!

Amazing and cozy apartment with an astonishing huge terrace overlooking the sea. The location is perfect - it is right ON the beach, and at the same time is very quiet and private. If you would like to sleep listening to the soft sound of waves, it would be a great choice😻 The apartment is very clean and has everything - coffee machine, dishwasher, even the essentials for cooking like salt and oil, when we arrived there was water and things for breakfast, also a sweet surprise in the fridge☺️ And Giulia is awesome - very friendly, responsive and proactive! Overall we are very happy with our stay, thank you Giulia for the amazing experience!

This apartment is a gem. We felt at home very quickly. We even had some candy from a local Pastisserie. The apartment is ideal for two people. A small kitchen, a small bathroom, but absolutely sufficient. A kitchen equipped with everything we needed. In addition to the classic things, there was also a toaster, coffee maker, basic spices, oil, tea towels. It's clear that Gaia wants us to have everything we need, and it's not just a soulless business place to stay. It smells of Sicily. The bedroom is gorgeous, large. The biggest treasure is the balcony. It is across the entire apartment with an entrance from the bedroom and living room. The beach view and you fall asleep with the noise of the waves. Bus stop about 7min walk, around about 6 restaurants plus x others in the town of Giardini Naxos next to, which is about 25 minutes on foot. Taormina 25 minutes by bus, Catania hour by bus. It's a magical place that I can recommend 15/10. Thank you Gaia
