Family-friendly holiday rentals in Nicolosi

What a lovely property to fit a large family. About 20 mins to Taormina, you find yourself removed from the tourists and able to enjoy this beautiful house and outdoor space. We arranged for a chef to come and cook at the house for us and was a very memorable experience. Thanks so much and will stay again!

We stayed with a group of 8 people in Salvo's chalet. Soon after booking the stay, we were sent a manual about the house. The manual was very helpful and helpful. This allowed us to gather information about supermarkets, activities in the area and general information about the stay itself. In addition, we were able to order a cold dinner via the manual. We did this so we could get to the table on arrival. The dinner was homemade by Salvo and tasted fantastic, absolutely recommended! We liked the stay in the chalet itself very much. There is plenty of room to stay overnight and to do something inside and out of the house. The location in relation to Mount Etna is fantastic and you can start a hike in no time. The view towards the sea was also very beautiful. We recommend anyone who wants to stay with a group around Mount Etna to stay in Salvo's chalet!

Beautiful apartment with good location, great consideration and very helpful

An ideal base to explore Taormina and Etna from. The rooms were large, and the welcome pack of food and drink was very much appreciated. Such a beautiful view and the jacuzzi made it perfect.

Very good place, we had a wonderful 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 fabulous time at Mario’s place with our two young kids. The place is nicer than the photos. The hospitality was amazing and we appreciated Mario going out of his way to accommodate our late check in. The local recommendations were lovely. We even took Mario’s help to secure some restaurant bookings. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it.

Superb location, right in the heart of Catania. Loads of superb local restaurants, fish market and the Elephant statue/ Cathedral on your doorstep. Terrace was amazing with stunning views of Etna and the town, beds comfy and a jacuzzi bath to ease the aches from volcano climbing (and two bathrooms was a plus). 200 yards from the airport bus on our return. Just be aware, as other reviews have said, it can get noisy in the evenings until late and noisy in the early mornings as they set-up in the market. I took earplugs and slept well but do consider this. Otherwise a fantastic place to stay.

Fabulous place! Close to all Toarmina has to offer. Quiet and wonderful view from patio of mt etna.

Antonella is super nice and a great host. Her place is tiny but we figure out how to accommodate everything, put the luggages underneath the table and get before the clothing for the day, there’s no space for medium luggage. Is exactly like she describes. It’s a sofa bed and I could not deal with, so we put the mattress on the floor and slept super well 🤗 she left cookies and wine, so nice of her. Linen and towels high quality! The location is premium!

Valentina’s place was a great spot. Walkable and close to the water. Parking was tricky, especially with a big van, but we always managed to find a spot after a few circles. The Apt is on the 3rd floor without an elevator. It was fine but with big suitcases, it was a bit tiresome. On our first night, we didn’t have hot water, but that was an easy fix with Valentina sending her handyman over. The bathroom shower in the 2nd floor doesn’t drain well, so that was a bit of an issue. But overall, I would rate our stay a solid 4.5 stars. Great location, the place was clean and cute. Valentina was responsive and was kind enough to have some beverages and a few snacks for us. We really enjoyed 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.

The stay and apartment can only be described as great. Joanna takes great care of guests, communication is very fast, the instructions provided are accurate and valuable. The apartment provides everything you need for every stay, with impeccable cleanliness. A big plus is the location within walking distance of the Duomo. Only be careful if you want to sleep for a long time because morning traffic won't be your ally 🙂

What a great experience - thanks so much!

We stayed for a week at 6 people on the upstairs part of the house. The apartment does not fully match the photos since a bedroom has been added to the living room … but the living room remains very spacious. There were no shutters ( and no opaque curtains in the living room) which is a shame when you sleep in the living room and the sun rises at 6 a.m. ... and especially to cut off the sun when it's very hot . The kitchen was not sufficiently equipped rather rustic Thankfully Sonia was responsive to our requests. The A/C was essential but not good enough to refresh the rooms. I would say that the apartment is worth it for the terrace and the view of Taormina and the tranquility if there are people on the ground floor ( this apartment must be more suitable for a long stay). The exteriors are really magical and very enjoyable during the heatwave they are also very well maintained .

A place of outstanding beauty, surrounded by lush orchards. Graziella and her husband are remarkable hosts: responsive, warm and very kind. Thanks to their valuable tips, we've discovered quality restaurants and fascinating sights to explore in the area. We immediately felt at home. Also, having arrived late at night, they had the delicacy to leave us breakfast for the next morning. An unforgettable stay.

Beautiful villa at the base of Mt. Etna. Very large pool and garden. Nadia and her family are close by and very responsive / always willing to help. The location is great as it is close to the volcano and a 15 min drive to the beaches. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back!

The apartment was spacious, very clean and the view from the very large deck was amazing. Check in was a breeze as we were given clear instructions on how to get to the parking garage. Francesca was extremely communicative and always ready to help. The town was a few minutes walk away and there were many good restaurants and shops here.

You will feel like in home with a 3 star chef. Hard to find better place to be.

Lovely Airbnb in a private compound. Walkable to the little village of Santa Tecla and to a Hotel with a nice Lido. Paolo was a great host and very responsive throughout the stay.

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.

Spacious apartment with excellent views of the water and surrounding hillside. The residential complex is picturesque and peaceful. Extremely convenient location, reachable by car from one side and walkable to the Corso Umberto and most of Taormina’s tourist attractions from the other. The hostess was very communicative and provided all the information we needed to comfortably enjoy our stay. Amenities and rooms matched pictures and descriptions. Checkin and checkout were flexible. Can’t recommend enough!

Cute place to relax! The host was really nice!

Guilia's place is spectacular! It's better than the photos with gorgeous views of the sea, mountains, city and even Calabria in the distance. The grounds are immaculate with a huge private terrace for meals and drinks and a massive pool that feels like your own private resort. Giulia's family lives in the other units and were always friendly and helpful but not intrusive in the least. Even Papaya the dog knew when to leave us to ourselves lol! The interior is pristine and spacious. As many have pointed out the town center is about a 10-15 minute walk away. So you are very close to all the restaurants and shops but away from the tourist hordes. Taormina is hilly but most of the walk is relatively flat. Traffic is not a worry, we did not encounter much of it on our walks. Also, Italian drivers, although speedy, are careful and well aware of pedestrians. Giulia is a fantastic host, always quick to provide recommendations and respond to our questions. Wish we could have stayed forever!
