About this property

Small and charming fishing village, 15 km from Messina city, RODIA, overlooking the Aeolian islands.
It is only a 20-minute drive from Milazzo, the renowned location where hydrofoils leave for the Aeolian islands.
The village is far from worldliness and mass tourism, but equipped with all comforts.
There are bars, restaurants, 2 equipped beaches and kilometers of free and unspoiled beaches.
Near Rodia there are several tourist visits to do: going towards Messina (passing by the coast) you will meet the two lakes of Ganzirri, where you can enjoy excellent local fish specialties. Shortly thereafter you meet Punta Faro, with its Pylon that seems to touch Calabria.
Half an hour by highway from Messina you reach the renowned Taormina, with Giardini Naxos and its scenographic Greek theater. Always close to Taormina you can spend a wonderful day visiting the Alcantara Gorges, and the typical village overlooking the sea, where they shot scenes from the film 'The Godfather', which is called Forza D'agro '.
Continuing on the highway, you cannot help but see the spectacular Etna Volcano on your right, one of the few still active in Italy. We recommend a day trip to visit it on foot or by jeep.
Continuing, you will find Acitrezza and Acireale (two wonderful fishing villages), and then go directly to Catania and then to the airport (from Rodia about 1h by car).
Going to Palermo, however, there are various places to visit: the Marinello lakes under the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Tindari, Santo Stefano di Camastra (famous for its wonderful ceramics), Cefalù and Capo D'Orlando, both seaside villages from absolutely visit.
Although not a social place, Rodia allows in less than an hour's drive to visit typical marine locations and more. Traveling by car, not on the coast but towards the hinterland, therefore on the mountains, you will have the opportunity to visit beautiful perched villages (Salice, Dinnamare and its sanctuary, The Nebrodi mountains etc.).
Even according to Rodia there is no lack of fun. The beaches on the beach always offer various activities, group games, for children, theme nights and water sports.
To reach Rodia, arriving by plane, you can choose two airports: Fontanarossa airport in Catania (1h by car) or the airport of the Strait of Reggio Calabria (10 min by car and 20 min by ferry to get to Messina).

Short stay in Rodia

Fantastic Host and apartment. Apartment has every facility you could hope for. My wife and 3 young adult boys stayed and loved the place. Full time parking spot , excellent entertainment area with a BBQ and lovely garden. Short stroll to the beach and can use the resort pool. Restaurant attached to front of complex has some of the best pizzas you could hope for. Mary was an excellent host and very accomodating with check in and check out times Would definitely return

Wonderful stay and highly recommended. Mary our host has excellent communication and her home is just beautiful. Spacious outdoor area where you can enjoy breakfast in the morning and a bbq at night. Mary has thought of everything to make our stay feel like home. Bathroom and shower is excellent, with a second outdoor shower with warm water. The home is beautifully decorated. I will certainly love to return. Thank you Mary!

Micheletti House Rodia

It is a great location, by the beach with restaurants, beach bar & a local shop all 2 minutes away. The house is very comfortable, clean, spacious & well equipped. The large terrace is perfect with its covered space to eat & relax. It has a handy outside shower in addition to the very nice bathroom. Mary was really welcoming & helpful, keeping in touch to check that everything was ok. We had a lovely time.There is a large pool in the complex, but it is worth noting that it wasn’t open until 1st July.

Très chouette location

Nous avons passé une semaine dans ce très chouette appartement (nous sommes une famille de 5 personnes). Il est spacieux, tout confort. Mary et son mari (ils parlent un peu français) ont été très gentils et avaient bien tour préparé. La piscine (surveillée) est assez grande. il faut toutefois être rapide pour avoir un transat et l'on ne peut se baigner qu'à 3 en même temps (il faut un bonnet de la résidence pour pouvoir se baigner). Cet inconvénient à un avantage, la piscine n'est pas non plus bondée. La plage est à 50 m et est agréable. Le point négatif est l'environnement proche, un seul restaurant et pas d'animation le soir, si vous voulez sortir, il faudra prendre la voiture. En tout cas, pour se reposer, être tranquille dans un endroit très agréable, c'est une bonne adresse.

La casa al mare dei miei sogni

Ci siamo stati due settimane ed è stata una vacanza bellissima: dalla casa, alla spiaggia, al contesto: tutto ottimo! Molto accessibile ai servivi, bar, ristoranti, negozi, farmacia, nelle immediate vicinanze si trova poi, uno dei posti più rinomati del messinese dove poter degustare degli ottimi "Pitoni" ( specialità locale calzoni farciti)..., il complesso si trova praticamente a un passo dalla spiaggia sia attrezzata che libera. Per chi lo desidera è presente una piscina grandissima, prospiciente l'ampio patio dell'appartamento attrezzato con tende da sole, comodi lettini, tavolo sedie e barbecue; di rilievo nello spazio esterno molto grande, ( patio) si segnalano una comoda e bellissima doccia e un comodo piano lavoro dotato di lavabo doppio in muratura. Tutte le finiture sono di ottima qualità, sicuramente superiore alla media; l'appartamento all'interno é arredato con molta cura e ottimo gusto, dotato di ogni confort ( climatizzatori, lavatrice , forno tradizionale e microonde, cucina super attrezzata) . Si denota una cura dei particolari fuori dal comune, tutto è fatto con un ottimo gusto e attenzione. Posto auto in cortile. Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti tanto da aver già prenotato per la prossima estate. La consigliamo a tutti vivamente.
