Just off the Sicilian coast in Italy by the Mediterranean Sea is a group of five islands, collectively known as the Aegadian Islands. Marettimo is one of them. Part of the municipality of Favignana, the island is not your typical bustling, modern European hangout spot for thrill-seekers or shopaholics obsessed with expensive Italian brands; this is a destination almost free of cars, hotels, and (overdone) hype. It has, however, endeared itself to scuba divers and sun chasers yearning for a largely unspoilt island. If this sounds tailormade for you, go one further and check out our list of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in the area as you begin to plan your trip.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.

Marettimo — the beauty of simplicity
Inconspicuous yet charming, perhaps the biggest takeaway from a trip to Marettimo is that there is value in simplicity, even where there is hardly any WiFi available; even when rudimentary fishing boats dominate the nearby waters instead of glitzy cruise liners. This place offers a different side to Italy that one might not often see, but one that could very well help foster a newfound appreciation for a lack of frills.
