"Do not arrive before 2pm. We arrived at 1:40 and needed to wait until the door was unlocked. The room was clean and the 2 staff members were pleasant. The elevator does not work and we needed to walk up 3 flights. I would not recommend this hotel if you have any mobility issues. The airport shuttle was a taxi that cost 30 euros.

"Really nice place to stay and very clean. The room exceeded my expectations and I really enjoyed my stay in Catania here. It’s just on the corner from the Main Street in Catania which is perfect but also quiet in the evening as it can get busy outside!
The hosts were great!"

This winery-accommodation was simply magical. We had a friendly check in. After dinner, we returned to have a wine tasting. We bought some wine and sipped it by the pool as we watched the sunset. In the morning, we watched the sunrise over the vineyard. It was breath taking! Excellent service and experience.

This entire property was beautiful and so well maintained. My parents and I enjoyed the triple room very much. The staff was very helpful, and paid a lot of attention to details, even already setting out gluten free pastries for me after I asked if they had some the day before. The pool was very nice and we enjoyed the food at the restaurant. We didn’t have a car on this trip, so we enjoyed our time at the hotel for 3 nights. I would definitely book again, and recommend this place to anyone...

The 24/7 concierge was amazing! The staff were really helpful and answered any questions you had and were happy to book reservations to make your day trips as pleasant as possible. The complimentary breakfast every morning was fresh, hearty, and delicious - mad world to order eggs/omelets and coffee!

This hotel is an excellent base for exploring Taormina. It's inside the walls, near shops and restaurants (although on the opposite side of town from the Roman amphitheater). The service was excellent and friendly. The breakfasts, served on a rooftop with a commanding view, were outstanding - pretty much anything you might want, including eggs cooked to order. Caution: you can't pull your car up to the hotel, which is in a pedestrian-only area. You park in a multi-story garage, take the elevator...

Paola!!! We had an amazing time at Paola’s B and B Sicily in love. It was a lovely clean room and bathroom. It’s about 15 min outside of Taormina. You need a car to get to this B and B but it’s worth it. In order to get into the center of Taormina you have to go up the mountain and there are several hairpin turns, people park wherever they want to and parking is impossible and or very expensive. I also felt a little trapped when on top of Taormina so staying here was much better for us. Paola...

The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Gorgeous building with breathtaking view over Mediterranean sea and mount Etna.
High quality service.
Jianluga, bar tenders, provided very professional service to us.
We are sure we will back.

The property is located in the most perfect location right in the middle of the Main Street in Taormina. It is easy to access with your luggage after your taxi drops you off at the main area (ask them to drop you off at “Porto Catania”. Then it’s straight down the Main Street about 150 ft. The place has a charming courtyard, a great breakfast and a friendly couple that runs the B & B. It’s a great deal

We had a great experience at this hotel! The hotel is a few blocks off of the main walking street, but that ensures that it is quiet at night. You can exit the hotel through their back garden and walk down some steps to easily access the main walking area. I cannot say enough about the delicious breakfast, fresh Italian cheeses, delicious fruit, yogurt, great tea selection, Italian cured meats, hard boiled eggs, it was wonderful! We originally booked a standard room, which was fine. But during...

A delightful place to stay. The rooms were clean. The bathrooms were modern. We had an incredible view of Ragusa from our balcony. The breakfast was one of the best I've had with coffee to order and a variety of local pastries, juice, and fruit. The B&B is charming and well-located to walk to the local sites.
What makes this place stand out is the A+ customer service. They were responsive to the requests we made via email prior to our stay. Parking can be tight in that area, but when we...

The hotel is ideally located at the far end of the Giardini Naxos Beachfront. About 15 minutes walk from the Station. The Bus Stop for buses to Taormina, and from Catania Airport is opposite the hotel. There are plenty of Restaurants and Bars close-by along the seafront, within 5-15 minutes walk. Our room had a small balcony which looked directly out to sea.

Property and room were clean and well maintained. Breakfast buffet and staff were excellent.
Only problem was banging noises late at night from the room above. Also, stairs at entrance can be a problem for handicapped people.
Thank you.
