    The hosts are very welcoming and the room has an amazing view and is very comfortable. The host's mother is the sweetest Italian mama and was extremely nice with me, even giving me an anticipated breakfast because I had to leave earlier than usual.

    Nothing.

    The property is very central to everything. Five minutes from the bus terminal and easy to find. Maria and Rosario couldn’t do enough for u. I am lactose intolerant and Maria gave me nice breakfast taking into account my diet. Robert my husband had Maria’s beautiful pistachio and chocolate cakes. We would come back again for the breakfast and warm welcome.

    That we only stayed 2 nights before going Palermo (a run down grimey city) wish we'd stayed longer or visited another town.

    Rozario and her mother ensured a wonderful stay at Athena apartments, ensuring excellent communication before arrival and during our stay, arranging the parking nearby which was a 5min walk (20 euro a day), welcoming us to our beautiful clean room with prosecco and delicious chocolate cake, and providing a tasty breakfast in the morning (the omelette is excellent). The apartment is located on the same road as the cable car (10 euro per person) which is a must to get to the bottom and visit the 3 beaches. The quaint town at the top of the mountain is a must for shops and restaurants and a view of the sea and of course mount Etna. Overall a wonderful stay - thank you :)

    The most beautiful view in Taormina! An easy walk to the Main Street in Taormina but away from the busy streets. Also super close to the cable car terminal. The hosts were so warm and welcoming! Offering great recommendations, free welcome snacks and even some surprise Arancini!! The communication was great throughout. Beautiful finishes in the room. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable but waking up to that view made it so worth it. Grazie!

    There is no parking but the host booked one for us, however we stayed less than 24 hours and we had to pay a supplement of the daily rate (that goes only up to noon, no matter when you check in). The breakfast was nice with a homemade omelette but could be improved with some fresh bakery.

    Family B&B, the host was very nice, we were welcomed with a glass of prosecco and a home made pie and he gave great advice on local restaurants and directions. The room is modern, calm, small but confortable, the real asset is the balcony with a stunning sea view, having our breakfast there was the best.

    The view was amazing, just like in the pictures. We were welcomed by the hosts with prosecco and sweets :) The mother of Rosario is a very good cook. She cooked for us breakfast which was delicious. Everything was great, the place is very quiet and clean. Thank you Rosario for everything!

    Room is small, but perfect for a few nights.

    Great hospitality, welcome prosecco and cakes, great breakfast, beautiful terrace with sea view. Owners are very great hosts, offered us the better room because they were not fully booked. We left early morning and they packed breakfast for us the evening before.

    The only tiny downside was the lack of a kettle in the room - there was no opportunity to make oneself a hot tea during the day or in the evening.

    The stay was very enjoyable. The room was spacious, clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The view from the balcony was out of this world, simply beautiful! The owner and his mother took care of our comfort throughout our stay. Communication via WhatsApp was quick and efficient. The breakfasts were delicious, especially the omelets - as light as a cloud! And freshly squeezed orange juice was the best I've ever had! We will definitely return to Taormina and would love to visit Athena Charming Rooms again. Thank you for an unforgettable stay and see you soon! :)

    Rosario and his mother are very friendly and considerate. Rosario wanted to know our arrival time, so he could be there and welcome us with juice and delicious home made cake. He made us feel at home. He also made a reservation for us at a restaurant nearby. The room and the bathroom are a bit small, but for us no problem. The room had a balcony with a very nice sea view, where we had our breakfast. The location is also good, I would say around 7 minutes walking to Porta Messina, and 2 minutes to Taormina terminal bus.
