    I have no complaints whatsoever!

    When I arrived I was immediately greeted by the very friendly Antonella who explained everything and gave me a map of the wonderful town of Taormina. I had a single room with seperate but private and clean bathroom, I could use the communal living room and kitchen, and the balcony was perfection itself: a great view and a blooming tree under it that produced a heavenly orange flower scent. You can't have a better spot to drink your morning Bialetti coffee! It felt like a very cosy, friendly home. I loved everything about this place! The location was very close to the main street, but in a small street so the nights and mornings were very quiet. The view from my room was just the street, but who stays in their room if they can have... the perfect balcony! <3 Very good value for money!

    The living room is untidy. The kitchen and fridge is full of old food stuff. Central heating in the guest rooms is not warm enough (Radiator too small).

    GREAT LOCATION Pleasant owner and assistant. Roomy living room and balcony, good for watching sunrise.

    The studio apartment is excellent, great location, the balcony is superb, the view is great, beyond the words can describe. On the balcony there are tables, chairs and sun loungers so you can spend you rest time enjoying the view of the sea. The apartment is well equipped, it was everything you need. Ana is great host, her recommendations for restaurants were excellent. Our stay was enjoyable, with such a great accommodation it was easy to enjoy beautiful Taormina.

    The house is cluttered with different stuff. It is not pleasant to stay in common areas because of the disorder and cacofonia of things everywhere. It was hard to find a clean place in kitchen to cut the food. Im very sorry that such a beautiful place is so messy and dirty, it could be wonderful without piles of things.

    The place is located wonderfully: very close to the center but in a quiet small street with a beautiful view from the balcony. The room was small but cozy.

    Spacious, bright and comfortable room with a private bathroom and a small balcony with a lovely view. The kitchen and living room have that cozy feel of a home away from home. Perfectly located just a few steps from the city center and also very close to the bus station. The hostess was super sweet too. It was a great experience altogether.

    Location is ideal and close to everything. I've stayed in lodging 4 times in Taormina and know it well but this place was my favorite. Why? Antonella makes you feel you're home. She invites you to make your meals in the kitchen and the view from the living room is divine. She is a very warm person and made sure I found her place and showed me exactly where everything was in the house. She communicated with me before I got there and I appreciated this so much. She was the most kindhearted person who I've rented rooms and apartments from as she cares about your experience and comfort for your stay. Being a guest of Antonella was an ultra friendly and lovely experience. One of the best in my full-time traveling life. I will definitely stay at Dolphins Guest House again.

    We couldn’t stay longer

    We will never forget 3 mornings in which we admired the sunrise on the terrace of Signora Antonella.We also had a healthy breakfast with vegetables and fruits prepared by our host. If you want to fall in love with the colours of Taormina chose the Dolphins Guest House with the oustanding beautiful terrace of the upper suite. Grazie mille!
