    Easy to park the car. Close to a good restaurant. The apartment was clean. 15-minute walk to the center of the town. After booking they send us very good instructions for everything.

    Although it offers the full panoramic view, I would not recommend it for people without a car, as there are around stairs to climb from the city center. Also, the buses don’t really function in Sicily.

    This is a normal Italian B&B, really good quality. The view is wonderful.

    Its quite a difficult first drive to arrive and park but once you figure it out it gets easier.

    Great location, close to a very good restaurant, good views over Taormina just few steps up the road (at the restaurant), where there are also steps to descend to Taormina center. Responsive host on the day of arrival. Make sure to read the self check in instructions before you get there exhausted in the afternoon heat :D

    The shower needs to be repaired, leaks everywhere. I would recommend this property only if you have a car. If you don't have it, it can be challenging to reach the centre.

    The view was amazing and the room was cosy. The owner was helpful by sending us all the instruction on how to get to the room..

    We booked this hotel specifically because breakfast was included. However, upon arrival we found out that there was no breakfast. Neither the advance notice nor the booking.com website said that there was no breakfast and the price was the same, even though we did not get breakfast, which is included in the price.

    The location was perfect! The view from the window was stunning!

    Steps, it took me thirteen minutes to go up those stairs and I'm a runner. In the event you have luggage it would be difficult and you probably have to take a taxi from the bottom.

    The room was good value and had nice views from the top. For sure it was quiet and the host was attentive, especially when the remote for the Air Con was not working, she was going to run over, however I popped the batteries out and placed it back in, voila situation averted.They do clean the room which was nice and unexpected.

    The room was VERY small, to the extent that our twin beds were almost touching. I realize that bidets are very popular in Europe, but they leave little room for toiletries, except balanced precariously on the sink. It would have been nice to have some recommendations as to restaurants, things to do, etc., since there's only one rather expensive restaurant and a bar nearby, with nowhere to have breakfast except in town. Parking also is rather limited, especially when the restaurant is open.

    The view, especially of Etna, was great, especially from the lovely patio. The area is quite quiet and there's a nice walkway nearby leading into town, if you're fit, which takes about 20 min. Our host was nice enough to carry our bags up the 3 flights of stairs.

    A bit cold as we were not provided duvet , only bed covers to cover ourselves with. No hitting in the room either.

    Amazing location with beautiful views. Very nice owner with good contact. Very detailed instructions on how to reach the hotel and how to find the keys. No problem with parking next to the building.

    Elegant room with AMAZING panorama. Strongly recommended, but only by car.
    • Leisure trip

    - it is only recommended if you are with a car, because the apartment might be 900 m from the centre but it is also 400 m ABOVE it. So if you are by walk (like we were) don't be surprised (like we were)  that you have to climb the whole mountain above Taormina to get here. - the inner soundproofing is almost zero. It is clearly audible if someone speaks in the corridor or in the rooms around you. - a microwave oven / water heater would have been expected for this price

    - the man who was waiting for us was very kind and patient, tho we lated almost an hour - they waited us with a bottle of cold water - the panorama of the room was stunning. It is hard to describe how beautiful it was. - the interior was cozy and elegant with nice Sicilian tiles - there was a refrigerator in the apartment and it was so silent that we easily could sleep beside it (rare thing in Sicilia)

    I'd say: 400m to the center -> vertically 900m to the beach -> horizontally

    The view is great, localization also but you need to know how to travel with local transport up and down the hill OR love the fit/sporty lifestyle. If the lifestyle -> remember to use backpack not the suitcase unless you are hardcore ;)

    There is no breakfast included. It would be nice to have a kettle with tea/coffee in the room.

    We could park the car on the road. The B&B is located on the top of the hill so has an amazing views of Etna. Taromina is walking distance (steps) . It takes 15 min to go down and a bit longer to come back but the view is amazing. There is a lovely church at the end of the road, restaurant & coffee bar.

    The place is called "B&B" but there was no breakfast served due to covid - it was the only place during our trip without the breakfast, so felt like an excuse ;) The owner could have been a little nicer to the guests.

    We loved the location on the top of the mountain with a breathtaking view from the apartment. There's a great restaurant just a few steps away. Be mindful that going to the city center of Taormina means taking more than 500 steps down and up, for some people might be a challenge but we definitely loved the walk :) The apartment itself was clean and unique, had a nice balcony, perfect to enjoy the evening view with a glass of wine.

    Nothing really, however, would have been nice to have a couple of wine glasses in the room as we had to drink wine from plastic disposable cups but thoroughly enjoyed the views while doing so. Very minor detail. Just a suggestion for future guests.

    The location was exceptional and the views amazing. We were 2 couples travelling together and had 2 rooms opening up to a courtyard which had beautiful 360 degree views. One room even had its own balcony. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone. Shame it was only for 1 night. It was hard leaving.

    Parking not available from 5pm to midnight on first day due to religious procession (owner said it had been rearranged at short notice but posters showed date we were there?) When I asked for advice on best alternative for parking I was simply told not to park in the road of the b&b. The nearest legal parking was 2.5km away either up or down a very steep incline. I ended up parking at station and getting back to hotel via a bus and a taxi. Next day most of available parking was taped off due to works being carried out in road. Just highlights that if there is any problem with the limited parking then any guests with a car are buggered. Aircon didn't work when we first arrived. Owner just turned their phone off and ignored my requests for help. Wouldn't normally bother with minor glitches but given the other problems we had I think it is relevant. shower hose had a bad split so there was large sideways jet and had to remember to move the toilet roll to prevent it being ruined as the toilet is in the shower area. 3 of the lights didn't work ( I assume it was due to a broken lamp/lightbulb).
