There was nothing that we didn't like. Everything was top notch.

Marco & Louisa went above and beyond to make our stay at their home so wonderful. Our room with the terrace was unbelievable! The views of the sea from the house are spectacular. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend, we'll be back for sure! :)

Everything was perfect

Villa Britannia is so lovely! It felt like staying at a friend's cool, arty house. Comfortable, warm and stylish. The room we had was massive! Really felt like a home away from home. The breakfast was incredible and Marcos was so friendly and helpful. It was the perfect amount of attention and privacy at the villa. The location is perfect, quietly away from the busy part of town, but it's only about a 10min walk around the corner. And then there's the view...the view from the house and from our room was beautiful, I could look out at the ocean and the houses slotted up the mountain all day. Would go back to Villa Britannia in a heart beat!

The house is just beautiful, with a great view. Marco, the owner, was super attentive and friendly. The room was big and clean. 10 minutes walk to city center. It has a garage which is great in Taormina.

Villa Brittania is one of the most memorable guesthouses we have ever stayed in! We had a huge room with 2 balconies and the lounge area was amazing - a huge honesty bar, jazz music and wonderful artwork on the walls. Breakfast was served on the pretty terrace by Louisa, the lovely and welcoming owner. A bonus was the free parking a few steps away from the villa.

The breakfast is awesome! Lovely rooms, esp the living room. Very friendly and helpful host.

Everything. Louisa is a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome and comfortable from the second we arrived. Her food recommendations were spot on and the property itself is incredible. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Charming B & B with an enchanting host in historical Taormina.

Nothing to improve upon. I wish we had stayed longer.

Warm personal welcome, service, and advice throughout. Louisa took individual breakfast requests each evening and the food was top-notch, fresh, and varied. Our room was huge with 2 balconies (one with a sea view and the 2nd with a garden view. The Villa was large with a softly lit, comfortable bar/lounge for guests. Each evening a varied repertoire of soft jazz was played. Breakfast was served on the shady terrace. Louisa made reservations for dinners, outings, and a beach club upon our request. While there we went to the local opera (close by), visited the ancient amphitheater, and spent time on the beach. We toured Mt. Etna and also drove into Castlemoto for walking and lunch. We truly felt at-home in the villa.

The villa is 8-10 minutes walk to/from Taormina center, up and down hill. This gives you the quite evenings away from the crowds, but is still a consideration especially if you are carrying heavy luggage - perhaps take a taxi if coming from the main bus station.

This is an amazing villa! a real retreat. what can i say, it exceeded my expectations! Louisa, the owner, is an amazing woman and runs this place impeccably. The home, the garden, the terraces, the furniture, bed, paintings on the wall - everything is carefully designed and thought of. The house has a large inviting living room, a big kitchen with a Nespresso coffee machine, generous breakfast on the terrace with the breeze from the sea, a huge room with 2 terraces - one overlooking the sea and the other - the garden. You have total privacy, the whole house for yourself (there was another couple in this 2 bedroom house, whom i have only met on the last day at breakfast). if you are looking for more than just a place to sleep - rather, experience some true Sicilian/British living - this is the place!

Louisa is the perfect host, leaving us really comfortable and made us feel at home. We had a flight problem in Napoli to get to Sicily and Louisa gave us all the support we needed to the point of expecting us outside her house around 9 pm to be sure that we had made it. The house of villa britannia is something that came out of a movie and the bed was as comfortable as it could be. Our only regret is that we didn't book the other room with friends so we could have the whole house for ourselves. Louise knows everything in the city and was always available to give us the best advice. The only problem you might have staying with Louisa is to decide whether to go to the city or stay in the house. You might need 30 hours in the day to enjoy both the city and villa britannia. We will be back for sure, there's no other way to go to taormina.

When someone uses a tap when you’re in the shower, your shower will go either warm or cold. But it helps you wake up better :) We regretted not being able to do the cooking course which we thought we could arrange upon arrival, but it was entirely booked out by private parties. As such, I would recommend to book in advance if you’re interested in this. At last, we weren’t able to use the garage due to a double booking during the last day/night. The street is for residents only and cars will be towed, so this made us a bit anxious but it all worked out in the end.

We really liked the villa and the location, and the owner went above and beyond to make you comfortable. Everything was super easy to find. The owner left us a bottle of wine for not being there upon arrival - which of course was not necessary, but definitely made our day. We also received clean towels very frequently, and a new bottle of water every day which is rare these days. The house has a unique atmosphere and a wonderful terrace. Having breakfast in the sun on that terrace was certainly the best way to wake up. The center of Taormina is quite busy, but as the villa is located a short walk away you find yourself in a quiet neighbourhood. Since parking is quite difficult in the town, it is really convenient to have the garage to park in. Overall, the villa is a little bubble in a beautiful town with a lovely owner putting a lot of effort.

There's nothing not to like.

A beautiful villa, with Louisa, our hostess, who welcomed us with such warmth, hospitality, kindness, and grace. She goes above and beyond to make you feel that the villa is your home. Breakfasts are amazing, with Sicilian cheeses, hams, breads, croissants, fresh fruit and tomatoes, yogurt, and eggs cooked to order. And you set your breakfast time! Louisa made dinner reservations for us, set up tours, and helped with a myriad of details. Our room was kept immaculately clean (thank you, Patrizia). The grounds and gardens are beautiful too. If you come to Taormina, you must stay at Villa Brittania. We were sad to say goodbye, but have dreams of returning to this Sicilian paradise.

We had the whole house for ourselves. The house is stunning and so is the view which we had every morning for breakfast or from the balcony of our room. The breakfast had all we wished for, great variety and the best coffee. Rooms are super spacious and clean. A bar with cold wine is always available for a sundowner drink on the terrace. Louisa is a super friendly and helpful host. We got all advise for a perfect stay, endless recommendations, and help with shipping some goodies back home. Cannot recommend this little gem in Taormina highly enough.

We loved our stay here, it was the perfect place to end our 10 day holiday around Sicily - it feels more of an experience than just a place to stay. Louisa is a wonderful host, with super helpful recommendations too, the home is beautiful and unique, location a short stroll into the main town and the breakfast was lovely too. We’d have just liked to have stayed longer!

Louisa is an absolute gem and we loved our stay here so much. It felt very much like visiting a friend, and we were so well taken care of. From the very generous breakfasts, to nightly dinner reservations, to beach club recommendations-everything was perfect. Can't wait to come back!
