    Not the property as such but to climb to the main city bit there is a very steep hill so that’s something to bear in mind.

    The villa looked stunning almost better than in the pictures. It’s at the bottom of the mountain and about 7 min walk from the train station. The rooms were very spacious and clean. The overall villa was so well preserved and maintained. Staff were very helpful as well. My favourite feature is of course the pool - stunning view of the blue waters and the sea. Highly recommend

    The only thing I can say is just about the noises of the main street but you get use to it.

    Beautiful yard with nice swimming pool and great view. Rosy the host was so nice and kind, she has a big heart!

    The villa is on a busy road so you have to get used to a bit of passing traffic noise.

    The best of all the places I stayed during my month long trip to Italy. Lovely villa, with a pool overlooking the sea and great facilities. Beautiful room. Well situated close to Giardini Naxos and convenient for the bust to Taormina town. Rosse and Gaetano were wonderful and could not have been more helpful.

    As the property is along the road leading into town, we could hear some cars at night. The windows are thick and there is shutters, but you could hear a bit of noise from the street. This didn't really effect our sleep.

    Nice spot opposite a little beach with easy access. Good sized, spacious rooms. We appreciated being closer to the beach and also having a pool, rather than being in the centre of town. There is a path behind the properly to walk up a hill into town (its steep but we did it every day and it was fine! Also a bus). The hotel had a nice outdoor space and chill out area.

    Villa Degli Ulivi for a perfect stay
    • Business trip
    • Family with young children
    • Suite with Terrace and partial Sea View
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The location is tricky as the road is very busy and dangerous to walk along, you need to be careful at all times especially as we had children with us and didn't want to drive all the time. The water sometimes in the shower and kitchen sink would just disappear, I don't know why it was very low pressure at times.

    The villa was perfect, so beautiful and relaxing the Managers were lovely people very accomodating. We couldn't fault the accomodation at all, very clean and well maintained with a lovely refreshing pool.

    The villa is nice and easily accessible. We could find easily a place in front of the house to park our car. The room is big, we had a separate Bedroom and 2 bathrooms. There was a small kitchen well equipped. The terrasse had some tables where you can enjoy eating and watching the sea. The kids enjoyed the pool which has also a nice view on the sea and also on the beautiful olive trees. The city center is not far from the house but you would need to go either by car or by bus as it’s on the top of the hill. You can reach “Isola Bella” by foot but you would need to walk a bit. There is also a rocky beach nearby.

    The traffic on the road was very fast and at times it was difficult to park on the street. It was typical Italy.

    Loved the view, the pool, the terrace and the rooms. Also the location was good , not very touristy. Rosie and Gaetano were super helpful. Enjoyed watching the yachts and cruise sips from the pool and our room.

    Some of the beds where to hard to our taste, as well as the pillows. Old reviews on booking indicated that there was breakfast available, but it is NOT! Note. Just small minimarkets nearby (20 min walk) so plan ahead if you don't go by car. The busstop is 200 m away but you can always call the taxistation at the trainstation. There is a small beach, just before Corallo hotel, a staircase and tunnel under the rail, and you are there...

    Fantastic Villa in a luscious garden with olivetrees and flowers. Spacious rooms with high cealings, personally decorated. We hade the two topfloorapartments with private sunny balconies, one of them had a additional terrace and a garden as well. Choose this one if you what some shadow from a huge olivetree on your terrace . Nice friendly couple who owns it. These are self-sufficient suites with no additional service, but a small kitchen with most of what you need. A bottle of water and some espressocapsules where provided at our arrival. Had the poolarea almost to ourselves - fantastic! And what a view! (Beware of that the house and garden and surroundings have many different levels and is not suitable for people with movingdisabilities, but like my old mother said.. she would go back any day, because of the atmosphere...)

    There is a main road in front of the building and a little complicated to park or turn around the car. The price is honestly a little too high compared to other hotels/apartments in that region.

    The location was really nice! It is close to Isola Bella and Giardini Naxos. The apartment is big and very clean. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The garden and pool were beautiful.

    Unfortunately the property was located at the bottom of the hill to the shopping and dining precinct in Taormina. There was a 25 minute walk up a very steep hill to get to this.

    The unit was spacious, clean with amazing water views.

    Couldn’t fault the facility.

    The hosts were excellent, they assisted in booking us a taxi from the airport and stayed up until 11:00pm to greet us, they were very welcoming, friendly, quick and easy to communicate with and were always available to assist. The location was great for us. It was a flat and easy walk to Taormina Giardini station, Naxos beach/ shops and buses to the old Taormina and beyond. The views from the pool and sitting areas were picturesque. The facilities were extremely clean, well presented and a great space for three adults.

    Unfortunately the bed was rock hard like sleeping on the ground. Pillows were not good either.

    Great location a couple minutes walk from train station and bus stops. Clean and spacious. Rossalin was delightful and helped as much as she could, brought us fresh croissants for brekky one morning. Electric bikes to borrow were a treat it gave us the opportunity to discover a lot more of Taormina than we would have otherwise.
