Summary: You could find a better, more comfortable experience in Castemola for the same price Positive points: The air conditioning works really well You have a good view over Taormina and Etna from the balcony of the double room with view Breakfast was nice with yoghurt and an omelette (unfortunately bad coffee) Small fridge in room is handy but was indeed dirty Parking at a distance is available Drawbacks: No elevator (room is on 3rd floor) Narrow stairs (not suitcase or elderly friendly) Bathroom had the distinct odour of mould Low ceiling in room - 1.7 meter The restaurant at the entrance of the B&B seemed a bit rundown and dirty Communication with the owner was very difficult since he spoke only Italian and did not seem to be interested in the hospitality industry at all.

Located on a mountain top. Nice view. Above a restaurant on a hillside with narrow stairwells, Parking was in a garage down the hillside. Breakfast wasn't served until 9:00. Was assigned a room on the 3rd floor with a sloped roof.

Such a beautiful location! It really lives up to its name, what a beautiful view! Wonderful staff who catered willingly to our needs, making us a special ham omelette after we told them of about our milk intolerance! Lovely clean rooms with air conditioning. I would highly recommended this lovely B&B! Thank you!

The shower had very limited hot water and the Aircon was useless. The staff seemed to view us as an inconvenience. The views were great but you can get the same view from many places. Just don't.

Great price with a few drawbacks.
You cannot beat the price. The view from the breakfast room is amazing. Our panorama sea view room had no view from the window but a nice view from the balcony. I am only 5'7" (170 cm) and I kept hitting my head on the ceiling beams. The bathroom, though clean, was so tiny I could not move around in it, and could only stand in the shower. 60+ steps to the room to carry your luggage. And you cannot lock the room when inside. Very nice hosts.

Lack of transparency
Scarsa trasparenza nel pagamento del parcheggio che era compreso nella prenotazione e che invece è stato richiesto con pagamento extra e peraltro non fatturato. Lack of transparency concerning the payment of parking which although was already paid with the booking, was instead requested as extra by the owner of the place.

Vue exceptionnelle et parking privé.
Trois étages à grimper, mais de là-haut une vue exceptionnelle sur Taormina, la baie de Naxos et l'Etna. Chambre basse de plafond mais cosy et d'une propreté irréprochable. Au RDC, restau tenu par la famille, toujours prête á rendre service. Et un plus appréciable : un parking clos et gratuit.

B&B nella norma, camere nuove e pulite. Unica pecca sono le scale strette per raggiungere le stanze; in particolare la nostra aveva il soffitto piu basso di 1,5 m in alcuni punti. Colazione servita con prodotti fatti in casa da parte della proprietaria.

La vista dalla camera è sublime e merita veramente almeno una notte. Gestori cordiali. Abbiamo mangiato molto bene per cena con una vista panoramica bellissima. Le camere sono al terzo piano senza ascensore, ma la vista è ripagata.

DAVVERO DELUDENTE
scrivo questa recensione dopo quasi un mese e dopo averci pensato attentamente. Prenoto questo b&b per festeggiare i 4 anni di fidanzamento con la mia lei e per uscire un po dalla routine di tutti i giorni e soprattutto dal lavoro che ci ha separato quasi sempre. arrivo al b&b conosco il titolare, che mi sembra una brava persona, e saliamo in camera dove trovo un tetto bassissimo, secondo me al limite della legalità, dove RIPETUTAMENTE picchiamo la testa (nei punti alti) io e la mia lei, e un bagno che può andare bene per una persona affetta da anoressia, perché, credetemi, era quasi impossibile muoversi li dentro, per non parlare dei problemi con il riscaldamento e l'acqua calda che stentavano ad arrivare. la vista era buona e la colazione ottima, insieme alla pulizia della camera, ma tutto il resto, mi spiace per i titolari, no. sono ritornato a casa con la sensazione di aver buttato il mio denaro...

Super Ausblick, geräumiges und sauberes Zimmer. Leider sind die Decken etwas niedrig, so dass man sich den Kopf stoßen kann, aber für diesen Ausblick kann man das in Kauf nehmen.

L’établissement est ancien et la chambre en soupente peu pratique. Situé dans une zone à circulation limitée, nous n’arrivions pas à nous y rendre et le patron a dû venir nous chercher. Il faut grimper plusieurs étages pour accéder à la chambre. Le petit déjeuner n’est pas copieux et le thé était imbuvable. Par contre, un parking privé et gratuit nous avait fait choisir l’établissement. Vu la configuration du village, il est indispensable.

Climatisation bruyante, Draps synthétiques, petit déjeuner correct. Le patron a essayé de nous faire payer 16€ de taxes locales au lieu des 2€ prévus au contrat…. Par contre 2 chambres avec une très belle vue sur la mer, 1 avec belle vue sur l’Etna, par contre la dernière à vue sur les blocs de climatisation.
