A cute, little spot part way up the hill to the town. Danielle was a delight! Offered suggestions for sightseeing and arranged our beach club with pick up and drop off for a great price. It was super clean with a private balcony which also accessed the larger terrace where breakfast was served. Delicious breakfast and plentiful. You need to take a city bus up to the town of Taormina or to sights but it stops not far from Bella Vista down a steep hill. It is on a very steep hill so keep that in mind if you are walking.

For some people not being walkable to the center of town might be a drawback but it was lovely and quiet so not a problem for us.

The B&B is at the bottom of the hill near a small beach, but a little way from the main town. You can walk up a fairly steep path that goes from behind the property. We are fairly fit and it took us 15 minutes, but due to the hot weather we arrived into town somewhat hot and sweaty!!! Good footwear essential and torches (phone torches worked fine) required for the way back at night. There is a bus that goes from the bottom of the road fairly regularly and is only 3 euros for 2 people. Finding the right bus back from the bus station was a bit of a challenge,but easy when you've done it once!! There is a quiet little beach within easy reach- go down the road and take the first little side street on the left. Cross over the road and there's a tunnel marked "beach" that takes you under the railway. Turn right and pick your way across some rocks to a nice little pebble beach. Breakfast on the balcony was nice with pastries, fruit and yogurt. We had small balcony which was a nice place to sit with great views of the bay. Good communication from host before arrival with clear instructions on how to access keys and get in.

The room was a bit small but comfortable. We had a private but separate bathroom across the hall. The bathroom was a good size with a great shower, but no fan so it was like walking into sauna as the weather was so hot.

BellaVista is an intimate Airbnb which is centrally located to many areas in Taormina, Sicily, Italy. BellaVista is a 10 minute walk to the rail station, 5 minute walk to the bus that goes directly to Taomina or you can walk to Taomina but it’s a steep climb. BellaVista has 3 beautifully appointed double rooms,each with excellent privacy. The host, Lucia, lives on the property and is very knowledgeable of the area. Lucia also makes beautiful croissants/pastries etc for breakfast. Breakfast is served on the patio, with very fresh produce and superb coffee made by Daniela. Daniela also attends to all the housekeeping and ensures everything is spotless.

We had no complaints at all ! We would love to return one day to this beautiful property !

It has a beautiful view and our stay was very relaxing. Our host Daniella was wonderful! She even made breakfast for us outside of the usual breakfast time as we had to leave extra early. She attended to our every need.

It is a steep walk up from the train station but only for the last few minutes. Catch a taxi from the station if possible as it was hard to wheel our luggage up such an incline. There was only one place to eat that was close by but it was on the waters edge and tranquil so we didn't mind.

Exquisite accommodation with an unbeatable view on the slopes of Taormina. I really appreciated the 13:00 check-in time, the free parking, the delicious breakfast, and the short walk down to a beach with the clearest and most beautiful water I've seen in Sicily. Thank you so much, Daniela, for the warm welcome and hospitality! Love, l'altra Daniela ("La Siciliana")

Maybe remove the fake flowers from the room? They were the only thing that didn't feel authentic, and I felt they detracted from the otherwise stylish interior

very clean and well maintained property. property manager was very helpful and cordial

There’s an uphill trail to Taormina, adjacent to the property. It is very convenient, but it’s a challenging walk, especially in the heat, with loose gravel half of the way.

location, overlooking the bay. terrace for breakfast. the owner was delightful and hospitable despite our scant grasp of Italian! tasty Sicilian breakfast set us up for the day! room was comfortable with quiet a/c

hot water for showering was erratic!

It was amazing location, views, clean and cozy villa and room. It was better than we expected and better than in pictures. We were three and in the room was everything for three persons. Water, towels, breakfast. Lucia explained all details very well. She was very supportive. Highly recommend to all of them who wants travel in Taormina and looking for magic place over there. Though there was railway station near, it wasn’t for us disturbing. ❤️

We like everything 👌❤️

This is the perfect position for a quiet stay in Taormina. After a busy time in Taormina proper this lovely white B&B is clean, quiet with a very nice view looking south. The breakfasts are delicious with lots of variety. This accommodation is perfect for a visit to the beach each morning before breakfast. Head down the road, turn left at first little side street, carefully cross the road (not at all busy), under the tunnel and the water is before you. Turn right and walk along the track to your own private beach! Rocky and pebbly sand… wear flip flops and don’t forget your goggles! Fish are pretty! This accommodation is perfect for the bus. 100 meters past the beach opening is the bus stop for Taormina proper. The bus is a sightseeing and white-knuckle experience. The bus drivers need a pay rise! This accommodation is perfect for walking to and from Taormina. It takes a 62 and 65 year old 10 minutes to walk up at a good pace. The track winds and zigzags. If you’re going from bottom to top, the track start just outside the B&B and starts rough. As you go up, the rough, dusty track turns into ‘steps’ and then a road, then … pop… you are up in Taormina, right next to the public gardens with fab views! Don’t forget a torch if you are using this track at night. There is very few lights lighting the track. Lastly… it’s perfect for the train! Approx 700 metres.

You’ll need your google translate for any serious communication with the staff/owner.

The view from Bellavista is amazing. We really like it - from the room, and from the breakfast area. The room was good - clean and convenient bathroom, bed, closet. The location is OK. The issue with Taormina is that places near the beach are far from the city (that is high), and places near the city are not close to beach. So we took bus to everywhere (since taking out the car is not very convenient in terms of parking). The bus station is 7 minutes walking from Bellavista so it was good. Another possibility for next time is to be near the lift, and then you can enjoy from both worlds (but this is a different place though, and we liked Bellavista). p.s. there is a trail from Bellavista to the city, around 20-25 minutes walking by foot. It is very steep. In hot days, I am not recommending it :).
