We stayed at Plnas house back in November, and what a treat it was! By far one of our most memorable stays and will certainly be back. The BnB was clean, and full of art and interesting antique collections that Plna has collected her whole life. The balcony’s have incredible views of Etna, where you will sit and eat the delicious breakfast. The breakfast was slightly different each morning which was exciting and was in season home grown produce. The area is quiet and less than 10 minutes into the middle of Taormina. Plna had great local recommendations, and is great to talk to. We will certainly be back for more adventures in Taormina. Ben and Amber

It was one of the most beautiful and amazing properties I have ever visited. It has a real atmosphere and depicts the artistic spirit of the owner Pina. Pina was so welcoming and lovely. She was trying her best to make our experience pleasant. She was very helpful with information and guidance about interesting places to visit and generally speaking about the history of the area. Properly was also clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and served, if weather permits, on the beautifully decorated balcony with a view of Etna. The location is very convenient, close to central part of town and In a quiet area. I truly recommend visiting this property.

I can’t think of anything that I didn’t like about the property and our stay.

Mrs Pina, looked after us from the moment we arrived to the moment we left (with hugs and all). Her house is a wonderful treasure trove of her own families history and antiques and objects from around Sicily, its wonderful that she invites people into her own home and for a while you do feel like you are part of the family. The view of Mount Etna is amazing and mesmerising, the bedroom was very comfortable and had good air conditioning and some amazing furniture and the traditional breakfast sets you up for the day. After driving to the villa, we had parking and you might not think you are close to the centre (after driving the one way system about for times before we got the right turn) but just down the secret steps and you are right in the centre of the historic town. Most excellent.

it was great for us.

What a welcoming haven in Taormina. It was so heart warming to have contact with our gracious host Mrs Pina for weeks ahead and to be phoned already at the airport to see how we were doing (took a while to find Avis etc.). The view of Etna volcano and its plume of smoke was magnificent from the flower-tangled balcony where we ate a delicious breakfast and met other travellers (total only 3 rooms). Most guests we met were doing a Sicily round trip by car and spent a couple of nights at Villa Giorgia (we stayed longer). Many guests return - one couple had already booked Christmas. Guests have access to the very arty, elegant and cosy living room - it feels like home - the kind of home you want to have. The walls are adorned with colourful paintings and memorabilia, and there are piles of books. When it rains you eat breakfast at a long table indoors. Our bedroom was small but delightfully furnished and hung with art - with one of those princess-style crowns above the bed that you see in traditional decor. The shower was large and had a hand shower I managed to work so I avoided wet hair. Loo at bidet.

The wifi was not working due to some construction work. The gorgeous view facing Etna comes with a downside - you need to do a hefty walk up the hill back home. Not really a problem for the young and fit - and quite healthy even for the old and decrepit if you do it in the cooler evening. No good going to town by car as there is almost no parking to find in Taormina. A taxi would cost about 15 eur.

I enjoyed my stay at Villa Giorgia; Pina was an excellent host and could help with early check-in as I arrived in Taormina at 11 am. She also kindly offered breakfast at 7.30 am as I had to leave early. The villa is in a quiet, residential area but it is only 15 min or so walk from the centre and all the touristic attractions; Teatro Antico, public garden ( which was created by Lady Florence Trevelyan, a Scottish woman), cable car (funivia in Italian) station, which can take you to Isola Bella in 10 min or so. It is a 10 min taxi ride from the bus terminal in Taormina. Overall, I enjoyed my time there and I am grateful for Pina’s fantastic hospitality.

Nothing.

This place was perfect for our stay in Taormina! The view of Mt. Etna from our private terrace was breathtaking, delicious breakfast each morning on the terrace, cozy rooms, and a beautiful and peaceful property. It is a short walk into the main street of Taormina. What made our stay extra special was our host, Pina. She went above and beyond to make us feel at home. My 2 young girls absolutely loved her and didn't want to leave. She treated them as if they were her grandchildren. They loved helping her in the garden, feeding her turtle, and getting breakfast ready in the mornings. It was truly a very special experience for all of us. I highly recommend this beautiful B&B. You won't regret it!

N/A

The property has loads of character and a really lovely atmosphere. Our generous breakfast was served on a sunny, leafy terrace, with a great view of Etna in the distance. The room and facilities were all great and were thoroughly cleaned each day. The town centre is a five minute walk away, with food shop and restaurants on the way. The owner couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed staying here for five nights and would definitely recommend it

We didn't want to leave after our five nights.

If you want a typical Sicilian house, you should choose this one. The B&B is located at 10 minutes walk from the city center. There are some steps to go up and down, but this is one of the beauties of Italy. We enjoyed very much the surroundings, the view, everything. Pina is very helpful. Her home is her life - the house contains a museum, practically, with pictures of her life, lots of paintings, collections of old stuff. The breakfast is good and the green room we had is wonderful, having a beautiful terrace. The parking place is nearby and costs 15 euro/day.

The only thing I would replace is the bad - every move you make produces lots of sounds.

We reserved two rooms for 4 nights for two adults and two children and we absolutely loved the authenticity of dear Pina's charming home, giving us a real sense of life in Taormina, while also feeling like pampered guests, with a personability that cannot be matched by any hotel. Incredible of Mount Etna, beautiful and eclectic decorations, very homey feeling while also being spotlessly clean and comfortable. Pina and her staff were exceptionally kind, beautiful people who attended to our every need and provided us with a lot of information about the best places to eat, visit and ways to get around! A true gem of a place and particularly loved having my coffee on the balcony. The location is also great, if one doesn't mind walking up a very short but steep hill of steps from the center of town (less than 5 minutes). Quiet, private and safe too!

That we had to leave! I would recommend this place for families or friends traveling together, as it's small enough for privacy and comfort but large enough to accommodate other people, as there are 3-4 rooms so it may make some people feel it's too close for comfort.

The host was delightful, available and engaged. She made Taormina come alive. Her home is an art museum, Breakfast n the the fabulous patio terrace with views of Etna cannot be topped. She wwas utterly accomodating to small requests.

Arriving instructions were stressful and host had to phone navigate us to find the home. The location is difficult to find. It would be better to have had a written instruction with a map. And the phone navigation.
