The location was superb, just a stone's throw away from the bustling Corso Umberto, yet tucked away in a peaceful, tranquil setting. The house has been completely renovated and is exceptionally comfortable. We enjoyed our breakfast on a charming patio, draped in lush vines, right in front of the house. The morning breakfast featured an array of delights, including croissants, fresh bread, butter, assorted jams, yogurt, an assortment of cheeses, and an option for a delectable cappuccino or latte. Despite the separate breakfast fee, it was undeniably great value. Most notably, our hosts, Dawn and Massimo, were not only friendly but also incredibly helpful. They generously provided guidance on places to explore and offered advice on transportation and more. In all honesty, we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Great location from bus station, town centre, ancient theatre & gondola so easy to walk everywhere. Dawn was a fabulous host & provided a great breakfast on the terrace each morning with plenty of choice. Dawn also provided a list of bars & restaurants which were all fabulous. The room was very clean, good sized bathroom. Dawn also provided some suggestions for daily sightseeing activities. Perfect host & we’re sorry we didn’t have time to do a cooking class!

Nothing!

Casa Cifali has a wonderful aura of warmth and calm - created by Dawn and Massimo.They were also so welcoming ,kind and helpful throughout our stay. The room was beautiful ,fresh and spacious. Everywhere was clean and comfortable. The location is superb and Dawn's reommendations for where to eat and drink were great. After a day / night out this was just such a lovely ,special place to come home to.

We arrived by train from Palermo at Taormina-Giardini train station and then just couldn't figure how to get to Taormina city by bus. Every bus didn't seem to stop there, no-one was around to ask for help, so last resort it was a taxi. But, that was great as it took us around the twist-turny roads, the one-way and to the street where Casa Cifali was. From the outside, Casa Cifali looks great. Very pretty, well-maintained, and a superb location. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. Dawn had contacted us previously on WhatsApp with helpful directions, etc. Our bedroom was light and had an adjoining large bathroom with a lovely shower. All very well maintained and clean I must say. Breakfast was continental and with some of Dawn's homemade conserves - very nice! Best of all, we ate outside in the small courtyard / garden area adorned with bushes, flowers. For us, the location was perfect to go exploring Taormina and farther afield. We walked everywhere even though it's a wee bit hilly (an understatement) which some people may find tough-going. All I can say, is get fitter before you visit Taormina! It's a lovely city, has some superb restaurants - we tried a couple recommended by the hosts including a non-tourist, "locals" one. That was superb. Overall, we would definitely recommend Casa Cifali as it suited our budget, was situated in a very accessible place and easy to walk everywhere, had superb hosts, and was a gorgeous place to stay! Oh, and we walked / hiked back down to the train station at the end of our 3 days stay. Gotta be pretty fit!!!

We loved everything and there was nothing we didn't like. For us, the hosts have it very right!!

Great Location. Dawn was very helpful in giving us the directions we needed to find he property once we arrived in Taormina, she even gave us a little list of restaurants & bars etc. that they recommended nearby which was a great help. The breakfast each morning was lovely Dawn & Massimo were both there to help with any questions or even just for the chat which made our stay so much more relaxed. We hope to return to Taormina in the future as it is such a beautiful place and would definitely be booking Casa Cifali on our return visit. Thank you Dawn & Massimo.

WAUW!! We had an AMAZING stay here. The room was perfect and very clean, the bathroom was huge. We had breakfast outside which was an added bonus. The location is great and Dawn is a perfect host. She had an answer for all of our questions and give us tips on where to go, where to eat and what to see, and this was more than welcome. What a great place, wonderful service and in a perfect location. We highly recommend this to everyone.

This is the first time in my life that I couldn’t even wait to leave a place to write a review as I’m typing this from the train station. I’ve traveled to lots of places around the world and stayed at lots of B&B. Casa Cifali is simply the best I’ve ever stayed at. I couldn’t have asked a more perfect home-away-from-home while I was visiting Taormina and the experience was truly wonderful. First of all, you can’t beat the location of Casa Cifali. It is a quiet oasis in the middle of all the action happening in town and all major attractions are within minutes’ of walking distance; second, the place itself is just so beautiful: immaculately renovated and tastefully decorated with a terrace where I enjoyed my delicious breakfast every morning under the grape vines; last but not the least, the hosts Dawn and Massimo are such genuinely kind, caring and generous people who went the extra mile to assure that my stay was memorable and magical. I already miss them!

Nothing at all

Fantastic place to stay in central Taormina, in a quiet street close to all the best restaurants and sights in town. The B&B was really clean, quiet and super comfortable, and the hosts Massimo and Dawn were incredibly sweet and helpful, catering for all our needs, helping us organise day trips out and airport transfers, and even treating us to some unexpected prosecco and sweets for a local holiday. We loved everything about this stay!

Nothing.

Wonderful little B&B with lovely Sicilian/American hosts. Comfortable, pretty rooms, and lovely terrace for sitting out for breakfast. Good selection at breakfast (not buffet, so you don't over-stuff yourself!). Good location in the main (hill) area of Taormina, easy walk to the bus-stop (where the shuttle from the car-park drops you off), the main street, and a stone's throw from the botanical garden and close to the amphitheatre.

No view, but lots of lovely ones nearby!

The terrace outside gave it a real cosy feeling where you enter the b&b. The location just 1 street away from everything. Great homemade jam. Good map of the city. Great tips that the owners give you for eat/drinks. Shiatsu massage possible. Owner is certified.

There was not really something to not like. I’m sure we can all find something if we look for it. But why do that. Such a waste of everyones time.
