We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back. The location is excellent—within walking distance of countless restaurants, cafés, and shops, so there are endless dining options to choose from. It's also close to several scenic spots, making it easy to explore the area on foot.

The room was spotless and well maintained. The bed was comfortable, with soft pillows and fresh, clean sheets that made for a great night's sleep. Overall, it was a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable stay. Shout out to Dawn and Massimo, both are excellent host. They prepared breakfast for us and the cappuccino is amazing.

Highly recommended!

First time in Taormina, and our choice of hotel made it even more special. Location was perfect. Close to main centre but in a quiet area. Room was lovely. Spacious with a comfortable bed. We had access to the kitchen.Enjoyed sitting in the outside area, where a delicious breakfast was served to us. We were given so much information on the area, especially about the film festival, which we had no idea was happening. The free vouchers were appreciated! Thank you Dawn and Massimo for making our week complete. Would definitely recommend and hopefully will return again…possibly for next year’s film festival?

This very boutique property is perfectly situated for walking everywhere in Taromina. The owners are very nice. So helpful, they even gave us a list of useful tips and dining. The rooms are not large and don’t expect a view, but for the price an excellent option. Breakfast was somewhat limited but the fruit was deliciously ripe and the croissants were freshly baked. I will be back.

We were given the most excellent breakfasts each morning by the hosts. The bed and room were very comfortable. Most importantly the location is excellent. Very close to the old town, but far enough away to be quiet at night. The B&B has been the best on our 3 week trip in Italy. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Everything is perfect, especially the staff, who are informative and friendly; immediately made us feel at home upon arrival. When we requested an one-night extension but they had fully booked, they kindly introduce to, and made arrangement for us, to stay with another B&B in their neighborhoods. We can’t wait to revisit Taormina and this homelike place.

One thing to be aware of, it’s not allowed to eat in the room. If you’re travelling for business or plan to have calm evening nights in the room, this might not be the best option.

Lovely recent stay at Casa Cifali. So close to the centre of Taormina, yet on a quiet street. Very comfortable, clean room. Nice breakfast (first time trying pistachio cheese, will have to try and find it in the UK!) Communication prior and during my stay was excellent. Thank you to Dawn and Massimo for their help and hospitality. Supported in booking a taxi for me as I had a very early morning train and provided me with breakfast for my journey. Good recommendations given throughout my stay. Much appreciated and wishing you continued success with a Casa Cifali!

Credit goes to my wife for finding this gem of a B&B. It's difficult to find everything you want at a good price, but Dawn and Massimo exceeded every expectation, creating a truly personal experience. I've stayed in many B&Bs, but none with this level of genuine care. They are laid-back, down-to-earth, and make you feel at home while maintaining professionalism and offering a wealth of knowledge about Taormina.

We received check-in details before our trip, and any questions were met with quick, helpful, and friendly responses, including advice on transfers.

Our room was beautifully decorated, spacious, spotlessly clean, and maintained daily, with fresh linen every three days. Breakfast was plentiful, with fresh croissants, eggs, rolls, fruit, local cheeses, yoghurt, and coffee.

The B&B has a few rooms and a communal kitchen where Dawn and Massimo prepare breakfast. Guests can also use facilities like a chilled, filtered water machine—a big plus on hot days. Upon arrival, we received detailed information about where to eat, what to see, and transport links, reflecting Dawn and Massimo's travel experience. Their passion for hosting and understanding guests' needs truly sets this place apart.

The Sicilian dinner on the terrace sounded wonderful. We didn’t budget for it this time, but we’ll definitely return to experience it. Thank you, Dawn and Massimo, for bringing heart to our trip to Taormina. We can’t wait to stay with you again.

Cozy stay in the city center of Taormina

Dawn and Massimo were very friendly and helped us to organize the transport on the date of our arrival and departure.

The location is excelent, as it is close to the inner city and the theatre.

The room was good for two persons, the shower could have been a bit more spacecious. Casa Cifali also provides the opportunity to buy local wine, which is great if you don't want to leave the room in the late evening anymore.

We did not take advantage of the breakfast very often, as we wanted to try out many different local shops. Moreover, casa cifali only offered instant coffee, which is sadly not sufficient for coffee lovers.

Overall, our stay there was very pleasent & especially when taking the price into account we can recommend this place to anyone traveling on a low budget.

If we ever go to Taormina again, Casa Cifali is where we would want to stay at.

We have just completed 4 nights at this wonderful B&B and truly cannot fault it. Location is excellent, the rooms are spacious and immaculately clean (I can be very picky with this but felt so comfortable the whole stay) but overal what made it for us were the fantastic hosts, Massimo & Dawn are warm, extremely accomadating but most importantly a very nice couple. We absolutely would not hesitate to return and cannot recommend enough.

If you stay you must try the personal dining experience available. They create you a beautiful, tradtional Sicilan meal (all prepared using fresh ingredients from the market) and serve it on a candle lit terrace. A lovely thing to do on your holiday and something we certainly will not forget

The B&B is in a perfect location for exploring the centre of Taormina, as well as for longer walks to Castelmola. The place itself is very charming, as the breakfast is served on the terrace in the shade of grape vines. You will also have plenty of privacy due to the location in a side street away from the noise of the main street.
The hosts were amazing, taking into account dietary restrictions for the breakfast, as well as giving us plenty of tips on where to eat, what to visit and how to get to the beach the easiest way.
We were incredibly satisfied with the additional services as well, as our host prepared a 4 course meal for dinner, using locally sourced ingredients. We will never forget the tastes of Sicily thanks to him.
