While the views from our room were spectacular, the ceiling height was lacking. Beams everywhere criss-crossed the room presenting great challenges in navigating the room (particularly at night). As arragont as it sounds, most people spoke a little English, but these hosts didn’t know more than 2 words and seemed annoyed by everything. We tried to avoid interacting with them. Our room was also 3 stories up narrow marble stairs. This would not be a good situation for elderly or physically-challenged. Also, you can only lock your door with a key and can’t exit the room without that key.

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.

タオルミーナに近いカステルモーラの町を訪れ、この宿に滞在しましたが、眺めが抜群に良いです。滞在するだけであれば、メリットは多いにあります。それ以外のサービスは、普通でした。

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.

Overall very good but the rooms on the top floor have very low ceiling. The view is excellent, although would go with the panoramic one next time.

Wonderful

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.

Salve il proprietario al mio arrivo è stato molto accogliente tanto che mi voleva fare il Pacco dandomi un'altra stanza totalmente diversa da quella che avevo prenotato sono andato a reclamare per ottenere quello che era giusto .Ci sono rimasto male per l'azione che voleva compiere. Quindi per quanto riguarda Expedia tutto ok per il resto sono rimasto un po deluso. GRAZIE BUONA GIORNATA .

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...

Bella Vista!

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.

Rekommenderas inte

Bokade ett rum med havsutsikt panorama men fick ett ekonomi mot.staden litet och trångt
När vi påpekade det förstod dom plötsligt inte engelska Vi fick betala för det dyrare rummet
Jag kan inte rekommendera detta boende då de lurade oss
Dessutom 3vån upp med smal trappa ingen nödutgång

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.
