Villa Magnolia B&B0

The hostess and her family were exceptional hosts. Our room was always clean with fresh bedding, able to be kept cool with A/C as well. We had our own personal mini fridge, and the best part - our own private terrace where we had a gorgeous view of Etna and the mountains! We came for my partner's 30th, and the hostess was kind enough to bake him some sweet treats as a special surprise. She and her family go above and beyond for their guests, and thanks to their efforts this vacation has become a wonderful memory for us. Thank you!

Very comfortable room, and yummy breakfast in the mornings. I was able to do laundry which was very nice. I loved the cats at the house as well :) Our host was also very generous to pick us up from the bus stop and then take us to the train station when we were leaving. Very kind!

The photos show a swimming pool that I had hoped to get to use, but when I arrived it was empty, so that was a disappointment. Being that it was a 30 min bus ride to and from Taromina/Giardini/Naxos meant that we had to rely on a bus, so if you stay here it might be worth while to rent your own car, however the bus is very inexpensive and we made it work :)

Mimma let me feel really at home and taste Sicily in every aspect. Her guidance for Taormina and surroundings was incredibly helpful and made my stay unforgettable. Till the day of my departure I had perfect online communication so that I felt safe and had no doubt that I will get help if I need it. House was clean, breakfast was perfect! As I got up very early in the morning Mimma served the breakfast and I could start my day as planned. I was flattered, because she picked me up from the railway station at the day of arrival. I definitely recommend the house and would choose it for my second travel because Sicily should be visited twice. It is a nice combination of staying in a quiet place + visiting the busy Taormina and spending time at the beach of Giardini di Naxos.

A very comfortable room with a fabulous view of Etna from the balcony. The breakfast was full of fruit from the garden, a selection of homemade cakes and jams all very nicely presented. Mimma also provided us with very helpful information about where to park in Taormina as well as recommending the local restaurant which was the best evening meal we had in two weeks of travelling throughout Sicily.

The best, most welcoming, helpful, kind and friendly B&B we have had the pleasure of staying at for many years. The family go out of their way to look after you. Beautiful room/home, exceptional breakfast, including home made marmalade. You can walk to town to a very good Steak House, very reasonable prices. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Nothing.

The room has a big balcony and the view from the balcony is fantastic, Etna in all its glory. Breakfast was very rich, with homemade cookies, fresh coffee, and fresh fruits. I can't thank you enough Sig.ra Mimma for making my trip so easy and comfortable. She came to collect me and also drove me to the train station. I will definitely stay there again and recommend it to everyone who wants to visit that beautiful part of Sicily. Beautiful people, beautiful places and sea, and amazing food.

Mimma et her husband are lovely host. They make an effort to make you feel comfortable in their house. You are merged into their daily life but at the same time they are very discreet.

All was very good. Maybe one small detail: Our room was with external bathroom (as chosen in booking) with only bathtub (less practical for quick showers)

I didn't like at the beginning because it was located in Trappitello at about 4.5 km from the beach which is a lot and the buses are circulating, hourly only to Giardini Naxos beach or Taormina. But I must say, on the second day I changed my mind and I realized I did myself a favor. Why? That wonderful walk on Via Fondacco D'accorso Trappitello(3.5 till the beach), only nature and cactuses and palm trees. The scene of Etna and the actual mountain scenery and that scent of the magnolia in the garden, when you go out on your balcony, while enjoying a nice glass of vine is just magnificent. You find peace there. Yes, there are portions on the street where traffic is constant and no pavement for people on foot but don't let that stop you, I just made a detour on the next street just to avoid that portion with no pavement. All in all, great breakfast, nice people. though it's useful to go to Sicily with some amount of Italian language skills. But the host knows English well. The buses are comfortable and clean, If you want a little bit of adventure and also combine mountain, scenery of the volcano from your balcony and also summertime at the beach then this is the place.

Exceptionally clean and tidy, spacious, amazing view of Etna and countryside from large balcony, large comfy bed and bedroom, large bathroom with bath and shower. Nothing was too much trouble for our wonderful host, breakfast was homemade special pie and loads of other choices, homemade jam and specially purchased almond milk. Very helpful, spoke good English and gave us tons of information. Lovely cats, orange blossom aromas and birdsong too!

We were on our honey moon and we took quite some time to choose this place. We wanted a nice apartment with a view to Etna and not to close to the crowded streets of Taormina. Mimma and her husband were very hospitable, very kind and made us feel like at home. The breakfast was so delightfully set, everything was thought of - croissants and pastry, toast, eggs, a platter with cheese, prosciutto, olives, dried tomatoes. The highlight was the room and the view - Etna and the mountains can be seen, together with the pool, you can see pictures but it is even better in reality! The room was spacious and clean, there was a big bathroom with a bath tub...

There was no hot water at the time - this didn't bother us much as we were coming from a hot day on the beach.
