Awaken to the cooing of doves!

The Villa Floresta is wonderfully located right near the Piazza Duomo. It is very reasonably priced considering its location in the center of a major tourist destination. I would not call it a Bed and Breakfast because breakfast is not included in the basic price. We chose to go into the village for our Italian breakfast which consists of pastry with espresso or cappaccino. Our room was clean and comfortable with a view of the village below and the sea beyond. The only drawback to this room was that our private bathroom was down the hall. It would be nice for the hosts to provide robes for this room since occupants don't have an ensuite.

Disappointing!

We froze the first night because we couldn’t figure out the heater. Ernesto, the very sweet grandfather came in and tried to help, but no luck. So we froze the second night. For the third night my husband went down to the office and asked if they could help him figure out the heater. They told him it wasn’t broken. He told them he knew that, he just couldn’t figure out how to turn it on and needed help. The son’s (who was very nice) wife told my husband that we were more than welcome to leave and they had no problem with it if we did. The room is paid for, it was 8 o’clock at night, and dark and chilly. Really? Where would we go? The husband did come up and show my husband how to turn on the heat. Our third night at the hotel we had one bath towel and one hand towel between the two of us. The hotel advertised a washing machine which we were planning on using, but it was broken. The hotel advertised itself as a B and B, but there was no breakfast unless you ordered it 24 hours in advance and paid for it??? The town is absolutely gorgeous, but we were not happy at our hotel.

This is the first time I am staying at a B&B where breakfast is additional. That was unexpected. The location is ideal in the heart of the historic district with views of the Duomo, the hotel offers a lovely rooftop terrace where they serve breakfast and my room was spacious and comfortable with a small refrigerator. Lots of steps to get there so not for everybody.

Clean & Great location

The location was good - an easy 20 minute walk from the bus station and on a beautiful square. The views were lovely! The owner was very friendly and eager to show us many things we could do in Taormina. He’s lived there his whole life. The room was very clean.

Good location- but don't count on getting an sleep

Villa Floresta is in a great location, just meters from the main strip in Taormina. The room is very basic and the building is old but it was fine as we didn't plan on staying in the room too much. At night however, we got little sleep- not from noise outside but from a old air conditioning unit that sounded like someone was hitting it over and over again with a hammer. We tried turning this off and opening the balcony but then mosquitos would get in. To top this off you also had the loud hum of the fridge and noises from what I presume the water system. Only on our final night when the weather was cooler and the building was not hot, did we get a decent sleep. We needed up turning off the air con and unplugging the fridge. I am fine with budget accommodation but sleep is something I cannot do without.

Beautiful B&B

A wonderful B&B, I cannot fault it. It is a family run B&B by lovely people, they make you feel so welcomed. We had the breakfast every morning which was on a roof terrace with exquisite views over the town square, the sea and mount etna. Maria even made some Jam out of a local fruit, I think it's called a prickly pear. As we are students we had to budget our stay, going for a cheaper B&B. We really weren't expecting it to be as perfect as it was for how much we paid. Our room had more than you could need, a TV, AC, and a balcony view over the sea and the curch. It was really a lovely holiday and we couldn't have asked for more.
