She even waited for us for breakfast after I overslept. The view from the balconies is unmatched in all of Taormina. I highly recommend a stay at Maison Blanche.

Best Stay in Italy. Must Stay for Taormina. Giovanna is a most wonderful and attentive host. She runs a tight ship and it shows. Maison Blanche is a must-stay for anyone wanting to enjoy Taormina from a quiet base, with stunning views of Mt. Etna and the Mediterranean. The property faces east, so if you get up early enough, you’ll see one of the most beautiful sunrises of your life. Breakfast is AMAZING. Fresh eggs made to order, an abundant spread of pastries, fresh fruit, breakfast breads, and plenty of made-to-order caffè. It’s the kind of breakfast that fuels a full day of sightseeing, and the kind of quality that makes you want to linger one more morning. There’s a bus stop right outside the gate for easy transportation into town and down to the beach. Giovanna can also coordinate taxis, private transfers, or scooter rentals if you’d rather have something arranged. The beach is 4 minutes by car and town is 5 minutes. Looking for things to do or places to eat? Giovanna has recommendations for everything, and they’re the kind of recommendations only a local who genuinely cares can give. This place is also motorcycle-friendly, very secure, and felt safe throughout my stay. As a solo rider, that mattered. If you’re staying in Taormina, stay here.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I do restaurant reviews all the time. Never ever did a hotel/B&B because it mostly standard. But this place is like out of a dream. If feels you’re in a mansion. The views are spectacular. You wake up and look out the window and you think you’re staring at a painting. But what really makes this place special is Giovanna!! She is the best!! She is very attentive to your needs and is always available morning and night. Plus the breakfast is awesome the cook and make everything how you like it. Also I can’t forget the great staff with the rooms and the cook.

Enormous deck overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Room is clean, modern, with enormous windows to capture sky and sea. Hosts Giovanna and Francesco are welcoming, willing to allow dog-loving guests to socialize with their amiable Boxer, Bart. Owners on premises, and available. Only five units in this lovely home pitched cliffside. Walk to town is close, but involves stone steps up the hillside.Parking on premises makes coming and going easy, so best to drive to Taormina in my 74-year-old opinion. Elegant white marble throughout. Would stay again.

Amazing hospitality. Gióvanna the mistress of Maison Blanche herself, greeted Jennifer and I with warm welcomes and delicious Rosé in hand. Started days before our arrival she consistently communicated with us, checked with the ETA and insured our safe arrival at her hotel. Recommended and booked authentic Italian restaurant for dinner reservation on our behalf, gave tips on travelling and made us photo-worthy breakfast the next morning. When we couldn't find taxi, she sent her husband to pick us up from town, and drove us back. (Did I mention they found my lost cellphone for me?)

It’s a lovely place, really beautiful house. Breakfast is ok, not as good as a hotel you would pay the same price for. Furthermore breakfast is not relaxing, we felt rushed and hurried both mornings, all we wanted was peace and quiet, exactly why we booked this kind of place and not a hotel. Upon 2nd day checkout were charged 16 euros for water bottles that were left out without any notification of possible charge in the room. It’s normal to have a water bottle provided every day in a more expensive accommodation, I would never expect to be charged on top!! Very small and insignificant, but it changes the atmosphere/ picture completely. Then you remember that upon arrival the landlady tried to sell you another room for 120 more or later selling some handbags at breakfast, it feels a bit cheap and gaming. Other things: ABBA being constantly played, I am glad we didn’t stay more than 2 nights, it already started to feel crazy Speakers in room randomly turned on with hosts music playing, I had contact and to ask how to deal with it and wait!! No apology! It’s a beautiful house, but the service/treatment is not good enough. We felt only ok But then you We had way better service for half and a third of the price the week we spent in Sicily.

Nosso quarto ficava fora do corpo principal da casa, era pequeno e com mobílias que não condiziam com o resto da propriedade, parece um quarto improvisado na ultima hora, tenho certeza que os outros quartos estão acima deste. o cafe da manha é bom e num ambiente muito agradável.
