Casa Cifali

The location was brilliant, close to the town centre action but still quiet enough to relax. Dawn and Massimo made me feel welcome and at home straight away. My room was large, the bed was comfortable, and all the utilities worked perfectly during my 3 night stay. I’ll be back. Thanks, Dawn and Massimo!

Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and looked after daily, with fresh linen every three days. Breakfast was plentiful: fresh croissants, eggs, rolls, fruit, local cheeses, yogurt, and coffee. There are only a few rooms, plus a shared kitchen where Dawn and Massimo prepare breakfast. Guests can use the chilled filtered water machine too, which was a big plus on hot days. Before the trip, we received check-in details, and Dawn and Massimo quickly answered our questions with helpful, friendly replies, including advice about transfers. When we arrived, they gave us detailed suggestions for food, sights, and transport, drawing on their own travel experience. They’re laid-back and down to earth, but professional, and Massimo knows a lot about Taormina. I only got to hear about his knowledge of ancient Roman history there for about an hour before we left, so I’m looking forward to talking more next time. My wife deserves credit for finding this gem of a B&B. It can be hard to find everything you want at a good price, but Dawn and Massimo exceeded our expectations with their genuine care and personal approach. Their passion for hosting and understanding what guests need really sets the place apart. The Sicilian dinner on the terrace sounded wonderful. We didn’t budget for it this time, but we’ll come back and try it. Thanks for bringing heart to our trip to Taormina. We can’t wait to stay again.

We only stayed briefly in July, and I wish we’d booked longer. The place is a real gem, with a very clean room and fresh breakfast. It’s in a perfect spot, quiet but close to everything, so we could come back a few times during the day to change and rest. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. They explained everything and gave us a little map of Taormina with tips for activities and food. We’ll definitely return.

Massimo and Dawn were such kind hosts. Massimo is local and happy to share his best food and vino recommendations, which made for a lovely visit in Taormina. The room was spacious and very clean, including the bathroom. Getting around was easy from this perfect location. It’s a beautiful, quiet street in the evening with no bars or shops right next door. The bus station is easy to reach, the Greek Theatre is a short walk away, and the town centre is no more than 10 minutes away.
