Casa Turrisi

Taormina is a mountain village, so when you arrive, you have to leave your car at Lumbi Parking and take a shuttle to the centre of town. Casa Turrisi is a short walk from the shuttle stop. The rooms were clean and well appointed. The B&B location could not be better! Breakfast was not included because we were off-season. The only caution I would give is that if you have mobility issues, the complex has stairs to the entry and if your room is on the second or third floor, obviously more stairs to climb.

Ticked every box and more for our very brief visit to Taormina. Right in the centre of town it gave us access to all the amazing sights and sounds. Mixed in with the bars and restaurants it gave us a premium stay in the heart of the hustle and bustle. Walking distance to all the main attractions it really was perfect for our stay. The rooms were faultless. Lovely decor throughout and breakfast terrace was an added bonus. Will be back.

Excellent location right in the middle of Taormina with a clean room and balconies that overlooked restaurants and shops. Everything is up to date and well maintained. The king bed was comfortable and the staff, especially Luciana, were friendly, professional and looking to be of service. Santi, the manager/owner? responded immediately via What's Ap. The breakfast was typical "Sicilian Continental" - cookies, cannoli and a strawberry cheese cake Crostata Chantily - in addition to good Sicilian bread, yogurt, cereal and eggs to order. It is served on their covered rooftop with 360 degree views. Just suggestions: I wish the rooftop was open in the evening so we could sit up there with a glass of our own Sicilian wine. USB ports for charging would have been nice when our converter died.

Central but then Taormina is a small town on a hill... everything is within walking distance, 5 mins from the Theatre, main shopping area, 10 mins walk to the bus terminal (arriving from the airport). Room was big, nicely decorated and very clean. It is sound proof but if you want some fresh air and not use the AC (I went in May) then it is extremely noisy - people passing by, restaurants music, motorbikes, neighbours. I had room no. 1 which probably is the worst because it is right by the entrance, everyone passes by, door bell ringing... You can hear all the noises from the room above, b&b next door, the neighbour's dog... Probably the upper rooms are much better. I also had an incident with the shower door, the wheel fell right when I arrived, it had a broken metal piece which I informed the staff immediately... On the morning of my departure I was told I need to pay it as the cleaning lady said it was working fine before. A thick metal screw! That kinda ruined the mood... Breakfast room is on the top with an amazing view. The breakfast ladies were very nice. Unfortunately not a lot of savoury options for breakfast, but a lot of nice cakes. I would probably choose a bigger hotel next time in a quieter location (as everything is within walking distance) and with sea view...

We had a beautiful room here and the location is so central to town. The caretaker went out of his way to be open for us after a long trip and recommended a really great restaurant. Taormina is popular and quite busy- not dominated by old tourists! Breakfast was really good and the server was very nice!
