If I could rate the owners I would give them 10 stars. They went above and beyond to ensure my stay was excellent and assisted me in navigating the language barrier when I missed my flight. I can't say enough about how great the location, breakfast, property, service, responsiveness and atmosphere was. Thank you for an incredible experience.

This is a charming B and B run by a friendly and helpful couple. It is in a great area which is quiet at night but close to everything. Very walkable to bus station, with many great restaurants nearby. There is a wonderful breakfast of fresh croissants, fruit, yogurt, cheese, juice and coffee. The cappuccino is delicious.

We were given the most excellent breakfasts each morning by the hosts. The bed and room were very comfortable. Most importantly the location is excellent. Very close to the old town, but far enough away to be quiet at night. The B&B has been the best on our 3 week trip in Italy. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

This place will definitely be my go-to place when I return to Taormina. It was perfect (for me) in every sense of the word. Massimo and Dawn were the most pleasant, friendly and accommodating people that you could ask for. Do yourself a favor and stay there when you’re in Taormina.

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back. The location is excellent—within walking distance of countless restaurants, cafés, and shops, so there are endless dining options to choose from. It's also close to several scenic spots, making it easy to explore the area on foot. The room was spotless and well maintained. The bed was comfortable, with soft pillows and fresh, clean sheets that made for a great night's sleep. Overall, it was a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable stay. Shout out to Dawn and Massimo, both are excellent host. They prepared breakfast for us and the cappuccino is amazing. Highly recommended!

First time in Taormina, and our choice of hotel made it even more special. Location was perfect. Close to main centre but in a quiet area. Room was lovely. Spacious with a comfortable bed. We had access to the kitchen.Enjoyed sitting in the outside area, where a delicious breakfast was served to us. We were given so much information on the area, especially about the film festival, which we had no idea was happening. The free vouchers were appreciated! Thank you Dawn and Massimo for making our week complete. Would definitely recommend and hopefully will return again…possibly for next year’s film festival?

The couple running casa cifali is super lovely and accommodating. The room was clean and comfortable. One thing to be aware of, it’s not allowed to eat in the room. If you’re travelling for business or plan to have calm evening nights in the room, this might not be the best option.

Lovely recent stay at Casa Cifali. So close to the centre of Taormina, yet on a quiet street. Very comfortable, clean room. Nice breakfast (first time trying pistachio cheese, will have to try and find it in the UK!) Communication prior and during my stay was excellent. Thank you to Dawn and Massimo for their help and hospitality. Supported in booking a taxi for me as I had a very early morning train and provided me with breakfast for my journey. Good recommendations given throughout my stay. Much appreciated and wishing you continued success with a Casa Cifali!

Cozy stay in the city center of Taormina

Dawn and Massimo were very friendly and helped us to organize the transport on the date of our arrival and departure. The location is excelent, as it is close to the inner city and the theatre. The room was good for two persons, the shower could have been a bit more spacecious. Casa Cifali also provides the opportunity to buy local wine, which is great if you don't want to leave the room in the late evening anymore. We did not take advantage of the breakfast very often, as we wanted to try out many different local shops. Moreover, casa cifali only offered instant coffee, which is sadly not sufficient for coffee lovers. Overall, our stay there was very pleasent & especially when taking the price into account we can recommend this place to anyone traveling on a low budget. If we ever go to Taormina again, Casa Cifali is where we would want to stay at.
