I stayed with my sister and our boyfriends for a couple nights at Villa Floresta at the beginning of October. We arrived in Taormina with no reservation and walked around to find a decent place for a good price. Villa Floresta was the perfect find. It has character, is located right in the heart of the town and has all... More

I stayed at Villa Floresta with my husband for the first 3 days of our Sicilian honeymoon. We are both Italian and we totally expected the courtesy and the cleanness Sicilian are famous for, so that didn't disappoint at all. I guess the challenge in Taormina is to find accommodation for a reasonable price, as most of the hotels and... More

Dear Elena, I am very sorry to have read your comment. When you have booked a room for your honeymoon, I reserved a beautiful room with two balconies, sea views and piazza duomo, private bathroom, for which you paid 60 euro with breakfast included (you stayed on 28, 29 and 30 May 2012). A really low price, don't you think?... More

We stayed in this B&B one night this year. The location is great - near the city center, easy access to the city. However the quality of service was average. The rooms were clean but average (weak equipment and poor bed), it was a big noise from outside. Our room did not have a bathroom, we needed to use the... More

Dear Katarina, I'm very sorry for your rewiew. I remember about your staying at Villa Floresta. I asked you at your arrival: what do you like to eat for breakfast, bread or croissant? You answered to me "bread" with butter and marmelade. And the morning after, at breakfast time: what do you like to drink, american coffee, espresso, orange juice,... More

This charming B&B is located near the Dome in the historic center of Taormina. It is in the very heart of the historic center without having any burden of noise during the night and it is relatively close to one of the car parkings outside the city center. The rooms are absolutely marvelous in a captivating romantic way. The breakfast... More

Recently I visited Villa Floresta for the second time, I also stayed there in 2010. It was just as I remembered, this time I had a different room, this one did not have a view but was still fine. This is a simple, clean and comfortable b&b in a fantastic location. It is great value for money. To find fault... More

We had a room with a beautiful view on the sea and the streets of Taormina. The view on the roof terrace, where breakfast was served, included a view on mount Etna, the Greek theater and most of the town. Breakfast was being served by the charming landlady herself. The hotel is strategically positioned among good restaurants, close to the... More

We were booked for one night over Easter and had an email confirmation but on arrival there was no-one at the property and we couldn't raise anyone on either one of the phone numbers or by email.

Dear Guest, we are sorry to inform you that maybe there was a mistake. At first, we don't accept reservation of 1 night only, but minimun for 2 nights. Second: when a guest books at Villa Floresta, he knows that we require his arrival time. Third: in Easter Week all rooms of Villa Floresta were full (no vacant rooms). For... More

We found Villa Floresta to be in a great location looking over the Duomo and Piazza below. Literally one minute from cafes and sites, just off the main strip. There was a little bit of noise from the restaurant below but nothing major. The family who run Villa Floresta are not always there but they are very friendly and helpful... More

Condition of this place is reflected in the price despite the good internet photo's, good location but building needs a very good renovation done. Hard to get a hold of owners as they were never on site. Would not stay here again but for those not fussed about smelly bathrooms and run down rooms it is in an ideal location.

Dear reviser, you have written about smelly bathrooms and run down rooms. But in which room with bathroom do you was stayed? We don't understand your disappoint because all the guests of Villa Floresta know that the rooms are restructured and equipped with new bathrooms and furnishings. And also, all rooms and bathrooms are also kept clean every day. We... More
