Villa Mariella

Rossella and Claudio were very welcoming and accommodating. They made our trip such a lovely experience. The view from the pool area was beautiful and the Villa was very spacious.

Spacious, everything we needed, good location

The steps were a little more than would have liked but not enough to put us off from returning. Hosts carried our bags to and from the Villa which really helped.

We had a great stay at Villa Mariella. Lovely hosts. Great location. Walk into town and down to the beach. Cable car back up. The views from the Villa are beautiful & it has everything you need.

The location near the main town of Taormina and location to the lovely beaches was ideal. The outdoor area with swimming pool was our favorite part of the villa. The hosts were very, very friendly.

The beds and linens were a little sub par. Our bath towels were very cheap. The pillows were not at all comfortable. Also, it should be noted that there were 130 steps from where you park your car down to the Villa. Keep this in mind if you are not in shape as you will walk up and down them many times during your stay.

Very helpful hosts. Lovely villa with exceptional views. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Great to have a swimming pool

Nothing!

A lovely apartment with stunning views across to La Isola Bella. Close to the top of the cable car and bus terminal. There are a number of steps to access, but this is Taormina so that is not unusual. The hosts were amazing, kind and courteous. Everything we needed was there. We had a delightful stay and loved being able to cool down in the pool after a day's exploring. Wonderful.

Nothing, but do be aware of the steps for access. If you are infirm or have young children in pushchairs this might not be for you.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Villa Mariella. We arrived tired and hungry and Rossella and her son warmly greeted us at the property and helped us with our bags: we immediately felt at home. The villa is exactly as described, spotlessly clean, comfortable, spacious and with those lovely added touches such as welcome drinks and staples meaning you don't have to dash out instantly to the supermarket to buy dishwasher tablets etc. The location is ideal - between the town and the beach and also an excellent base to tour the east of the island. The pool, wifi and air con were a huge hit with my teens as was the fact, due to its location, they could wander into town unsupervised for a gelato or two! The views are stunning and sitting on the veranda with my morning coffee overlooking Isola Bella beach was one of my favourite things to do. Yes there are steps; my husband and I are mid 50s and managed them fine. Plus it meant I could eat more gelato and pizza guilt free!

Nothing

Villa Mariella is a slice of Sicilian paradise. Very comfortable and so well appointed. Beautiful gardens, the pool, the views. Wow! The hosts were extremely helpful in helping with carrying luggage, explained everything about the villa and were contactable through our stay. Location is 400M walk to main street and 200M to the cable car. Please note that you do need to walk 100M up steps to get to street level from the villa. We absolutely loved our stay and enjoyed many meals on the verandah. My kids described it as being at home. The hosts also left some food and drinks for us too. Thanks Rossella and family.

Steps to get to street level from villa in the heat, but that's Sicily.
