Villa Britannia

Villa Brittania is one of the most memorable guesthouses we have ever stayed in! We had a huge room with 2 balconies and the lounge area was amazing - a huge honesty bar, jazz music and wonderful artwork on the walls. Breakfast was served on the pretty terrace by Louisa, the lovely and welcoming owner. A bonus was the free parking a few steps away from the villa.

The breakfast is awesome! Lovely rooms, esp the living room. Very friendly and helpful host.

Everything. Louisa is a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome and comfortable from the second we arrived. Her food recommendations were spot on and the property itself is incredible. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Charming B & B with an enchanting host in historical Taormina.

Warm personal welcome, service, and advice throughout. Louisa took individual breakfast requests each evening and the food was top-notch, fresh, and varied. Our room was huge with 2 balconies (one with a sea view and the 2nd with a garden view. The Villa was large with a softly lit, comfortable bar/lounge for guests. Each evening a varied repertoire of soft jazz was played. Breakfast was served on the shady terrace. Louisa made reservations for dinners, outings, and a beach club upon our request. While there we went to the local opera (close by), visited the ancient amphitheater, and spent time on the beach. We toured Mt. Etna and also drove into Castlemoto for walking and lunch. We truly felt at-home in the villa.

Nothing to improve upon. I wish we had stayed longer.

This is an amazing villa! a real retreat. what can i say, it exceeded my expectations! Louisa, the owner, is an amazing woman and runs this place impeccably. The home, the garden, the terraces, the furniture, bed, paintings on the wall - everything is carefully designed and thought of. The house has a large inviting living room, a big kitchen with a Nespresso coffee machine, generous breakfast on the terrace with the breeze from the sea, a huge room with 2 terraces - one overlooking the sea and the other - the garden. You have total privacy, the whole house for yourself (there was another couple in this 2 bedroom house, whom i have only met on the last day at breakfast). if you are looking for more than just a place to sleep - rather, experience some true Sicilian/British living - this is the place!

The villa is 8-10 minutes walk to/from Taormina center, up and down hill. This gives you the quite evenings away from the crowds, but is still a consideration especially if you are carrying heavy luggage - perhaps take a taxi if coming from the main bus station.

Amazing hospitality and friendly staff. Exceptional food and views.

We loved everything

Villa Britannia is now my official benchmark for vacation places to stay. The location, the villa, and all the small details are exceptional and exactly how you'd imagine living in Sicily. Louisa is just the best hostess you could imagine. She's very friendly, helpful, and happy to share all her tips about Taormina. She helped me book a taxi from the airport, local restaurants, the beach club, and more. The villa itself is worth exploring in the smallest details, have a slow and delicious breakfast on the terrace and, of course, enjoy the views!

I wish I could live there
