Villa Britannia

Loiusa is an amazing host. Would definitely recommend anyone visiting Taormina for a great cultural experience. Our room was exceptional. The villa is filled with art and artifacts. breakfast was too good.

Everything

Nothing

Louisa is the perfect host, leaving us really comfortable and made us feel at home. We had a flight problem in Napoli to get to Sicily and Louisa gave us all the support we needed to the point of expecting us outside her house around 9 pm to be sure that we had made it. The house of villa britannia is something that came out of a movie and the bed was as comfortable as it could be. Our only regret is that we didn't book the other room with friends so we could have the whole house for ourselves. Louise knows everything in the city and was always available to give us the best advice. The only problem you might have staying with Louisa is to decide whether to go to the city or stay in the house. You might need 30 hours in the day to enjoy both the city and villa britannia. We will be back for sure, there's no other way to go to taormina.

We really liked the villa and the location, and the owner went above and beyond to make you comfortable. Everything was super easy to find. The owner left us a bottle of wine for not being there upon arrival - which of course was not necessary, but definitely made our day. We also received clean towels very frequently, and a new bottle of water every day which is rare these days. The house has a unique atmosphere and a wonderful terrace. Having breakfast in the sun on that terrace was certainly the best way to wake up. The center of Taormina is quite busy, but as the villa is located a short walk away you find yourself in a quiet neighbourhood. Since parking is quite difficult in the town, it is really convenient to have the garage to park in. Overall, the villa is a little bubble in a beautiful town with a lovely owner putting a lot of effort.

When someone uses a tap when you’re in the shower, your shower will go either warm or cold. But it helps you wake up better :) We regretted not being able to do the cooking course which we thought we could arrange upon arrival, but it was entirely booked out by private parties. As such, I would recommend to book in advance if you’re interested in this. At last, we weren’t able to use the garage due to a double booking during the last day/night. The street is for residents only and cars will be towed, so this made us a bit anxious but it all worked out in the end.

A beautiful villa, with Louisa, our hostess, who welcomed us with such warmth, hospitality, kindness, and grace. She goes above and beyond to make you feel that the villa is your home. Breakfasts are amazing, with Sicilian cheeses, hams, breads, croissants, fresh fruit and tomatoes, yogurt, and eggs cooked to order. And you set your breakfast time! Louisa made dinner reservations for us, set up tours, and helped with a myriad of details. Our room was kept immaculately clean (thank you, Patrizia). The grounds and gardens are beautiful too. If you come to Taormina, you must stay at Villa Brittania. We were sad to say goodbye, but have dreams of returning to this Sicilian paradise.

There's nothing not to like.

Everything. Warm welcome, spacious comfortable room, private terrace overlooking the bay, lovely fresh breakfast, very peaceful atmoshere, use of the kitchen & lounge. Our stay was delightful. Thank you Louisa.

Nothing

location, design and management

We had the whole house for ourselves. The house is stunning and so is the view which we had every morning for breakfast or from the balcony of our room. The breakfast had all we wished for, great variety and the best coffee. Rooms are super spacious and clean. A bar with cold wine is always available for a sundowner drink on the terrace. Louisa is a super friendly and helpful host. We got all advise for a perfect stay, endless recommendations, and help with shipping some goodies back home. Cannot recommend this little gem in Taormina highly enough.
