Bed and Breakfast Josepha

The location was awesome, clean and very quiet.

Wonderful hostess ...very helpful! Excellent location in the heart of Taormina yet very peaceful & quiet!

By booking two family rooms, we didn't realize, but we had booked the whole B&B! This worked out wonderfully for us as we very much enjoyed having a quiet, private "home" to come back to after an amazing day of exploration. The host was very helpful and friendly and even left us a homemade cake, some cookies, and some bottled water. One of the showers is a rain fall style shower and was probably the most luxurious feeling shower I have ever had - the whole family loved that shower! While it was too hot to use it, there were also lovely outdoor spaces where a meal could be had or just spend some time relaxing. The children loved that they had their own rooms where they could have some privacy, and that meant the grownups also got some, which was wonderful. The location was absolutely perfect, we were amazed how quiet the rooms were, even with all of the hustle-and-bustle of the shops and restaurants just a few steps away. We loved that we were just inside the pedestrian area and tucked down a lovely little alleyway so that we could catch the cable car or meet up with a driver or tour close by without worrying about too much traffic while navigating. For breakfast, we received tickets that we could bring to any of 3 restaurants that were very nearby and get a coffee/juice and pastry, which was perfect for us, and very delicious.

I would have liked to have a microwave available so that we could reheat some leftovers from the amazing restaurants nearby, but I can't think of anything that we didn't like. We were genuinely sorry to have to check out on our last day - this was the perfect home base for us to explore the Taormina/Etna/Messina region.

This place is perfect. It is very well located, but also sufficiently hidden to be separated from the horrendous chaos driven by the sea of turists. They also provide a wonderful breakfast (through nearby bars), and have more at the hotel anyway. I really enjoyed my stay here, and hoped and could have stayed longer.

Nobody cleans the rooms. I usually don't care about this, but they wrote to me specifically saying they would.

Extremely helpful folks - they go above & beyond. Location is perfect, right at the start of the main area. There's a great little & friendly restaurant serving breakfast, lunch & dinner. Really super-convenient, and worked out great for my stay.

Really tough to say, since I'm having to think hard to find something that was not excellent. Maybe they might want to invest in a dryer to complement their washing machine? But dryers are uncommon in Taormina, and they do have a clothes drying rack (and clothes iron as well!)
