Casa Cuseni, Patrimonio Culturale Immateriale UNESCO

Fantastic property and amazing house and grounds

Staff and owners delightful and couldn’t have been kinder. The museum tour was fascinating and brought alive by Maria’s passion for the house. Relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by beauty.

If you have an interest in history and art then this is the place for you in Taormina. And if that wasn't enough then there are some spectacular views over the town with Mount Etna as a backdrop, all surrounded by fantastic gardens and a soon to be commissioned swimming pool. Casa Cuseni will not provide you with a typical hotel experience for which Taormina has plenty to offer if that is what you are looking for. But what is does provide is character and loads of it, from the artefacts and works of art in every room (including the bedrooms which are very well proportioned), to the breakfast which is simple but wholesome, to of course the staff who are fantastic whether it be providing you a guided tour of the museum to recommending local restaurants. Things of note, Casa Cuseni is built into the mountains side and therefore on multiple levels. There is lift to assist and there are plans to install a lift from the parking area up to the house, which will save lugging cases up and down the hill. Additionally the town is below the hotel, so easy to walk down to dinner, not so easy walking back up, although there are taxis available in the town itself. Parking was easy and where necessary your car will be moved to a secure offsite parking. It's also work remembering that every penny goes towards maintaining the museum and its grounds for future generations. You don't get that at your average Hilton!

Having to leave.

Staff were superb! Genuinely friendly, helpful, good people. Not being nice simply to attract clients. Excellent views. Lovely art. Beautiful antique furniture. Wonderful old feel of the hotel. STRONGLY recommend it!!!

Everything was just perfect!

Incredible view, stunning property/grounds, spacious & clean rooms with beautiful interiors, delicious breakfast and most of all, the staff were just wonderful! Huge thank you to Maria, Alessandra and Magdalena for making us feel so welcome and looking after us. We hope to return soon!

I loved this beautiful residence and the staff were very helpful and accomodating

The access to the property required a number of stairs and current building works in regard to the pool inpacted on the grounds although once completed will no doubt enhance the overall stay of guests
