Guest Reviews

• Mark (10/5): The view of the ocean/sea and city below and Mount Etna was phenomenal - The view from this Home was phenomenal. Parking was a little scary and tight, and no always available. It was a walk up to the house with stairs, which was not the easiest. The location to the Taormina was very good but we had to drive to the parking garage which was a short drive and then walk to the Taormina center Parking and stairs
• Klaudia (10/5): Cudowne miejsce - Spektakularny widok z tarasu. 3 oddzielne sypialnie z bardzo wygodnymi łóżkami. Do dyspozycji gości kawa i herbata. Pomimo tego, że w ofercie nie mieliśmy śniadań dostaliśmy słodkie przekąski. Mieliśmy darmowy parking tuż przy apartamencie, co w Taorminie jest rzadkością. Świetny kontakt z właścicielką. Bardzo żałujemy, że byliśmy tak krótko. Na pewno będziemy polecać to miejsce znajomym.

• Frederic (9/5): Sehr schön gelegene Wohnung und sehr nette Gastgeber - Sehr freundlich und unkompliziert trotz unserer Verspätung beim Check-in Teilweise eher kleine Betten
• Ripoll (8/5): -
• Lisa (10/5): -
• mijeong (9/5): - 숙소에서 보는 조망이 너무 아름다웠습니다. 주요 관광지와 연결되는 엘리베이터까지는 조금 걷긴하지만 멀지않습니다. 하루라 모든것을 즐기지 못한 것이 아쉽습니다.
• Alvydas (10/5): -
• Michaela (10/5): Would strongly recommend to stay there - The location. Very calm and yet close to Taormina. Catarina the host is a pearl!
• Ranne (10/5): -
• Martine (9/5): Très bien mais difficile d’accès - Tout bien !
• Anne (10/5): I’m glad that we were able to stay at this lovely home. - Beautiful home, immaculate and well equipped and furnished. The owner and her husband are very gracious and accommodating and did their best to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. the restaurant up the street from the home was very good and reasonably priced. There is a VERY steep hill to access the property, for the elderly or physically limited person, that could be aa problem
• Réka (10/5): - Kind and helpful host, beautiful setting, terraces, garden. We enjoyed every moment here:) With a short walk it was easy to reach the old town of Taormina. I would return any time
• Ewelina (10/5): -
• Aline (10/5): Adoramos Taormina e queremos voltar e conhecer tudo com mais tranquilidade! A casa é ótima, estávamos com carro então no - Gostamos de tudo, fomos recebidos pela Caterina! Casa aconchegante e com localização ótima O chuveiro somente que precisa arrumar para não ficar saindo!
• LAURA (9/5): Perfecto para visitar taormina - Las vistas y la amabilidad de la dueña. También, destacar la ubicación ya que está al lado del ascensor del parking para acceder a Taormina (que en coche no se puede) Todo perfecto. Solo a mejorar que los baños tienen un poco de humedad y check out es muy pronto

• Di Martino (10/5): -
• Geraldine (10/5): -
• Ilias (10/5): Wonderful villa with great views - Wonderful vacation house, fully equipped and very kind hostess. The view was amazing. If you are looking for a place in Taormina, this could be it! That we didn't stay longer!
• PawełS98 (9/5): -
• guillaume (10/5): - Vue extraordinaire et chambres confortables !
• Carmela (9/5): absolutely beautiful - The view was beautiful Walking distance to markets and restaurants. A little hike up a hill to get there but that was part of the fun!! Caterina was a wonderful host, with quick response and very very helpful with any questions we had. Would definitely return.
• Xin xin (5/5): - 地理位置不错就在老城山脚下，但是房子在山上腿脚不方便的不要订 卫生方面，好多蚊子
• Grace (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing view and great hostess Wifi slow
• Paula (10/5): Exceptional -
• George (10/5): Excellent ! On va revenir 🥰🥰🥰 - Excellent !!!
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
• Megan (10/5): Brilliant - This property is in the perfect location. Walking distance to Taormina but far enough away for peace and quiet. Kate, the host, graciously volunteered to pick us up at the train station as we were having car trouble. She showed us the good sites and was just overall very helpful and gracious. Well stocked home with comfortable beds and breath taking views. Don’t miss out on this spot!
• Georgi (10/5): Like your dreams - Very clean Perfect location Amazing view
• Denise (10/5): Stunning views and peaceful nights if you can do the walk - The villa was overlooking Giardini Naxos and the views were stunning. It was clean and comfortable and Kate and Tino were responsive when we had questions. The location is wonderful. You can pick your own lemons. Highly recommend as long as you can do the climb. The door lock. We had a problem with the key that neither Kate nor Tino did. They came quickly when we had problems but at one point one of us was locked out and the other two in. The walk was challenging for us. We didn’t rent a car and we had to stop and breathe a couple times each way. We were glad we had flashlights when we returned at night because we were wearing mostly black and the road was dark. That being said if you can walk it, it’s worth it!
• Nori (9/5): Superb -
• Geretto (9/5): Superb -
• Tsvetelina (10/5): Exceptional - The view was the best part of the experience. Nothing
• Krystal (10/5): Amazing location. Clean. Lovely host - Amazing location. Clean. Lovely host
• Anna (10/5): Perfect stay for 2 couples and 1 child - The views were fantastic, beautiful property. House was very clean and well stocked. We slept two couples and one toddler perfectly. Able to access Taormina conveniently, compared to our last stay where we were confined to the hours of the cable car. It was perfect for us- will book again. Nothing negative for us! I only mention the things below, in case it may influence another persons needs. Accessibility could be a problem for some. As others have mentioned the road leading to the house is very steep. We drove two cars- a small one that scraped every time we drove up/down the slope and a larger that cleared it fine. The hill was difficult for some of our party to walk, so we drove the larger car to the parking deck and it worked perfectly. May be an issue if you only have a smaller car and/or plan to walk. Living room is quite small, one small love seat. But VERY worth the views for us. We brought kitchen chairs over near the couch and had a lovely evening together.
• Angela (10/5): A priceless view with amazing hosts. - Kate and Tino are amazing hosts. The view and location are priceless. All consideration were made to ensure a comfortable and stress free stay. There is free parking on site and it is only a 6 to 10 minute walk to the lift up to the main street in Taarmina. The driveway, like all Sicily older town roads, is extremely narrow. However Kate and Tino met us at the pizzeria to escort us down and ensure an easy parking experience.
• Broome (10/5): We loved Villa Kate! Owner/managers were very responsive, view spectacular. - Good coffee & espresso maker provided. An electric kettle would have been useful for tea drinkers instead of using a pot to heat water. No other breakfast provided. Overall Villa Kate was outstanding because of its fabulous view over the ocean/Naxos. It was roomy in that there were 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with dining area inside and outside. Views were expansive inside and outside. Facility was clean and beds comfy. Hosts were lovely and responsive. Rooms were small - hard to move around the bed! It was challenging to find the property and although it had parking, it might be taken by others (ie no designated specific spot that could be counted on) in which case had to use public paid parking up a steep hill to access. Location adjacent to Taormina - not in town itself but that was not really a problem as close by and more peaceful feeling.
• Mary (8/5): Great View, nice host, good apartment layout. - Location. View. General layout. Parking.
• Nelly (10/5): Exceptional - What can I say, this vila is a dream come true.. The view is breathtaking, the place is clean and comfortable. Catherina was very kind and accommodating! Come visit Vila Kate in Taormina!
• Gary (10/5): Great hosts, lots of space, beautiful scenery - Location was great to get to main part of Taoromina. Very good restaurant near the unit
• Robert (10/5): Wonderful - Great Villa Welcoming host Katerina Great position Spacious and very comfortable 3 bedrooms with 2 separate bathrooms Equipped kitchen Air conditioning in all rooms
• Lior (10/5): Exceptional - The view is amazing, Kate was very helpful The checkout was too tight for us.
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional -
• Georgina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yule (10/5): A very comfortable night - The host is very welcoming, the house has a great view, a cozy and comfortable balcony, the room is large, clean and comfortable, close to the city center
• Kenneth (9/5): Superb -
• Michelle (8/5): Stunning views of the bay of Taormina - The view is absolutely stunning over the bay of Taormina. The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms clean. The gardens and vegetation growing were stunning. Minutes walk from the stunning Taormina with magnificent views and charming streets with wonderful restaurants, shops and bars. The hill!! The property is down a very steep hill which we struggled to get our hire car over the top of (Mercedes C Class with a low base apparently!) so choose a suitable vehicle! It is a killer hill to walk up to access Taormina but by the 4th day it was not quite as challenging. The walk into town, up the hill and up another hill to the multi storey car park takes approximately 10 minutes. I would not recommend walking it for those with mobility issues but the car park is a 2 mins drive away and the lift takes you straight up to the top of the Main Street in Taormina.
• Irina (9/5): Superb - View is incredible and breathtaking and very close to the lift going into the city. Our host was amazingly friendly and helpful. Acces could be a little difficult, but it depends on the driving skills in narrow spaces.
• Tom (9/5): Most enjoyable. - Host Catherine was excellent. She was on time for check in and gave us some great local advice. Property has incredible views and is very well located only a short walk to Toarmina city central.
• Judith (9/5): Superb - The location is fabulous and the owner was really helpful.
• Nayera (8/5): Very good -
• Bo (10/5): Exceptional - The interior space is very spacious, and there is free parking in front of the house. The location is quiet but within very convenient walking distance to Taormina. The host is very welcoming and helpful. The biggest highlight is the unparalleled view. Highly recommended for those driving to Taormina!
• Lauren (10/5): Amazing, would stay again in a heartbeat - Amazing location, comfortable and the hosts were so helpful! The stairs to the property can be tricky for some
• Carole (10/5): Amazing view! - Spectacular location with the most amazing view! The hostess was so personable, helpful and communicative. It’s a tricky drive down a narrow alley to the apartment yet the hostess met us at the top of the hill to guide us. This was so appreciated!
• Nadarajah (9/5): Superb - Superb view from the accommodation Very private Bit expensive
• Phil (8/5): Very good -
• Marilena (10/5): Exceptional - Super view, very nice host and location -
• Marius (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, you can drink your coffee with the sea in front, Etna on the right. Caterina was an excellent host, provided useful information. You have to walk 300 m, uphill , to Porta Catania Parking, then take the elevator to level 7, and you are directly in Taormina. The bed in the small bedroom is a little uncomfortable.
• Agnes (10/5): Exceptional - The view is breathtaking. The villa is not very big, but it’s so well configured. It has everything that you will need and some. The owners are amazing people. They would check with us daily and ask if we need anything and also offered some pointers and recommendations. It felt so homey and we also loved the lemon and mandarin trees. It felt like home away from home. If you have a hard time walking up the hill, this might be a bit of a challenge for you, if you want to walk into town from the villa. It was a great workout for us. We sometimes did it 3 or 4 times a day.
• Denitsa (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible place: view, cleanliness, convenience, coziness, hosts! Highly recommend!
• Mihaela (10/5): Amazing! The location, the view, the owner! - Very beautiful and very clean. The location.. Spectacular view!
• Christian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Livia (9/5): Superb - Stunning view! Well-equipped kitchen. Free parking. Communication with Caterina was very smooth. Furniture a bit oldfashioned - but the view made us forget this 😊
• Judith (10/5): view, view, view - contact to the host was super quick and easy. The view was outstanding. Taormina just a walking distance away. Perfect car parking spot close to the villa. We had a nice, sunny X-Mas stay. -
• Qingting (9/5): Superb - great view of landscape, clean room, kind and helpful staff
• 忍者神龟321 (10/5): Very nice hosts made our stay in Taormina very pleasant - Caterina is a very nice host and very helpful. She greeted us at the junction when we arrived. The room was clean and tidy and well equipped. A great place to visit Taormina and within easy walking distance of the town centre. To get out, you need to climb a steep slope of about 100 meters.
• Susan (10/5): Lovely hosts made our stay memorable - Caterina and Tino were incredibly kind and helpful with excellent communication prior to our stay and all throughout. We didn’t have a car and we’re all travelling with large suitcases. It wouldn’t have been easy to get to the property if Tino hadn’t made two trips to/back to the station to transport us. He even drove us to and from an evening at the wonderful Taormina Opera. The house was spotless and has wonderful vistas. It is a bit removed from the action and there’s about a 150m steep slope to get up to road. To then get to Corso Umberto you walk up another road to get lift up. Well suited to two couples with two bathrooms. Steep slope in hot weather
• Marcella (9/5): Beautiful apartment in Taormina - The view is amazing and the apartment is very big and well equipped. The mattress in the main bedroom was uncomfortable and we had to change rooms, also the TV sound is not working properly.
• Marina (10/5): Great facilities and the best view from the terrace - Caterina met us and showed us through the apartment. Very well equipped, amazing views!
• Dale (10/5): A perfect place to visit Taorima. A wick and easy walk to the town center. Fabulous!! - We loved Villa Kate. It is a beautiful apartment overlooking the Bay of Naxos and views of Mount Etna. The owners met us, allowed us to come in early, stored our luggage and did everything to accommodate us. We can’t recommend enough. All was perfect!!
• Lund (9/5): Superb - Very charming small house in quiet surroundings, but not far from city center. Kate was extremely serviceminded and helpful. Restaurant Tre Vie on top of the steep hill was excellent.
• Rachel (8/5): Very good - The apartment is comfortable and well equipped. Caterina was wonderful (very responsive, very helpful - truly above and beyond). Air conditioning was appreciated. The view is gorgeous and so relaxing. The hills are the norm for Taormina. However, for us, parking was tricky due to the steep slope (being from North America). The hill to access the apartment from parking is quite steep and difficult with a young child or lots of luggage - but Caterina and her partner graciously helped us with this. We planned to walk to Taormina - it's a short walk through the parking garage but unfortunately too steep for us with a young child and adult with a disability. If you don't mind the uphill walk or don't mind driving to the parking garage like us, I would highly recommend this place.
• Victoria (6/5): Beautiful location but disappointing in general. - The views were spectacular. Free parking. Coffee supplied. Beds very hard and uncomfortable. Not really walkable to city. Air conditioner remote not working in one room. Neighbors burning trash frequently, could not sit outside.
• Nicola (10/5): Exceptional - Position, views, parking. Hosts were incredibly helpful Long climb up to the main road but the position made it worthwhile
• Olga (10/5): Stunning view and a nice property - Amazing view and a spacious house with all the necessary amenities. We liked everything. If you expect a beach time, it is a bit far on foot and you have to take a bus to get there. Also, keep in mind that it is on the hill and expect a lot of walking up the hill.
• Damian (9/5): Pleasant and enjoyable stay - Amazing views - enjoyed watching the boats in the sea below . Friendly reception. Functional Steep walk to town
• Roger (9/5): Lovely villa with spectacular views - Location of villa with fantastic sea views and Mount Etna. Catherine was a great host and really helped out with lido booking reservations and responded very quickly. Good to have dishwasher and washing machine. Parking was ok but could have been a problem as it is a public space and not reserved for the Villa. Could have had the situation after a day out, not having a space available .
• Louisa (10/5): Great location, views and a very helpful host. - The location and the helpful communication with Kate made it very easy to find. The view is stunning. This is not a deterent but parking is not overly easy and bags need to be carried up a small slope but the view makes it worth it.
• Rebecca (9/5): great view - beautiful view of the ocean and Etna, air conditioners, washing machine
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - What we enjoyed the most at our stay was the breathtaking view. The villa is well situated and close to the Taormina center. The host was very kind and provided us information about the place and the city. The villa is well equipped and clean and the provided coffee was excellent (if the owner Caterina sees this, we would appreciate if she could tell us the coffee name:) We had an amazing stay and we definitely recommend it. -
• Jessica (10/5): Caterina and Tino looked after us like family - Villa Kate is a special place to relax and enjoy Taormina - Caterina and Tino were fantastic - so kind and easy to communicate with. It’s a steep but short walk into town and we loved the convenience of being close, yet away from business of Taormina. The views were breathtaking. Fabulous restaurant at the top of the driveway. We would definitely stay at Villa Kate again, but we would come with a car or scooter to make things a bit easier for us.
• Shirly (8/5): Very good - Amazing view, close to the center, the host was great and responsive. Very Uncomfortable beds( old soft mattress) . The walk from the villa to the main road is difficult since the trail is very steep ,not recommended for the elderly .
• Sarah (10/5): blissful peaceful and stunning - perfect views - wonderful facilities - great hosts - very peaceful - good for walkers ( uphill to get anywhere) but you get used to it
• Maria (9/5): Superb -
• Constance (9/5): A beautiful place - The views from Villa Kate are spectacular as it is a hillside house overlooking the sea. The house is clean and the kitchen facilities are very good. The host Caterina is kind and helpful. Getting to and from the house could be a challenge for those with difficulty walking a steep road.
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Antoaneta (10/5): Exceptional -
• Piroska (10/5): Exceptional -
• Piret (10/5): Exceptional - fantastic view, sun on the terrace all day, very clean, everything was great! very friendly owner, we definitely recommend!
