Guest Reviews
- Rebecca (10/5): Fabulous art deco home. Great location. Staff amazing❤️ - Beautiful property. A home away from home! Nothing…all perfect.
- Robert (10/5): -
- Jean Louis (10/5): Perfect - We really enjoyed our stay in … The room was beautiful with a very tasty and delicate decoration everywhere in the place. The breakfast was very good with delicious homemade cakes. The location is very quiet and close to the historic Centro. Luca is a great host and makes us feel home. He is very helpful and gives very good advice with the places and restaurants to go to. This experience made our stay unique in Taormina. We deeply recommend it.
- Lipkin (10/5): - Amazing place with exquisite artwork. Lucca was the perfect host. Very elegant and beautifully appointed All was great
- Sandra (10/5): Great location and beautiful - Perfect location and this home is beautiful. Gabriella prepares an incredible breakfast each morning and all the staff in the home are welcoming
- Andrea (9/5): - A beautiful property full of art. Luca and Gabriella made us feel like honoured guests, looking after every aspect of our stay. Location was quiet but only moments away from the historic centre of Taormina. Fabulous breakfast too. Highly recommended.
- Géza Attila (10/5): -
- Finn (9/5): -
- Lars (8/5): -
- Lawrence (4/5): Our stay at this hotel can best be described as UNCOMFORTABLE! - Gabriella was the only staff member that we encountered and she was most pleasant. What you don’t know until you check in, is that this property is Luca’s at family home and his father lives on site and walks around spying on you. It’s not welcoming to use the rest of the property and the rooftop patio is kept locked.
- Kathy (10/5): The hotel is more like a gracious home filled with antiques, art and curios in the heart of Taormina, but ona quiet stre - The property was exceptional. You are staying in a warmly decorated and curated home. The staff were friendly and so accommodating. They helped us with parking, luggage and suggested places to eat.
- Francine (8/5): - The location was close to many restaurants and shops Gabriella was very accommodating Beds were comfortable The roof top was not available due to rain, hot water in showers was intermittent Many glass and decorative items and artwork throughout the home - seemed too personal and formal
- Kelly (10/5): - Place was great. Perfect location! Breakfast was wonderful!
- Joao Orlando (10/5): - Simplesmente perfeito.É como ficar numa casa de família cheia de arte e bom gosto, decoração de extremo bom gosto, limpeza, conforto,localização e atenção dos anfitriões Luca e Enrico, sempre disponíveis. Recomendo 100%
- Daniel (10/5): - Just as advertised. A clean, spacious room in a great location with extremely helpful staff. The team at Casa Aricò & Shatulle Suites made our trip to Taormina a success.
- Vincenzo (8/5): - Accoglienza professionale e precisa. Gentilissima la signora che si occupa della colazione.
- Christiaan (10/5): Amazing - It was a beautiful property, even better than on the pictures! Very well located as well with beautiful (rooftop) views. Luca was amazing too - thank you for all Luca and making our experience simply fantastic!
- Thorsten (10/5): -
- .john (9/5): Comfortable and spacious rooms, close to the centre of Taormina with lovely breakfast - The location was excellent, close to the restaurants and other amenities of Taormina, with fantastic views over the bay. Having someone to take charge of our hire car and park it for us, then bring it back when we were leaving was very much appreciated as driving through the narrow streets of the town isn't the easiest. Breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of pastries, fruit, eggs, yoghurt etc and including gluten free options - all cheerfully served by the very helpful Gabriella! It would have been great to have a small fridge in the room and a kettle to make tea or coffee. Although the property provided a bar service, this didn't operate after 8.30 pm.
- Dan (10/5): Charming, Comfortable Stay with a Helpful Local Host - Luca was extremely helpful and responsive, arranging valet parking which was a huge help given the narrow and steep streets. The suite, located in his family home, was both comfortable and charming — with beautiful touches and a welcoming atmosphere. The location was perfect: quiet, but just a short walk from everything we wanted to see and do in Taormina. Luca also gave great restaurant recommendations that helped us avoid tourist traps and enjoy a more local experience. Nothing significant — the stay was smooth and well-hosted throughout.
- Klas (10/5): Beautiful and friendly hotel whete you feel invited to the family rather then a guest at a hotel - Relaxed and beautiful. Great host and breakfast. One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. -
- Parinaz (9/5): Superb -
- Paulina (10/5): - Amazing accommodations! Luca was such a great host! Even before we arrived in Taormina, he checked in with us and made sure we were all prepared for our arrival. Gave us great recommendations and things to do. Made us feel at home and very comfortable. Arranged parking for us as we were arriving with a car. Location was great as well. Close to everything, but far enough away to give some space from the crowds. Breakfast was delicious as well. Gabriella who ran the breakfast was super nice and lovely. Overall, a wonderful stay and experience, and we would definitely stay with them again!
- Tina (10/5): A perfect stay in a beautiful hotel and the best location. - The property is a beautifully stylish boutique hotel with the most amazing rooftop terrace. Everything about the decor has been carefully thought out and our room had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Even toiletries and beach towels! Luca was the perfect host and the breakfast laid out every morning was superb. Add to that the location, just minutes from the old town, and it couldn’t have been better. I couldn’t fault anything.
- Christina (10/5): - We were so well received, and felt at home. The property is beautiful and has a lovely charm to it. Luca was an incredible host and Gabriella was the sweetest and very hospitable. The property is very well located, just a hop and a skip away from the the Main Street. We will definitely return.
- Simon (10/5): A great choice in Taormina for those seeking more personal service and surroundings. - As previous reviews have said Casa Arico is a perfect stop over point in Taormina for those like ourselves who prefer small, owner run establishments to big impersonal hotels. Whilst Casa Arico is a little tricky to find ( even with Waze) our host was very helpful in guiding us. He has a link up with a private car park and our car was collected and returned by a very helpful driver. Using this facility is strongly recommended as driving and parking in Taormina is a nightmare! Location of the property is perfect. Quietly situated yet only 5 minutes walk to the main street. The very quirky (in places) but stylish decor is a real feature. Our room was large, tastefully furnished and with a nice little balcony. Bathroom worked well. Excellent breakfast served . We loved it!
- Evangelia (9/5): Very enjoyable and easy stay in a beautiful location - Friendly, helpful people Comfortable accomodation and great location
- Jing (10/5): Luca’s warm hospitality and personal touch made our stay in Taormina truly exceptional. - Luca, the owner, was absolutely amazing—he genuinely cares about his guests. We’re incredibly grateful for his help during our three-day trip in Taormina. When our flight was delayed and we missed our pre-booked taxi, I contacted Luca, and without hesitation, he personally drove to Catania Airport to pick us up. That generous gesture saved our entire vacation plan. The property itself is beautifully designed—comfortable, welcoming, and thoughtfully maintained. The lady who prepared breakfast was also incredibly kind, making us feel like part of the family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
- Jenna (10/5): Exceptional - Luca (the owner) was great. He really cares about his property and makes the guests feel like family. Plus the breakfast was amazing and the location was excellent. It’s just a few minutes walk from Corso Umberto, but on a nice quiet and non-crowded street. Nothing
- Ruta (10/5): What a beautiful place! - Beautiful art pieces, cozy atmosphere and wonderful location. The service is remarkable, with amazing recommendations what to visit and where to eat. The breakfast was also delicious. Every detail perfectly thought of!
- John (10/5): - What an awesome escape this place is.. you’re quickly away from the crowds enjoying your own balcony or the roof deck overlooking the ocean. Luca spoiled us and was always immediately responsive to questions via WhatsApp and provided very useful information for sightseeing and meals - all just steps away. The breakfast is excellent. We drove and the shuttle from Lumbi parking was quick and easy.
- Tania (10/5): - Service impeccable offert par Luca. La localisation est parfaite.
- Julia (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful stay at casa Aricó! The place feels almost like a museum, so much beautiful sicilian art inside! The host Luca was very helpful and gave us a list of recommendations from a local resident. We also really liked Gabriela, the sweet lady who served us breakfast! Such a wonderful person!! They also gave us beautiful flowers for our honeymoon! Thank you, Luca, Gabriela and Casa Aricó!!!
- Nadja (8/5): Nice place but a few things could be improved. - Casa Arico is in a great location close to Taormina's main attractions, heaps of restaurants, shops and the bus station. So we took the bus from Catania and then it was just a 10min walk into town. You can easily reach the beach as well. The room was nice and the bed comfortable. The common area and the rest of the house are also very beautiful. Gabriella who made breakfast was lovely. The view from the terrace is also fantastic. Luca, the owner gave us many tips for restaurants etc as well. We didn't like that we were reminded of the rules for the common areas multiple times. One time would have been enough. It felt like being told off even though we hadn't done anything wrong. A kettle in the room would be good. The cleaning lady also threw one of my soaps out, which I wasn't impressed by. They did respond to my concerns but the damage was done. Breakfast choices were also quite limited. There was barely any fresh fruit and only white bread. Every day was the same as well. I know it is a small placd but it still would have been great to have a bit more varierty. However, when we asked Gabriella she did try to accommodate our requests as much as possible. The father of Luca was a bit grumpy and not very welcoming:-( It would also have been good to learn about the tours on offer before our arrival.
- Kirk (10/5): Fabulous visit to Taormina - Great visit to Taormina in a fabulous location with family. We came with 2 small children and they were incredibly accommodating- thanks Luca. Luca was very helpful throughout our stay. The breakfasts were included and delicious-thanks Gabriella. A++++ stay. My highest compliment is to confirm that when I visit Taormina again, I will make reservations to stay here again.
- Sang (7/5): It was a nice house. Good breakfast but I had a hard time with stairshard time with stairs.hard hard time climbing up th - It was clean and good location I thought it was a hotel But it was B&B. I had to walk up 4th floor to my room. I had a hard time.
- Jessica (10/5): Exceptional - Luca's home is beautiful. So thoughtfully decorated and renovated. Stunning. Luca is super helpful with recommendations and was excellent in communicating. The property is situated very centrally. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending. Nothing
- Jan (8/5): Lovely stay in a friendly “stay at home vibe” place with minor setbacks. - Friendly staff. Very good location in short walking distance to Corso Umberto I, the main pedestrian area of upper Taormina. Balcony with a view of the sea. Very good breakfast. Clean room. Good sound proof windows. Good communication with the manager. We enjoyed our stay very much. A) Problems with the internet connection during our stay making the internet unusable. We talked to the management and they’re working on a fix. B) A distinkt smell emanating from the drain in the shower. Reduced smell right after using the shower. Closing the door to the bathroom and covering the drain with a (wet) towel made the smell practically nonexistent in the main room. According to the manager the problem is with the old sewage system in Taormina, and the smell is only there after bad weather with a lot of rain. So I would think that the above is a ‘no problem’ when visiting this lovely Casa Aricó when the weather is better! C) There is no parking at Casa Aricó, but there is a valet service that parks your car in and retrieves it from a private parking area for 30 € per day - so if you travel by car, remember to take this expense into consideration as well. Taormina does not have a lot of parking options, and I recon that this private parking solution is a must for several B&B, hotels and apartment rentals as well - so this is definitely is NOT a criticism of Casa Aricó!
- Ulrich (9/5): Travel in style - Seaview is perfect, ambience is sophisticated matching the standard of high class boutique hotels. Location is very central avoiding steep walks. Very quiet despite being close to restaurants and cafes. Gabriella prepared a superb breakfast and made sure our room was spotless clean. A lovely lady. Luca is a great host always available to give tips to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Everything was very good. Coffee/teamaker in the room for an early morning drink would be a useful and highly appreciated addition.
- Viola (10/5): It was a beautiful accommodation. -
- Lillian (10/5): Extraordinary property - Quick getaway to Taormina. The property is lovely, well situated to the sites of the old city. Everywhere was walkable, restaurants, shops, and views of the region. The Host was very helpful w suggestions, very kind, and English was well spoken. The property felt very much like a home with beautiful decoration. The breakfast buffet was extraordinary and the table well set. The room was comfortable, welcoming, and quiet. There were plenty of amenities. Higher recommend this property or any of the other Casa Aricò.
- Nina (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful boutique hotel when you can feel like home. Great hospitality
- ali (10/5): - Will definitely going back again
- Peter (9/5): Superb -
- Andreas (9/5): Great place to fully emerse yourself into a different design - Unusual taste ,interior in very convenient spot with excellent host Great hospitality N/a
- Eleanor (9/5): Very relaxing and conveniently situated for fare una passeggiata and restaurants in the evenings. - Furnishings, ceramics, ambiance and Gabriella of course! Roof terrace had been dismantled for autumn… 😕
- Joanne (10/5): Absolutely first class all the way! - Comfortable, and the breakfast was outstanding! Wonderful place to stay so close to everything.
- Karen (10/5): Home away from home in Taromina - The B&B is exceptional Luca & the team go out off their way to make your stay in Taromina unforgettable. Breakfast was delicious rooms are very clean & comfortable. Easy walking distance to all main attractions & many quality restaurants. Highly recommend this property. Absolutely nothing
- Erminia (8/5): Lovely relaxing stay in a beautiful home full of an eclectic art collection and stunning antiques - Wonderful breakfast and lovely Gabriela fussed over us making sure we had all we wanted for breakfast. Beautiful home with an incredible collection of art. Location was 2 minute walk from the old town but far enough away sp one can easily relax and rest without all the noise. Luca was a great host and provided plenty of restaurant recommendations and things to do in Taormina It was a distance from the beach but easily accessible by cable car.
- Jean-pierre (10/5): A gem in Taormina - Our stay at Casa Aricò was phenomenal. The vibe is that of a high-end bed and breakfast or boutique hotel. We were blown away by the attention to detail and tasteful decor. The staff was superbly attentive. The breakfast was the best I'd ever had in Italy. The house attendant, Gabriella, was phenomenal and easily one of our favorite things about this experience. The pictures do not do this place justice and the location could not have been better. I highly, highly recommend it. We rented a car to go to Taormina, and I strongly advise against that. To be clear, this has nothing to do with Casa Aricò, but it was the only stressful part of our stay. If I had to do it all over again, that is the only thing I'd change. Having said that, the staff at Casa Aricò were very accommodating and took great care of our rental, so if you absolutely must drive there, the parking options are both excellent.
- Jonathan (10/5): Perfect place to enjoy Taormina withouth the agitation of the noise but in a properly central location. - The hospitality, the public areas and the beautiful decoration.
- Labarr (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kitty (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful and relaxing stay. The boutique property is beautifully decorated, with so much attention to detail. The location is perfect - very central. The hosts were very helpful and offered some great local recommendations!
- Ksenia (10/5): - Absolute gem. Gorgeous property in an elegant former family home. The decor was very tasteful, lots of interesting art and vases. Has a beautiful rooftop terrace and common area. The breakfast was delightful and we could sit on a balcony enjoying a wonderful view. Luca, the host, was super lovely and helpful, with great recommendations. The location is also great, only a 2 min walk from the Messina gate which is the gateway to the city center. Couldn’t have been better! Highly recommend this incredible B&B. Grazie Luca!
- Matt (10/5): Amazing B&B with the best staff we had in Italy. Will be back for sure!! -
- Corina (10/5): - Everything was just perfect. This place, the hotel, the breakfast, the staff are highly appreciated.
- Ramalho (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gael (9/5): Superb -
- Gael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Scott (10/5): Spotless, ultra comfortable, exquisite facility from top to bottom, with a wonderful staff! - Elegant, spotless facility, from beautiful common areas to the exquisite suites. The cleanest place we've ever stayed! It felt like we were staying in a (most comfortable) art museum. The staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating to any/all needs (thank you Luca, Gabriella and Enrico). And we really appreciated Angelo parking and retrieving our car for us - a very helpful option. Finally, we enjoyed seeing Romeo, the house cat each morning too! Our bed had a low spot in the middle, maybe time for a new mattress? Otherwise, everything was absolutely perfect!
- Barry (10/5): Wonderful stay in unique accommodation. Highly recommend - very good location wonderfully furnished and decorated with art lavish, delicious breakfast helpful staff N/A
- Jonathan (9/5): Good Location~Quiet~Clean - Good location a street back from the hub. Comfortable~Quiet~Clean~Balcony~Breakfast Included. Gabrielle the daily house keeper, was very friendly and informative.
- Emma (10/5): A beautiful place to stay and relax - The location is perfect and the house beautiful. The team is fantastic, so friendly and helpful. They had the best recommendations for places to visit and eat which made for a relaxing time. Spending time in the house was also lovely. Nothing, it was perfect.
- Susan (9/5): Superb -
- Carmine (10/5): Luca is the best. Oh, yeah, the roof top terrace was very cool also. - The wonderful Gabriella provided memorable breakfasts and good conversation. The location was perfect: quiet in a bustling town. It might be a good idea to have two keys available for each room guest, especially if one is going out while the other is staying in. That way the door to the room can be locked while the other is gone.
- Leslie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (10/5): - 2 nites was not enough time
- Madison (10/5): Excellent honeymoon and really enjoyed the artwork within the house. - The breakfast was great, the staff especially attentive and kind, and the beds were amazingly comfortable. The A/C was an added bonus.
- Eric (10/5): - Had a wonderful experience staying here and can’t say enough great things about the host, Luka. The location is tucked away just off the main strip which made it easy to walk everywhere. They offer a transfer to and from the airport and would recommend guests to use it. Luka is the perfect host! He provided a detailed list of recommendations for restaurants, things to do, night life, etc. If I ever visit Taormina in the future I’d absolutely stay here again. Thank you Luka!!
- Marisa (10/5): So glad we chose Casa Aricò & Shatulle Suites for our stay in Taromina! - Our stay at Casa Aricò & Shatulle Suites was wonderful. It's so beautifully decorated and cared for. Our room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was amazing - thank you Gabriella :). The location is great, so close to the main shops and sites. Luca, our host, sent us recommendations for places to eat and visit and also parked our car on arrival and collected it for us when we departed. We highly recommend staying here. Nothing
- Celeste (10/5): A place called home at the heart of Taormina - The warmth of the owners and the lady at the kitchen which made us feel like home and the art surrounding us Nothing to dislike
- Stéphie (10/5): The team is amazing ! Thanks to them we spent the a AMAZING trip - The design of the place is super and the small but confortable rooftop is a plus
- Nathalie (10/5): A wonderful first-ever experience in Taormina - Perfectly located. Very central, but away from the hustle and bustle. The owners were so attentive and you could see that their intent is to ensure their guests have a pleasurable experience. The accommodation is well designed with taste. The rooms are well curated and extremely clean. Nothing!
- Alla (10/5): Exceptional - House atmosphere Very pleasant and nice place
- Phil (10/5): The perfect stay in Taormina - Our room was spacious, comfy and had lovely views. We were personally greeted by the owner and provided with a list of things to do and see. Breakfast was amazing, we received a bottle of sparkling wine as a welcome gift, the decoration of the entire house was breathtaking and the common areas (living room and rooftop terrace) were stunning.
- Jessica (10/5): Excellent stay in the centre of Taormina! - Excellent property and very conveniently located in the centre of Taormina yet on a very quiet street. Luca is extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful, giving recommendations on many aspects of the city. The rooms are perfectly clean and have a fantastic charm to them, well decorated and spacious. All of the amenities were included and you have an amazing view of the sea. Breakfast is also very good and they facilitate parking space for a car for a reasonable price considering the difficulty of parking in the city.
- Patrick (10/5): Everything you need for a perfect getaway in Taormina! - Luca and his father were the perfect hosts in a lovely surroundings. Thank you for the recommendations that made our stay unforgettable! Casa Arico was the perfect accomodation for our stay in Sicily and we highly recommend it. There was really nothing that we found disappointing.
- Doireann (10/5): Outstanding experience, can’t wait to return! - I loved everything, perfect location, wonderful views and exceptionally comfortable accommodation. Highly recommended! nothing!
- Laura (10/5): Great location, beautifully decorated, amazing views! - The hotel is so homely! Decorated in the most beautiful artwork. It's also one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed. The location was perfect - an extremely short walk to the centre of Taormina. The views from the rooftop were amazing - I just wish I had more time to utilise it! The staff were so helpful - Luca especially was available to discuss and make suggestions to our group at any time via WhatsApp. It exceeded my expectation. Not a lot!
- Jakob (10/5): Exceptional - Everything with this place was first class. Luca was an exceptional host and his staff took well care of us doing our stay. Ideal location with a homely character and wonderful views from the roof terrace. Highly recommended!
- Anne (10/5): Incredible stay in Taoromina - Loved staying here!!!! It was the best location, the most gorgeous and beautifully designed interiors, delicious breakfast each morning during which we were able to meet the other guests and have a laugh together. The property is so close to all the good things to do, like getting the cable-car down to the beaches and restaurants/cafes. The property has a gorgeous rooftop which we used a few times to play cards and hang out with superb views. The staff are divine, will be recommending to any of our family or friends travelling here in future. Would have liked access to an iron, they do have a paid service though.
- Anke (10/5): Exceptional - The host put a lot of attention and hospitality into everything. Very remarkable. Our room was fabulous, much bigger than expected. Everything was clean. We appreciated the art and beauty everywhere, in particular the "salotto". Grazie mille, Francesco!!!
- Anonymous (10/5): The perfect way to visit Taormina. - The location was excellent, just a short walk to the shops and restaurants. The property was beautiful, with a rooftop terrace where you could enjoy a drink. The staff were very accommodating and provided excellent, genuine recommendations. The breakfast was a small buffet perfectly hosted by ‘Gabriella’ who would stop at nothing to make you feel welcomed. Nothing.
- Mark (9/5): Lovely room in B&B at a great location. - Central location and very nice room. Helpfulness and communication with Luca. Good breakfast service and chance to meet other travelers.
- Barbara (10/5): Hidden Quiet Treasure in Taormina - What a hidden treasure Casa Aricò & Shatulle Suites turned out to be. Just like the pictures it was amazing to see all the artwork in every area. The upstairs common room and top floor terrace were delightful. Luca was also amazing and such a kind guy who even went and collected our car from the secured parking as the shuttle driver was busy at that time delivering another car. Luca went over and above helping us and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him. Very quick walk through a passage way leads you right into the center of town. Driving in Taormina's incredibly small streets with sharp turns into even smaller streets was exceedingly challenging. Not the hotel's fault at all. Lots of stairs to climb to the room though! Taormina town is small and it can be absolutely over run with thousands of tourists aimlessly wandering the small streets.
- Gabriel (6/5): Pleasant -
- David (10/5): Fabulously memorable….just lovely! - This property is stunningly beautiful and well appointed. The owners are welcoming and extremely helpful. We loved everything. But the pillows could have been a bit fluffier. But overall it is 99.9 percent perfect!
- Gurmit (10/5): - This property is outstanding. Our host Luca was very helpful and kind. He made it easy for us to park car and made sure we had a great experience. Will be back
- Mark (9/5): Superb - Casa Arica was an oasis in tucked away from the maelstrom of peak hour tourism along the main Taormina thoroughfare. Nevertheless the accommodation is proximate the highlights - all within easy walking distance, and, importantly, with minimal steps of descent or ascent. The view to the Ionian Sea from our balcony, over the dome of a church built on the site of a Greek temple to Athena, was both beautiful and restorative. Luca our host was very helpful and made enquiries on our behalf with a local restaurant about a mislaid item, after we had departed Taormina. I would be contriving accommodation deficits to comment on any dislikes except to say that one needs to be ambulant to access the accommodation and the magnificent views from a very comfortable bed!
- Sarah (10/5): A gem in Taormina - Casa Arico was fab!! It’s a beautiful building with loads of interesting art, and every detail is immaculate. it was like staying in a very comfortable art gallery! Luca who hosted us went out of his way to ensure our stay was comfortable, giving us recommendations, helping us with logistics. He was attentive and responsive whenever we needed something. The location of the guesthouse is really nice. A couple of minutes’ walk to the main part of Taormina, but in a small street so away from the crowds. Finally - the breakfast is delicious. A wide choice, homemade cakes, lovely service. We’d happily stay at Casa Arico again! It was all good
- Joanne (10/5): The accommodation is always a big part of my holiday and it did not disappoint. - A fantastic find situated close to the historic area of Taormina. Luca is the perfect host, so friendly, welcoming and helpful. He collected us from the airport and chatted to us on the way to the hotel with lots of information to make sure we got the best out of our short stay. We had his WhatsApp number, which he used to send us a list of restaurants etc.. and he told us if we needed anything to just contact him. I didn’t have the correct adaptor with me so I sent him a quick message and literally within minutes he came to our room with some adaptors to try. He definitely went above and beyond. Then there is Gabriella who looks after you at breakfast and also does the housekeeping. She is fabulous. The breakfast is fantastic consisting of, yoghurts, fruit, granola, meats, cheeses, bread, croissants and even home made cakes by Gabriella. Our room was spotless and when we returned to our room every afternoon it was clean and tidy with fresh towels. The best housekeeping service I have ever had! I will definitely be going back
- Lorna26 (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful host and staff who did everything to make sure our stay was outstanding. The room was very spacious and had a beautiful view from the balcony to the ocean. We arrived late due to an airline delay and yet staff still met us and welcomed us as planned. We were also provided with restaurant recommendations and very clear directions in respect to parking. We would love to return and will recommend to all of our friends. Nothing!
- Patricia (10/5): Fabulous! - Our stay at Casa Aricò started well before we arrived thanks to Luca’s very kind help at organising our visits to places, booking restaurants for us, giving us tips so we had the best experience in Taormina. The place is located walking distance from Porta Messina which is one of the main entrances to the hilltop village. We received a very warm welcome from Luca and Enrico who took care of getting the car parked, and introduced us to their Maison d’Art, beautifully decorated with ancient Sicilian ceramics, paintings and artefacts of different centuries as well as some amazing pictures. The last floor and the roof top offer some fantastic views on the sea and the mountains. Super comfortable bedroom with modern en-suite. Waking up to Gabriella’s smile and homemade “torte” was another highlight of our stay. Celebrating a big birthday, I felt even more pampered with the delicate attentions I received on my special day. I would definitely recommend Casa Aricò as a wonderful place to stay.
- Burkhart (10/5): Cosy, chic and fascinating B&B in the heart of Taormina. - Exceptional location in the heart of the Taormina area; Breakfast was excellent in the cosy dining area. The shared lounge areas were fascinatingly decorated and well-kept. This is an excellent property with much more character and appeal than an average hotel. Nothing
- Alexandra (10/5): Everything was perfect. - This property is impeccable, from the perfect location and staff to the beautiful rooms and amazing breakfast. An absolute gem.
- Heidi (10/5): - The accommodations where beautiful, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We can’t wait to go back. Easy walk to everything in Taormina!

- David (10/5): Great place to stay - The hotel is lovely and the owners are really friendly. They will go above and beyond in trying to help you. Would definitely recommend staying in this hotel. The room had lovely view of the sea.

Nice, charming, cosy accommodation; lots of art, great atmosphere. super breakfast, broad choice of sweets and savory. Close to shuttle and all the touristic venues of Taormina sanitair somewhat dated
