we stayed at Villa Barone and had a fabulous time. the b&b is perfect, with clean comfortable big rooms, wonderful views, and close to the beautiful town centre. guests are made to feel part of the family. we will be back really soon!

This is one of the best places I have ever stayed at!!! The building has a breathtaking panorama not only to the beach and seeside but also to the Etna! The room is actually a very comfortable apartment with a hall, a master bedroom and a "guest room" plus the huge terrace and of course the bathroom. The landlady, Carmen... More

This B&B is a little distance out of town and yes it is all up a very steep hill. Not a problem though as your charming host Carmen is happy to drive you with reasonable notice. The walk is plesant if you are reasonably fit as you wind your way through the residences to arrive in the lovely village. The... More

i am a little late in writing this review as we stayed at villa barone in august. villa barone is a fantastic little guest house, set high above the pretty town of taormina. the views from the villa are stunning, and this alone would be a more than good enough reason to stay there. we stayed in the deluxe ficodindia...

What a lovely place to stay. The view across to Mount Etna was exceptional and the night lights in Giardini-Naxos bay very pretty. Villa Barone is exceptionally clean and well appointed. Carmen was the perfect hostess, full of suggestions as to where to visit and how we might get there; she also provided a lovely varied continental breakfast each morning.... More

We thought Villa Barone was a wonderful place to stay. Looking at the positives it was really clean, very pleasant rooms, great views and Carmen was a wonderful host. She gave us suggestions of where to go, how to get there and was generally very pleasant & helpful. If I were to mention a couple of negatives then there are... More

The rooms were beautifully decorated and appointed. The views were beautiful, but then, the views are beautiful everywhere in that area. When we arrived we were told that there was no shuttle service. It was not recommended we drive because traffic and parking are a big problem. The bus runs very infrequently. Carmen gave us directions-- go to the pink... More

We've recently returned home tired but happy. Having spent nine nights at this lovely b&b in beautiful Taorimina. Our room was beautiful and lovingly furnished. We thouroughly enjoyed returning from a full day of sightseeing and sitting on the lovely balcony taking in the view of Mt. Etna. And what views they are. Mt. Etna and the bay are truly... More
