We visited Casa Cuseni as a museum and historical garden. What a place and the idea that you could stay here, where Garbo, Oscar Wilde, Tennessee Williams, Henry Moore and many other luminaries stayed... is just mind-boggling. The house feels like they are still there. We had lunch on the outside terrace overlooking the hillside, the ocean and Mt. Etna... More

Relatively easy to find from the motorway, parking was made easy by the valet service. The location is ideal, with stunning views over the bay and towards Etna whilst being a short walk from Corso Umberto. We had the Picasso room which was a suite consisting of a large bedroom with balcony, modern en-suite (but in an old style) and... More

I cannot say enough good things about Casa Cuseni. Mimma and Francesco were SO accommodating and friendly (Francesco even parked my car for me when it was obvious that the crazy American was NOT going to fit in the tiny Italian garage) and the house is absolutely gorgeous. Where else can you stay in a MUSEUM?? They had original Picassos... More

Casa Cuseni has the most stunning setting above Taormina, looking out over the sea and Etna. The view from the balcony outside the bedroom is so wonderful that one is hardly tempted to go anywhere else - except perhaps to wander in the beautiful, terraced garden which extends round the house in all directions, or to have an excellent breakfast...

Read Daphne Phelps' book, A House in Sicily, before you go, then go! Amazing house, gardens, view of Etna (it erupted while we were there). We were in the Daphne Phelps room, which is huge with a lovely shared terrace. Mimma and Francesco couldn't be more helpful and charming. The location is great, close to one of the walking paths...

How do you thank a family that shares it's treasure house, family traditions and love of Sicily with such passion? Not only do they share the history, paintings, 1st addition books, pictures of famous guest and treasures you will see no where else with you, but they share true love of people. Breakfast is a fun time to gather with... More

We had the priviledge (yes, it really feels like a priviledge!) of staying at Casa Cuseni in early April 2013. The place is stunning and filled with cultural history. In fact it's one the most memorable hotels / B&Bs I've ever stayed at. A beautiful villa high up on the hill overlooking Taormina and the bay of Naxos. We had... More

We stayed two nights at the amazing Casa Cuseni towards the end of march , what an experience! Unbelievably interesting place , full of treasures from the past , Excellent breakfast and very clean , the owner Francesco was full of information for us and gave us a mini tour of this beautiful house ,he is very passionate and friendly...

This place is much nicer that what we had in mind. We stayed there end of February. This is one of the most interesting place I've been to. This place should be much more expensive. I don't think you need to be into arts to appreciate this place but if you are, then you have to go there. It's just... More
