Big room, wonderful view from our own terrace and a really good breakfast from the friendly owner! We had no problems parking the car in the street, but maybe that is also due to not travelling in main saison. Walking up the steps from the city is also quite manageable (it was not too hot yet).

This was an incredible place to stay. It was high up on the hill, so it requires a lot of walking up stairs. (A lot of stairs!) If you walk all the way down and ask for a taxi ride back up it's 10 euro. If she offers to make you dinner, say yes! She made us a delicious Sicilian... More

We stayed one night at Villa Sara and had a great time watching the eruption on mount Etna from our balcony. The B&B is situated in a very spacious old house with beautiful decoration (if you like old stuff). The rooms have big windows and a balcony overlooking Taormina and offer great views on the volcano. Breakfast was very tasteful... More

As with many Sicilian town destinations, we arrived a bit fraught after the sat nav yet again let us down (once we got into the usual hairpin bends and narrow old streets!). However, that mood was soon dispelled by the charming Senora Elena and the room's stunning view down the coast - totally dominated by the backdrop of smoking Mt... More

Our best hotel in whole stay in Sicily. Views, host, everything is perfect if you don't mind 10m walk on stairs to the city center. HIGHLY recommended, you will never have such a perfect view. The room has balcony with chairs, perfect view on etna.

The view from the balcony in our room was the most amazing we had in Sicily, and Elena the owner is a super sweet and lovely old lady. Breakfast is simple but very good, and served in the house's old grandeur decorated dining room. Parking which is hard to come by in the town is available near by. We would... More

..the name of the beautiful room where we slept our night in Taormina but also the name of the owner, a lovely host indeed. We are certainly going back when in Taormina. Just in case : the place is a few mins walk (by stairs) to the centre of the old town, you really do not need a taxi to... More

Staying in Villa Sara in Taormina is much like staying with a beloved relative at their amazing vacation home. The beautiful view over the coastline and Mt. Etna from our spacious balcony will be remembered forever. When we visited, the Royal Clipper of the Star Clipper line was anchored in the bay below, with the lights adorning the masts adding...

Just returned from a week stay in Villa Casa - the apartment option in Villa Sara. Fantastic views of Taormina and Mount Etna. Apartment a bit outdated do not expect power showers but everything was very clean. Lovely balcony. Web site needs to be updated as there was no washing machine, kettle, iron etc. Breakfast was good with eggs, tomatoes... More

The views are fantastic and I was so glad we were not in Taormina itself. We booked too late to have a room with a terrace but there is a terrace off the kitchen where I sat for a whole day reading. We stayed for 2 nights and had the savoury breakfast which was excellent. My only complaint (a constant... More
