Nothing - everything was excellent

Salvo & Maria went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional - the small details in our room were so beautiful and they were very generous with their time to help us with recommendations for our trip. The breakfast and small touches left for us in our room were massively appreciated and made our stay in Taormina unforgettable.

We had an amazing time staying at this property! From the moment we arrived, the hosts were incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful. They truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for a perfect holiday. Their kindness and hospitality made us feel like we were visiting close friends rather than staying in a rental. The apartment itself was spotless, well-equipped, and very comfortable. But the highlight was definitely the breathtaking view from the balcony – absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. Waking up every morning to such a beautiful panorama was unforgettable. The location is ideal – everything you need is within walking distance: restaurants, shops, beaches, cafes, and even public transport if you want to explore further. Despite being so close to everything, the area is peaceful and quiet, perfect for relaxing. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay, and we’ll definitely be coming back. A huge thank you to the owners for making our stay so special – you made all the difference!

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Arianna B&B. The room was clean, spacious, and had a very comfortable bed. We especially loved the beautiful view from the balcony. The location is perfect, just a 2-minute walk to the beach. What really made our stay special were the incredible hosts. Every morning, they served a generous and delicious breakfast on the balcony. They also went above and beyond by offering to pick us up and dropping us off at the bus stop, and we found small, thoughtful gifts left in the room during our stay. Such a lovely touch! Overall, it’s amazing value for money, and we would absolutely love to come back one day.

We had an amazing experience at Villa Arianna B&B. The host was incredibly attentive and went out of their way to make our stay special with thoughtful gestures and top-notch service throughout. The view from our balcony was stunning – a perfect spot to unwind. The location is ideal for those wanting to spend more time at the beach, but it’s also just a short walk to the cable cars that take you straight into the city center. A perfect balance of relaxation and access to Taormina. Highly recommend!

This hotel is actually much more beautiful than it appears in the photos. The view from the balcony alone is worth the stay. Having breakfast served on the balcony at our preferred time was fantastic. The hosts, Salvo and Maria Pia, are incredibly friendly and helpful with anything you might need. We’ll definitely be back—and stay longer next time.

Mattress is on the softer side

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Arianna. The owners were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. One of the highlights was enjoying a delicious breakfast each morning on our own private terrace - the view overlooking Mazzarò bay was absolutely breathtaking. They also accommodated my gluten allergy and brought me gluten free bread every morning. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, and the location couldn’t have been better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a warm, scenic, relaxing and personable stay.

Property was in a great location by the beach. A short walk to the chair lift when to want to visit the of town. Location is close to some good restaurants that have sea views. The property is a traditional style but very spacious and comfortable. Hosts Salvo and Maria could not have been more helpful from prior to arriving with parking information to providing suggestions and directions for day trips outside of Taormina. Our breakfast was beautifully served each morning on our large balcony overlooking the sea.

A Truly Unforgettable Experience – More Than Just a Stay! Our stay at Villa Arianna B&B was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were embraced with warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality. Maria Pia and Salvo are not just incredible hosts – they made us feel like family. Their love for what they do shines through every detail, and it's impossible not to feel at home in their care. What made our experience truly unforgettable was how Maria Pia and Salvo went above and beyond in every possible way to help orchestrate two very special moments during our visit: my proposal to my girlfriend and her birthday celebration. They poured their hearts into helping me plan a stunning and intimate proposal, creating the perfect setting and atmosphere that felt personal and deeply meaningful. It was flawless, emotional, and everything we dreamed of. And then came her birthday – and once again, they outdid themselves. From the thoughtful touches, surprises, and sheer attention to detail, they created a day full of joy, love, and celebration that we will treasure forever. They genuinely cared about making these moments extraordinary, and thanks to them, they were beyond perfect. Villa Arianna is a beautiful place on its own – charming, comfortable, and with breathtaking surroundings – but what makes it truly exceptional is Maria Pia and Salvo’s spirit. Staying here didn’t feel like a typical B&B visit – it felt like we were staying with dear friends who celebrated our happiness like it was their own. We left with full hearts and memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime. If you're lucky enough to stay here, you're in for an experience that will touch your soul. Endlessly grateful. We can’t wait to return.

Service level was outstanding. Super location and extraordinarily clean. The hosts did everything to make our stay unforgettable.

Nothing! We were blown away by the whole stay.

Incredible stay that you should book if it's lucky enough to be available during your dates, seriously! I travel a lot but this is actually the very first review I've taken the time to write because the hospitality of Salvo and Maria Pia is mind-blowing and the property, room, and view is incredible. You're in the best location that's within steps of the convenience store, taxi rank, cable car, and steps to Mazzaro beach, whilst also being only a few minutes walk to Isla Bella beach. The room stunning, shower is high pressure, bed is super comfortable and everything is SO clean. Each day we were left different snacks or gifts as a surprise after each clean and Salvo even kindly brought us too and from the train station on our arrival and on our departure day which was very helpful for us. Salvo, Maria Pia went above and beyond and we will always remember this trip thank you!

Nothing. If anything the train zips by below, but it never bothered us.

We had a delightful experience staying at Arianna B&B. The hosts Salvo and Maria were so welcoming, helpful and kind. They went beyond what you would expect to make our stay perfect. The view from the room and balcony are incredible. Breakfast was abundant and dining every morning with the view of the beach below was a highlight. It’s only a 2 min walk to the cable car and has easy beach access. A very Sicilian feel with cherubs lining every surface, it was a perfect stay, thank you Salvo and Maria.

Nothing

Villa Arianna is a place one can only dream about staying at and lucky enough to find! It starts and ends from the truly personal care of the owners Maria Pia and Salvo. They sent us messages even before our stay on how to find them reassuring us on all our queries. The met us in the parking lot, guided us to the accommodation, helped us with our luggage and greeted us with a wonderful bottle of wine. The room in the traditional Sicilian style was beautiful and immaculate with a large terrace overlooking the beautiful Mediterranean sea and was breathtaking. The terrace accommodates a table and even 2 sunbeds. Every morning breakfast is brought to you in the room at the time you wish (no strict breakfast times as in regular hotels) on the terrace resplendent with everything one desires and so much fresh local fruit. Salvo took the time to point out everything in Taormina and even printed maps on additional sites nearby we might like to see. There are only 4 rooms enabling Salvo and Maria to take care of every wish a guest has and with such sincere care for their guest's welfare and needs. We celebrated our wedding anniversary there and Salvo himself made us a personalized wooden engraving that we could take home and cherish. What host does that?! Did I mention it's great location? Directly across from the beach with several restaurants a few steps away and a 1 minute walk to the Gondola that takes you up to the famous town of Taormina. I can only say that we very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Arianna, the truly personalized service, the fantastic view directly across the street from the ocean, the immaculately appointed, beautiful room, the superb breakfast served when you feel like it and most of all the hosts' kindness and care to truly meet all their guest's needs and wishes and enjoy doing so. If you are lucky enough to acquire a room here on your next visit to Taormina (as there are only 4) you will certainly not regret it!

We had a wonderful few days at Villa Arianna! We loved their attention to detail and their eagerness to please. Nothing was too much bother for them. Outstanding hospitality. The breakfast was amazing especially enjoying it overlooking the bay. The cable car is 10€ return per person, so it adds a bit to your bill if you're going to go up top to eat dinner. We found 3 nights in this location was just right to see Taormina.

This was the perfect spot for us, Cable Cars made it really quick to get to Town for restaurants and bars, its close to nice beaches, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sun. Came in on a bus from the airport and left on the train and transport links were great. The breakfasts were the best part for us, enjoying the views out on the terrace. Never had better hosting, and some very sweet touches made the trip for us. Would 100% recommend staying.

The location, cleanliness, staff and the view from our large balcony.

The elevator is quite small but it was fine as we were only two people

What I loved most about our stay was the warmth and thoughtfulness of the owners. They went above and beyond, leaving little treats on our room everyday, giving us a free ride from the bus station to the hotel, sharing the best restaurants and things to do in Sicily all while being nice and discreet. We also enjoyed waking up to a stunning view of the beach and enjoying a delicious breakfast each morning on the balcony.

For those with significant mobility problems, the owners have done their best by installing a mini lift, but there are still 23 stair steps to the lift from the front door. While this was manageable for me with a walking stick, those needing a walker or wheelchair may struggle.

The exceptional kindness of the owners, Maria and Salvo, was worth the stay in itself. The breakfasts they set up on our balcony every morning, the afternoon treats left for us, the beautiful anniversary card made for us out of wood made our stay extra special. The view of the bay is exceptional, the bed was comfortable, the shower was strong and hot, the room was spacious. We enjoyed listening to and watching the hustle and bustle of the street and train track below us, as well as hearing the sounds of the waves and watching the sea sparkle and the sun rise. The location around the corner from the cable car and a few steps from Isola Bella and the beach below, was ideal

Maria Pia and Salvo were the most amazing hosts; I can’t say enough good things about them. They were generous, attentive, kind, and informative. Salvo offered to pick us up and drop us off at the train station. When we arrived at the B & B, we were given a bottle of wine. The facilities were spotless and close to everything, namely the beach, Isola Bella, & cable car to Taormina. Every morning, Salvo and his wife brought breakfast to our balcony and set it up. The balcony overlooked the sea. Gorgeous view! The breakfast was incredible. They provided us with croissants, eggs, meat & cheese, fruit, juice, coffee & tea. It was just an amazing spread. Every afternoon when we returned to our room, they surprised us with drinks & snacks. On the last day of our stay, they surprised us with a bottle of champagne and a personalized memento with our names on it. Our stay was truly wonderful. Maria Pia and Salvo take great pride in their business and make their guests feel special. Thank you so much for your kindness! We highly recommend you stay with them.

What did we like? Maybe it would be easier to write what we didn't like because there would be nothing to write. It was a fantastic few days! Amazing, caring and very friendly property owners, best wishes to them!❤️🙏🤓🙋‍♀️Everything is here and the location is very convenient, you will reach all places of interest without any difficulties, because everything is near you! You will never forget the view from the terrace, as well as the wonderful Maria Pia and Salvo! Thank you for a wonderful birthday!🎂

Nothing, it was wonderful.

I highly recommend Villa Arianna! Our hosts Salvo and Maria are adorable and so generous with their time and efforts to make our stay the best possible. The rooms are large with a huge private terrace overlooking the sea. In the mornings (at your specified time) a gentle knock on the door would announce our hosts with trays laden with delicious food and coffee for breakfast. They would then set up everything on our private terrace. It was such a treat! The bathrooms are very clean and spacious with fresh towelling robes everyday. There is a lift that takes you from your room to the street level which is so tiny we had the giggles every time we used it. We loved the location as it had a little shop just outside and the beach was a 2 minute walk away. There are lots of restaurants along the beach for lunch. Then in the evenings we would head up to the town centre in the gondola which is 2 mins walk from the Villa Arianna! I stayed with my two grown up daughters and we had the BEST time as they gave us a room with 3 beds so we could all be together. Salvo even offered to give us a lift to the bus station on our last morning, so kind. Thank you both for a wonderful time in your gorgeous villa xx

We had a wonderful week-long stay here in late September. I would not hesitate to recommend Villa Arianna. The room was fantastic with an unbeatable view from the balcony. Breakfast each morning on the balcony was a particular highlight, as were the daily treats left in our room when we returned from a day out. Salvo and Maria Pia were excellent hosts whose attention to detail made for a great experience. Any advice we required was available throughout our stay and while always being available, their assistance never felt intrusive. The room is very spacious and comfortable, with all the facilities you need. The location beside the cable car was ideal for staying by the beach, at the same time as being only minutes from the hustle and bustle of Taormina. Everything was spotlessly clean. Truly unforgettable.
