The reviews are rightly full of praise. It’s run by a wonderful host who kindly picked us up from the rail station and who is extremely helpful and kind. The room was spotlessly clean and spacious. The breakfast was perfect every day with excellent fresh offerings. There is a sweet family of cats. You can walk down to a choice of beaches if you don’t mind a hike and a slope. A super regular free shuttle bus 2 minutes walk down the road makes it easy to get into the historic (and sometimes manic) tourist heart of town and a great way to escape again.

The lovely views along the coast to the north are somewhat blighted by the road systems below and a little road noise pervades the ‘sun terrace’ here.

-The breakfast: fresh produce and beautiful view (the coffee could definitely be better though). - Big room. - Parking on the property at no extra charge - Great location: the house is a short walk from the bus terminal where we could find the free shuttle bus service to Taormina town centre.

- The bed was not very comfortable and very noisy (if one person moved in the bed, it could awaken the other person) - The room is in need of a paint job and remodel (the walls have some cracks and are dirty with smudges from dead mosquitoes). - It wasn't a problem for us, but important to mention that the staff, though friendly, didn't seem to be fluent in English.

The views from the terrace are beautiful. The location is great- short walk to the town and not too far from the beach too. There’s also free shuttle buses to both but we didn’t use them. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Our lovely host, Carmelita, was very hospitable. A highlight of our stay was the generous spread she made us for breakfast on the terrace with the backdrop of the beautiful view. Breakfast included fresh orange juice, fresh croissants, fruit salad, yoghurt, omelette, prosciutto and cheese and delicious coffee too! We had to leave very early on our last morning and she was very nice to pack us a takeaway breakfast. I enjoyed practising my Italian with Carmelita.

Not a problem for us but part of the path to the town is a very tight footpath or walking on the road partly. This is quite a short walk though.

Our stay at La Cage aux Folles B&B in Taormina was truly exceptional. Carmelita, our gracious hostess, made each morning memorable with a delightful breakfast spread featuring fresh pastries, local delicacies, and aromatic coffee, all enjoyed with stunning views of Taormina's picturesque landscape. We appreciated the convenience of the free shuttle to the city center, just a short stroll (3 mins top) from the B&B, which made exploring Taormina effortless. Additionally, the free parking at the B&B was a bonus, making it easy for us to explore the surrounding areas with peace of mind. Overall, La Cage aux Folles B&B offers a perfect blend of breathtaking views, delicious breakfasts, convenient amenities like free shuttle and parking, and outstanding hospitality thanks to Carmelita.

While everything was wonderful, we did notice that the room was a bit dusty and so many mosquito bites we had to endure unfortunately but nothing to do with the facilities just mentioning so nobody can forget their mosquito bite cream or lotion like me

The first thing that you notice on arrival is the stunning panoramic view from the extensive balcony, which is also where our wonderful host, Carmelita, served a really delicious breakfast each morning. Our room was clean, comfortable and had a very good-sized and well-equipped bathroom - perfect for our 2 night stay. The property is just a short walk to a bus station from where a free shuttle runs at regular short intervals to the town centre. On-site parking was a real bonus, and once at the property we did not need to use our car again to move around or visit the town. Carmelita was the perfect host, including providing tips on what to so and see in the town and surrounding area, and we really appreciated her genuine warm hospitality.

The property was initially a little difficult to locate when we were arriving by car. The signage was small and more explicit directions prior to arrival would have helped. That said, Carmelita met us at a close-by location and guided us the last few metres to her property, so it really wasn't a great issue.

Very enjoyable room with an amazing view! The host, Carmelita is super nice and helpful; very attentive to our needs (exe: took note of what we prefer for breakfast and she customized ours accordingly; offered lifts with her car, as it was easier for my 70-years mom, gave us advices/ suggestions, etc). The room is very clean and spacious; acces to a beautiful terrace. 3 min from the bus station (bringing us to the city center) and even the city center is very close (walking distance if you are ok with up-hills and heat).

All good for us; nothing negative to say.

If you want an authentic southern Italian experience, then that’s the place to book. The view from the house is breathtaking. The room itself is spacious, has all the needed amenities and the wifi is great too. The best thing is the great and very hospitable host Carmelita who provided us with a great breakfast with a view every morning and urged us to make ourselves at home. The fact that you can park a car on the property is a huge bonus considering the fact that most parking options in Taormina are paid and not very convenient location-wise.

The location was wonderful, super close to the free shuttle service, but also slightly removed from the busy activity of the tourist area. Our hostess provided a wonderful breakfast each morning. When we first arrived, she drove us around to see where to catch the shuttle. She also drove us up to Taormina to show us where the shuttle would drop us off. The facility was very relaxing ... Comfortable beds, very clean, beautiful room and bathroom, easy to operate air conditioning in the room. Her location is also quiet and removed from the center of activity of Taormina. On our last morning, she offered to drive us to the train station but we had already purchased bus tickets. She gave us a ride to the bus area to save us from riding the shuttle service with our luggage. I cannot overstate how kind and generous she was. A wonderful stay at a beautiful location.

We loved this B&B. Carmelina was an amazing hostess, picking us up from the bus station and welcoming us to her house. Breakfasts were amazing, on the veranda with a fantastic view, there was freshly squeezed orange juice, fruit, fresh croissants, home made jam etc. The location is a short distance from the free shuttle to the main town, the shuttles are frequent (every 10 mins or so) till well into the night and is just a 5-10 min ride. We would definitely recommend.

Carmelita (the host) was exceptional. We had some trouble getting a transfer/taxi from the airport but Carmelita helped us to arrange to get to the hotel. Her kindness didn’t stop from there and more than once she gave us a lift up the hill to the town, and advised us on anything we needed. She also helped us get back to the airport due to our flight being cancelled. Our room was very clean, and we looked forward to the breakfast every morning, it was fresh, of great quality and made even better with a fantastic view. I can’t thank Carmelita and everyone else at the hotel enough for their hospitality and kindness.

Nothing at all
