Carmelita is a wonderful woman who made our stay comfortable and provided a really good and plentiful breakfast each day. We stayed on the second floor. The location is great, and while not in the hustle of Taormina a bit higher on the cliff, all of that was easily accessible via the buses that were maybe 100 meters from the property. The courtyard area for breakfast or even enjoying wine was great. Once the A/C in our room caught up to the initial heat in the room (it was late July), it had no problem keeping our room comfortable. Having onsite free parking was also a welcomed treat and not the norm in our other Sicily adventures before and after Taormina.

The matress was a bit firm for our liking, but this is apparently just how beds in Sicily are, as we felt this way across all our stays during our 2-week journey.

The view of the coast from the property is beautiful. Although, the property is not in the main part of town, this turned out to be a benefit. Parking was on site and a free shuttle into town was a 2 minute walk away. The price per night was also very reasonable, making the stay a great value. The breakfasts were very good. Carmelita is a good host and made everything very easy. She even let us use her laundry machine and hung up our clothes on the line to dry! The room was good size and very clean.

The only minor complaint is that Carmelita smokes and on occasion the smell was overwhelming. This wouldn't keep me from going back, though.

The apartment is located very close to the highway, but I would still say the location is excellent - it takes less than 10 minutes on foot to reach the city center, and there's also a shuttle bus that runs every 5 minutes, so you can get to town even faster. Our wonderful host, a very kind and friendly woman, explained all of this to us. She even let us do our laundry at her place. The room looks exactly like the pictures - clean, tidy, and functional. There is private parking in front of the house. Breakfast was excellent - croissants, bread, jams, Nutella, fruit salad, etc. Highly recommended!

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.
