We stayed at Plnas house back in November, and what a treat it was! By far one of our most memorable stays and will certainly be back. The BnB was clean, and full of art and interesting antique collections that Plna has collected her whole life. The balcony’s have incredible views of Etna, where you will sit and eat the delicious breakfast. The breakfast was slightly different each morning which was exciting and was in season home grown produce. The area is quiet and less than 10 minutes into the middle of Taormina. Plna had great local recommendations, and is great to talk to. We will certainly be back for more adventures in Taormina. Ben and Amber

Mrs. Pina was an attentive host that made us feel very welcome in her home. She was helpful with whatever we needed from food and sightseeing recommendations to helping us order a taxi to the airport. The house is charming with the highlight being the amazing view over the Etna from the balcony, which is also where the breakfast is served. The area is very quiet while still being in walking distance from sightseeing and restaurants in Taormina. We booked a parking spot through Mrs Pina which was very convenient, as there are not many parking spots otherwise in the area.

If you're not used to driving in mountains and narrow streets, going to Taormina in car can be a bit scary. The streets around B&B Villa Giorgia are luckily very quiet, so you can take your time with it.

The breakfast at Villa Giorgia is wonderful with all locally sourced ingredients and a selection of both sweet and savory. The savory included very thin crostini with a basil pesto and cherry tomatoes with either fresh mozzarella or ricotta and a hard boiled egg, depending on the day. The croissant pastries could be paired with marmalade and butter or not, depending on your preference. Either way, they were fresh and served warm. There was also a plate of different fruits offered. The view from the breakfast terrace is exceptional for its front row seat to Mt. Etna. The hospitality provided by Signora Pina is unmatchable in her welcoming attitude and her attention to detail. And you don’t have to miss a minute in front of ‘her majesty’ (Mt. Etna) as you deliberate over a breakfast buffet table because everything that you’ll need or want for breakfast is brought to your table by Vera, Signora Pina’s friendly breakfast server. Another nice touch is that fresh flowers are placed in your room every day—the fruits of Signora Pina’s dedication to her beautiful garden which surrounds her house. Villa Giorgia is a special treat not to be missed on your next stay in Taormina!

There was nothing that could have been better at Villa Giorgia.

Beautiful and unique styled apartment with breathtaking views on Etna and very close to Taormina Old Town. Pina is the most hospitable owner with the best tips about town and surroundings. On our arrival day she got us free tickets to the art festival in Antic Theater. She also helped us with reservations and provided beach towels. Overall we could not be happier with our stay. Having everyday breakfast and seeing Etna smoking was a truly unique experience we will never forget.

It was one of the most beautiful and amazing properties I have ever visited. It has a real atmosphere and depicts the artistic spirit of the owner Pina. Pina was so welcoming and lovely. She was trying her best to make our experience pleasant. She was very helpful with information and guidance about interesting places to visit and generally speaking about the history of the area. Properly was also clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and served, if weather permits, on the beautifully decorated balcony with a view of Etna. The location is very convenient, close to central part of town and In a quiet area. I truly recommend visiting this property.

I can’t think of anything that I didn’t like about the property and our stay.

Mrs Pina, looked after us from the moment we arrived to the moment we left (with hugs and all). Her house is a wonderful treasure trove of her own families history and antiques and objects from around Sicily, its wonderful that she invites people into her own home and for a while you do feel like you are part of the family. The view of Mount Etna is amazing and mesmerising, the bedroom was very comfortable and had good air conditioning and some amazing furniture and the traditional breakfast sets you up for the day. After driving to the villa, we had parking and you might not think you are close to the centre (after driving the one way system about for times before we got the right turn) but just down the secret steps and you are right in the centre of the historic town. Most excellent.

it was great for us.

What a welcoming haven in Taormina. It was so heart warming to have contact with our gracious host Mrs Pina for weeks ahead and to be phoned already at the airport to see how we were doing (took a while to find Avis etc.). The view of Etna volcano and its plume of smoke was magnificent from the flower-tangled balcony where we ate a delicious breakfast and met other travellers (total only 3 rooms). Most guests we met were doing a Sicily round trip by car and spent a couple of nights at Villa Giorgia (we stayed longer). Many guests return - one couple had already booked Christmas. Guests have access to the very arty, elegant and cosy living room - it feels like home - the kind of home you want to have. The walls are adorned with colourful paintings and memorabilia, and there are piles of books. When it rains you eat breakfast at a long table indoors. Our bedroom was small but delightfully furnished and hung with art - with one of those princess-style crowns above the bed that you see in traditional decor. The shower was large and had a hand shower I managed to work so I avoided wet hair. Loo at bidet.

The wifi was not working due to some construction work. The gorgeous view facing Etna comes with a downside - you need to do a hefty walk up the hill back home. Not really a problem for the young and fit - and quite healthy even for the old and decrepit if you do it in the cooler evening. No good going to town by car as there is almost no parking to find in Taormina. A taxi would cost about 15 eur.

I enjoyed my stay at Villa Giorgia; Pina was an excellent host and could help with early check-in as I arrived in Taormina at 11 am. She also kindly offered breakfast at 7.30 am as I had to leave early. The villa is in a quiet, residential area but it is only 15 min or so walk from the centre and all the touristic attractions; Teatro Antico, public garden ( which was created by Lady Florence Trevelyan, a Scottish woman), cable car (funivia in Italian) station, which can take you to Isola Bella in 10 min or so. It is a 10 min taxi ride from the bus terminal in Taormina. Overall, I enjoyed my time there and I am grateful for Pina’s fantastic hospitality.

Nothing.

Pina is the real queen of Taormina and her place is an OASIS straight from our dreams of Sicily… From the very first moment we stepped on the lush, greeen terrace with stunning views of the town, we felt at home. Villa Giorgia is beautiful and one of a kind, all thanks to Pina’s amazing hospitality and charm. Don’t miss a chance to eat the most delicious dinner at Trattoria Don Camillo nearby, run by her daughter. Ci vediamo Pina. Grazie di cuore

The property has loads of character and a really lovely atmosphere. Our generous breakfast was served on a sunny, leafy terrace, with a great view of Etna in the distance. The room and facilities were all great and were thoroughly cleaned each day. The town centre is a five minute walk away, with food shop and restaurants on the way. The owner couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed staying here for five nights and would definitely recommend it

We didn't want to leave after our five nights.
