This Little treasure spot of family guided guesthouse is a warm welcoming, true relaxing & affordable place to stay at Taormina. The rooms seems to be quite simple furnished but very comfortable & practical & very clean. The bed & the bed lining are very good to relax after a long day. The rooms are not too small or too big, just perfect. The private parking place is just perfect near by. Actually little guesthouse is located at the bottom coast line. It feels a little bit like the little sister of the big grand dame of Taormina. Therefore it is more local less touristic. Delicious little food store close by: a butcher with lunch service, bakeries, food stalls, stony beach.. Reaching the touri part of Taormina there is a walking serpentine path along the green growing nature garden … quite sportiv but just wonderful Or you can take the bus or the train. Both stations are close by. For the very close train station just be prepared that you might hear the sound of train traffic sometimes. My advice for traveling anyway: to use earplugs at night if you are sensitive. I recommend this wonderful place with full hearth. Anytime would come here again I would be thankful to be a guest here again.

The hotel is located near the train station - although part of the walk is on a busy street without sidewalks/pavements, but not a big problem. Since I arrived and left by train, this was very convenient - and there are regular buses up and down the hill to Taormina itself. Although coming back from Taormina, it seemed a little chaotic at the bus station, with no clear schedule. The people who work at the pensione are very very nice and friendly - a touch of the real Italy.

I was there on a Sunday night so not much open nearby in the way of restaurants - but able to get some eggplant parmigiana from the butcher shop next door. And yes, you can hear the trains go by, but even though I was on the side overlooking the tracks, they did not disturb my sleep.

The location was wonderful, about 60 yards from Taormina Central Train Station and a short bus ride to the city center. Also a short walk to the restaurants of Gardini- Naxos. The Pensione is owned and operated by a husband and wife, who go out of their way to make you feel welcome and at home. The breakfast each morning was perfect. While the terrace on the roof over looking the bay, was a relaxing way to end each busy day with a glass of wine. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay.

Absolutely nothing negative. In doing research, the sound of the trains is mentioned, since the building sits next to the tracks on a busy line. However, they do not run after 11PM, it is extremely quiet after this time.

It was very clean, comfortable apartment. The staff was very kind, helpful. They also have private parking very near to the accommodation. You can also buy very good pizza next door. It is very close to the train station but trains are very fast and it takes only 5 sec and it’s quite again.

when someone locks the door or makes some noises on the floor in the morning (6am) it was like he is in our room. except for this moment everything was very good

Cleanest, most comfortable and welcoming stay I’ve had in my last month backpacking. Staff are lovely and welcoming, super clean, location great with a very frequent bus stop 30 seconds from the hotel which takes you to Taormina bus terminal centre and isola Bella starting very early and finishing past midnight. Much nicer staying in this area as it’s out of the main crows and only a 5 minute walk to lovely emerald green beaches couldn’t recommend this hotel enough! 5 mins from train station also! Perfect stop for Etna excursions which generally leave from the Taormina bus terminal.

Nothing

Private secure parking, near/on main road to Naxo/beachfront (walkable, driveable and public transportation), decent "carb breakfast" with any type of coffee, dated but clean rooms. Small family run hotel with husband, wife and niece. Started off a bit rocky as owner was not pleased that I wanted the available room located at the front with view of mountain and road versus rear room with view of railway tracks, but after that, all was good. They were being thoughtful in initially offering the rear room as they felt the front room, facing road, may be too noisy, but with the doors closed at night, the room was quiet. The niece was very helpful with directions, points of interest and open to address any questions. Others good as well. Overall experience quite positive.

I only mention this as a note and not necessarily as a negative. The front door exits directly onto the main road, which is usually very busy and fast. This is the road that leads to the main strip/beach area and very close to the road leaving little to no space to safely walk. This may be considered somewhat "the norm" in several areas within Sicily.

Hotel Pensione Cundari is a lovely little hotel very close to Taormina Giardini train station. We unfortunately only could stay for one night, but we absolutely hope to return there! The room was extremely clean and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was fabulous! And most of all, the gracious hosts made sure to make us feel very welcome and taken care of. Since the train station is just a 2-min walk away, it is easy to take the hop on hop off bus (the red one) which takes you everywhere around the area, all day long, so it is very easy to get back to the hotel after a long and beautiful day in this magical place on Earth.

It is a gem of a place. A warm, friendly, authentic atmosphere. The town of Taormina above is beautiful, but touristy. It was nice to come down from there to such a wonderful little pensione. I would not stay anywhere else. The pizzeria next door was also quite good.

Coming from the train station, you do have to walk along the side of the road for about 50 yards. In Sicily, sidewalks tend to be optional, so it is not unusual. However, it was not too inconvenient.

It was the best stay of my life! We were welcomed by the lovely owners who gave us great suggestions on how to explore the place, plus they were the reason we visited a local festival and explored nearby Naxos. The room was one of the best I’ve ever stayed in, extremely clean, comfortable, making you feel like you are on vacation at your family’s summer house. Plus, the breakfast was fantastic. We had a great stay and we will definitely come back to the same place for another unforgettable experience. Thank you Maria & Angelo, see you again!

We enjoyed every bit of it.

Excellent location if you are staying overnight to visit Taormina. Bus to Taormina stop is 100 metres from the hotel (1,5 EUR for 1 way) . The accomodation offers free closed parking space which is also a huge bonus. It was very clean, staff excellent. We got all the necessary information

The property is right next to the train tracks and the whole building shook when the fast trains passed by, even if we had a room on the other side of the building - there was also very noisy traffic. It was heavy to sleep.
