I cannot recommend Villa Arianna highly enough. The hosts Maria and Salvo are the most lovely people who went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible not to mention the amount of information they gave me about local restaurants and attractions to visit. My room was very comfortable with an incredible view of the beach. My room had a great sized terrace where I was served an excellent breakfast every day. I look forward to coming back to Villa Arianna. Regards Thomas

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! We were blown away by the whole stay.

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!

Nothing

Everything from beginning to the end of our stay. Maria Pia and Salvo couldn’t have been better hosts. From the welcome and advice they gave when we arrived to the friendly way they served a top class breakfast to us every morning on our veranda. The accommodation was spotless,comfortable and in a great location. It was 5* treatment received.

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. If anything the train zips by below, but it never bothered us.

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

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.

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.

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.

absolutely nothing.

There are many things to love about this place: - the view - the room (spacious & charming with a local Sicilian feel) - the breakfast (served on the balcony at a time of your choosing) - the location (30m from the cable car to take you up to Taormina town; 3 min walk to Mazzaro beach; 10 min walk to Isola Bella) BUT…the best thing of all is the level of service. Salvo and Maria Pia go above and beyond at every opportunity. The best example of this was when we asked if they could call and book a restaurant for us in town. The restaurant wasn’t answering the phone so they went their physically to try (without prompt). Easily the best service and hosts I’ve ever come across. 10/10
