Feels like home. Very polite, easy going and helpful staff. Nice room- attic with facilities, cleaning everyday.Sleeping with the sound of crossing train was so relaxing. Also, the best handmade breakfasts, with big variety -every morning was a surprise. Thank you all Sanny, Pangrazio e Cincia! Cant wait to return for collecting new memories 🥰

We stayed at the guesthouse for 3 nights and everything was fine. The room is super cosy with a little kitchenette to prepare some food if you want to. The hosts were very responsive and always reachable. We only met one of the hosts in person, but he was very friendly and gave us local recommendations for restaurants. Due to planned trips we couldn’t make it to breakfast twice, but the hosts offered us to prepare some sandwiches for take away. We really appreciated this gesture. Restaurants / beach are in walking distance. We highly recommend the guesthouse!

Nothing. You could read in previous comments that the train is a problem. Yes, you can hear it. But it didn’t bother us. With windows closed (there is a air conditioner), it is not very noisy. Also there are no trains during the night.

We had a truly wonderful stay in Naxos, just outside Taormina, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our host was incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived. He gave us excellent recommendations for local restaurants and helped us figure out the easiest and most efficient way to reach Taormina. He was also very attentive to our needs and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The breakfast was absolutely delicious — compliments to his wife, who prepared everything with such care. We honestly felt like we were visiting family rather than staying at a guesthouse. It was such a warm and heartfelt experience, and we would love to return next time we visit Sicily. Highly recommended!

What’s there not to like?

The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive — truly made us feel at home. The house and our room were absolutely stunning, beautifully designed and spotless. Breakfast was Italian-style — simple but fresh and delicious. Within walking distance, you’ll find a variety of beaches (both public and private), a charming little port where you can rent boats, and plenty of great restaurants to explore. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing and well-rounded coastal getaway.

The location is a bit far from the city center, but it’s very close to the beach, which was perfect for us. Getting to the center is easy by taxi, so it wasn’t a problem at all.

Charming and family friendly accommodation offering a very enjoyable stay in a pleasant and calming environment. The location is excellent, close to the waterfront and some good restaurants, and actually quite close to Taormina and the train station. The place is easy to find and if you arrive by car, parking is possible in the property's garage for a surcharge of €8/day. The rooms are located on upper floors, so be prepared to climb a couple of flights of stairs. Our room was facing the railroad track, but the noise from the passing trains is well isolated and it didn't bother us. The rooms are well appointed, clean and cosy. The stylish furnishing and decor also help to create positive vibe and ambience. The hosts were very kind, attentive and friendly and made us feel really welcome. The breakfast, prepared each day fresh by the hosts, was plentiful and varied. We were offered coffee for breakfast, but we missed the opportunity to prepare our own coffee, as there was no kettle or coffee machine in the room. Also, the wifi connection was not very stable. Other than that, everything was great during our stay and we appreciate the hospitality of the hosts. Thank you!

The place is very cute and intimate and the host makes you feel so welcome. Everything was clean and in perfect shape. And they arranged breakfast for us earlier when we asked. Thanks for that! The location is well located, everything is walkable like the train station, the port, beaches. Even Taormina if you like walks. Also bus for Taormina is right in front of the property, but Naxos was way better for us.

As stated in other comments, noices from the train can be heard, but they can be removed from the equation as everything else is great. If you travel in the first days of september, they celebrate something and nearby you will have some music and fireworks that end after midnight. But this again, is not a minus for the property. Just an advice to do your research if you seek for silence at night.

Very friendly hosts – kind and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious ! Owners take great care of cleanliness and decor throughout the entire house. They really care about their guests. The location is great – very close to the beach, the train station, and very close to the most beautiful town I’ve ever seen: Taormina. I highly recommend staying at Invito al viaggio. If I were in that area again, I would definitely stay there again

Delicious breakfast every morning. The breakfast was a bit different every day so we had a lot of choice and food to try out. There was a local shop near, lot of restaurants and a coffee shop. The beach was 2 minutes walking distance. The staff was amazing, they made us feel at home :) . Pancrazio is incredibly nice, he always advised us what we could visit in the area and helped whenever we needed. We also had daily cleaning and towel change every other day. There is also a bus stop nearby from which you can get to the center of Taormina for 1.90 euros, the airport for 6 euros or other tourist destinations.

I can't complain. Everything was without a hitch. We will definitely be happy to come back :)

The room was even better than expected for the three of us, with a good amount of space, being very clean and comfortable. The balcony was the perfect addition. The owners are so lovely, and the breakfast is a highlight with something new and delicious every morning! The train and Bus stops are very close, within walking distance. Very good selection of restaurants and bars nearby at the beachfront. The beach is a 2-minute walk from the B&B.

Everything here was way above our expectations, a true 'hidden gem' this place is. Everything is decorated with fine taste, the rooms are wonderful with everything you can hope for and one of the rooms had the most wonderful little private garden. For our two rooms we had a living room and a terrace to spend the evenings. The breakfast room makes you feel like home and it also has the most amazing terrace where you can it their delicious breakfast while sunbathing - what more can you ask for?? Oh, i forgot to mention the breakfast which is AMAZING! Everything you need to get you started! The place is right next to the seaside, there's a wonderful restaurant nearby and bus stations to take you everywhere you want. Oh, and also a train station nearby! Although the train passes by close, it's rare and not disturbing, for the people who felt really disturbed by it - i wish you good and keep your sanity :) There is also a private parking spot available for a small fee, and you get to keep your rental safe in a closed garage! You will want to reserve it, because there are not many spots available on the street and why risk it? You're on vacation. As for our dear hosts, Sanny e Pancrazio - we only stayed for three nights but i swear you won't meet any nicer, warmer and welcoming people - again, thanks a million for having us into your amazing home! I wish you all the best and hope to see you again soon!

Cross my heart, I cannot find a single bad thing to say about this accomodation. It exceeded all our expectations - there were 4 of us and all amazed by this small family business and the amount of work they put in to make you feel like a king.
