Casa Cifali

This place will definitely be my go-to place when I return to Taormina. It was perfect (for me) in every sense of the word. Massimo and Dawn were the most pleasant, friendly and accommodating people that you could ask for. Do yourself a favor and stay there when you’re in Taormina.

This very boutique property is perfectly situated for walking everywhere in Taromina. The owners are very nice. So helpful, they even gave us a list of useful tips and dining. The rooms are not large and don’t expect a view, but for the price an excellent option. Breakfast was somewhat limited but the fruit was deliciously ripe and the croissants were freshly baked. I will be back.

We were given the most excellent breakfasts each morning by the hosts. The bed and room were very comfortable. Most importantly the location is excellent. Very close to the old town, but far enough away to be quiet at night. The B&B has been the best on our 3 week trip in Italy. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Everything is perfect, especially the staff, who are informative and friendly; immediately made us feel at home upon arrival. When we requested an one-night extension but they had fully booked, they kindly introduce to, and made arrangement for us, to stay with another B&B in their neighborhoods. We can’t wait to revisit Taormina and this homelike place.

Lovely couple who is so very helpful and kind. Upon arrival I was given a list of recommended restaurants and places of interest. The breakfast was very nice and was given daily festivities around the town. B&B very close to Corso Umberto the Main Street. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at this bed and breakfast. The location was absolutely incredible and made our visit even more special. The property was spotless and very well maintained, which we really appreciated. Most of all, the hosts were absolutely incredible—welcoming, kind, and extremely helpful with anything we needed. We truly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return or recommend this place to others.

Excellent location and lovely hosts who offer a very good breakfast. The courtyard at the front of the house it wonderfu!

Dawn and Massimo were exceptional, kind and helpful hosts - they really looked after us during our stay. Location was outstanding, albeit a tad loud at night and early morning, but that's a small price to pay for how amazing the location and place is!

The property was very clean, quiet and close to many restaurants and shops. Dawn and Massimo were amazing hosts, they are very welcoming and helpful with transportation and giving good recommendations where to eat, etc. The breakfast on the patio is beautiful. It’s the perfect place to stay and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. I give this place a 10 out of 10.

Location was great. Staff were very helpful and accommodating

The couple running casa cifali is super lovely and accommodating. The room was clean and comfortable. One thing to be aware of, it’s not allowed to eat in the room. If you’re travelling for business or plan to have calm evening nights in the room, this might not be the best option.

Lovely recent stay at Casa Cifali. So close to the centre of Taormina, yet on a quiet street. Very comfortable, clean room. Nice breakfast (first time trying pistachio cheese, will have to try and find it in the UK!) Communication prior and during my stay was excellent. Thank you to Dawn and Massimo for their help and hospitality. Supported in booking a taxi for me as I had a very early morning train and provided me with breakfast for my journey. Good recommendations given throughout my stay. Much appreciated and wishing you continued success with a Casa Cifali!

Nice, clean simple room. Wonderful location in town very quiet. Is at street level with pleasant courtyard. Hosts are very personable and knowledgable, shared local insite and Sicilian history.

Splendid location in the centre of Taormina with good access to explore all the wonderful things on offer expertly assisted with the help of the owners Dawn and Massimo who are on hand to help in any way and you’ll be spoiled with their fantastic continental breakfast

I booked this B & B without knowing anything about it. It exceeded my expectations in every aspect. I would not hesitate to recommend staying here. In fact I ready have to friends coming to Taormina later in the year.

Très bien situé. Propriétaire Très chaleureux. Je le recommande sans hésitation

The owners are very helpful and friendly. They provided dinning recommendations along with tips to enjoy the area. The room was clean and quiet and a good size.

Great hosts & breakfast. 3 course dinner by the Italian chef was fabulous!

Credit goes to my wife for finding this gem of a B&B. It's difficult to find everything you want at a good price, but Dawn and Massimo exceeded every expectation, creating a truly personal experience. I've stayed in many B&Bs, but none with this level of genuine care. They are laid-back, down-to-earth, and make you feel at home while maintaining professionalism and offering a wealth of knowledge about Taormina. We received check-in details before our trip, and any questions were met with quick, helpful, and friendly responses, including advice on transfers. Our room was beautifully decorated, spacious, spotlessly clean, and maintained daily, with fresh linen every three days. Breakfast was plentiful, with fresh croissants, eggs, rolls, fruit, local cheeses, yoghurt, and coffee. The B&B has a few rooms and a communal kitchen where Dawn and Massimo prepare breakfast. Guests can also use facilities like a chilled, filtered water machine—a big plus on hot days. Upon arrival, we received detailed information about where to eat, what to see, and transport links, reflecting Dawn and Massimo's travel experience. Their passion for hosting and understanding guests' needs truly sets this place apart. The Sicilian dinner on the terrace sounded wonderful. We didn’t budget for it this time, but we’ll definitely return to experience it. Thank you, Dawn and Massimo, for bringing heart to our trip to Taormina. We can’t wait to stay with you again.

What an absolutely lovely stay we had at B&B Casa Cifali. You can't beat the location, warmth of the owners and overall very comfortable stay. It was perfect!
