Casa Cuseni has the most stunning setting above Taormina, looking out over the sea and Etna. The view from the balcony outside the bedroom is so wonderful that one is hardly tempted to go anywhere else - except perhaps to wander in the beautiful, terraced garden which extends round the house in all directions, or to have an excellent breakfast...

Read Daphne Phelps' book, A House in Sicily, before you go, then go! Amazing house, gardens, view of Etna (it erupted while we were there). We were in the Daphne Phelps room, which is huge with a lovely shared terrace. Mimma and Francesco couldn't be more helpful and charming. The location is great, close to one of the walking paths...

How do you thank a family that shares it's treasure house, family traditions and love of Sicily with such passion? Not only do they share the history, paintings, 1st addition books, pictures of famous guest and treasures you will see no where else with you, but they share true love of people. Breakfast is a fun time to gather with... More

We had the priviledge (yes, it really feels like a priviledge!) of staying at Casa Cuseni in early April 2013. The place is stunning and filled with cultural history. In fact it's one the most memorable hotels / B&Bs I've ever stayed at. A beautiful villa high up on the hill overlooking Taormina and the bay of Naxos. We had... More

This place is much nicer that what we had in mind. We stayed there end of February. This is one of the most interesting place I've been to. This place should be much more expensive. I don't think you need to be into arts to appreciate this place but if you are, then you have to go there. It's just... More

The Casa Cuseni is a lovely chateau located just above Taormina, an easy walk from town and set into a hillside with sweeping views of the city and of Mt Etna. Morning is nowhere more glorious than from the balconies of this hotel - it is just amazing. It is tricky to find: the gate is on the lower bend... More

We spent a week in Taormina in October at Casa Cuseni, a place well known to our family and one we had waited years to visit. Originally built in the early part of the century by British watercolorist Robert Kitson, Casa Cuseni provides a stunning vantage point above the main part of town with glorious views of the sea, Mt...

Casa Cuseni was the highlight of our Sicily trip. A beautiful place, unmatchable views, lovely hosts and in a great spot. 100% recommendation. Breakfast was lovely and we got a great run through of the really fascinating history of the B&B. Wonderful
