We stayed at Villa Sara for two nights at the beginning of our visit to Sicily in April. We had the "Elena" room which had the most breathtaking view of Mt.Etna from our beds, no less! The room was large and beautiful, very comfortable and clean. It is a bit of a walk from the main street, but we didn't... More

Elana was a wonderful lady and had her family pictures (which I love to see) on display in th breakfast room which was fantastic sitting facing the window with her best china looking at Mt. Etna. Couldn't be better. The room was clean and big with a fantastic deck and view of the town below. We parked on the street... More

We stayed as a family in the "Casa Sara" apartment at Villa Sara--same home, just on the lower level with two bedrooms, two baths a kitchen and patio outdoors. Same great view of Mt. Etna and the Ionian sea. We paid 2.50 Euro extra per person per day to have breakfast included upstairs at the B&B which was worth it.... More

The villa probably dates back to the twenties and the furniture in the rooms is lovely 'family' furniture. Very clean. We had a wonderful balcony with a view of Etna. The owners have a garage for parking at 5 euros a day. 10 minutes walk down into Taormina (don't worry plentiful, cheap taxis back up!). The 'salty' breakfast of scrambled... More

We stayed here the beginning of March and had the large room at the end of the hall, the "Elena" room, I believe. The room was awesome - large, clean, and nicely furnished with some antiques. The huge doors open onto a balcony over looking the city and with a fantastic view of Mt. Etna. There is a small table... More

The views from our rooms at Villa Sara were spectacular! Even at nite, the twinkling city below was magical. Elena was a charming hostess; she even cooked eggs for us. The breakfast room overlooks the city; we wanted to sit much longer to enjoy the view. The rooms were spacious, the bathrooms a good size, especially the one at the... More

This was the best place we stayed on our trip to Sicily. Elena the hostess is very welcoming and does a wonderful breakfast. She also offers eggs, cheese etc which made a good change after days of slightly stale pastries elsewhere! The view from the terrace has to be seen to be believed and sitting there at sunset with a... More

Villa Sara's location offers a magnificent view of the sea and Mount Etna. We stayed at the appartment but the Villa is as well a B&B. The owner was gracious and very helpful,. The appartment was clean, and spacious. The kitchen had minimal equipment but there was a wonderful outside deck overlooking the sea. We ate dinner out there almost... More

This is a nice B&B in a lovely building at the top of Taormina. The views are fantastic especially from the lovely room where you have breakfast. The lady who runs the B&B is also really sweet and helpful. But I have to say I was a bit disappointed with our room based on the pictures I had seen on... More

We are a family of four with two teenagers and stayed at this B&B for three nights in early August. From the bus depot we took a taxi to the house up in the hills arriving in the dark. The very sweet and charming Signora Elena who runs the place was there to greet and show us to our two... More
