Maison Blanche Taormina

Where can I start, location location is top. The view is phenomenal, the room is big and very comfy. We were offered to check in early which was a true bonus. Breakfast is true home made Sicilian. Everything about the place and staff was 10/10

Zero

Sensationelle Lage und die Gastgeberin war sehr zuvorkommend.

Die Unterkunft ist super, jedoch die Zimmer sehr renovationsbedürftig. Für den Preis darf man mehr vorfinden in besserem Zustand.

Our room had the most gorgeous view of Isola Bella! The breakfast was wonderful and Giovanna and her husband were so kind and gracious and welcoming. They treated us like family! She was extremely helpful and helped us find private drivers as well. The property was so charming and we loved getting to know Giovanna and her husband. And Taormina was incredible!

We were told we could walk to Isola Bella from the hotel, but halfway down the road we were scared to go any farther because there was no shoulder on the road and it felt very unsafe with speeding cars coming around curves. We called Giovanna and she sent a taxi to pick us up. Next time we would just pay for the ride!

Giovanna was amazing. The property itself is stunning and so close to walk to the main centre. I don’t mind some stairs so for me, it was easy. The breakfast was great, they catered to everything you may need. Highly recommend staying here.

Amazing view and breackfast!

You can hear the other guests in their room next door but I think this is normal

We came for our honeymoon and enjoyed the facility very much. The host is super nice and welcoming, The room was small but exactly what we needed, the private balcony with the amazing view was a huge bonus. We had parking at the property and the breakfast was above our expectations (so much variety and lots of options)

The bed and pillows were a bit too soft for our taste

The sea view was stunning and it was advantage to have a parking space. The room was very basic and definitely not luxury as it is stating. The walk to town was up the hill and long and buses didn’t stop next to the house and we tried few times. Breakfast was good but I felt watched by the staff every minute which didn’t allow me to just relax and have nice breakfast.

The host was way too overzealous which made us uncomfortable, especially while trying to sell handbags. We also had an incident on check out day - they start playing very loud music in our room before our alarm and it felt like they wanted to get rid of us as quick as possible.

Take the Taormina bus from Giardini Naxos train station to Maison Blanche bus stop which is immediately outside the property. Buses run uphill to town and downhill to Giardini, Catania or in the other direction to Isola Bella beach. We had a warm welcome from our fantastic host Giovanna who offered us a welcome drink of Prosecco. Our room was spacious, with good air conditioning, Wi-Fi, complimentary bottled water in the fridge replaced each day - and like all the rooms had a private terrace with breathtaking views out to sea (the sunrise over Isola Bella was particularly impressive - see photo). Breakfast was fantastic with lots of fresh fruit and pastries as well as eggs cooked to order and served with those same amazing views as from the terrace. Giovanna was such a nice and helpful host.

There was nothing to dislike about the property. It should be noted that all of Taormina is on a steep hill, so if you decide not to take the bus into town it is a vigorous and hot walk with lots of steps - or an unbelievably expensive taxi.

The room was perfect, I had a private terrace with an amazing view, the location is great if you want to go to center Taormina

Nothing

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Taormina. Giovanna war eine erstklassige Gastgeberin und das ebenso tolle Reinigungspersonal sorgten für eine rundum angenehme Atmosphäre. Besonders beeindruckend waren die spektakuläre Aussicht und das fantastische Frühstück. Hier stimmt einfach alles! Wir können die Unterkunft absolut empfehlen!

We stayed here in June and it was easily one of the nicest places I have stayed. The most amazing views, spacious accommodation and fabulous hospitality. Giovanna is an exceptional hostess and nothing is too much bother. I will definatley return to this wonderful place

Vista mozzafiato! La Sig.ra Giovanna gentilissima. Colazione top e con fermata dell'autobus adiacente al BeB. Lo consiglio vivamente

It was like walking into heaven. The room was spacious and comfortable. The View from the balcony was absolutely breathtaking. The owner and the staff couldn't be any nicer. I loved everything about it.

Amazing views, air con throughout, room had a private balcony with sun loungers, host was really great and booked everything for us, bus stop right outside, no car required as we were picked up for trips to the beach club and excursion to Mount Etna. Toarmina was walkable but the bus was easier and they came every 5-10 mins. Slightly out of town centre which was great as really quiet and peaceful but close enough to get there easily. Lovely breakfast with fresh fruit and eggs to order.

Nothing

Views...incredible. Host wonderful. Comfortable and clean. Breakfast fabulous. Short walk to town...bus out the front.

Nothing.

Struttura splendida, con una vista impareggiabile su Isola Bella. Camera elegante, molto pulita e con una terrazza spettacolare. Colazione eccellente e un’ospitalità davvero rara: discrezione, attenzione ai dettagli e consigli perfetti su ristoranti e luoghi da visitare. Ci siamo sentiti come se avessimo questa meravigliosa villa tutta per noi. Un ringraziamento particolare anche per la disponibilità dimostrata alla partenza: siamo stati accompagnati fino a Catania e, con una gentilezza fuori dal comune, si sono persino assicurati che trovassimo il posto giusto dove attendere il trasferimento in aeroporto.

Nulla. È stato un soggiorno perfetto.

La vista es espectacular. La habitación inmejorable con terraza y todas las comodidades

Loved everything about this place. The view is the best I ever experienced. The owners and staff are fantastic, they can’t do enough for you. They organised restaurant bookings with great recommendations , a day at a beach club, made a fabulous breakfast every day and arranged our transport for the airport and back to Catania when we were going to stay there. The cleanliness is perfect and we also loved Bart the dog. There is a manageable but tough walk in the heat up steps into the town, it’s ok on the way back so bear that in mind if you don’t like walking but there is a bus stop right outside so it’s pretty easy to get around. Driving and parking in Taormina is horrendous so we found it easy enough to walk when we were going out at night. If you get the opportunity to visit the stunning city of Taormina don’t look anywhere else. This place is absolutely first rate in every way and a fraction of the cost of some of the lovely yet hugely overpriced large hotels. We would love to return one day, thank you for having us. Andrew & Jana.

Absolutely nothing. Would return in a heartbeat

We had the most wonderful stay at Maison Blanche. We came here straight after our wedding in Palermo for our honeymoon, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect place to unwind and celebrate. The rooms are absolutely stunning, beautifully designed and impeccably maintained, and the views are simply breathtaking. Waking up to that view every morning was a highlight of our trip. What truly made our stay exceptional, however, was our host, Giovanna. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience, helping us with restaurant recommendations, bookings, transport and local advice throughout our stay. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her warmth and genuine care made us feel so welcome. Thank you, Giovanna, for making our stay so special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Maison Blanche without hesitation to anyone visiting Taormina.

Nothing. Everything was perfect!

Beautiful house, with a view down to the coast and across the sea.

Maison Blanche was located a short walk or bus ride from the mountain town of Taormina. Maybe 15 minutes walk with some steps up there and down on the way back but It was very convenient. The bus stop was about ten metres away. Giovanna was a lovely host who prepared a wonderful breakfast. The eggs were so good and you couldnt want for more!! The view from our room was drop dead gorgeous! especially with the full moon. Our private deck was a lovely place to sit after a night out in the town and there was also a large lounge were you could sit inside. There is no need to use your car once at the hotel and this was very important we realised after visiting the town as you wouldnt be able to park anywhere. This is a very nice place to stay whilst in Taormina.

It was all great

Maison Blanche Taormino is one of the best places we have ever stayed at. Absolutely five stars.Beautiful views of the ocean with fabulous rooms. Giovanna was one of the most accommodating hosts we have ever had Nothing was to much for her to do for us We will be back

warm and nice welcome by the patronesse, Giovanna, made us feel like home immediately. After a welcome drink she gave us top recommendations where to find nice restaurants. the hotel is located on the way to the beach of Taormina and offering a stunning view over the bay.

La vue est fantastique, le petit déjeuner exceptionnel

The house is luxury, the cleaness is phenomenal, the view is amazing and the location is wonderful close to isola bella we can go walking and to duomo walking or by bus. Bus station is right at the villa, the vost Giovanna is one of her kind she made us feel home at home so caring attentive to details and very generous

Nothing everything was wonderful

Amazing breakfast and lovely host!

Die Lage vom Maison Blanche Taormina ist wirklich sehr schön, mit tollem Blick aufs Meer und die Stadt ist gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Besonders positiv sind die sehr netten und zuvorkommenden Gastgeber sowie der vorhandene Parkplatz, was in Taormina ein großer Vorteil ist. Die Unterkunft hat jedoch einen Renovierungsrückstau und wirkt teilweise etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Auch das Frühstück war eher einfach und täglich nahezu identisch. Als „luxuriös“ würde ich die Unterkunft persönlich daher nicht bezeichnen. Insgesamt aber eine angenehme Unterkunft mit hervorragender Lage und herzlichem Service.

Jeden Tag das gleiche Frühstück (Wurst Käse ) nichts besonderes einfache Qualität.

Sehr nett und zuvorkommend

The views were great and so was the breakfasts. Parking was good and on the property. We were very welcomed and felt very well taken care of. We had a down stairs room the would be better for younger couples. There wasn't a desk to do my work and planning. We would have liked to have another comforter and should of asked.

Really enjoyed our stay here, the perfect hosts who couldn’t go enough for you. Amazing breakfast included, short walk to the beach or the town!

Très bel emplacement. Une vue à couper le souffle sur Isola Bella. Petit déjeuner complet. Giovanna est vraiment remplie d'attention.

La vista desde la habitación era Increíble para quedarse y no moverse. La atencion de Giovanna y Francesco fue barbara todo el tiempo tratando de que nos sintamos como en casa. Ubicada cerca de la playa y cerca del Centro de la ciudad. El desayuno riquísimo todo funciono perfectamente!

Nada

Die Lage mit uneingeschränkter Sicht auf das Meer ist grossartig. Etwas ausserhalb vom Zentrum gelegen, mit guter Anbindung des öffentlichen Nahverkehrs. Bushaltestelle nur einige Schritte entfernt. Sehr netter und schnell ablaufender Empfang. Gutes Frühstück.

Es gab keine Möglichkeit, abends vor dem Schlafengehen noch etwas zu trinken. Ein Kühlschrank mit einigen Getränken in Selbstbedienung hätten wir sehr geschätzt.

Super friendly owners who gave us all information necessary about excursions, restaurants, etc. Spectacular view. Lovely breakfast.

Fabulous views over Isola Bella. Attractive, clean property. Lovely staff.

The location is not perfect as far as getting to the beach or the town is concerned. You need to use the bus. Walking is possible but it’s steep especially in the heat.

Nette Gastgeber, Francesco gab uns gleich zu Beginn sehr gute Informationen zu Taormina mit Restauranttipps, Giovanna hat sich um Reservierungen gekümmert. Tolle Lage mit Blick auf Isola Bella, Ort zu Fuß erreichbar (mit steile Treppenaufstieg).

WLAN schlecht bzw. teilweise ganz ausgefallen

Gorgeous house and views. Breakfast was plentiful, fresh and nutritious. Nothing was too much trouble. Giovanna, her husband and staff were wonderful hosts. Giovanna went out of her way to book tours, make reservations, organise car hire and airport transfers for us. It all made for a wonderfully relaxing and fun holiday!

We should have upgraded our room to get a sea view from bed

Emplacement

Faire payer 2 e la petite bouteille d eau est vraiment pas du tout acceptable

La meravigliosa vista dalla camera e la gentilezza della signora Giovanna

Nulla

We stayed two nights at Maison Blanche and everything was simply wonderful. Giovanna welcomed us like long-awaited guests and made us feel at home from the very first moment, not only at the B&B but also in Taormina, thanks to her great recommendations on how to get around (a very convenient 10-minute uphill walk via stairs), where to eat, and what to see. The room was perfect: bright, spotless, cozy, and with an absolutely amazing view, and the breakfasts were delicious. What I especially loved is that the place is filled with antique furniture, which gives it a sense of family history and makes it feel like something much more special than just a B&B. We truly wished we could have stayed longer!

Everything was superb.

L’emplacement magnifique, la spontanéité et la gentillesse de la propriétaire, sa façon très carrée de gérer ses hôtes.

La rapport qualité prix qui peut sembler un peu élevé mais justifié sans doute par rapport à l’emplacement . Mais la veille avons dormi dans un palais aux prestations top à Noto avec un petit déjeuner en terrasse dont on se souviendra longtemps … et pour un prix moindre

The views from the property are the best you can have. We woke up with beautiful sunrise views from our bed. Giovana our host is a kind and generous lady. Always available and happy to help. She organised our special requirements for our breakfast. If we visit sicily again we ll surely stay here

Missed having body lotion as part of the toiletries. but not a big one. There was nothing to not like. Would happily stay here again

Giovanna and her husband were wonderful hosts. The room was cozy and had everything we needed. Giovanna made very helpful suggestions for navigating the city. As well as restaurants and activities. She and provided the most delicious breakfast with our eggs made just the way we liked each morning. Lots of fresh fruit, pastries, meat and cheese. Special coffees made just to our taste! We felt like king and queen during our entire stay. She organized a taxi to the train station that arrived promptly and was very new and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience during our stay in Taormina!

The bed could have been a little firmer.

Firstly, Maison Blanche is in a gorgeous location with beautiful sea views and a short 10 minute walk into Taormina along the winding road for 3 minutes, then 7 minutes up a series of stairs. Not bad if you're in shape, but could be difficult if you have mobility issues. Of course, you could drive but it was much more scenic to walk. Next - Giovanna treated us like family. My husband was sick with bronchitis and barely sleeping due to coughing, so Giovanna arranged for him to see her family doctor, who prescribed medication. This was extremely helpful, and we are grateful to her for doing this. Our room was large, clean, and comfortable with a terrace for sitting outside with views of the ocean. There are very nice shades that keep the sun out in the early morning so you can sleep in if needed. Breakfast was fantastic! There was a large variety of fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs, breads, cake, and of course espresso drinks. We found two lovely restaurants in Taormina that we enjoyed: Mamma Rosa Trattoria, and Il Baccanale. The house wines were excellent at both of these, and the food was prepared perfectly. If you're a tennis player, be sure to check out the beautiful clay courts as you step off the walking path from Via S. Leo onto Via Bagnoli Croce. I would have loved to play tennis on them. We would definitely return to Maison Blanche for a longer visit. Our stay was wonderful in every way (especially the digestifs available to serve yourself in the evening).

It was a beautiful experience, Amazing location, clean and friendly owner

fantastic view, great breakfast and stunning building

shower could be hotter

Property is excellent. Well kept, clean. Exceptional facility. Well kept and fully equipped. Location is peaceful and directly open to the ocean view. We enjoyed the daily sun rise. Host is warm, welcoming and she takes care of all details to ensure guests well attended. Breakfast if exceptional and complete. Would rate a score 11 or 12 over 10.

Beautiful! amazing view and location!

Giovanna and Francesco, the wonderful hosts were incredible (can’t forget Bart, their super friendly and loving dog who loves to greet you from his gate). We booked this hotel for our honeymoon, and it was such a beautiful stay - an incredible view of the beach and surrounding areas. We were warmly greeted by the staff every single day; who had such a lovely and cheerful personality. If you’re staying in Taormina, this is the perfect accommodation! We are leaving feeling so relaxed, cared for and loved. Thank you, Giovanna, Francesco and the rest of the staff at Maison Blanche. Love from, your Australian newlyweds 🥰❤️

Excellent emplacement. Une vue splendide

Regrets de ne pas avoir une chambre vue mer

Localization

Uncomfortable bed. We were bitten

You don’t do better than this unless you spend more than twice the money. What a beautiful, well appointed place! Giovanna is amazing! You will feel your every need is met. The room we have (still here) is spectacular, spacious, crispy clean and comfortable beyond our expectations. Thick robes, slippers, lots of towels…there is even a jetted tub as well as a walk-in shower in our bathroom. Lots of light, mirrors, chairs (overstuffed and comfy.) There are shutters on every window, independently operated, so you can adjust the room to the way you like it. No matter what you are used to, I don’t think you can eat everything they offer you for breakfast! Giovanna even did our laundry! The car park is great - you can leave it within a short distance of your room. I’m sure I’m leaving out something, but you get the idea. When they say, “luxury,” they mean it.

اعجبني الاهتمام بالتفاصيل و حرص الطاقم على تلبيه احتياجاتي.

The room we had and the view is from another world. Fantastic host and delicious breakfast was a real statement

Nothing

Loved our host.

Nothing everything was great.

Das Haus bietet einen spektakulären Blick auf das Meer. Das Haus selbst ist außerordentlich geschmackvoll eingerichtet, die Hausherrin ist sehr nett, hilfsbereit und immer darum bemüht, Guten Service anzubieten. Das Frühstück ist reichlich, viel frisches Obst, Kaffee, Tee, Saft, Eier...so viel das Herz begehrt. Die Räume im Haupthaus sind sehr empfehlenswert-Große Klasse!!

Wir waren in einem kleinen Zimmer im unteren Teil des Anwesens untergebracht, mit eigener kleiner Terrasse. Wie im gesamten Haus war alles sehr sauber. Allerdings war das Zimmer so klein, dass nicht einmal ein Schrank hineingepasst hat. Der stand in einem verhältnismäßig großem Badezimmer. Kurz: der Preis für das kleine Zimmer unten ist viel zu hoch.

Quiet clean and lovely place with wonderful host and great view in Taormina away from the busy part of this hillside town. only has a few rooms so it feels like you are in a private home bonus: there is parking!. we had the white room which is spacious with a balcony with view of Isola Bella. The host Giovanna is kind and wonderful, breakfast is plentiful with eggs prepared to order every morning nice walk to the main center in Toarmina or down to the beach. we enjoyed staying here tremendously. highly recommend. (hi Barney!! <3)

Taormina, Sicily is known for its stunning vistas and what we witnessed from our cliffside room at the Maison Blanche was absolutely spectacular. Staying at this B&B turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily. And considering what other properties/hotels in Taormina charge for this million dollar view and setting, it was an absolute bargain. Giovanna was a wonderful and gracious host and the breakfast she prepared was hearty and delicious. Our room was beautiful and spacious with a private terrace and panoramic view of the Isola Bella and the Ionian Sea. The bus stop in to town runs every ten minutes or so and is right outside the property. We can't wait to go back. Highly recommended!

Fabelhafte Unterkunft mit aufmerksamen und großzügigen Hausdame/Hausherrn!

Rundum zufrieden, daher nichts zu beanstanden.

Great location and Geovanna the host was helpful, cheerful and friendly. Great breakfast - great view.

This home is beautiful with stunning views. Breakfast was generous and our host was more than accommodating, very delightful, would not hesitate to stay here again. Was a vigorous walk to "Old town" which we thoroughly enjoyed. We had a car and there was ample room to park at the residence which was an added bonus. 10 star thank you!

We could have stayed longer.....lol

L'accueil de la propriétaire a été remarquable, de même que la vue de la terrasse.

Il faut être en forme pour monter les 3 escaliers afin de se rendre au centre

The house is wonderfully located with a generosity of space that is not common. To wake up with that view makes every day special.

It’s a bit of a walk up to town, but then again being out of the hubbub is well worth the walk

La struttura è elegante e molto scenografica, con una vista pazzesca

The location was perfect for us, private parking , and amazing views. Had a delicious breakfast with many options (even included eggs cooked to order).

This bed amd breakfast was incredible - giovanna the owner is the most gracious host . Her warmth and willing to help you with every aspect of your stay is exceptional , The views are amazing , the rooms beautiful , breakfast fresh and delicious I can’t recommend this place enough -Do not hesitate to book this place !!!! Giovanna thank you for making our family vacation so perfect —and her dog Bart is adorable Would stay her again

The view is incredible! With that comes some ups and downs as far as getting to the town or beach but worst it. Giovanna was So helpful and the breakfast was excellent!

The property itself is absolutely stunning.From the moment we arrived , we were warmly welcomed by Giovanna . Stunning views , the terrace and the room are really beautiful. Here you can relax and enjoy the beauty of Sicily. The breakfast was very enjoyable. This is the kind of place you remember long after you have left . We look forward to returning in the future. Thank you so much Dear Giovanna. So thankful to you for your unforgettable hospitality. 🌹

We had an outstanding stay, the superior room has amazing views of the water and islo Isabella. The daily sightings of dolphins was a bonus. The room was spacious and well appointed. Had a magical stay!

20 minute walking up towards Taoramina shopping and restaurants was a bit much for us seniors. Lots of stairs in the dark was tough.

Todo estuvo excelente, la Sra Giogia trata a los huespedes de manera excepcional. Lo recomiendo 100% El desayuno riquisimo, la vista del mas alla.

B&B very high quality- extraordinary views. Highly recommended

The property is exceptional-must be prepared to navigate Taromina on foot or taxi or bus. Once comfortable waking is fun!!

Fabulous property with very friendly and informative hosts. Our room was very comfortable and had a fantastic 180 degree view. Be prepared to hike up the hill, or take a bus to the main parts of Taormina.

Acomodação muito confortável com ampla varanda e a melhor vista de Isola Bella. Recepção muito simpática de Giovana com direito a uma taça de Proseco.Cafe da manhã gostoso e variado em ambiente muito agradável. Com certeza me hospedaria aqui novamente.

La atención , servicio y vista

La casa es preciosa, tiene unas vistas espectaculares, y el desayuno muy bueno.

Un poco incómodo llegar al pueblo. Si no te gustan los perros, avisa a los dueños!

we had a very spacious room that was light and bright with exceptional views of both the mainland ( Calabria) and Etna. Very comfortable and delicious breakfast. Giovanna’s recommendations were excellent and she was always on hand to help.

it was quite central but it was a bit of an uphill hike to walk to centre of town but nice to return to get away from the hustle and bustle.
