Nice place but in à middle of nowhere. Road to get there not easy. Always need the car to go for dinner. At the arriving, our host was ok but she seems to be in a rush to give us the détails of the place and on the explanation of the Map to see around. It was very clean and the pool is nice !

A wonderful place to stay if you are visiting Taormina. We had trouble finding it because the address is not in Waze, but ones we found it it was worth all the troubles. We put the location in Waze, so future guest should have no trouble finding it.

Challenging drive up to the property but we’ll worth it. Amazing views and only 5-10 minute drive to Taormina. Lovely staff, special thanks to Lori for the ‘welcome’ drinks 😋

Sciccosa Guest house is a beautiful property located high up on the hill overlooking Taormina-Giardina. Staff are attentive, clean rooms, amazing view. Great to stay if you have your own car, as cost is 15-20 euro for each trip to beach or town of Taormina.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Sciccosa Guest House. We were greeted warmly with a welcome drink and snacks, were able to leave our bags and head to town as our room wasn’t ready yet and found them safely in our room when we returned. The Infiniti pool feels private with the most beautiful view. Breakfast was delicious and coffee was soo good! If you aren’t driving yourself- a taxi to Taormina did cost 20 Euro one way, so can get pricey coming and going. But I still think worth it to stay!

My family and I just got back from the Sciccosa Guest House twelve of us (from the 28th July to the 30th July 2019) for a family wedding in Taormina twelve of us. The accommodation is beautiful very clean and well maintained. The staff was brilliant , very nice people ,very accommodating nothing was to much trouble for the staff would definitely definitely recommend this accommodation. To go into town it’s about a 12min ride for 20€ Three of us went on a quad biking tour Tao Quad recommend by the accommodation by Simoné at Siccosa thank you, it was brilliant the scenery was exquisite highly recommend. Thank you x I stayed in room one.

The staff and facilities are top class. Great views, gorgeous pool. The location was not good for us. You have to drive every day. Can’t walk to anything. This doesn’t suit us. Next time we would stay down in Guardia Naxos. But if you don’t mind this it is perfect.

Small hotel with very friendly staff; from the moment we arrived until we left. Room very clean and had great views. Pool was relaxing area. Breakfasts were good (limited cooked if that’s what you wanted but fine for us). Light lunches available at a decent price (not usual hotel extortion!)

This place is great
I don't usually write reviews but felt compelled to as we had such a great time stopping here, we stayed for 3 nights and it was amazing. The room and bathroom were lovely and tastefully decorated, the view from the balcony was great, the swimming pool is superb, the breakfast was tasty and the people at the guest house are amazing very friendly and helpful. Mario saved me a small fortune in parking by advising me where to park, thanks Mario.

Great guesthouse
A very nice guest house, with a good pool. Would strongly recommend staying here. It was clean, modern and good breakfast with very pleasant and helpful staff. Only downside is the slight distance from Taormina centre, which means a car/taxi is necessary.

The Absolute Best in Taormina
My husband and I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The rooms are modern, super chic with a very comfortable bed, cold ac, and a great shower. We have traveled all through Italy (many times) and I'd say this was the best place we have stayed at because of the amazing customer service. Mario, Giorgia, Andre, etc went above and beyond to make our stay the best. This hotel is very peaceful with amazing views. Complementary breakfast was delicious too. They even packed us a to-go breakfast to take on the road for our early day excursion to the Aeolian islands. I highly recommend Sciccosa Guest House when visiting Taormina ❤️

Exceptional accommodation. Rooms are completed to the highest specification. Views are breath taking from the guest house. Road up isn't great...but well worth it when you get there! Breakfast was lovely, all fresh and lovely presented. Infinity pool was great. I have never stayed anywhere before that the staff have been so attentive, literally nothing was too much trouble for them. Naomi, Georgia & Mario....you made our stay wonderful, thank you!

Great stay in Sciccosa
An amazing villa on the outskirts of Taormina, a perfect choice for those who want to be a bit far from the noisy city streets full of tourists. Short driving distance to the city center and the beach area. B&B staff is extremely helpful. Very good breakfast, great view from the room's windows. Highly recommended for a stay in Taormina.

Outstanding accommodation
Amazing accommodation with fantastic view from all rooms. Staff were very friendly. However not a place if you don't like heights as there are a number of hairpins and tight corners to negotiate on the way up to the accommodation but it is well worth it. Lovely swimming pool and breakfast terrace. in one word 'Outstanding',

Exceeded Expectations
The guest house was Amazing; the views, amenities and service were above expectations. The ONLY Issue we had was finding the guesthouse. Definitely do Not rely on your navigation system as it will put you on a very narrow gravel road and require you to ford a river in your car. It did make for a great story!!! Please go to this spectacular guest house!

Superb Service
Hotel is fairly new with high quality furniture and fittings. Breakfast excellent, particularly enjoyed the freshly made scrambled egg with accompanying caponata and the freshly squeezed Sicilian blood orange juice. Simone and her cousin were extremely helpful in providing directions and recommendations.

Hidden gem
Private family run hotel which catered perfectly for our requirements. The hotel is newly opened and not so easy to find, the location being on a hillside with amazing views but it was all worth the effort and our stay there could not have been better! Excellent recommendations for local places to eat.
