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.

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!

Cozy stay in the city center of Taormina
Posted 27 Jul 2024 on HotelsDawn and Massimo were very friendly and helped us to organize the transport on the date of our arrival and departure.
The location is excelent, as it is close to the inner city and the theatre.
The room was good for two persons, the shower could have been a bit more spacecious. Casa Cifali also provides the opportunity to buy local wine, which is great if you don't want to leave the room in the late evening anymore.
We did not take advantage of the breakfast very often, as we wanted to try out many different local shops. Moreover, casa cifali only offered instant coffee, which is sadly not sufficient for coffee lovers.
Overall, our stay there was very pleasent & especially when taking the price into account we can recommend this place to anyone traveling on a low budget.
If we ever go to Taormina again, Casa Cifali is where we would want to stay at.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We're happy you enjoyed your stay. We wish you could have joined us for breakfast, we always had fresh baked croissants, home-made jam, eggs, fresh fruit, yogurt and local cheeses available for you. And while there is tea and instant coffee available for our guests 24/7, during the breakfast service we always have freshly brewed espresso and cappuccino available made to order. Based on our guests comments, our coffee if one of the things they love most about breakfast at Casa Cifali.

Lovely place in an amazing location in beautiful Taormina - easy to walk everywhere. Dawn and Massimo are super friendly and perfect hosts, with recommendations not just for the local area, but other places in Sicily too.
Felt right at home and highly recommend Casa Cifali, will definitely be staying here again next time I’m in Taormina.

Dawn and Massimo were both very welcoming and informative about Taormina and what to do. The room was large and the property had a very pretty terrace. Everything within town was walkable, therefore location was excellent.

Lovely place to stay
Posted 26 Mar 2023 on HotelsThe accommodation is on a quiet street tucked away close to the centre of Taormina. Excellent information prior to our arrival and Dawn was on hand to greet me. A list of suggested places to eat and drink was provided along with a map which was handy to help us find out way around the town. My room was clean and modern and I slept well both nights. A tasty breakfast is provided to set you up for the day. A lovely place to stay.
