This is a charming B&B with stunning view on the Etna and the sea. Our room was big, clean and comfortable. The landlady, Carmen, is really friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was very good with home-backed cakes which we appreciated a lot! The only negative aspect, if you have a car, is that you have to through Taormina, which can... More

This is one of the best places I have ever stayed at!!! The building has a breathtaking panorama not only to the beach and seeside but also to the Etna! The room is actually a very comfortable apartment with a hall, a master bedroom and a "guest room" plus the huge terrace and of course the bathroom. The landlady, Carmen... More

This B&B is a little distance out of town and yes it is all up a very steep hill. Not a problem though as your charming host Carmen is happy to drive you with reasonable notice. The walk is plesant if you are reasonably fit as you wind your way through the residences to arrive in the lovely village. The... More

I stayed here for two nights in Sept 2011 in the downstairs apartment. While Villa Barone was a nice place to stay and the staff were unfailingly helpful, this room is definitely not luxurious by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps the upstairs rooms were better. On the plus side, the breakfast was wonderful, Carmen was very helpful and full... More

What a lovely place to stay. The view across to Mount Etna was exceptional and the night lights in Giardini-Naxos bay very pretty. Villa Barone is exceptionally clean and well appointed. Carmen was the perfect hostess, full of suggestions as to where to visit and how we might get there; she also provided a lovely varied continental breakfast each morning.... More

We thought Villa Barone was a wonderful place to stay. Looking at the positives it was really clean, very pleasant rooms, great views and Carmen was a wonderful host. She gave us suggestions of where to go, how to get there and was generally very pleasant & helpful. If I were to mention a couple of negatives then there are... More

The rooms were beautifully decorated and appointed. The views were beautiful, but then, the views are beautiful everywhere in that area. When we arrived we were told that there was no shuttle service. It was not recommended we drive because traffic and parking are a big problem. The bus runs very infrequently. Carmen gave us directions-- go to the pink... More
