We discovered this place on the internet and took a chance. The price was the most reasonable in the heart of Taormina. We contacted the owner, Isabella, who took us under her wing for our entire stay. Isabella was very responsive to our questions about the property. We stayed in one of her B&B rooms. She also rents apartments across a gorgeous courtyard, which all guests are welcome to use. Despite the property being in the heart of the city, this property is surprisingly quiet. Throughout our stay Isabella was constantly concerned with our comfort and satisfaction with her property. The newly renovated rooms were very large, as were the bathrooms. The refrigerator was fully stocked with drinks and, unlike 4 and 5 star hotels, the drinks were complementary. The woman serving breakfast was delightful. She asked us for any breakfast special requests and she too sincerely wanted our stay to be memorable. I also want to mention that Isabella was so committed to our satisfaction with our stay. When we departed we had a problem getting our car from the parking garage below the city. We called Isabella for help because the garage was overcharging us. After speaking with the garage attendant, she couldn’t resolve the issue over the phone. 5 minutes later Isabella had taken a bus down to the garage where she resolved our parking issue. I can’t wait to come back to Taormina and stay at Villa Valverde!
