We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Sciara Larmisi and would 100% recommend! The host was fantastic, excellent communication prior to arrival with clear details on how to check in out of hours, breakfast was lovely and if the weather allows, absolutely make sure you enjoy it on the rooftop terrace! The B&B is spotlessly clean and staff and room was very comfortable. Location is excellent too, within 1 minute walk to bus stops for the airport shuttle and main square and via Etnea are only a short walk away too.

Great spot, lovely pool and views, clean apartment. Everything in Taormina is uphill - this was no exception. This was about a 20 min uphill walk on stairs in good order to Taormina and about a 20 min walk downhill on some fairly overgrown stairs to the beach. But the quiet of the location was definitly part of the charm.

This was a lovely small hotel/b&b. We had a warm greeting. The room was spacious and had what we needed. The breakfast terrace was lovely. The buffet was nice and I liked that I could help myself to coffee. My only negative wasn’t really the hotel’s fault - Expedia flagged it as including free parking which was a big factor in choosing it. Unfortunately the free parking was on the street and not belonging to hotel. We did find some fairly nearby on arrival and right outside the hotel by the evening. So it wasn’t really a problem just misleading of Expedia’s site. Very happy to recommend this as a good choice for exploring Catania.

This is definitely more of an apartment rental than a hotel rental. The space is laid out well with plenty of the space, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. However, the AC doesn’t work. The AC was turned on, but it was still 80 degrees in the room, which made it impossible to sleep. Since it’s an apartment rental instead of a true hotel, when I gave up on attempting to sleep due to the heat at 4am, there was no front desk where I could ask to change rooms. I’m sure great in the winter, but do not recommend in the summer.
