Hey from Rosaria

Member since December 2005 | 121,309 hits

I'm Rosaria and together with Giovanni we are the owners of the B&B.

After a life in the restaurant industry, we have decided to dedicate ourselves to hospitality and the care of our home.

Our villa is located in the Mastrissa district, a small paradise near the wonderful Taormina, surrounded by local and tropical ornamental plants.

Each apartment has its own terrace with gazebo and deck chairs and free parking is located inside the villa.

All was perfect. Exchanges before our arrival until our departure. A lovely host, available and full of good advice. A beautiful and very well-equipped studio, a royal terrace with sunbeds... And what about the breakfast, a real delight. Thank you very much to everyone and perfect.

It is with pleasure that I leave a review for the weekend spent at the 'Finestra sul mare' property. We were satisfied with everything. First of all, the immediate communication from the manager both on the availability of accommodation and during the journey with detailed directions on how to get there. We were welcomed by the very nice Mrs. Sara: helpful, kind, knowledgeable about what to do, where to go, and how to get there. A delightful little villa that immediately made us feel both on vacation and at the same time as if we were at home. Our apartment was equipped with every comfort, everything well maintained and spotlessly clean. In the morning, we were delighted by a plentiful breakfast that Mrs. Sara set up on our terrace, it was a real treat. For us, it's a 10 on all points! This is our way of thanking those who do their job with passion and seriousness. Thank you and see you soon.

Fantastic B&B a few kilometers from Taormina, the owner Sara is a true host, very kind and very helpful, she met us on everything. Very clean room equipped with everything! Reserved parking inside the courtyard! Recommended!

I am sorry for the kindness of Mrs. Rosaria and her husband, who have been very helpful throughout, but there is really a lack of basic cleanliness. It is not possible that in six days a sweeping and mopping of the floor or a cleaning of the bathroom have never been done. I report the presence of cats in the courtyard that could bother allergic subjects, as well as a lush nature with many plants (and consequently many insects). Good location outside the chaotic center of Taormina on a secondary mountain road uphill with numerous curves. Positive note the presence of a parking space included in the courtyard for each room. Unfortunately, during our stay the electricity went out twice with consequent inconveniences. The structure needs some maintenance, especially regarding the water which has been missing several times. Also here prompt intervention by Mr. Giovanni. I have stayed elsewhere in other b&bs but I had never had to change the bed sheets or towels, nor had I ever experienced this total lack of cleanliness. I might return for stays of two/three days, I would not recommend it for longer stays.

We were disappointed by our simple apartment without a view, at road level, near the chicken coop (we are in the countryside). We would have preferred one of the two rooms with a terrace and sea view. Good breakfast Good welcome, Rosa is kind, available to her guests. Giovanni allowed us to pick the fruits.
