Maison Blanche Taormina

“Außergewöhnliche Villa mit herrlichem Blick.”

A very chic, modern villa with huge balconies and a stunning sea view and Isola Bella. Excellent breakfast with a sea view, parking at the house. The house is an experience. Unfortunately, our room was very small. I suspect it was the smallest in the B&B. If we stay there again, we’ll choose a larger room with a bigger window.

The spot was spot on, and the owner was super friendly and full of useful info; the breakfast was fantastic and the whole place is gorgeous.

“Divine outlook, sumptuous breakfasts and lovely hosting.”

The location was great, but the room we stayed in could use an extra window.

“Beautiful but feels like its getting run down. Smell in the room and lack of AC terrible.”

The view was beautiful and the hostess was lovely. Our room was large and the breakfast spread was great. 1. It was raining off and on and since they did not bring in the deep cushions from outdoor furniture, we could not sit on the balcony the entire stay. 2. Septic / sewer gas smell was very strong in room. Had to keep toilet seat down and bathroom door shut but it still smelled - strong. And could not open bathroom window because it had no screens and mosquitos were savage. This was horrible. 3. The AC was not turned on and since there are no screens on windows and mosquitos are savage we were very uncomfortable at night. We left the window open the first night to get air and got eaten alive. 4. Location is half way down mountain from Taormina, so could not simple step out onto the street of Taormina - either a very long hike climb up hill with hundreds of steps. Or a $20 cabride to the top and back down. There was bus service that we did not use

“A mixed experience at Maison Blanche, but would still recommend because of the positives.”

The property’s location is perfect for catching morning sunrises, with incredible views over the Taormina coastline and refreshing coastal breezes. The hostess, Giovanna, is amazingly helpful and friendly, and there is parking access—though we had to ask her and her husband to help us get out. The breakfasts are tasty and plentiful. Unfortunately, the air conditioning didn’t work, so we slept with the windows open the first two nights, which meant we got bitten by the many mosquitoes that are common in Taormina and other Sicilian cities. On the second night, a hotel across the street played disco music until 2 AM, which, combined with the mosquitoes, made that night almost unbearable. Our neighbors complained about the same issues. After the second night we raised the concerns with Giovanna, who promptly gave us a fan; the third night was then very pleasant, especially since the music stopped at 2 AM. The accommodation is about a 15‑minute walk from town center, either up a winding road or by stairs, and you can also take a local bus or drive (parking is a problem once you arrive). We walked for exercise, but the second and third evenings it rained heavily and the road turned into a virtual river, preventing us from heading into town for dinner. This is normal for coastal Italian towns, but it highlighted that a more centrally located hotel would have made it easier to get around. Despite everything, we still recommend Maison Blanche as a place to stay.
