Beautiful, convenient apartments, nice pool & view
Posted 7 Oct 2023 on HotelsMy second stay here, and my first since they remodeled from a B&B to independent apartments. Wonderful, friendly management, whom I have known since my first stay years ago. Beautifully outfitted apartments with every convenience; lovely pool with view overlooking the sea. Steps away from a local beach, slightly longer walk to others. A few hundred meters from train station; bus stop is near the Villa (for access to Taormina up the hill... or you can ascend the stair/path up the hill on foot, and descend as well.) Villa degli Ulivi is an excellent choice for visiting Taormina or Giardini-Naxos.

The property was clean and spacious, large rooms, kitchen and balcony.
The property manager was very nice, accommodating, and easy to communicate with.
The only negative comment was the pillows and mattress. We could feel the springs in the mattress, I think I still have coil marks on my body.

Lovely place in the outside of the noisy city. Amazing gardens and great friendly staff. Will give you great tips and help with tours. Also, the best sleep I’ve had during my Europe trip. Also, right next to the train station. And you can go up to Taormina in a simple bus.

Short but slightly scary walk from train station- no real sidewalks. Clean, friendly, quiet.

A lovely place convenient for exploring Taormina
Posted 10 Jun 2018 on HotelsWe stayed 3 days here on our fly drive trip to Sicily, end of May. We received a warm and friendly welcome from our host who gave us tips on what to see in the area. Free parking on the busy road. Sea view and a walk to a small beach with café nearby which we enjoyed. Short drive to beautiful Taormina (If you don't have a car there are buses nearby). Breakfast outside overlooking the bay. Difficult to find fault. It is on a busy road and the train line is busy too, but we slept well. We loved our stay and hope to return again.

Villa Ulivi in June
Posted 9 Sep 2015 on HotelsVery friendly and warm people, feeling almost like at home. Though the place is not in Taormina, one can be in town with a 15-20 minutes walk and less to Isola Bella. Parking is available off road so that the place is good as a starting point for excursions around (Etna, Noto, Siracusa,...).

Lovely B&B in Taormina
Posted 24 Sep 2014 on HotelsWe had a fantastic stay! Gaetano, the owner was extremely accommodating. We arrived late and he helped us order a pizza and set up a table for us to eat at 11:00 at night! Room was large, comfortable and clean. Lovely large bathroom. All was newly renovated. Gaetano was extremely helpful with directions, what to see including places away from the crowds in Taormina. Location was excellent, only a few minutes drive from town. Overall a wonderful stay!

No parking, had to park on side of busy highway. Housekeeper was a little nosy. This is not a hotel, it is actually a bed and breakfast. No toiletries such as shampoo or soap.

Good option if you need parking
Posted 11 Jul 2014
Location: Drove to the cable car (only a few minutes away) and took it up to Taormina (EUR6 return per person) and then walked later for a swim at Isola Bella.
On a main road and near railway line but windows were good and not too noisy. There is a bus going by but it is clearly better if you have a car. Hotel staff went out of their way to come back to the hotel to pick up our things at the end of the day. I think it is an older building so my room was a bit musty. Breakfast on the terrace was nice.
