This was our first time to Sicily & we started our journey at Nelly’s Guest House in Taormina.

As many of the reviews state, it’s ideally located and Giuseppe was as informative as he was friendly . . . what more could you ask for in a host. Giuseppe even went so far as to ride with me to find safe/free parking for our rental-car . . . and for anyone that’s familiar with the driving in Taormina, this was greatly appreciated. I/we agree with many of the reviews regarding the actual room (ideally located, spacious, outstanding view, etc.). However, as a matter of personal preference, it would have been nice if there would have been a wider selection regarding the breakfast option . . . not to sound unappreciative; because we did truly appreciate the efforts of his mother in preparing the morning breakfast.

Otherwise, the only real criticism I’d have regarding our experience had to do with the water in the room; we were w/out water for two of the three days. More specifically, the water pressure was so low that we were not able to shower & though he acknowledged the problem with the water pressure he made no concessions.

In the world of ‘hospitality services’ having sufficient water (or water pressure) to permit for daily hygiene issues is an ABSOLUTE must. It is entirely possible (even likely) that Giuseppe had absolutely no control over this; but if so, he should have made some sort of concessions or had a contingency plan in place for such occurrences.

Notwithstanding this singular criticism, we’d absolutely recommend Nelly’s Guest House to those traveling thru Taormina.
