“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. From the cozy bed and the lovely terrace view to the lush greenery and charming gardens, it all felt very homely. We also made use of the rooftop, which featured comfy beds, a hot tub, and a shower. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Michele, the host, warmly welcomed us and provided great suggestions and historical insights about the town. The breakfast was delicious and offered various options. Lastly, the location was ideal, being conveniently close to everything.”

“We stayed here for 2 nights and it was absolutely incredible! The host Michele is really friendly and helpful, as well as all of the staff. The view from our room was stunning, it was clean, comfortable, central location. We were even able to use the rooftop and the whole garden, which was full of greenery and cozy atmosphere. The breakfast was tasty and had different options. We would definitely come back here without a doubt!”

“I surprised my wife with a 4 night break to Sicily Taormina staying at ISOCO guesthouse. I have to say it was a great experience & both i & my wife had a fabulous time. The guesthouse was beautiful with special quirky little touches here & there. It was clean with views to die for & the breakfast with freshly baked croissants that were left at our door every morning were delicious. The staff were extremely helpful and even arranged our volcano and winery tour, which I would highly recommend. There was some special little touches such as welcome drink and sweet treats on your pillows & nothing you asked the Isoco team was too much. We had the benefit of staying in 2 different rooms, first was one with a balcony looking over the gulf which was amazing, second was the one with the jacuzzi in it. Both were fantastic and would recommend each of them. All in all it was a beautiful place to stay & we cannot wait to return. Thank you for a brilliant stay!”

“Had an amazing stay at Isoco Guest House in Taormina in May 2024. We stayed for a week in the 'Botticelli' room. The room was pretty big, with a mini-kitchen, coffee maker, kettle, fridge / mini-bar, en-suite, balcony (sea view) and an anti-room (handy for shoes). The whole guest house is very spacious and comfortable with outdoor and indoor seat and a hot tub. It is well located just outside the busy town centre, which suited us perfectly. It is a five minute stroll to the bustling centre with tons of shops and restaurants, but on a quiet street accessed through a stone arch. We had a car for the week, which was great for exploring the area, but driving in Taormina takes a couple of days to get used to. Top tip - make sure you book parking with Michele in advance. We had a parking place right across the street in a private car park with an electronic gate. Michele makes all his guest very welcome, with a welcome drink and guide to the town. His recommended restaurants were excellent. Breakfast is indoors or outdoors and is the chance to chat with the other guests to discuss yesterday's findings and today's plans. A wonderful place to stay if you want to experience the elegance of Taormina and the surrounding area.”

“We had a fantastic time during our stay at the Isoco guest house. The guest house is located in a nice spot of the town, a few minutes walk to the busy town center and a supermarket around the corner yet in a quiet neighbourhood with amazing view of the coast as it's up the hill. Communication with the staff before arrival was very easy, as we have a 9months old daughter the guest house was able to provide a cot for us in our room and they made sure a staff member was around when we arrived (we arrived late in the evening after normal checkin hours). Michele the host welcomed us with cool drinks and gave us recommendations of local restaurants and things to do. The staff were very nice and helpful at all times, and the breakfast was very pleasant with great varieties. The rooms are cleaned everyday, We stayed in one of the rooms with private terrace on the the lower floor, the room is spacious and they have microwave and hob-handy for making light meals and baby food. The terrace is lovely with a brilliant view. Very relaxing in the evenings after a day exploring Toarmina. The rooms are completely soundproof-very helpful for our little one. We would definitely recommend Isoco for anyone visiting Sicily! And hope to come back to stay again in the not distant future!!”

“The views and location once you arrive at the guesthouse is great. I was grateful for the referral to get a pedicure as it was the best one I’ve ever had. We stayed in a lower level room separate to the others which is fine but could do with a few updates. Breakfast is provided to you each day and is very nice but if you want eggs you cook them yourself in the kitchen in the room. A tip if arriving by train, do not bother with the link bus as you still need to drag your bags up up up hills and then stairs to the guest house.”
