I enjoyed my stay, I felt like I was a guest in Louisa and Marco home. The Villa has a history and the gardens and home are beautiful. It in nestled in the hillside of Taormina with a view of the sunrise while enjoying a breakdast prepared just for you, while you enjoy the views of the ocean and hillside town. It was a 10 to 15 minute walk from villa to palazzo. the walk gave me a change to see more. I would recommend the rental to a couple or family I absolutely loved it!!! Louisa and Marco thank you both for all the assistance and the Memories , grazie ciao bella ❤️

i like everything

This was a highlight of our two week trip traveling around Sicily; Villa Britannia is a treasure, overflowing with a fascinating literary history, and with only two rooms, you can almost trick yourself into thinking it is your own private Villa on the Taormina hill side. The terrace of the Truman Capote suite was delightful, superbly comfortable. Villa Britannia is just far enough away (15 minute stroll) from the tourist crowds in a largely residential area, with excellent parking. Great communication and hospitality from Louisa, Marco and their team. A special place.

Nothing

We visited Taormina and stayed at this beautiful house in early July. The house and the garden are even more stunning in real life, and it's perfect for a family. We traveled with two children aged 10 and 14. The host, Louisa, offered us a 5-star treatment and helped us with booking restaurants, beach clubs, and assisted with everything we wanted to know during our stay. She was always available with the best recommendations. We were there during the Taormina film festival, which is a rather busy time of year. However, Villa Britannia is a quiet oasis away from the crowded areas, and it's still just a very short walk to the center. We completely fell in love with Taormina and Villa Britannia. Louisa went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home in her amazing house and hometown. We will definitely come back and choose Villa Britannia over any 5-star hotel. Louisa's hospitality and the beauty of the house and its surroundings have left a lasting impression on us.

Perfect location- on a quiet street, a short five minute walk to the center of town. We parked our car in the garage provided (located in front of the villa) and walked everywhere. The villa exceeded our expectations- Clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable with amazing views of the sea. The villa also has a lovely garden with a lemon tree and a tree swing! We did yoga in the garden, enjoyed drinking coffee on the upstairs porch and cocktails and dinner on the large downstairs porch. All the porches have amazing views of the sea. The kitchen is well equipped with pots/pans and cooking utensils. The amazing hosts, Marco and Louisa, took great care of us. They helped us with our bags, gave us wonderful dinner recommendations and coordinated transportation to and from the beach club. It felt like a home away from home. Housekeeping was also provided daily. Our family of four had plenty of room to spread out with the entire villa to ourselves!

Nothing!

Villa Britannia is so lovely! It felt like staying at a friend's cool, arty house. Comfortable, warm and stylish. The room we had was massive! Really felt like a home away from home. The breakfast was incredible and Marcos was so friendly and helpful. It was the perfect amount of attention and privacy at the villa. The location is perfect, quietly away from the busy part of town, but it's only about a 10min walk around the corner. And then there's the view...the view from the house and from our room was beautiful, I could look out at the ocean and the houses slotted up the mountain all day. Would go back to Villa Britannia in a heart beat!

Everything was perfect

A beautiful villa, with Louisa, our hostess, who welcomed us with such warmth, hospitality, kindness, and grace. She goes above and beyond to make you feel that the villa is your home. Breakfasts are amazing, with Sicilian cheeses, hams, breads, croissants, fresh fruit and tomatoes, yogurt, and eggs cooked to order. And you set your breakfast time! Louisa made dinner reservations for us, set up tours, and helped with a myriad of details. Our room was kept immaculately clean (thank you, Patrizia). The grounds and gardens are beautiful too. If you come to Taormina, you must stay at Villa Brittania. We were sad to say goodbye, but have dreams of returning to this Sicilian paradise.

There's nothing not to like.

Warm personal welcome, service, and advice throughout. Louisa took individual breakfast requests each evening and the food was top-notch, fresh, and varied. Our room was huge with 2 balconies (one with a sea view and the 2nd with a garden view. The Villa was large with a softly lit, comfortable bar/lounge for guests. Each evening a varied repertoire of soft jazz was played. Breakfast was served on the shady terrace. Louisa made reservations for dinners, outings, and a beach club upon our request. While there we went to the local opera (close by), visited the ancient amphitheater, and spent time on the beach. We toured Mt. Etna and also drove into Castlemoto for walking and lunch. We truly felt at-home in the villa.

Nothing to improve upon. I wish we had stayed longer.

It was the most beautiful stay of my life. The scenery, the decor, the delicious breakfast, the hospitality of Marco and Louisa, learning about the Roman tombstone in the villa garden, all of it was spectacular. The villa has so much artwork and beautiful books. The kitchen always had some delicious food to eat, and we definitely felt at home while staying there. I can't wait to go back!

Nothing! Everything was amazing!

This is an amazing villa! a real retreat. what can i say, it exceeded my expectations! Louisa, the owner, is an amazing woman and runs this place impeccably. The home, the garden, the terraces, the furniture, bed, paintings on the wall - everything is carefully designed and thought of. The house has a large inviting living room, a big kitchen with a Nespresso coffee machine, generous breakfast on the terrace with the breeze from the sea, a huge room with 2 terraces - one overlooking the sea and the other - the garden. You have total privacy, the whole house for yourself (there was another couple in this 2 bedroom house, whom i have only met on the last day at breakfast). if you are looking for more than just a place to sleep - rather, experience some true Sicilian/British living - this is the place!

The villa is 8-10 minutes walk to/from Taormina center, up and down hill. This gives you the quite evenings away from the crowds, but is still a consideration especially if you are carrying heavy luggage - perhaps take a taxi if coming from the main bus station.

The property has been thoughtfully decorated and exudes a relaxed homely yet sophisticated ambiance. Our hosts Marco and Louisa were very welcoming and hospitable throughout. We saw them at breakfast each morning, and we saw the other 2 guests occasionally, but mostly we had the whole place to ourselves. Great location, just a short 10 minute walk to town, and quiet with secure parking. We'd love to stay again.

Nothing, couldn't be better.
