About the Hotel
Location
Carrying a 9.0/10 Booking.com rating from guest reviews, the 3-star family-run Bed And Breakfast Dionisio occupies a quiet street in Taormina's Porta Catania district, 300 metres from Taormina Cathedral and a 12-minute walk from the Taormina Cable Car - Upper Station. Accommodation ranges from double rooms and family rooms to a three-bedroom apartment, all with private bathrooms, air conditioning, free WiFi, premium bedding, flat-screen TVs, soundproofing, a work desk, and a dining table; some rooms also have a kitchenette and a coffee machine. Daily housekeeping, express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, private check-in/check-out, and a roundtrip airport shuttle are available. A daily full breakfast is served starting at 8:00 AM, and one guest review mentions receiving vouchers and discount tickets for breakfast and dinner at Hotel Continental, a 15 m walk up the hill. Common areas include a shared lounge/TV area, a terrace, and outdoor furniture at Bed And Breakfast Dionisio; the property is non-smoking in rooms and has a designated smoking area. The Porta Catania entrance gate is a couple of hundred metres away, with Greek Theatre, Villa Comunale Garden, and Mount Etna as nearby attractions; Isola Bella beach is 2 km away, Villagonia Beach is 2 km away, and Catania Fontanarossa Airport is 60 km away. Owners Enrico and Cettina live opposite the rented rooms and are described in reviews as exceptionally helpful, providing maps, local advice, and assistance with taxis and parking. Bed And Breakfast Dionisio also offers laptop-friendly workspaces, baby safety gates for families, and no pets allowed, which keeps the environment allergen-friendly.
Pros
The three-bedroom apartment includes three large en-suite bedrooms, comfortable beds, and a kitchen with everything needed to cook.
The hosts organised a beach club and directed guests to local restaurants, including Osteria Liola, where home-made fresh specialty dishes are served.
Steps from the apartment kitchen lead up to an extensive patio with a large table, chairs, and a pleasant view.
Guests with mobility needs found the walk downhill to Porta Catania and the route to the Greek Theatre accessible enough for a wheelchair user.
Cons
There is no on-site parking; nearby public car parks are not cheap, according to one guest review.
One guest found the street-side double room small and the breakfast limited to packets of toast.
