“Our family of seven adults had wonderful holiday at Casa Scimone. It exceeded our expectations in every department: spacious and beautifully decorated. The gardens and terraces were especially attractive and the smell of jasmine from the garden below Casa Dario was delightful. We particularly enjoyed the pool even in late October and the views of the bay and Etna were a sensational start to the day. House Manager Micaela was always available and arranged a great day out on Etna and at the winery almost by return of text, nothing was too much trouble and the cleaning and gardening staff were friendly and unobtrusive. She was very welcoming and the perfect host. We’re sure you’ll have a great holiday at Casa Scimone, we certainly did, and highly recommend it.”

“The 2 villas and the apartment each with their own terraces and balconies meant that we all had our own space but could come together on the large terrace at Casa Dario or at the pool. The villas themselves were beautiful, tastefully decorated, clean, comfortable and contained everything that you could possibly want or need (there was even a selection of children’s toys). The gardens were beautiful, tranquil and well maintained containing a range of trees (lemon, mango) and colourful flowers, but one of the main attractions of Casa Scimone has to be the breath-taking view over Taormina, the bay and Etna.

My husband celebrated his 70th birthday while we were there and we held the party for over 50 family members on the large terrace of Casa Dario. Micaela and her team ( a special mention to Angela and Emanuele ) organised everything- delicious Sicilian food, drinks, ice lollies, birthday cake and a guitar player strumming in the background. All we had to do was turn up! None of us will ever forget this birthday! A huge thank you to Micaela and her team for an absolutely amazing and unforgettable holiday. We will be back!”

“Villa Scimone is a delight! Quiet, safe and full of character. We all loved the wealth of space and the busy, historic town is within easy walking distance. The villa provided a great retreat and having three distinct sleeping homes within the grounds of the villa meant that our party of 13 could have privacy when ever we needed it - Or we could join together for big meals or celebrations (one birthday and one anniversary!) “

“Staying at Villa Scimone gives one a taste of the golden years of ‘dolce vita” Taormina. A charming and romantic setting furnished with thought and loads of personality creating a relaxing and unique vibe.”

"We could not have made a better choice if we had spent the rest of the year looking! Villa Scimone is beautiful, inside and out. The outside spaces are so many, we did not have time to spend in all of them! Because of the separate accommodations, the house never felt crowded with 11 of us, though we could come together to eat and enjoy each others' company in comfort. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need, and more..."

"We had a party of 8 stay at Casa Scimone in July 2017. We were greeted by the owner and we all immediately bonded with her. She has a fantastic spirit and energy and we all loved her. She was able to highlight all the things we needed to accomplish in Taormina. Villa Scimone sits on the hill overlooking the downtown area—about a 10 minute walk. It is perfectly situated. We enjoyed cocktails every evening before dinner overlooking the ocean and the lights of Taormina. The owner also arranged for a chef to cook for us at Casa Scimone twice during our stay. Local produce, fish, meat and PASTA were featured and was fantastic. It was truly one of the most relaxing enjoyable vacations. She is a gracious, wonderful host!”

“We have travelled extensively throughout the world. Villa Scimone in Taormina is one of our favourite places. All the rooms and patios are professionally maintained and immaculate. Every detail is attended to, including a wonderful elevator.
All of this is enough to highly recommend Villa Scimone, but there is another feature that makes it stand alone: its owner who is welcoming, gracious, very helpful and professional.”

On behalf of our entire group, I must say our experience staying at Vila Scimone was most memorable. In fact it will go down as a true lifetime highlight for my lovely bride and I. Everyone was amazed and mesmerised by the views the villa offered. Mt. Etna so close you could almost touch her. We couldn't take our eyes off her wondering what she might be up to next. And when we did, our gaze would shift to the 180 degree view of the sea below.
