We had a great time at Villa Doride

We had a great time at Villa Doride. Micaela the host was very welcoming and there to answer any questions and make sure our stay was perfect. The villa is large enough for big groups with plenty of space for everyone. The terrace is huge and has a great view of Taormina. We were close by to restaurants, shops and small cafes. The lift and washing machine were a bonus. The villa also has a secure driveway which made car pick ups and drop offs very easy. The bathrooms were large and the showers worked well. The beds and pillows were comfortable. We would definitely return to Villa Doride! Micaela was a perfect host. Everything worked very well for our group. Communication was very clear.

The Villa itself, the location and the host were all amazing

The Villa itself, the location and the host were all amazing. We would not hesitate to book this absolutely beautiful villa again someday. The views of the sea and Mt Etna from the numerous locations on this magnificent landscaped property were spectacular. Easy walkable distance to all restaurants/cafes, shops, grocery store, cable car to beach (although it was closed during our March visit) and historical sites. Villa living areas were expansive, well maintained and clean. Host was extremely responsive and friendly. We even hired a chef whom was recommended by the host to cook for us 1 evening and that was perfect. Overall, our family loved the entire experience.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Doride in Taormina

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Doride in Taormina. Micaela, the owner, was very kind and helpful. Everyone knows and adores her in Taormina, so everything we needed was there for us, including at the beach clubs (highly recommended). The villa is beautiful and at the highest point of the city with gorgeous views of the Mediterranean and Mt. Etna volcano. The villa is clean, modernized, and fully stocked with accessories. We cooked delicious dinners at home every night. The cleaning team did a great job and were pleasant and thorough in keeping the home in order. The pool, gardens and outdoor shower were delightful and made our stay especially memorable. We look forward to returning with friends and family. Overall, we highly recommend Micaela and her wonderful Villa Doride in Taormina!
