Loved the location. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Taormina. So, it's so nice to just enjoy, relax and be at peace after walking around. Our room overlooks the sea via our balcony. So, you can just see us relaxing both day and night out in the balcony. Breakfast was great. And most of all the host, Giovanni was excellent and made sure that we are very much taken cared of. Just what you want on a host.
Giovanna was amazing! Night one, our flights were cancelled, so we got in late and she stayed late to check us in. The view and sunrise over Isosa Bella was so beautiful, I didn't want to leave. Breakfast every morning was delicious! The staff was so warm and welcoming. She also helped arrange a friendly taxi on days where it was too hot to walk up the hill to town and when we had our wedding ceremony. I recommend this to anyone for the value of the experience!
Localização muito boa, vista esplêndida da suíte com varanda, que fiquei, café da manhã farto e Giovanna, que faz toda a diferença, sendo extremamente simpática, educada e eficiente. Tudo muito prático. Um charme a mais da residência é a decoração com antiguidades. Super recomendo.
The hosts, Giovanna and Fraci, are the best! My sister and I had an amazing time. The views are iconic, the breakfast was delicious, and it’s an easy walk to the city. Highly recommended—great value for money! 😉
Host Joanna was friendly and helpful. The ocean views from maison Blanche are amazing. Excellent breakfast. The town of Toarmima is reachable by foot and well worth the climb. Lots of great shops and restaurants.
Located half way up the hill to town - i LOVED staying here. Giovanna is an amazing host from check in to arranging cabs for you and the breakfast was delicious. Plus the views are outstanding. The perfect weekend stay! Would stayhere again.
Fabulous property with very friendly and informative hosts. Our room was very comfortable and had a fantastic 180 degree view. Be prepared to hike up the hill, or take a bus to the main parts of Taormina.
An exceptional view, kind hosts, and wonderful breakfast. It is a short hike uphill to town which we didn’t mind. At night the walk was dark, the flashlight on our phones helped. Look forward to returning.

Wonderful Host and Beautiful View
Francesco is a wonderful and gracious host and his property is magnificent. The property overlooks the ocean and Isola Bella and the view could not be better. Francesco was also very helpful with local knowledge of the area and helped us with dinner reservations as well. Maison Blanche is a wonderful place to stay!

view you can ask for
Super clean, great breakfast!
Giovanna and her husband are very helpful and always available
We will definitely return!
Maison Blanche was wonderful! The hostess went out of her way to be helpful and the view is unbeatable at this price. You even have your own balcony.
It is a hike to town, like a steep 15 minute approach. To town
Giovanna was incredibly welcoming and sweet. Her hospitality is unmatched. She made sure everyone had the best experience from arranging rides to offering to book reservations for dinner. She even waited for us for breakfast after I overslept. The view from the balconies is unmatched in all of Taormina. I highly recommend a stay at Maison Blanche. I will be referring to anyone I know who plans to visit Taormina.
I do restaurant reviews all the time. Never ever did a hotel/B&B because it mostly standard. But this place is like out of a dream. If feels you’re in a mansion. The views are spectacular. You wake up and look out the window and you think you’re staring at a painting. But what really makes this place special is Giovanna!! She is the best!! She is very attentive to your needs and is always available morning and night. Plus the breakfast is awesome the cook and make everything how you like it. Also I can’t forget the great staff with the rooms and the cook.
Best Stay in Italy. Must Stay for Taormina.
Giovanna is a most wonderful and attentive host. She runs a tight ship and it shows. Maison Blanche is a must-stay for anyone wanting to enjoy Taormina from a quiet base, with stunning views of Mt. Etna and the Mediterranean.
The property faces east, so if you get up early enough, you’ll see one of the most beautiful sunrises of your life.
Breakfast is AMAZING. Fresh eggs made to order, an abundant spread of pastries, fresh fruit, breakfast breads, and plenty of made-to-order caffè. It’s the kind of breakfast that fuels a full day of sightseeing, and the kind of quality that makes you want to linger one more morning.
There’s a bus stop right outside the gate for easy transportation into town and down to the beach. Giovanna can also coordinate taxis, private transfers, or scooter rentals if you’d rather have something arranged. The beach is 4 minutes by car and town is 5 minutes.
Looking for things to do or places to eat? Giovanna has recommendations for everything, and they’re the kind of recommendations only a local who genuinely cares can give.
This place is also motorcycle-friendly, very secure, and felt safe throughout my stay. As a solo rider, that mattered.
If you’re staying in Taormina, stay here.
Amazing hospitality. Gióvanna the mistress of Maison Blanche herself, greeted Jennifer and I with warm welcomes and delicious Rosé in hand.
Started days before our arrival she consistently communicated with us, checked with the ETA and insured our safe arrival at her hotel. Recommended and booked authentic Italian restaurant for dinner reservation on our behalf, gave tips on travelling and made us photo-worthy breakfast the next morning. When we couldn't find taxi, she sent her husband to pick us up from town, and drove us back. (Did I mention they found my lost cellphone for me?)
It’s a lovely place, really beautiful house.
Breakfast is ok, not as good as a hotel you would pay the same price for.
Furthermore breakfast is not relaxing, we felt rushed and hurried both mornings, all we wanted was peace and quiet, exactly why we booked this kind of place and not a hotel.
Upon 2nd day checkout were charged 16 euros for water bottles that were left out without any notification of possible charge in the room. It’s normal to have a water bottle provided every day in a more expensive accommodation, I would never expect to be charged on top!!
Very small and insignificant, but it changes the atmosphere/ picture completely.
Then you remember that upon arrival the landlady tried to sell you another room for 120 more or later selling some handbags at breakfast, it feels a bit cheap and gaming.
Other things:
ABBA being constantly played, I am glad we didn’t stay more than 2 nights, it already started to feel crazy
Speakers in room randomly turned on with hosts music playing, I had contact and to ask how to deal with it and wait!!
No apology!
It’s a beautiful house, but the service/treatment is not good enough.
We felt only ok
But then you
We had way better service for half and a third of the price the week we spent in Sicily.
We had a lovely stay. The room was nice and the service was perfect. The hostess was on top of it all the time, from breakfast in the morning to the dinner at night. We recommend this to all travellers that would like to have a ”lyxuary” holiday in a faboulus area.
Enormous deck overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Room is clean, modern, with enormous windows to capture sky and sea. Hosts Giovanna and Francesco are welcoming, willing to allow dog-loving guests to socialize with their amiable Boxer, Bart. Owners on premises, and available. Only five units in this lovely home pitched cliffside. Walk to town is close, but involves stone steps up the hillside.Parking on premises makes coming and going easy, so best to drive to Taormina in my 74-year-old opinion. Elegant white marble throughout. Would stay again.
Emplacement exceptionnel avec vu imprenable sur la baie et l’océan.Le personnel est attentif et advenant.Petit déjeuner complet et délicieux.Ça vaux la peine de s’offrir une des chambres de luxes de cet établissement.
