Casa Cuseni is incredible. Maria and Francesco were amazing, so friendly and kind. The location is so convenient, close to the town but still quiet. The views were breathtaking and the property is beyond my expectations. I would most definitely stay here again.
What a great first stop on our Sicily vacation ! Imagine staying in the same rooms where Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway stayed ! Beautiful facility loaded with history, fantastic views and guides that made our stay interesting and informative.
You will remember this place !!
The kindest people and the most beautiful place - we loved the pool, the views, the aircon and the short walk into town for dinner. Spotlessly clean and no need for a car - we easily caught the airport bus and walked (despite it being seriously hot).
Thank you for making our short stay so special 💕
The most unique B&B/Hotel we have ever stayed and we loved the experience! The property sits overlooking most of Taormina with fantastic views of Mt Etna. The rooms are very clean, well equipped and assessable to the gorgeous views (we had two balconies). The pool is also great after a hot day of visiting Taormina! The staff were very helpful and friendly and the breakfast was excellent. While you don't need to be an "Art lover" to stay here, the property really is a museum and the history adds to the charm. We loved Casa Cuseni and, if we're lucky enough to return to Taormina, would stay again!
Casa Cuseni is a true gem of a find. An absolutely stunning building with a unique history, and an unrivalled view of Etna. The staff and owners take a real pride in the building and the artwork within and they really can’t help enough. We had the pleasure of staying in the Faulkner flat and the Pablo Picasso suites, both of which were huge spaces with original artworks on the walls.
Breakfast was a great spread with options for every taste, and some delicious home-baked treats and fresh fruit grown in the gardens.
During the stay, the museum tour is a must. We were blown away by the history of the building and the overwhelming number of artists, writers and guests of historical significance. Given the opportunity, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again in the future and would choose Casa Cuseni over a large hotel without hesitation!
Casa Cuseni was an extraordinary experience! Maria was amazing, arranging our private boat tour and the beach club, which we truly enjoyed. She also runs an incredible tour of the house, telling beautiful stories about how Cuseni lived there and who his guests were: Picasso, Hemingway, and many others.
The property is extraordinary, with the most amazing views of the ocean, the town, and Mount Etna. The house has beautiful gardens and art, and the breakfast was amazing, with great views. Sending ♥️
I cannot stop thinking about my stay here! Made my time in Taormina that much more special. The grounds and hotel were magical, the staff were all very nice and helpful and the views were incredible. We used the pool which was great in the heat and enjoyed the complimentary breakfast everyday, which felt like a home-made meal. I highly reccomend this hotel to those looking for a unique hotel experience, not just as somewhere to stay but a space to immerse yourself in art and history. Francesco was an incredibly lovely host, and was surrounded by many lovely women helping keep this place running. We were just a 10 minute walk away from Corso Umberto, getting around was quite easy and straight forward.
Absolutely wonderful! The most magnificent views, great breakfast, very clean rooms. The Picasso suite was a 2 bed, 2 bath… gorgeous. Best location, easy access to all the main attractions.
Beautiful property, stunning room with two balconies and views of Taormina and Mount Etna. Amazing views from the swimming pool - so peaceful. And lovely staff - they really made our stay memorable. Just little touches, like the owner presenting me with a sprig of the stephanotis which grows in their gardens when I had commented on how lovely it was! You do need to be fairly fit, as there are quite a lot of steps, but that is part of the charm of Taormina and of Casa Cuseni!
Just a couple of advisory notes (not criticisms, but things that could make the stay even better!)- the air con could probably do with a boost - it was unusually hot during our stay, but at times it was hard to get the room cool enough. And a couple of really minor things such as a few hooks in the bathroom would be handy for hanging clothes on, and maybe more places to dry towels. But, as I say, minor things
We absolutely loved our stay, and would highly recommend this property!
Beautiful setting and room with a stunning view from the terrace. The most unique place I’ve ever stayed full of history and beautiful things. Take the tour it’s an amazing story.
Don’t expect modern sanitised luxury, but if you want a place you’ll remember there can’t be many better.
Maria on front desk a perfect host, we will be back, thank you!
It was such a joy to stay at Casa Cuseni. Everything was incredibly beautiful, everyone was so kind and helpful, and our room was an absolute dream. I can’t recommend it enough!
This unique gem is hard to put into words the history, feel and beauty of this hotel and museum. The caretakers and staff are lovely and caring, very nice new new pool, the history of art and culture around every turn are indescribable. I would high recommend to stay here if you enjoy art and culture.
This building has a fascinating history! The private tour was really interesting. The views from the balcony are incredible. The owners and Maria were very attentive. The location is also very convenient. We would definitely stay here again.
Amazing experience. Owners and people were really polite, keen on supporting in everything. Service was immaculate. Location and view were simply stunning.
Superbe séjour dans cette villa incroyable. Vue imprenable, surtout depuis la chambre Don Roberto que nous avions prise. Le propriétaire Francesco et Maria étaient adorables et très accueillants, très serviables !
La maison est en fait aussi un musée et nous avons pu profiter de la visite guidée réalisée par Maria qui nous a fait connaître ce lieu regorgeant d’histoire.
La vue est à couper le souffle ! La literie est un peu datée. Petit déjeuner excellent, on a bien apprécié l’aspect historique du lieu.
Attention à bien anticiper de marcher, 18000 pas en moyenne par jour plywood 52 escaliers…
Ville et hôtel pouf les sportifs!
Magischer Ort mit Aussicht,einzigartige Geschichte
Ein magischer Ort, der sich nicht mit den üblichen Bewertungskriterien von Buchungsseiten ausreichend einschätzen läßt. Das Haus und seine Menschen verbindet eine einzigartige und weltoffenen Geschichte in diesem Haus mit nur 5 Zimmern und einem grandiosen Blick.
