Floresta Vacation Rentals

"The people here are the BEST. We had the greatest meal prepared with love, local ingredients snd Nonna’s recipes. And the setting, room, location, everything was magical and lovely. Our room was so nice and comfortable, clean and beautiful. "

"We travelled to Villa Sonia as a couple in our mid-30s for 6 days in early April, staying B&B in a Superior Room (Room 410). Location Centrally located in Castelmola, with shops and bars a 5-minute walk away—plenty to do nearby for relaxed days. The walk to Taormina took around 30 minutes down and 35 back up. We’re moderately fit and it was ~20°C, but the uphill stretch could be tough in hotter months. There’s a bus stop nearby (we didn’t use it), and a taxi from Taormina sea area cost €40. We rented a car and used the secure car park (€7/day). Staff The standout of our trip—every reception staff member was kind, approachable, and gave great recommendations with detailed maps. Breakfast staff were also friendly and attentive. Cleanliness Rooms were cleaned daily to a high standard. All areas, including the pool and breakfast space, were consistently spotless. Facilities The hotel has a charming feel. Our room had an incredible view of Mt Etna, a huge balcony, and a very comfortable bed. No kettle initially, but one was provided same day on request. The pool area was lovely to relax in, though too cold to swim in April. Pool bar closed off-season, but drinks/snacks available in the lobby. Food & Drink Breakfast was good, with a small but varied selection—special mention to the apple cake. We only had dinner once, but food, wine, and service were all great and well priced. Very good value. We would return in a heartbeat!!"

"We had an absolutely amazing stay at B&B Sole. The hospitality is genuine, the setting is picturesque, set in the middle of lemon farm - perfect balance between traditional Sicilian charm and modern comfort. It’s clean, vibrant, and smells faintly of orange blossom with the Etna view at the background. "

"Wonderful property with incredible menu. Gourmet dinner available in hotel or 3 minute walk to sister restaurant which is excellent for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was a treat. Wonderful staff - friendly and helpful. Wish we had more time at this hotel"

"Great room. Beautiful manicured garden and amazing views from the room! "

"The staff were very nice. He showed me to my room and said we can pick as many oranges. Breakfast was simple. The hotel was hard to find but plenty of parking. "

"Excellent staff Maria at front desk was most helpful. The bar staff were very good as well considering I don't speak English. Room was fine and comfortable I even received a free upgrade which I always enjoy. "

"Lovely hotel. Personalised service from the staff. Nothing was too much trouble at all. Lovely location amazing views. All in all a place to base and relax and unwind. "
