Le Giare

Disappointing cold and unwelcoming. On arrival I wondered what on earth I had done. Pulling up the run down streets, filled with rubbish, and the b and b had its shutters all shut- never saw the open. We went off and explored Taormina which was stunning and arrived back in the evening. The rooms are spacious and very clean but cold and unwelcoming. The old metal beds are rock hard and uncomfy. The TV tiny, and without the nice touch of other b and bs with streaming services available. The area had some nice bars and restaurants but wouldn’t recommend it as a place to stay, even though we could easily visit lots of areas from there- there are much nicer places to stay.

Stayed here for a destination wedding that was about 10 minutes away, VERY clean older B&B. Loved the pictures and antiques. There is no lift and quite a few stairs so carrying bags up was a little bit hard. In a very safe and pituresque neighborhood. Would recommend stay here if you have a car as there are no close taxis or Ubers (they come from Taromina and will charge you). Not sure sure what towns or activities are around (town very quiet) and we only stayed the two nights.

Stayed here for 2 nights, we booked last minute and the lady was very accommodating and friendly. She explained a bit about the area, and made sure we were happy with the room. We had a lovely view of mt Etna, and the hotel is small but well located to the main street and beach area. We would definitely recommend as a stopover during your Sicily trip.
