Casa Giafari

We had the most incredible stay at Casa Giafari in Taormina, and we can't thank Linda and Andrea enough for their outstanding hospitality. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond, helping us with our heavy luggage up the many stairs—something we truly appreciated!

Linda and Andrea were always available and full of helpful information about the area. They even arranged for our airport pickup in a lovely car, which made our journey so much smoother. While we later found a taxi on our own for $80, the convenience and comfort of the car arranged by them were well worth the $130.

The property itself is gorgeous, immaculately clean, and nestled in a peaceful, green setting. Our private porch area was perfect for relaxing, and the spacious room and spotless bathroom made us feel right at home.

One thing to note—Taormina does have a lot of mosquitoes, but Linda and Andrea had us covered with bug spray, making our stay even more comfortable. They also provided umbrellas for the rainy days, and even helped set up tours, making our trip that much more memorable.

The location is fantastic, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes because there are a lot of stairs around the area. We felt very safe during our entire stay, which was especially important for me and my daughter as it was our first time here.

We are so sad to leave but absolutely plan on staying here again. Thank you, Linda and Andrea, for an unforgettable experience. Your kindness and attention to detail made our trip to Taormina truly special!

We had a bad experience with another scheduled rental, and Andrea came to the rescue. He not only had a room for us, but after we expressed concern about the steps (we are in our 70s), he called two colleagues who own hotels to see if he could find us a room with fewer steps (with such late notice it wasn't possible). That is above and beyond and his honesty was impressive.

I spent a great deal of time researching the right location for my wife and I to spend 5 nights in Taormina and we told from others to not stay down by water but up in town and that was first key point. Then it was finding the right place and wow did Casa Giarafi tick that box. We stayed in the Nina Suite which was excellent with seperate bathroom, bedroom, lounge/sitting and a balcony. It was peaceful and the hosts Andrea and Linda were the BEST. I cannot recommend a place more with proximity to all the bars restaurants etc and the local advice. If we get back we won’t think of staying anywhere else.

Had an amazing experience at Casa Giafari. The place was beautiful, well designed and equipped with everything you can think you need. It was rebuild on July 2022 so it’s brand new. Andrea, the host, is kind and lovely and took care of everything we needed. The apartment is clean, and looks exactly as in the pictures online. Also the location was great.
Highly recommended!

We stayed in the top floor apartment.

Newly renovated and modern rooms, great hosts (Andrea and Linda), great location and great free lemons 😁

This was an outstanding place to stay. The owners are there to greet and welcome you. They explain the town and also message you restaurant and beach options. Andrea and Salvatore were outstanding hosts and owners. We have already recommended friends to stay here.

Everything about this place is perfect. The design of the rooms is impecable. The service is amazing. The location is great.

Some of the rooms have superb view. You have a panoramic view, including the sea, ftom many windows. Andrea provides a great service and was very helpful. The rooms design is very beautiful, and the entire place is only 8 months old.
It is one of the best accommodations we had, very much recomended.

What a wonderful stay - booked the Lighea Apartment on the top floor, beautiful views from the terrace where we cooked with fresh produce from the nearby Mercato Communale. Location was excellent, walking distance from everything, a gym (day pass) nearby, and wonderful hospitality from the two brothers who run the place.

Beautiful new property in the heart of Taormina. Giafari apartments are located in a nice picturesque Sicilian neighborhood.
Th interiors of the apartments are stunning. Modern design and beautiful craftsmanship perfectly blend in this dreamy Sicilian home.
Highly recommended: third floor for beautiful views of the coastline and the Ancient Theater.

We had an great experience at Casa Giafari! Hosts were wonderful and easily accessible, helpful with travel plans. The rooms were clean, well-decorated, and the location was excellent!

Andrea and Linda went out of their way to make sure our stay was extraordinary.

The best apartment with the best hosts in all of Sicily. Everything about Casa Giafari was PERFECT. Linda and Andrea went above and beyond to ensure our stay over my birthday was nothing short of magical. We were welcomed in person by Andrea who happily helped us up to the apartment with our luggage. We were greeted in the apartment with flowers and Prosecco!
The location was stellar... private and quiet yet only a 2 minute walk to the bustling main street.
Linda and Andrea were always available to offer suggestions on where to eat and what to see.
They even booked the best table for my birthday dinner at an incredible restaurant. The apartment itself was spacious, beautiful, squeaky clean, and very well appointed. The view from the massive terrace was heart stopping. I am not exaggerating when I say we did not ever want to leave. Without a doubt, our stay with Casa Giafari was the BEST experience we have ever had. We will return to Taormina and will only stay here. Thank you Andrea and Linda for making our trip so special.

Impeccable rooms, great sea view & super friendly team!

Excellent customer service

Casa Giafari est notre première expérience en Sicile. Autant dire que nous n’avons pas été déçus ! Cet endroit est tout simplement parfait : emplacement, qualité des prestations et accueil.
Notre appartement « Nina suite » est décoré avec goût et les prestations sont de qualité. Grâce à Andrea, notre hôte, nous avons eu le sentiment d’être comme à la maison. Sa gentillesse, sa disponibilité et ses conseils avisés nous ont permis de passer un merveilleux séjour à Taormina. Merci encore pour tout et notamment pour vos citrons 🍋 😊 A bientôt sans doute !

Siamo stati di recente nel loro “Lighea Apartment”. Che dire? Tutto meraviglioso! Rifiniture di pregio, mobili moderni e di design e vista dal terrazzino privato impagabile! Va menzionata la cortesia, simpatia e disponibilità di Andrea (il proprietario) che ci ha dato ottimi consigli su cosa fare a Taormina nel breve periodo del nostro soggiorno. Torneremo sicuramente (per un soggiorno più lungo!!!!🤩)

A pochi passi dal centro di Taormina, questa Proprietà è l’emblema di come si possa ancora creare delle strutture di altissimo livello, nel centro di piccole realtà come Taormina, nel rispetto dell’ambiente e della Natura che circonda questa piccola “perla” in un’isola meravigliosa come la Sicilia. Il personale che cura la proprietà è operante nei settori del Luxury Lifestyle nonchè con un’esperienza in primari gruppi dell’hospitality internazionale e questo lo si vede nelle continue attenzioni per i Clienti. Non posso che dire e consigliare Casa Giafari in quanto destinata a diventare metà riconosciuta per Clienti sofisticati e di alto livello e che vogliono riservatezza e lusso in un contesto moderno e con il gusto che unisce anche i profili più esigenti. Complimenti

Nous avons passé 10 jours formidables à Casa Giafari. Nous avons occupé l'appartement LIGHEA et la chambre FRANCA. Les deux, décorés avec beaucoup de goût possèdent une terrasse, sont très confortables et parfaitement équipés. La situation dans Taormina est exceptionnelle, à quelques minutes du Corso Umberto. Mention spéciale à l'accueil chaleureux et à la qualité du service apporté par Andrea, l'un des propriétaires de ce bel endroit.
