Nice place but in à middle of nowhere.
Road to get there not easy.
Always need the car to go for dinner.
At the arriving, our host was ok but she seems to be in a rush to give us the détails of the place and on the explanation of the Map to see around.
It was very clean and the pool is nice !

A wonderful place to stay if you are visiting Taormina. We had trouble finding it because the address is not in Waze, but ones we found it it was worth all the troubles. We put the location in Waze, so future guest should have no trouble finding it.

Wonderful stay
Challenging drive up to the property but we’ll worth it. Amazing views and only 5-10 minute drive to Taormina.
Lovely staff, special thanks to Lori for the ‘welcome’ drinks 😋

Sciccosa Guest house is a beautiful property located high up on the hill overlooking Taormina-Giardina. Staff are attentive, clean rooms, amazing view. Great to stay if you have your own car, as cost is 15-20 euro for each trip to beach or town of Taormina.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Sciccosa Guest House. We were greeted warmly with a welcome drink and snacks, were able to leave our bags and head to town as our room wasn’t ready yet and found them safely in our room when we returned.
The Infiniti pool feels private with the most beautiful view. Breakfast was delicious and coffee was soo good!
If you aren’t driving yourself- a taxi to Taormina did cost 20 Euro one way, so can get pricey coming and going. But I still think worth it to stay!

My family and I just got back from the Sciccosa Guest House twelve of us (from the 28th July to the 30th July 2019) for a family wedding in Taormina twelve of us.
The accommodation is beautiful very clean and well maintained. The staff was brilliant , very nice people ,very accommodating nothing was to much trouble for the staff would definitely definitely recommend this accommodation. To go into town it’s about a 12min ride for 20€
Three of us went on a quad biking tour Tao Quad recommend by the accommodation by Simoné at Siccosa thank you, it was brilliant the scenery was exquisite highly recommend. Thank you x I stayed in room one.

The staff and facilities are top class. Great views, gorgeous pool. The location was not good for us. You have to drive every day. Can’t walk to anything. This doesn’t suit us. Next time we would stay down in Guardia Naxos. But if you don’t mind this it is perfect.

Small hotel with very friendly staff; from the moment we arrived until we left.
Room very clean and had great views.
Pool was relaxing area.
Breakfasts were good (limited cooked if that’s what you wanted but fine for us).
Light lunches available at a decent price (not usual hotel extortion!)

The infinity pool was lovely to sit round, the service felt really personal as there are only a few rooms and they really couldn't have been any more helpful.

This place is great
I don't usually write reviews but felt compelled to as we had such a great time stopping here, we stayed for 3 nights and it was amazing.
The room and bathroom were lovely and tastefully decorated, the view from the balcony was great, the swimming pool is superb, the breakfast was tasty and the people at the guest house are amazing very friendly and helpful. Mario saved me a small fortune in parking by advising me where to park, thanks Mario.

Great guesthouse
A very nice guest house, with a good pool. Would strongly recommend staying here. It was clean, modern and good breakfast with very pleasant and helpful staff. Only downside is the slight distance from Taormina centre, which means a car/taxi is necessary.
