Nicely appointed, clean rooms with large bathroom. Nino was very accommodating and friendly. Property has gated/key access for extra security. The home and rooms were very clean and modern. Breakfast was traditional Sicilian style with fresh fruits, breads, coffee and tea. We stayed in late October and were treated to freshly picked persimmon fruits (cachi) and homemade lemon/orange jam (made by Nino's sister). Close drives to Taormina/Isola Bella and the "Godfather" sites in Savoca.

The apartment is new, tidy, fragrant and very clean. The location is simply perfect: it is 3 minutes from Bar Vitelli and the city center with all the tourist attractions and beautiful landscapes that we always hear about.
Near the apartment, you will also find several other restaurant options.
The apartment has all the necessary kitchen utensils, personal hygiene items and the breakfast was varied (toast, croissant, brioche, jams, butter, yogurt, orange juice and milk) and in large quantities.
For parking, ask Maria for a resident pass. The spots are very close to the apartment and always available!
Furthermore, Maria is very kind and careful with details. She received me with tranquility, affection and good conversation.
Savoca was my last stop on my entire trip through Sicily and this apartment certainly had the most beautiful view I've seen in the last days, both at sunset and sunrise.
Thank you very much, Maria! I hope I can stay at your Loft in Savoca again and very soon!

For sure it had to be classified as one of the most beautiful "Borgi" of Italian historic villages (Sicily).
The old , quiet village looks like a Nativity crib, especially at night with its dim lightning and charming Savocans!
The story behind Francis Copolla's "The Godfather" makes it more intresting.
I was very disappointed with the over-priced and money-miser approach of Bar Vitelli...... if you do not sit down and but an expensive Granita .... circa 8 Euro oer person than to just have a photo you are charged 5 euro.
But ignoring Bar Vitelli ill-effect approach, Savoca offers wonderful walks, charming atmosphere and scenery, great vinotecas (Wine bars) and places to eat. It is a place to supreme relaxation away from bustling city noise, eventhough on Wednesday a lots of tourists invade the village.

I picked this area because it has the iconic Godfather locations such as Bar Vitelli and the church from where Michael gets married in part one, being a huge Godfather fan this place was just perfect, very authentic to Sicily and an absolutely stunning view all over, I would definitely go back to Sicily and 100% stay in Savoca

The art throughout Savoca is amazing!
The art throughout Savoca is amazing! The clay stations of the cross (Via Crucis) throughout the village culminates with a walk up short but steep stairs to three crosses at the Hermitage of Monte Calvario reflecting the Risen Lord. And if it's a clear day, you are treated to a beautiful and appropriate view of Mt Etna! This hilltop, medieval village is exceptionally clean and clearly faith filled. IT IS NOT ABOUT THE GODFATHER...although it does host the bar and church which were in the scenes of the movies. While the village has benefited financially from the filming, thankfully it has retained its own identity. It is overrun with tourists who are often only interested in seeing the location of the Godfather scenes and are usually insensitive and oblivious to others around them. The villagers must have the patience of Job!

This is a small hilltop town where part of the Sicilian scenes from the Godfather movie were filmed. Extremely scenic. In October, it was not crowded. When we were here 5 years ago in the summer, it was much more crowded with several tour buses.

A stunning hill top village.
A stunning hill top village. Once in the village visit bar vitelli and sit were Al pachino sat when filming The Godfather part 2. Then miander around the streets ( quite steep in places ) or take a tut tut ride only 3 - 5 euros depending on length of journey. Their is a family run cafe/ bar opposite bar vitelli were you can buy snacks, ice cream etc. There are a few resteraunts dotted about and a couple of wine bars with spectacular views of Saint Teresa, a seaside resort at the bottom of the hill. Also a must visit is Nino a bread maker who sells freshly made breads with ham and cheese or olives baked inside or delicious slices of pizzas. There are stunning ancient churches and a museum to marvel at. All in all a must place to visit.
Nicely appointed, clean rooms with large bathroom. Nino was very accommodating and friendly. Property has gated/key access for extra security. The home and rooms were very clean and modern.

The location is amazing. It is on top of the hill with gorgeous sea views. It is one of those places you always wish you could stay in but never quite managed to find it. The rooms are very clean. Extremely quiet at night. The staff were so helpful and just happy to be of any assistance. Alessandra and Francesca and all the others were amazing. Great service. It is a very challenging drive up so be prepared to drive slowly. But it was all worth it once we made it to the hotel.
Stunning property in a the quaint town of Savoca that was 5 minutes walking from the house. The views of the sea, Mt Etna and Savoca are incredible. Carmelo (owner) is so kind and accommodating, he simply couldn’t do enough for us. The house itself is brand new and absolutely pristine. The beds were comfortable and having a bathroom for nearly every room was great. Savoca sits in a perfect location to get to Taormina and easy to get to Messina and Catania as well.
Your own private mountain house with all modern amenities and a large terrace with stunning mountain and sea views. Tucked away in a very quiet environment but within walking distance from the magnificent village Savoca with its narrow streets, its nice shops, wine bars, multiple and diverse restaurants from authentic wood-oven
pizza to, local trattoria and more fancy-pants cuisine. By car just 8 minutes drive from the lavish beaches.
I had a very good stay at this Airbnb in beautiful Savoca. The host was really nice and left us coffee, some fruit and beverages in the fridge. The house itself was one of the best I’ve experienced for the price; it’s big, has everything you might need and has a beautiful view of the hills.
It's important to note that Savoca can be a challenging place to navigate by car as roads are narrow. Overall, a very good experience.
Beautiful small bed and breakfast, with clean and spacious rooms, a nice backyard with a swimming pool, and a truly dedicated and nice owner who really wants you to feel welcome. She will give you suggestions for things to do and see, and do the booking and reservations for you, and make sure you have a great time in Sicily.
What a lovely beautiful setting and place .
The staff could not do any more to better your stay, best place we have stayed at and good value.
We have stayed in some lovely places over the years but this location we fabulous.
Would recommend to anyone wishing to go to Sicily .
The owner was very friendly and always smile.. My flight was delayed and he wait me until 11:30 at night. The breakfast was very good with some homemade food. Nice chat with him even I don't speak Italian and he speak little English. He also show us his small garden.
We were welcomed by the sweetest young lady. We felt right at home as soon as we arrived. We thought we would try Google maps and that was a HUGE mistake. It took us to a very dangerous road. Be sure and follow the hotel’s road instructions and turn GPS off.
The host Christel welcomed us so warmly, and was helpful and gracious throughout our stay. A highlight was the bountiful and tasty breakfast. For “Godfather” fans, the location is a perfect base to explore the enchanting hilltop town of Savoca.
Beautiful village, clean and comfortable room, very caring and positive host Daniele. Breakfast on the terrace with most delicious cornetti and good coffee. I can only say, it is one of the best experiences in Sicily ❤️ grazie mille!
Location excellent next to Godfather sites. Great views from balcony of the sea and Church from the godfather. Pristine clean. Great amenities and service. Very comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended@
Comfortable terrace with beautiful view, friendly hosts, good location near Taormina, old town in Savoca and Isola Bella. It was very clean and good communication with hosts.
Lovely villa, amazing location and views of Etna. Pool a welcome addition in the heat. Private parking a bonus in Sicily. Guiseppe was very welcoming and easy to contact .
The owners are very kind, they welcomed us warmly. If we return to the area, we will definitely return to this b&b.
