The room we stayed in is gorgeous, very clean and private. The view over the wonderful bay from the balcony is amazing. Also amazing was our host, Maria Grazia, who gave us so many great suggestions for local restaurants and activities when we arrived. And during our stay, she was very helpful, friendly, and attentive. The cable car is just around the corner, which was helpful. We loved being so near the beach rather than up in Taormina. We spent some days at the beach and evenings in Taormina. Breakfast was served in a location just over the road, lovely staff, typical continental style buffet but a great choice, again great views over the bay plus lovely staff. After a beautiful 7-day stay in Mazzarò/Taormina, I would love to go back, and A Due Passi dal Mare is the only place I would stay!

Beautiful room with a beautiful view and a new adjoining bathroom. I wish we had more time. A few minutes walk from the cable car. Several restaurants nearby. A 3-minute walk to the beach or 10 minutes to the famous Isola Bella beach. Great central location. We were also able to borrow a beach umbrella, a float, or beach shoes. Thank you.

roland

Excellent location, magnificent view. Perfect welcome from the owners with little welcome gifts. Very clean room, good equipment. Very comfortable bed. Only one point to review: the breakfast, even though it is nearby with a magnificent view of the bay, the quality is not up to the place and the welcome. Despite this, I highly recommend.

Maria Grazia has a talent and kindness that make you feel like a guest at friends' house. A prima donna.

The answer from the host:
Siete stati degli ospiti fantastici. Dal primo giorno vi ho sentiti parte della mia famiglia. Avete arricchito una parte del mio cuore. I rapporti umani dovrebbero essere il motore del mondo.

sandra

Excellent accommodation and attention. Maria is a genius, she gave us all the indications about the places to visit, besides being very attentive, she left us something delicious to taste every day. Without a doubt I recommend it!

stayed from 06/10/2023 to 06/13/2023

The answer from the host:
Cara Sandra. Grazie per le belle parole. Sono stata felice di ospitarvi. Siete delle persone straordinarie.

vincenzo

Management of the structure is conducted with love and intransigence. These motivations ensure that the offspring of Mrs. Mariagrazia, alias 'A Due Passi dal Mare', is a high-quality product. The attentions reserved for guests complete the work. The only service delegated is breakfast and the result is not up to the standard of everything else, despite being more than decent.

Exceptional! Very kind managers, very welcoming, always available, clear and structured. They don't miss anything in the apartment. The welcome wine is just what you need, an exemplary gesture. Spectacular sea view.

Beautiful location in front of the Mazzarò bay, Mariagrazia and her husband are friendly and give lots of tips on places to see and where to eat. Also, it is at the foot of the cable car to go up to Taormina. Beautiful island, within 5 minutes walk, top.

stayed from 07/15/2022 to 07/17/2022

davide

Spectacular location, right above the bay of Mazzarò and a stone's throw from the cable car station to Taormina. Maria Grazia was very kind in providing us with all the useful explanations to make us spend a wonderful holiday. The excellent breakfast is served in the restaurant room of a neighboring hotel with a sea view terrace. Everything beautiful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

marta

Great structure, the location is beautiful both in relation to the beach and the center of Taormina! Maria Grazia, who provided valuable information for visiting the places and the gastronomic resources of Taormina, was very kind and friendly. The parking is also easily accessible, just a stone's throw from the b&b. Highly recommended.

Grazie signora Marta. È stato un piacere.

serena

We stayed only two nights and it was a real shame because the structure, the location, and the owners deserve much more. Our triple room for two adults and a girl was beautiful and new, very spacious, with two separate areas for the double and single beds, a very large bathroom with a comfortable shower, and a balcony with a wonderful sea view. Upon our arrival, the owners welcomed us with great hospitality and kindness, even finding the fridge stocked with water, tea, and a prosecco as well as some chips for the child offered by them. Furthermore, the landlady gave us some very welcome advice on where to go to the sea and where to eat well. In the morning, breakfast was served in a nearby place where the property was located, serving us an excellent breakfast consisting of orange juice, water, small sandwiches, a plain croissant, a slice of cake, jams and butter, Nutella, and cappuccino and coffee. All strictly served at the table in full compliance with COVID regulations. I must say that our stay in this structure can only deserve a nice 10 because the cleanliness, the kindness, the beautiful rooms, and how much the owners care about their business must reward them. We will return and recommend the property to everyone.

Great location, clean and quality rooms, professional and helpful managers. It was a pleasure. Sicilian hospitality remains in the heart and soul. It's in their DNA, Maria Grazia and Andrea are two certainties. You can go with your eyes closed.

stayed from 07/09/2021 to 07/14/2021

The answer from the host:
Caro Francesco, tu e la tua bella famiglia non siete stati di meno. Vi ringraziamo per le belle parole e spero proprio di venirvi a trovare appena saliremo su a Trieste. Un abbraccio, Maria Grazia e Andrea.

Fresh property, tastefully furnished, managed and cared for on a daily basis directly by the owners. Located in Mazzarò, a stone's throw from the cable car to Taormina and the urban and touristic bus. There is also a stop for intercity buses but few stop there. Always in the immediate vicinity is the beach (equipped or free) of Mazzarò. Isola Bella is a 5-minute walk away. There are at least three good quality restaurants in the area (+ others quite decent). Our room (blue suite) can comfortably accommodate 3 people. Beautiful panorama from the window with a special mention for the sunrise seen directly from the bed. The owners have been courteous, attentive, helpful, never intrusive.

stayed from 08/15/2020 to 08/22/2020

The answer from the host:
Cari Domenico e Anna Lisa, grazie, già mi mancate. Siete una coppia davvero sorprendente che sa godersi la vita, organizzandosi al meglio e senza inutili sprechi di tempo. Persone nobili d’animo, attente e rispettose. Ospiti dolcissimi, sappiate che mi resterete in cuore. Grazie.

At the B&B of Maria Grazia and Andrea, I spent an unforgettable week. Excellent welcome and management of the structure by the owners, always attentive to cleanliness and ensuring the best services for their guests, with their valuable advice and friendliness. The B&B is in a truly strategic position to fully enjoy the beauties of the area, and by following their advice, you can also appreciate the true culinary wonders. I plan to return as soon as possible, thanks for everything.

stayed from 10/11/2018 to 10/18/2018

The answer from the host:
Grazie a te Laura per averci regalato attimi così belli, nonostante la pioggia. Ti abbiamo sentito parte della nostra famiglia e son certa adesso che gli arancini diventeranno il tuo pezzo forte in cucina. Spero di rincontrarti presto, Maria grazia.

deborah

An extraordinary location, a breathtaking view, spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Unfortunately, only the bathrooms are rather small for technical reasons. Exceptional staff, always available with a smile and great courtesy, ready to give advice and work to help customers have a pleasant stay. I would come back. Thanks to everyone.

The property, equipped with all the comforts and furnished with personality and attention to details, is strategically located for access to the beaches and the cable car that connects them to Taormina. The cleanliness is of the highest standard. The breakfast, varied and complete, continental style, is provided at the adjacent 'Baia Azzurrà Hotel (4 stars). Guests also have access to a large equipped kitchen, which, besides being quite 'practical', makes the stay here even more 'family-friendly and comfortable. The added value of this B&B is certainly represented by the warmth, enthusiasm, and quality of the welcome from Maria Grazia and Andrea, who made us feel truly 'at home'.

The answer from the host:
Miei cari, avervi avuto a casa nostra è stato dono prezioso. Ogni giorno pillole di saggezza, risate e condivisione. Siamo molto felici che abbiate scelto la nostra struttura. Spero di incontrarvi presto. Chissà forse riusciremo a salire noi da quelle parti. Baci bella coppia.

Very beautiful, new room with a fantastic view of the bay of Mazzarò. Good location, close to the cable car that leads directly to the center of Taormina. Easily reachable on foot the Isola Bella beach. Useful for a quick lunch, the kitchen is equipped with everything necessary for guests. Owners are kind and available to provide all the information. Varied breakfast at the hotel adjacent to the property. Conventional parking available nearby.

claudio

Very well-kept rooms, kind and caring managers, full of advice, spectacular view from the room, excellent location near the cable car so you can go up to the center without moving the car, on foot you can reach beautiful island. The only downside is the heavy traffic when you go out but since you go out in the morning and come back in the evening the inconvenience is minimal.

Gentile Signor Claudio, la ringraziamo di cuore per la sua bella recensione. Il traffico purtroppo è davvero incontenibile ma basta organizzarsi un po' per evitare gli sprechi di tempo. Un caro saluto. Maria Grazia e Andrea.

alessandra

Everything was great, except for the breakfast that took place at the Baia Azzurra hotel next door: breakfast with machine or packaged products, sea view obscured by the curtains lowered for the sun, with such a view I would have let all the sun in. Obviously, how breakfast is organized at the hotel is not the B&B's responsibility, but I would recommend finding other affiliated structures, even bars if necessary, where breakfast can be fresh.

stayed from 07/01/2017 to 07/02/2017

The answer from the host:
Gentile Signora Alessandra, intanto la ringrazio di cuore per la sua bella recensione. In merito alla colazione, invece, ho provato a contattarla per avere maggiori spiegazioni o delucidazioni in merito in quanto finora i nostri clienti si son solo ampiamente complimentati. La nostra colazione è composta da salato e dolce. Salumi, insaccati, formaggi, uova, wurstel con pomodoro, tartine, crostate, plum-cake, pasticceria con crema di ricotta cioccolato, cornetti, biscotti, alimenti senza glutine e tanto altro ancora, oltre alle fette biscottate e marmellate confezionate di cui scrive. Per questo motivo desideravo sapere esattamente cosa per lei non fosse andato bene. Forse avete fatto colazione oltre l'orario previsto, ma comunque noi tutti siamo qui per servirvi e per rendere ogni attimo, della vostra vacanza, indimenticabile. Sarebbe bastato chiedere se desideravate qualcosa in particolare. Riguardo alle tende abbassate per il sole, quella è un'accortezza adottata bonariamente nei confronti dei clienti ma credo che sarebbe bastato anche qui chiedere di alzarle per poter godere della vista mare anche a colazione. Un caro saluto, Maria Grazia Resto a sua disposizione per ulteriori chiarimenti qualora lo desiderasse.

I stayed with my husband for one night at this B&B and we were very satisfied with both the accommodation and the hospitality of the owners who made themselves available to meet all our requests. Our room, the blue suite, had a balcony with an exceptional sea view, was very clean, tastefully furnished, with new furniture. The location of the B&B is very convenient as it is a stone's throw from both the beautiful beach of Mazzarò and the stunning beach of Isola bella, as well as the cable car to Taormina. Nearby there is a private parking lot (10 euros per day) where we left the car on arrival and picked it up on departure. Definitely recommendable!

Grazie signora Giovanna, è stato piacevole chiacchierare con voi e un onore potervi ospitare. Maria Grazia e Andrea.
