The location was perfect- very easy to go by car to Savoca, Taormina, Messina, Catania, etc. There is a private parking with a big metal gate. We felt very safe. It was extremely clean in the room and in the common areas. There was well equipped kitchen and not the least the owner was very nice guy who also served breakfast although it was not mentioned when we booked the room.

Savoca It's a lovely apartment where you can sit on the terrace and have the best view with coffee. The valley and cathedral in front of you are even more fantastic at night. It was very helpful to have a kitchen and washing machine, and it is safe and convenient to park because you gave me a resident parking card. It's a place I want to listen to again with the consideration of the kind owner.

We had a wonderful four-night stay at the Lemon House, be prepared to experience a fabulous Bed & Breakfast!
The English home is just exceptional, pristine and full of love. The owner Christel and her lovely teen daughter Emma are truly warm and caring, they make you feel like family right from the start.
The rooms are beautifully decorated, the plush bed came with luxurious linens and ours had French doors overlooking the handsome, rectangular turquoise pool.
The breakfast was not only beautifully displayed but very tasty, high quality and vast. Emma prepared the best delicious gourmet eggs and great cappuccinos! ; )
Christel is fantastic. A classy lady that speaks almost every language and pays great attention to detail was super helpful with planning our stay in Savoca. She provided us an excellent list of restaurants and beach clubs in the near and kindly helped book all reservations for us. Every placed we visited was top notch!
Lemon House is about only a 20-min car ride to Taormina, perfect for a day at the beach club or exploring the city and returning home to lovely dinners at the beautiful Sicilian villages.
Parking is always available, secure and free of charge on the street just outside the House.
Our stay at Lemon House was a very special time and one we will never forget.
Thank you Christel and Emma!
Absolute recommendation!

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.
We really enjoyed our stay in Verdello Home! We were group of 7 people and occupied 4 rooms. The hotel is new so all the rooms were very clean, nicely equipped spaced enough and comfortable. The rooms on the second floor has nice view on the see.
The hotel provides private parking. It´s well located - close to the highway so easy to travel around the island. The sea (with the beach) and the restaurants are in walking distance (10-15 min).
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good (delicious croissants every day).
Daniele make us the best day of our vacation in Sicily!
Savoca is so quiet beautiful and personal place. You have to take a walk before the sun set or in the morning just after the sun rise. we went through the village and met Daniele. he invite us for a wine. We had a feeling that we live here and just met friends;)
The apartment is very new and is very modern and comfortable. The heating system works well and the view from the balcony is the highlight! from the balcony you get the best view of the Church of Godfather‘s marriage!
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.
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.
Savoca is a medieval city and the resort is amazing - service is excellent, friendly, always with a smile and going out of their way to make your stay exceptional. Breakfast is equally efficient and all items were fresh . Special thank you to Francesca and the team for making our family holiday special and memorable! Our baby daughter also loved it especially the croissants:) We will definitely be back !
This hotel provided an unforgettable experience with its prime location and exceptional service. The owner went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The private terrace offered breathtaking views during breakfast, and the owner’s recommendations for dinner at the best local restaurants were spot on. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay.
Very tidy, good smelling appartment situated directly in city center. Host was super nice even though speaking mostly Italian, google translator helped :-) she recommended great places to eat, it was really excellent. In order to show us where to park, she waited for us at the town entrance to navigate us. Absolutely stunning view from the appartment.
We found the hotel to be very new and clean, but the best part about it is the fact that Christel is very helpful in organizing dinners, trips to Etna/beach etc. She'll call for you the restaurants and the other facilities. The breakfast was also great. We felt very good at Lemon House and fell in love with the village nearby - Savoca.
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.
this property is amazing, the rooms are lovely. view from the balcony is exceptional. I will most definitely be returning to this hotel. staff were excellent, very welcoming and extremely helpful. this was a last minute booking.
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@
The most comfortable apartment we have been in Sicily. You just got everything you need. We will definitely recommend. Kitchen well equipped, new bathroom, hot water, and a nice host.
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 .
