Company information

I was born and raised in Taormina. I love and live Taormina and Sicily with a passion. I teach physical education. I enjoy working with children and young people who are often the children of past students of mine. I have traveled through many continents, often as a backpacker, using public transport to reach interesting spots outside of the beaten track. My passion for travel has brought me to places like Central America, the USA, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Australia, as well as many countries in Europe. I speak many languages and travelling I have stayed in a very diverse range of accommodation. In my opinion travelling is a great life experience as I think it is for my guests whom I welcome with friendliness in my home. I try to offer the best of myself and of my home country.

Property information

The Dolphin’s Guest House opened in 2001. It was my dream to transform the home I inherited from my family, located in the center of Taormina in a place to welcome people whom, like me, wish to visit a location being in contact with the locals and in a less formal environment. I try to achieve this while keeping the necessary comforts also for whom may want to stay for a longer period. It is for this reason that I offer the availability of a kitchen space. The Dolphins Guest House is located in a privileged position with nature’s views, enjoyable from our lounge, and tranquil atmosphere. I strive to continually perfect The Dolphins Guest House to meet the needs of my guests, who often come back and of whom I often have warm memories.

Neighbourhood information

Taormina, also known as “the pearl of the Ionian sea” has a long history of tourism and hospitality beginning with the great travelers such as Goethe. In a privileged position between the Etna volcano and the sea, Taormina enjoys breathtaking views. History, culture and the suitable connections with the rest of the island make the town the ideal location for short or longer stays. Many companies offer tours to other popular destinations which depart from here. In summer the sea and warm weather are enjoyed by many visitors. Taormina is also the location of a prestigious Italian language school, and as such it is favored by people wanting to improve their language skills as well as take pleasure in exploring Italian culture. The town center abounds in shops, cafes and restaurants, making days and evenings pleasant and relaxing.
