点评:Casa Cuseni is unlike any place we have ever stayed. This extraordinary historic villa — a UNESCO-listed national monument — is not simply a hotel; it is a living work of art.
The location is perfect — right in the heart of Taormina yet tucked away from the tourist bustle, with everything within easy walking distance. And the views from the property are, in our opinion, the finest in all of Taormina — the sweep of the Ionian Sea, the bay, and Mount Etna is simply breathtaking and something we will never forget.
Breakfast is a genuine highlight — beautifully presented, generous, and enjoyed every morning with that incomparable panorama.
What makes Casa Cuseni truly exceptional, however, is the warmth and grace of the people who bring it to life. Proprietors Mimma and Francesco welcome guests with genuine warmth and a deep pride in the villa's extraordinary heritage. The wonderful Maria took us on a personal tour of the museum, and we were completely amazed by the history — the famous artists, writers and intellectuals who stayed within these very walls, from Greta Garbo and Roald Dahl to Bertrand Russell and Pablo Picasso. It is one thing to read about it; it is another to stand in those rooms and feel it. The rest of the staff — Maddalena, Alessandra, and Catena — were attentive, kind, and effortlessly professional throughout our stay.
If you are looking for a hotel room, look elsewhere. If you are looking for an experience you will carry with you for the rest of your life, look no further than Casa Cuseni.
翻译:Casa Cuseni与我们住过的任何地方都截然不同。这座极具历史价值的别墅被列为联合国教科文组织保护的国家级古迹,它不仅仅是一家酒店,更是一件活生生的艺术品。
地理位置极其优越——坐落于陶尔米纳的中心地带,却又远离游客喧嚣,所有景点和设施都步行即可到达。在我们看来,从这里欣赏到的景色堪称陶尔米纳最佳:爱奥尼亚海的壮丽全景以及整个海湾的优美风光尽收眼底。埃特纳火山的美景简直令人叹为观止,是我们永远都不会忘记的画面。
早餐绝对是一大亮点——摆盘精美、分量十足,每天早晨我们都能在无与伦比的全景视野中享用早餐。
不过,让Casa Cuseni真正与众不同的,还是那些赋予它生机的人的热情与优雅。店主Mimma和Francesco以真挚的热情欢迎每一位客人,并对这座别墅的非凡历史深感自豪。可爱的Maria还亲自带我们参观了博物馆。我们被这里的历史深深折服——从葛丽泰·嘉宝、罗尔德·达尔到伯特兰·罗素和巴勃罗·毕加索,无数著名的艺术家、作家和知识分子都曾在这堵墙内生活过。阅读相关记载是一回事,而亲自站在那些房间里去感受则又是另一回事了。在我们逗留期间,其他工作人员——玛达莱娜、亚历山德拉和卡特娜——也都细心周到、和蔼可亲,且表现得极其专业。
如果你只是想找一间普通酒店客房,那还是另找别处吧。若你想获得一段终生难忘的体验,那么Casa Cuseni绝对是不二之选。
