You must try... Highly recommended!
From the moment we arrived, we have received great hospitality from Tamara and Lio. They made our day by realize that our vocation started right there.
Professional management team, wonderful sea view from the hill, new rooms, safe and convenient parking lot (inside of thr property). Above all, the golden location to cover Sadova, Taormina, Castelmola and Mt. Etna. Of course, if you wish to settle down for a beautiful beach day, the coastline, beach and sea view restaurants /cafes are just steps away... Especially ideal for travellers with car. It is a sweet spot where close enough to everything, every hot sightseeing spots, but you could still feel the sense of calm, peace, charm and relaxation.
B&B Il Padrino is located in Savoca and is named after the film The Godfather as the director Francis Ford Coppola stayed here during filming. It offers rooms with views of Mount Etna.

Excellent location offering lovely views of Savoca. The place is within walking distance of this beautiful medieval city. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Very welcoming host! Highly recommended!

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. 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 house is located in the top center of Savoca. We had a 1 week vacation in Sicilly and stayed in different hotels every day - this house was our best choice and the biggest surprise of the journey. Our host was very very kind and made us the most delicious breakfast. The house is decorated with style, there is a kitchen, that we could use freely and a balcony with great view! We highly recommend staying there and if we get the chance, we will stay there for more than one night!
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.
Spacious and extremely clean rooms with terrace, spotless bathroom, soft towels, shower with very strong watter pressure, free safe parking behind the hotel and very polite and responsive staff. If you stay here and have a car, dont miss to visit a village Savoca, only 3km away, uphill. Go early, before tourist crowds and enoy a walk thru the village where the first Godfather was fiilmed.
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.
Our best stay in Sicily and one of our best travel experiences ever. The hospitality and staff are without equal. Vittorio is a stellar host. The food and wine are delicious. The view is spectacular, and the town is small, welcoming, quaint, and relatively undiscovered. I am looking for an opportunity to return.
Everything!
Location is excellent, in the centre of the town. Walk to everything.
The property is so comfortable, we could easily stay longer. So peaceful, a perfect getaway!
The owner was so friendly and arranged a transfer for us to travel to Messina the next day.
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.
Hostess Christel & daughter Emma are pearls ! Besides a phenomenal stay, Christel will spoil you with suggestions on trips and restaurants, all of which are delightful. The love for Sicily is clear & contagious. Thank you so much for adding to our visit to Sicily !
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 location of the property in the mountainous village of Savoca is exceptional. The view extends on the sea as well as the mountain. The staff and Vittorio, the owner, are very friendly and kind.
Very kind and helpful owner. The facilities are good. Sea view from the room. Nice good view of Savoca and Forza D'Agro' from the balcony. We would stay here again next time on Sicily!
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.
