We had a significant delay in our arrival due to our airplane issues. So we did not arrive at the hotel until 2 in the morning and there was a clerk there 24/7 to check us in. All of the staff was wonderful. The hotel was spotless and the breakfast was an amazing selection with breathtaking views.

Old style hotel with great views over the sea and to Mt Etna, including from the breakfast/dining room. Close to the old town for easy access but just outside so it's quiet (okay, some wave sounds). Great terrace for afternoon coffee or apero. If you're looking for a modern hotel, this isn't your hotel. But if you're looking for old world charm, it fits the bill.

No food available for lunch. Had dinner there. Our orders were delivered less than 10 minutes after ordered and beautifully presented on the plate. Service was so fast the meals must have already been prepared and under a heat lamp for a while. Rabbit was dry.
Having the shuttle was a definite bonus. Easy access and parking at hotel.

Stunning Taormina, full of heartbreaking corners and history...
Stunning Taormina, full of heartbreaking corners and history. Our enthusiasm had to face the reality of a pricy place. Disappointment in meeting insisting members of staff from the hospitality field, who sometimes looked desperately in need of customers for their restaurants, bars, boat trips. Etc..Parking is very expensive but we appreciated the free shuttle service to the city center.

Taormina has beautiful views with pretty venitian buildings, very historical. The food is delicious, as it's a prime tourist location the price of dining out does reflect this. The service in restaurants is good, I found staff to be friendly. The bus station at Interbus terminal is in easy walking distance and it's a short bus ride to Giuardini Naxos beach which is sandy. Waiting times for buses can be long if you miss the bus. Cost of one way ticket for 3 people just under 6 euros. The cost of the journey on bus from Taormina to Catania airport is cheap, 21 Euros for 3 people. Cost of a taxi from the airport to Taormina is a bit expensive at 100 euros, but you can get the interbus which is a cheaper option but will take longer. Our journey by Taxi to Valentina B&B was around 1 hour and was arranged by the lovely lost Loredana at Valentina B&B. Our driver Giuseppe was polite , friendly and provided lots of tips about the location and places to eat etc. Try the paste marandela Sicilian cookies, almond flavour is delicious, also the Arancini, a good savoury snack filled with rice with different fillings. Try the tomato & veg one, delicious.Lucios restaurant was fantastic, staff friendly. And Di foesteria, opposite Valentina B&B where you can have breakfast or brunch, very good quality and nice staff.

The apartment was close to all amenities and the Bus station is a 10 minute walk. The apartment is beautifully set up and has a washing machine which was a great help. It provided enough coffee and biscuits for our stay. At night there is no noise from the main street and the bed was super comfortable. Overall it was perfect for our stay and great value for money. Many thanks to Isabella our host.

An interesting and intriguing city through the stories and symbols that surround it. A lot to go up and down, so you need comfortable shoes and some physical condition, many interesting points of attraction full of history, interesting places, but the prices seemed a bit high for the month of March. All in all, it's a place worth seeing and exploring.

Taormina is so pittoresque and beautiful!
Taormina is so pittoresque and beautiful! A view of all the italian cliches that you can think of! It has it all: great views of the sea and the Etna Volcano, beautiful beaches, orange trees all over the place and last but not least, awesome food! Sicilian have different types of food and I especially enjoyed arancini and the sweets! Overall, it has a really great vibe!
We had the best stay at this hotel! All of the staff were extremely courteous and Sabina at the front desk was exceptionally welcoming and accommodating to all of our needs. I would recommend staying here based on her service alone! The room and bathroom were comfortable, spacious, and extremely clean. The hotel is a quick 10 min walk to the restaurants and shops in Taormina. The buffet breakfast was delicious. Enjoying it on the roof top that had amazing ambiance and views to include Mt. Etna in the distance made for an amazing experience!
We really enjoyed the hotel, location and territory. Attention to the guests , you can feel from the first second. We would like to thank receptionist manager Salvatore, very caring and professional, lifeguard Giovanni (service on the beach was great ), barmen Roberto, and all the staff.
The sea was amazing , beach, music, drinks and good breakfast. Thanks for manager Giuseppe Trefiletti for a compliment champagne.
Grazzie mille for hotel management. Our holiday was amazing, we would like to come back.
Friendly staff, 24-7 concierge service, parking, great location - near Taormina cable car and with private beach
The breakfast versatility was quite limited , yet the dining terrace was amazing. We also enjoyed the restaurant evening meals - good quality and moderate pricing
We left the hotel before breakfast and got some early food packages prepared specially for us.
The wooden furniture and room design patterns date back to early 1970s, but as everything in Italy - it has the style and good vibes
Great location. The hotel is just near the sea. Stockholm Spisone beach is sandy and free to use. It was a joy to take our time in the beach just a stone throw away from the room. The cable car is 10 min away by walking. Isola Bella beach is 15 min away from the room. The bus station to visit Taormina centre is just in front of the hotel and very easy to access. There are private beaches and restaurants around. It was an amazing holiday and I would like to thank you Guiseppe, the amazing host.
I booked here at the last minute because I wanted to stay 2 more days in Taormina, so I didn't know what to expect. In the end, the house, room, and owners were extremely lovely. The view from the room was amazing, the location is super central, the room was spacious, and breakfast was satisfying. Melina and her daughter were super helpful and did their best to make my stay pleasant. Staying at hotels makes me feel like a tourist, but this place helped me feel like a local
This is an exceptional property with a spectacular view of Taormina and Mt Etna and yet another example of the wonderful properties that we stayed in whilst traveling around Sicily. Whilst the hotel was a little dated we loved its ambience, the welcoming staff and the generous breakfasts that we enjoyed on the patio overlooking the pool. Parking on the property was an added bonus. We highly recommend this property and would go back again in a heartbeat.
Great location in a quiet street overlooking the gulf of Taormina, but not far from the centre of the city. Restaurants and shops easily reachable.
The sea view from the room I booked is breathtaking. I lived sitting on the balcony and watch the sunrise, the sunset and everything in between. Even the bathroom has a window with sea view! The hotel ans the rooms are kept clean. The staff is friendly and helpful.
The view from our room (24) was spectacular. This small hotel is a gem with very helpful staff, a beautiful courtyard that comes with a friendly dog and our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast included the usual pastries plus eggs, yogurts, bacon and fruit. Coffee was delicious and made as ordered. The hotel is across the street from the bus station and well located within Taormina.
Unassuming on the outside the hotel is built into the side of the hill with stunning sea views. The rooftop restaurant was jaw dropping, the pool cool and uncrowded and the staff genuinely welcoming. We were sailing around Sicily so one night ashore was a touch of luxury with a fantastically comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom and dinner in the evening was five star.
The location of the hotel is perfect and right in the centre of things in Taormina. The hotel has a authentic Sicilian charm with beautiful sea views from the balcony. But what made this place was the host and how helpful and advised us on excursions, restaurants and getting around. We would highly recommend this hotel for anyone who wants to visit Taormina.
Hotel was in a good location, not far from the centre of Taormina, so easy access to most of the attractions in the area. We had a lovely view of the sea from our room and the room was clean and well kept. The hotel staff were very friendly and provided us some great recommendations for places to eat, they spoke good English, which made it very easy for us.
I wish I could this property more then 5 stars. The apartment was exceptionally clean. The bed was so comfortable. The shower was absolutely lovely too. Easy parking right on the street in front of the apartment too. This was our fourth place we have stayed in Italy/Sicily and it was by far the best, cleanest, and most comfortable place we have stayed.
Absolutely stunning hotel. My favourite spot in Sicily. Hotel facilities and grounds were amazing. Staff were very nice and cleaners were very prompt. Our room seem to always be serviced when we returned to it no matter the time of day. Very comfortable beds. Cute balconies with sea views. Breakfast buffet and dinner at the restaurant was 5 star.
great location in the bustling centre of Taormina. we had an apartment next to the main hotel building with a well equipped kitchen and good facilities. Hotel reception very friendly and helpful. Although breakfast wasn’t included in the price with the apartment, the option was available to pay for it, which we did one day.
Tremendous location as close to the sea as you can get in Taormina. The host was exceedingly helpful and they provided lovely goodies to enhance the stay. These were all appreciated and very lovely touches.
It is very 5 star modern which isn’t that common in Sicily in our experience.
The hotel is on a nice beach and has also a nice swimming pool area. The hotel offers a good service of shuttle bus to Taormina town which is about three kilometers up hill, this is plus because public parking in Taormina is limited. Good breakfast in the garden.
