Charming early 20th century property with amazing views and lots of character. Onsite parking is tight but staff will help to park the car. Breakfast is very good and served in a room with views.

The Jewel in the Sicilian Crown
As you admire crystal-clear turquoise seas from a Taormina piazza swathed in vibrant pink blossom, you could be forgiven for thinking that you were in paradise. The stunning location of this picturesque town is its crowning glory.
However, it’s not its only glory. Surrounded by trees just below the main town, the Greek Theatre is also a triumph. Its largely intact seating offers wonderful views across the stage towards Mount Etna fuming away in the distance. Spine-tingling summer performances are still held here, and several of the town’s bars also offer live music.
Corso Umberto I runs through the heart of Taormina, from Piazza Corvaja to the 13th-century cathedral, and houses many shops and cafés. Midway along is Piazza IX Aprile, whose clock tower and church are overlooked by a rocky hill topped with a castle.
A cable car runs from the town down to the beautiful Taormina beaches (where the train station is also found). At the centre of the W-shaped bay is little Isola Bella, an island nature reserve. To the south-west is the long stretch of sand at Giardini-Naxos, and north is the bay by Mazzaró.
As you would expect of Sicily’s most beautiful resort, there is no shortage of Taormina accommodation on Booking.com, including 5-star hotels on the beach, town centre apartments and luxury B&Bs.
Taormina is a good base-point for tours of Mt Etna.
Taormina is a good base-point for tours of Mt Etna. There are probably more tours running from Catania, but you can get a good tour from Taormina. The city itself is touristy, but clean and well organized. I won't throw the word "safe" out there, as we felt safe everywhere in Sicily, but we felt very comfortable in Taormina. Of course the sights and history don't compare to the bigger places in Sicily such as Siracusa, Palermo, or Agrigento, but that's not Taormina.

The city/village of Taormina was great for sightseeing.
The city/village of Taormina was great for sightseeing. We visited the ancient amphitheater, and enjoyed hiking in the area. There were an abundance of good shops and restaurants to visit. The City public park was a wonderful mix of trees and walking paths with some amazing “follies” - odd and artistic small buildings, built to entertain the eye.

The location of Taormina looking down to the coast is very beautiful. There was plenty to explore for a few days e.g. the Ancient Theatre, the beach at Isola Bella within walking distance or by cable car. For us the highlight was a visit to the hilltop village of Castelmola which provided fantastic views, including snow capped Mount Etna.
The main drawback of Taormina is the fact it is rather crowded even in late April when we visited. Also there are too many shops selling the same tourist tat.

The Taormina area is wonderful.
The Taormina area is wonderful. The mountains, the water, the history. Getting around needs a bit of planning. Taxi, bus or cablecar/lift unless you don´t mind to walk up and down hill. :-) I´ll be back.

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.
Hotel is atop a mountain approximately 500m above sea level. Lovely staff, nice swimming pool and jacuzzi with amazing background scenery of the mountainous Taormina region of Sicily. You also get amazing views of the neighbouring Giardini Naxos beach and even an unobstructed view of Mount Etna. Lovely continental breakfast every morning. Room was good size with kitchenette, porch area and they even provided an extra cot bed as the bed was not big enough for the three of us (room was right size for 2adults and a small child)
excellent boutique hotel and super well located within the historic center of Taormina next to the best restaurants and shops. Brand new hotel very well decorated and equipped and the hostess Antonio and Sonia were also exceptional giving several tips and information about Taormina and the other cities of Sicily. I highly recommend! The breakfast is excellent and Senhor Antonio's cappuccino is one of the best I've ever had. we will be back for sure!
Hotel Sirius's location is excellent, just a short walk away from the cable car and Corso Umberto. The valet parking service was very convenient. I enjoyed the delicious breakfast and coffee, especially scrambled eggs. The view from our room was unmatched, absolutely breathtaking. The hotel's pool was very nice; we enjoyed spritzes with great poolside views. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return the next time I visit Taormina.
The hotel is right on the Isola Bella beach (which is stunning!) and has designated tanning beds and staff that takes care of everything you need while you are on the beach. We stayed in a bongalo which was relatively small but quiet. Breakfast was excellent. There is free parking if you are coming by car. The restaurants in the hotel were very good. Very close to the cable car that takes you to Taormina city center.
Giuseppe was absolutely fantastic. He made an intentional effort every day to ensure that our experience in Taormina was perfect. What I admire most about him, is the pride he takes in his family business.
The rooms were exceptionally clean, the staff was extremely friendly and the breakfast was outstanding! Not to mention the location of the hotel is perfect.
We could not recommend this hotel enough!
This place is a gem! By far the best level of service we experienced during our time in Sicily. The location is perfect: on a quiet street just 3 minutes walk to the bustling center of Taormina. Rooms are spacious, beds comfortable and amenities comparable to those offered by a 5 star hotel. Loved the personal touches and the time taken to show us around. Definitely the place to stay in Taormina.
Everything was in the apartment and It looked clean. Nice little balcony for yourself with an amazing view over the ocean and Isola Bella. A busstop right in front of the hotel that takes you to the station.
The check in was great. The worker told me how to get into the town of Taormina, explained very well where I could find the centre and was very polite.
The hotel has good location, close to the Taormina city, where you can get using funicular. The other advantage is that the hotel has it’s own beach, so you don’t need to pay for the sunbeds. There is a parking space if you have a rented car. Our room had seaview, which was nice. Overall we liked our stay
Location was perfecto! 10 mins walk to the city centre and the views are the best in all Taormina. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The shuttle to the beach was fantastic and the pool too was great to relax after exploring the city. I would definitely recommend hotel Mediterranee!
The hotel is very well located, just a five minutes’ walk to the many shops and restaurants of Taormina. You are without doubt here in one of the most beautiful spots of Sicily.
And the view from the room is magnificent: blue skies, the Mediterranean Sea and the mount Etna. Spectacular.
The best hotel in Taormina if you want luxury by the beach! The food is amazing, the buffet breakfast has with a view to die for. The staff are so friendly and helpful! Especially Gabriel from the pool, he really made our stay that much better! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Everything was great - from the people treating us like welcomed guests to the amenities. The steep path up to Taormina leads right from the hotel. The hotel is on a side street off the busy main road. Nice breakfast in a light and airy room.
The front desk staff where excellent. Very friendly and very helpful with information around Castelmola and Taormina. This was the best hotel we stayed in during our two week trip to Sicily. The views from the pool and deck are incredible.
From the stone walls exterior to the interiors decorated in the Sicilian Baroque style, this hotel breathes the air of eternal Sicily. The view from the terrace (4th floor) is magnificent. Thank you Taormina (Park Hotel). Thank you Sicily.
This is a fantastic family run hotel in the perfect location with a short walk from the centre of Taormina. The staff couldn't do enough for us and were warm and caring. Wouldn't hesitate to return for another visit.
The front desk went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything in Taormina, and arranged for car service. I cannot say enough good things about the customer service! We will recommend this hotel to everyone!
Modern and clean room with a great view in an accessible location close to the centre of Taormina.
The receptionist had good recommendations and cheap parking was available adjacent to the hotel.
The hotelroom was a bit small, but having a terrace with views totally made up for that. Very nice hotel and staff and ideally located in the centre of Taormina.
