Hotel Bel Soggiorno  

Very Nice Hotel in a great location

The location and the view from the hotel was fantastic. It's only a short walk to Taormina.

Our room was fantastic with a terrace overlooking the sea and also Mount Etna from the side (partial view). The quite and peace was incredible. The room is large and has lots of character. The breakfast area is within a conservatory or else it is possible to have breakfast outside in front of the garden if the weather permits.

The room decore is tired but then it also adds up to the room's character.

The hotel is just a 10 minute walk to Taormina centre, very clean, we had a lovely room view with seaview . The hotel is also very close to Giardini Naxos. Easily reached by car.

Best location with view on sea and Etna, nice veranda (winter) and nice garden, 10 mn walk from downtown. Old building well maintained and clean. Breakfast ok.

Bathroom / Shower need some improvements: low water pressure.

Nice historical atmosphere, a splendid view of ocean and mt Etna, breakfast on terrace, free wifi in hotel's public areas, friendly staff.

No restaurant in hotel (but they serve breakfast in hotel and there are restaurants in 10 min walking distance).

We were upgraded to a shared terrace room on arrival and the views were spectacular from the terrace. Look right and there is Mount Etna smoking in the distance, look left and there is the wonderful coastline, look down and there were the beautiful gardens. The room was comfortable and has an olde worlde charm and elegance about it. The common room is very attractive and has a bar. The gardens have nice places to walk and sit in a peaceful setting. The terraces are lovely and allow views of the sea, coastline and the mountain. Front desk staff very helpful. Breakfast was very good. Fresh and filling. Parking on site was very helpful.

We chose the hotel for the location and value for money and the stunning views did not disappoint! The terrace looked out over the sea and Mount Etna, which we saw erupt twice during our stay. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the breakfast each morning was amazing! The room was agood size and had excellent air conditioning. The hotel overall felt very spacious, especially when we saw some of the other hotels in the town centre that we had been considering and that looked very cramped! We stayed here for our honeymoon and had a wonderful and relaxing time. We enjoyed the 10 minute walk into town as it took in the beautiful botanical gardens which we may not have seen if staying in a town centre hotel. However, it is uphill, including a good many steps so may not be such a good location if you are not so mobile. Overall I would not hesitate to recommend the hotel to anyone!

The only downside I can think of is that the bed was a tiny bit harder than I would have liked. Didn't really detract from our stay though!

The hotel had a very uplifting feel as it was perched on the cliffs overlooking the ocean below Taormina. Breakfast is also served on the terrace which was large and very bright with the morning sun coming in. The dining/bar/entertainment area had an older style grandness to it. I felt like I was staying in a hotel that an old James Bond movie may have been filmed in. I also enjoyed being able to fall asleep with our balcony doors open listening to the gentle sounds of the Ionian sea a hundred feet below. Free wifi was available as well as two workstations in the dining room that could be used any time by guests.

The shower was quite small (but I managed) and there was no minibar that can sometimes come in handy for keeping things in. The hotel night staff however brought sparkling water to our room late at night when we forgot to buy some. But the good outweighs the bad at this hotel.

Attractive period building, good location with easy access between high and low levels, beautiful setting, lovely terraces/gardens and fantastic views. Family room was spacious - almost two rooms as kids beds were in front sitting area. Public rooms were attractive, particularly breakfast conservatory and terrace. Nice to have your own terrace area with sun bed, table and chairs. Staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again.

The shower was old and tired and let down what was otherwise a very nice room. I would not recommend the hotel for elderly people as there are a lot of stairs up which we had to carry our suitcases (although I'm sure the staff would have helped if we had asked) and of course there are also hills up to the town or down to the beach. It was a shame there was no food available other than breakfast as the conservatory, terraces and gardens were so lovely we would have eaten at the hotel if it had been possible, especially given we have young children. I don't mean a full restaurant menu, as I can appreciate this might not be economically viable, but a range of sandwiches and salads, cakes and fruit would have been nice for a light meal.

I like the whole feel of this hotel. Family owned and operated for a long time and they know how to be gracious hosts. The public spaces are lovely and I found it to be much quieter than other higher priced hotels nearby. Pay the little extra for a view on Etna!

This is an older property so there are a few issues--smallish bathrooms in some rooms and an slight odor in some rooms--- but it is still very good value for taormina.

Die Lage ist außergewöhnlich, Blick auf den Ätna, auf das Meer, die Landschaft. Balkons, elegante Frühstückshalle, alter Garten.

Parkareal für PKWs sehr eng.

La posizione ed il personale compresi I proprietari molto disponibili

Le pessime colazioni! Peccato perchè servite in un contesto molto bello!
