Small hotel close to the beach and the cable car to the city center. It is good to book a parking lot through the hotel reception. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was very good, wide option of both salty and sweet foods. I would like to recommend to stay for dinner prepared by Angelo according to the traditional Sicilian recipes.

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)
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.
It’s in a fabulous location, on the beach overlooking Isola Bella. The steps up to Taormina start right outside the hotel.
Breakfast was excellent and although we didn’t have dinner at the hotel, there are plenty of very good restaurants nearby. The staff were extremely helpful and very friendly.
We were very unlucky with the weather during our stay… very little sun and plenty of rain. not sure how common that is in early May but the hotel helped us make the best of it.
Highly recommended.
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.
Super convenient location, good view from the balcony. The best staff I have ever met. It was raining when I visited Taormina. The weather could have disappointed me but Ernesto saved my days. He speaks good English and is very willing to talk to people. I knew more about Italy and Sicily after two days stay at the B&B and felt even doing nothing but only walking around the town centre and talking to people there are so enjoyable.
This was a clean, comfortable hotel in Taormina, close to the Corso Umberto. The hotel staff were very attentive and helpful in every way. Upon arrival, they sat down with us and offered suggestions for tours and activities they could arrange for us. Any time we needed a taxi or dinner reservations, they set them up for us.
Our room had a large terrace overlooking the sea, the views were beautiful.
Beautiful hotel in Taormina. Rooms have been remodelled and are massive with plenty of space. Centrally located in the heart of the city with a great shuttle to the beach. Bathrooms are a little tight but the views make up for it. Great staff here to help with your daily activities. Parking is available at hotel which is great. Beds are very comfortable and large
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.
The bed was very comfortable. The view of the sea was lovely. Alessio was very helpful and kind. As was Dario, who I didn't get to meet. Alessio met me from the airport and took me back too for 75Euros each way. It's very close to the centre of Taormina with shops and restaurants. It is a self contained apartment, not in a hotel complex.
The hotel was very clean and the staff friendly and accommodating. The valet parking (extra fee) was a definite plus as driving in Taormina is not for the faint of heart- let alone finding parking. All the comforts of a high end hotel. The breakfast had many choices to suit any preference. Easy walk to the main center.
the location was perfect. A nice easy walk to the centre of Taormina and the shops, restaurants and bars. The most amazing view from our sea view room and public areas of the hotel such as pool, breakfast room and drinks terrace. Room was typically Italian, basic but clean. Lovely cleaning staff for our room.
Great hotel with great location in Taormina, 3 minute walk from the historical center, through the hotel garden. We had a large room with classic italyan style wood furniture and a terrace with view of the gulf/sea and mount Edna - the room was very clean and fully equiped. The staff is very kind and helpful.
What a great place to stay if you are visiting Taormina. We went to the concert of Andrea Bocelli and the Theater was on walking distance. The hotel has a great view at the sea. 5/10 min walk to the centre of Taormina. Breakfast and coffee was good.
Staff was really kind and helpfull.
The hotel was situated in a beautiful spot, quiet but central. amazing views from the pool and balconies, nice breakfast.
exceptionally comfortable beds and pillows. a great stay for the whole family. a nice bonus is the shuttle offered to the sister hotel on the beach.
The friendly and helpful staff, the impeccable level of service, the unbeatable location, and the gorgeous property made our stay at Villa Fiorita unforgettable. We will recommend this hotel to all of our friends & family for a perfect stay in Taormina!
Amazing property. Staff was great. On the beach and a fantastic pool. Free shuttle to Taormina was a pleasant surprise. We loved it. The hotel restaurant was excellent for dinner and the breakfast in the morning was plentiful. Many choices. Cheers.
Nice location close to Lumbi Parking. 5 minutes walk to the centre of Taormina. Small but nice hotel. Beautiful view from the balcony! Really good breakfast!
