Great name! A modern attractive hotel. The room was small but comfortable. Clean and well cared for. A wonderful view of the sea from my balcony. A short walk to the main street of town. Excellent breakfast (I was amused by one review I saw which said the only thing for breakfast was scrambled eggs, and nothing to go with them. Nothing, except for the fried bacon, 4 or 5 kinds of bread and rolls with a toaster available, croissants, 3 kinds of cheese, prosciutto, salami and mortadella, fruits plus freshly cut mixed fruit, yogurt, juices and the wonderful Sicilian pastries and sweets they often serve at breakfast.) The attendant at the front desk was friendly and knowledgable, with excellent suggestions for dinner.

The location was great, staying in Taormina proper is too much trouble, but Hotel Villino Gallodoro was just a short distance from the lift to bring you up to Taormina so you could enjoy your hotel stay in relative peace, and go enjoy the busy Taormina when you wish.
Also, located near the beach, access to boat and swimming was great.

Loved the location, lots to explore on foot with the Corso Umberto for shopping and eating, the Greek Theatre and the Botanical gardens for a quiet place to reflect and enjoy the views, and a play area for the children.
The cable car is worth using to access the beaches which again are well serviced with food, drink and toilet facilities.
Fabulous food, Mount Etna on your doorstep and great shopping.

We were unlucky with the weather so didn’t do as much as we would have liked . You’ve got to be aware the hotel is a long way away from centre so might not suit everyone. Good shuttle service though and good view from hotel. Taormina is very crowded

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.
This property is 5 stars! It is completely updated with incredibly comfortable beds, luxury linens and absolutely beautiful decor.The owners take great care to make the property comfortable and true to the spirit of Taormina. it is authentic and beautiful. We were some of the first people to stay here, and i feel very lucky to have had the opportunity. If you are looking for a five star experience in Taoromina, you should book this place. The location, beds, and AC were all wonderful too.
We loved the location! It's in the centre of Taormina. There is a restaurant next to the apartment so throughout the day and evening there is a quite lot of noise, but this can be excepted while staying in the centre of a busy town of course.
If you are staying here longer, the hotel organises trips to go to the beach (with a shuttle and back with rental of bed) for a good price. It was nice to be able to cook for ourselves.
Good airconditioning and clean towels included.
I liked the homey feel of hotel Natalina, it is very cozy and the staff are amazing & very helpful. They were very kid friendly and even helped with minding the kids, the location was perfect as well and if you are traveling with kids or older members it is very helpful to have the lift. I didn't find many options with a lift around that location so this was a big plus for us. Also the room was spotless clean much cleaner than in some 5 star hotels i have seen.
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.
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.
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.
A charming hotel with views of the water away from the bussel of Taormina center. Nice pool amenities and access to public transportation nearby. Very friendly and helpful staff on directions and points of interest to see and places to eat. Communication was easy as staff speak more than one language. A shout out to Melo who greeted us every morning for breakfast and makes a great cappucino!
Fantastic views, good selection of food for breakfast, very friendly staff. We stayed in the hotel for 5 days and it was the best holiday ever! This hotel deserves 5 stars! It has everything needed for comfortable stay plus the building itself is absolutely gorgeous! Will be back for sure and will recommend Bel Soggiorno to everyone looking for a superb place to stay in 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.
Best stay in our travelling history.
Attention to details was overwhelming from design to spotlless cleaning. Hotel offers lots of chill spaces, a good cocktail bar, nice pool.
Location is very close to all Taormina important things to do and see, 100m from the cable car that goes down to the beach area.
A real 5* !
This boutique hotel is located a short 2 minute walk from the main street of Taormina with great views of the bay. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and tastefully furnished and the service was impeccable. Every breakfast we had during our 3 week visit to Sicily paled into insignificance after our stay here!
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.
Marco who runs the property is so kind and Marco super helpful. The rooms were exceptionally clean, one of the cleanest hotels I've ever stayed in (even compared to 5 star hotels). Location was perfect right in the centre of town. Highly recommend!
The view from pool and breakfast area and the private beach were absolutely exceptional and amazing. This luxury stay is definitely a special stop when visiting Taormina. You don’t want to leave the hotel. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable.
We really liked this accomodation.
Taormina center is on the top of the hill (hotel is under the hill) so you have to walk prox. 20min to the centre. But hotel has very good position (quite, nice surrounding), really nice pool.
Villa Astoria is an older hotel on the main road into Taormina-a short walk into the old town and perfectly located across from the bus station. The staff was helpful, the rooms basic and comfortable and the breakfast very good.
Lovely hotel in a great location, short walk to Taormina’s main streets, very close to the funicular and to the bus station. Best part was the lovely helpful staff. Would stay here again without hesitation.
Beautiful gardens and a historic hotel building. The location made accessing Taormina’s town centre very easy. Lovely host who was very helpful. It was also great value for money. We loved our stay here.
Very well run hotel with extremely kind and pleasant staff. The private beach is great, breakfast is good, bathrooms clean and renovated and beds very comfortable. Also shuttle to Taormina is great.
