Amazing staff and excellent location to all the shopping and restaurants. Very good breakfast options and a wonderful outdoor courtyard to enjoy morning coffee and breakfast. Can’t say enough about how well we were treated and the restaurant recommendations provided. Will be back to Taormina and will definitely be staying at the Hotel Piccolo Giardino.

Nice little hotel with pool. Though changed hands last Nov so restaurant and bar not yet open. Management, upon our request, changed our room to a larger room which was really great of the. Breakfast simple but plentiful. Staff (all). very friendly and helpful. We have stayed at this hotel over 6 times now 2022/23. 2024 they were booked and this year 2025. Was great to get back to a place you can call home. Good bang for the buck, or Euro! I would like to personal thank the management for making our stay and wonder week in Taormina!

Peter

Liked: Staff & service
Staff was generally really nice and helpful. Breakfast was good with healthy alternatives to the sweets traditionally served for breakfast in the area. Rooms are small and the bathroom was worn with the toilet leaking (clean) water and a total lack of water pressure in the shower. The rooftop area is fine but the pool is a lot smaller than in the pictures. Public parking is 600 meters away, and stopping near the hotel to drop off your baggage is a challenge. Stop at the NH hotel, drop off luggage and then take the car to the parking. Do not drive down the little street of the hotel unless you have a relatively small car and you love reversing in very narrow streets with parked motor bikes on one side and a massive stone wall on the other :-). The hotel is not expensive so I'd say there is a reasonable balance between price and quality.

I stayed at Hotel Piccolo in Taormina and unfortunately had a very poor experience from start to finish. We were first placed in Room 108, where the air conditioning unit was leaking, the balcony door wouldn’t lock (which felt unsafe), and the shower backed up with visible mold. We also noticed that walking barefoot in the room left our feet completely black — clearly, the floor hadn’t been cleaned properly. We were then moved to Room 401 on the top floor, but the elevator was broken, so we had to carry our luggage up several flights of stairs. That room smelled strongly of sewage, had urine left in the toilet when we arrived, and the shower gurgled loudly for long periods. Again, our feet turned black walking around the room. After showering, my girlfriend developed a sore throat and wheezing, which we believe was caused by poor air quality or mold. Despite raising these issues with the hotel staff, they refused to offer any refund or take responsibility. With no real solution offered, we ended up booking another hotel across the street for the rest of our stay at our own expense. Taormina is beautiful, but this hotel was a major letdown. Poor hygiene, unclean rooms, and a complete lack of support from staff — I would not recommend Hotel Piccolo to anyone.
