We decided last minute after a day trip to Taormina that we wanted to stay the night and enjoy the beach the next day before returning to Palermo and stumbled on this hotel and we are so glad we did! Spotless and clean, modern and beautiful, stunning water and beach views, easy access by bus back up to Taormina (5 minute bus ride) and a beach with chairs and umbrellas and impeccable service down the street. And the breakfast…wonderful! Perfect stay!

Parking was not easy to get to, and was a ways away from hotel, so that was a bit annoying. Hotel itself was very nice, clean and very helpful staff. Breakfast was amazing and close to lots of other options for eating.

The Nautilus is wonderful. The staff is super friendly and efficient without being overwhelming and the facility is possibly the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed. Location is on the water and I suggest a beach view as our room was not. It was super quiet which is nice. Breakfast is awesome and the selection is huge though gluten intolerance is not well addressed. You are close to many great restaurants which is another plus.

Beautiful Family run hotel

Absolutely beautiful family run hotel. The Nautilus is immaculate and everything is spot on. The rooms are lovely and modern. We booked a sea facing balcony which was great to sit in the mornings and watch the world go by. The owner is constantly checking everything is just so and all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Special mention for Laura who was so helpful in booking trips or just there for a friendly chat. The breakfasts are really nice with everything you need and the dining room is spotless. There is also an outdoor terrace where you can eat. Highly recommend this hotel. The location of the Nautilus is perfect for buses and trains and in the quieter end of Giardini Naxos and only a 15 minute bus ride into Taormina which is stunning.
