This was our best stay in a 3-week Sicily trip. On arrival we were greeted by Nino who checked us into a very nice room(it actually had a chandelier). Later we met Martina and she chatted with us and provided great suggestions over the 2-3 days we were there. And then Marta made us all kinds of drinks in the evening. The villa is gorgeous and the breakfast was amazing (including made to order eggs). I recommend this place heartily.

Charming hotel on the cliffs of Taormina

Villa Taormina and its hosts are as charming as the eponymous town. Our room was lovely and sizeable, easily able to fit a cot for our teenager. The beds were so comfortable -- critical after a day of hiking up the local cliffs. Our room's balcony opened onto a sweet garden area with a pool. The abundant breakfast buffet was served in a bright, balconied room on the top floor looking over the sea and Mt Etna. Our hosts guided us to the best local restaurants, regaled us with stories about the history of the hotel and the town, and made us feel like family friends. The heart of town, with its sweet restaurants and shops, was a few steps away.

After a white knuckle drive to get to the town center of Taormina (Welcome to Taormina!), we finally were able to relax and quickly settle in once we checked in to Hotel Villa Taormina. What an amazing gem of a property! This boutique hotel is located in an extremely convenient location in Taormina. It's a fully restored villa with approximately 15–20 rooms, and absolutely gorgeous. It's family run and the staff was more than welcoming and friendly. They really made us feel at home and almost part of the family. The rooms are well appointed, clean, and cozy. The views from the pool deck and bar are spectacular with amazing views of the sea and Mt. Etna. I am already planning my next visit to Taormina and will undoubtedly stay at Hotel Villa Taormina.
