A great historic property, that was tastefully modernized yet maintained the character of its location and origins. Property was a short walk from the bus station and cable cars and an ideal spot for navigating Taormina’s sites and offerings.
The staff was friendly and provided a great concierge service recommending and arranging travel, dinner reservations and sites.
The morning breakfast was fantastic providing a full fare of local cuisine.
The property was relaxing, safe and beautiful…. Our room had a small balcony overlooking the coast. Couldn’t be more pleased with the stay.
Definitely would revisit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, with suggestions of places to visit and good local restaurants. It is in a great location and within easy walking distance of all the attractions and the bus station. The hotel was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast varied and plentiful. We would stay at this hotel again.

Cozy property just a few minute walk from the Main Street. Also next to the cable car which is a huge plus if you visit Isola Bella. Room had a small terrace and was clean and well appointed. Staff were friendly and helpful, giving a map and offering highlights. After check-in, they directed us to a lot right down the road- cash only upon exit but reasonable price. Nice breakfast spread, as well.

FANTASTIC. Location was beautiful, both the hotel itself and the natural setting of Taormina and the gorgeous views of the Mediterranean. The breakfasts were superb --- the best we had in Italy by far. But the main reason for our great experience was the warm and friendly staff, led by the wonderful Antonella, as well as the kind and helpful Marco and Mario. Would only ever stay at the Pensione Svizzera in any future trips to Taormina. We truly hated to leave.
