โรงแรมเบล ซอจจอร์โน

We chose to stay here for one night, due to the need for parking and found the location to be perfect, as it was easy to find and only 10 minutes walk up to the old town (up quite a few steps!). There is a lovely ambience and the traditional decor is just gorgeous, with a great view of Etna from the huge windows at the end of the hallways and over the sea from our balcony. Staff are very friendly and helpful with local knowledge, which was very useful for our drive back through the mountains towards Cefalu. One recommendation, do not miss the amazing breakfast, with plenty of choice and cakes, cakes, cakes! We did not need to eat again until the evening! All served by an incredibly jolly and attentive waiter. All in all, this hotel is a little gem and we would have happily stayed a little longer if we had more time.

I want to say that the gentleman running breakfast (I believe his name is Sebastiano) is a delight - he was so welcoming and such a joy to speak with and his cakes/sweets were absolutely delicious! The grounds are beautifully kept and the location is good (just barely 5 minutes' walk into town). There is parking available on premises (tight, as usual in Italy, but it's free). BUT - we had a difficult stay. The beds are terribly uncomfortable (we couldn't sleep the entire stay), the rooms are damp and cold, the shower was dingy with limited hot water (we figured out that showering mid-day was the only way to get more than 2 minutes of hot water), the bathroom was so small that you had to sit/stand sideways to use the toilet...tiles were coming up off the floor, our "balcony" faced a wall...we were miserable and considered checking out early and eating the cost just to get out of there. We caught glimpses of other rooms during cleaning and while they seemed to have better balcony areas than ours, they looked the same otherwise. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Had a fabulous time, the view and venue was spectacular. Only problem we had was parking, had to park in the road, then received a parking fine.

This classic property evokes images of the Grand Tour of days gone by. You feel pampered and part of something historic just stepping through the front door! Rooms are well appointed and comfortable and the property is elegant and spacious. A great find - just avoid the tight parking lot and park on the street above!

Beautiful facility Wonderful staff especially in the dining room breakfast and dinner staff!

This hotel is under rated. It’s 7 minutes walk to the public garden and another 8 minutes to the ancient theatre. But It has the best view than other hotels in town. Staff are helpful. I could not park my car uphill into a just enough spot, one front desk agent did that for me. Room is clean and comfortable. Breakfast does not have a lot of selections but still adequate. I definitely will book the hotel again next time I return to Taormina.

This is the most charming and character filled hotel we have stayed in with the most amazing ocean views. Breakfast was absolutely delicious with a wide range of choices. Not too far walking into town using the short cut but just far away enough from the masses of tourists. Highly recommended.

The view from our room was wonderful. But, the bed was terrible. The mattress was old and lumpy. The breakfast was very good. There was no where to Sunbathe unless the room was one which came with a chaise..

Fantastic views, clean and basic room with good aircon. I stayed on a Friday night. Between a wedding in the open air with a live band below and an amoutous lover above with poorly insulated ceilings I got no sleep. The bed was hard and the place severely lacking in atmosphere at night. It could be so much more but there’s no background music and I even had to get to reception (up two flights of stairs) to get somebody to serve me at the bar. As I’ve said amazing views but that’s about it.

It was ok. Shower tiny, room furniture needs updating . There is not even one shop nearby or restaurant it was off putting because it was a walk up a steep hill and a winding busy road with no sidewalks. If you like to get dressed and go out for dinner it’s not good to trek up a steep hill every time. It adds to the cost if you have to pay for taxis every time. ended up staying in a lot because of this.
