Taormina City Centre enchants with medieval streets and showstopping views of Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea.

Spisone's pristine pebble beaches and turquoise waters create a peaceful escape from bustling Taormina. Dramatic cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation frame intimate swimming coves, while coastal paths wind past ancient rock formations. Snorkelling enthusiasts will discover vibrant marine life around rocky outcrops, and photographers can capture stunning views of Isola Bella. Family-run trattorias serve fresh seafood and authentic Sicilian dishes, with most places closing by sunset. Accommodation range from holiday rentals to boutique hotels with sea views and terraces.

Corso Umberto buzzes with cafes where locals debate which gelateria truly deserves your euros. Take the aerial tramway down to Isola Bella, a tiny island nature reserve where the pebbled beach demands proper footwear but rewards with crystalline waters. The Piazza IX April serves as an open-air living room where everyone gathers at sunset. After climbing narrow medieval streets, reward yourself with pasta alla Norma and cannoli that make a compelling argument against ever leaving Sicily. The San Giorgio Theatre hosts performances in a setting so intimate you'll feel part of the production.

This hotel is a class act. Beautifully appointed, every detail taken care of, lovely linen, furniture and decoration. Walking distance into Central Taormina and all its restaurants. Close to the biological gardens. Lovely helpful staff. Breakfast in the rooftop restaurant is easily the best hotel breakfast I have had since Chewton Glen in the UK! Highly recommended.

Stayed here for one night but wish we had had more time. Allowed us to check in early which was much appreciated. The villa is set in the most beautiful gardens full of orange trees. Room was good size and modern and clean. Good to have sun loungers outside for a nice rest at end of the day. Is a drive to restaurants but there is lots of voice close by.
Breakfast was lovely with a great variety of sweet and savoury options. Freshly squeezed orange juice and made made jams.

Junior suite that wecwere in had a stupid shower unit placed in the middle, spilling water everywhere.
Breakfast was fresh but outdoor service pitifully slow. Had to make a take-away arrangement with the helpful concierge to tie in with a taxi pick-up.

Lovely little hotel! Great staff—special mention goes to Giuseppe in the bar. The hotel is in the perfect location for a Taormina stay: not right in the centre but close enough to get there with a five minute walk. The rooms are lovely (well, ours was)! Also the breakfasts are to die for; such a wide selection to cater for every taste. I don’t really have any negatives that I can think of.

Be flexible with dates: Prices may differ depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year. Being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay at a Taormina hotel. For those seeking a unique experience, boutique hotels might provide a more personalised stay and occasionally offer better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your selected dates is above or below the average, and if it appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest alternative dates that could help you find a more attractive deal.
Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Taormina's excellent public transport links, you may find a reasonably priced independent hotel on the outskirts that remains well connected. For those inclined to explore alternative, less frequented neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
