4 star hotels in Taormina

We loved this hotel!!! It definitely exceeded our expectations. Very clean and modern decor (even nicer in person than the pics show online), great location (you can get everywhere in 10 mins or less on foot), amazing staff (friendly, helpful) at front desk, pool bar, and breakfast, delicious cocktails, beautiful views from the pool and restaurant, comfortable beds, and more! Highly recommend! Can...

Located just outside of the town so not overly touristy. Staff and rooms were nice too. Breakfast had a good selection of food every morning. The rooms are very noisy though so you hear everyone who uses the lifts, walks the hallways and opens room doors. This got frustrating especially during the night when trying to sleep. The shower is also quite small and the opening to get in and out of it is...

Fantastic location on the edge of the tourist area with easy car park access (Lumbi). Hotel staff very helpful, rooms modern and very clean. Breakfast in restaurant excellent value.

the hotel is next to the main promenade so dont have to rant car to get to the center and main attractions. the hotel is very clean, peaople are very friendly, and helpful. the best window and pool view :))) to be honest i can recommended the hotel i'll be back:)

On a quiet street just outside the town centre, Splendid Hotel provides guests with all the modern comforts in a hilltop setting. The  bright and minimalistic interior is soothing and the  breakfast buffet is delicious. Try to book  a room with balcony to enjoy breathtaking views of the Ionion Sea. In addition,  an Incoop supermarket is just around the corner, and the Interbus terminus is within walking...

Very nice view but rooms are small and need maintenance. Water coming of the shower, unfinished electricity things (like caps). Electric towel dryer not working in any room. The service is great. Breakfast is awesome and the personnel are very efficient and quick. The front desk people, Francesco in particular, are great and very very helpful and patient (very unlikely for a lot of Italians we treated...

Superb hotel, lovely friendly staff, excellent food, breakfast on the sun terrace was so peaceful and with a view that should not be missed. There is a fantastic restaurant attached to the hotel that is 1st class serving beautiful food, lovely friendly staff and very attentive, a 2nd café a short walk up to Castelmola is highly recommended with views to die for, I would highly recommend this resort...

It was really a great experience to stay at Hotel Villa Sonia. Spacy rooms with a awesome view to the old lady, Etna. Wonderful breakfast, and buses just outside the door witch drives to the center of Taormina in less than 25 minutes. Not the last time, me and my wife will stay at Villa Sonia. Excellent!

Really nice hotel up in the hills, great views over Mt.Etna. Staff were very helpful with all our needs.

Amazing. Don’t buy into the ´dated look´ reviews. You either like that style or don’t! Pictures show what’s available so you know what you’re choosing. I personally loved the character of the hotel. Classy, quality decor. Fabulous service. Very helpful staff and an amazing location if you want to venture out of usual tourist paths. Go on be brave and explore. Good gluten and dairy free breakfast, which...

Very nice hotel, well organized. Beautiful views of Etna. If I ever return to Taormina, then I would stay here. The Caverns restaurant was surprisingly good. The woman who runs the whole show speaks fluent English

Outstanding views and fabulous hilltop location within a few minutes walk of the historic Castelmola with plenty of restaurants to choose from.

Truly amazing. You take an elevator down to a cave which on one side has an opening with a beach with views of Isola Bella and on the other side of the cave you have an infinity pool with views of the coast and Etna. Been to many places in the world but nothing can beat that. On top of that, the rooms are great and they have good breakfast you can enjoy with views of the coast and Etna.

Great hotel. Service always kind and helpful. Beautifully located pool and beach hidden in a cave. Breath taking views on Etna. Restaurant provides fine dining with a view. The only negatives are the bar prices. 5 eur for coca cola is little bit too much, even for this hotel

It's definitely one of my best stays! From making reservation to payment, the booking experience was very smooth, and I did appreciated the communication with your reservation Team, all the questions we're perfectly answered, and I didn't wait so long to receive your reply. And for the stay, I couldn't express more how much I love your hotel, the pool, the beach, the restaurant, very single aspect...

staff was great, food was very good and the panaramic views from the room and terrace were fantastic.

LOCATION SUPER, STAFF AT ANY LEVEL KIND, POLITE, VERY HELPFULL AND READY TO SATISFY ANY NEED YOU ASK FOR, THE KITCHEN EVEN AT THE BAR AND IN THE RESTAURANT IS EXCELLENT, THE MASSAGE ROOM WITH TETRA VERY PROFESSIONAL AND POLITE, REALLY A VERY PLEASENT STAY.

Attending a conference so can't speak for the rooms. However, great views from the large terrace. Very good food.

Very clean, friendly staff, great food...when I go back I will stay at The Hotel Ipanema again..

A good hotel with comfortable beds and quite tasty food. Very nice roof top pool.

I write this review from my hotel balcony on the last afternoon of my stay. This is a most friendly hotel, in an ideal location. It is the staff that make this hotel such a pleasure to stay. The food is very good indeed and the portions are very generous. This is not a place to lose weight! The rooms are of a good size and the beds are comfortable. The whole hotel is kept spotlessly clean. Only 1...

Wonderful family run hotel who can't do enough for you. To get to the town is easy and walk down to the cable car takes just over 5 mins take the cable car up and your there. Food is lovely and waiters are helpful. Self services for breakfast then waiter service with a choice for evening meal. Room was lovely with balcony over looking the sea. You won't be disappointed with this hotel thank you x

Cosy old fashined hotel with friendly staff, located in loveley area.

The location was excellent few minutes walk to center. breakfast was excellent. Everything you need were there. room size excellent and tea coffee in the room too. Nice balcony. beautiful bathroom with nice showers.

Excellent Location, perfect room: well designed, clean and comfortable bed and pillows

I didn't live in the hotel, but visited a beauty parlour in Spa. I made a manicure and pedicure here and was satisfied with the result, although it was not the best one, which I ever had. I wanted to change my hair colour here from mahogoni to trendy blond, but could not achieve the wished colour. The original price for coloration was 130 Euro, but because the result was not achieved, the owner agreed...

We experienced a very warm welcome by the staff at the front office as well as the room maid and the waitress at breakfast, which by the way was really yammy.

Good hotel. Little expensive

Excellent location, great facilities, helpful staff. Room was large, comfortable, clean with great views. Will definitely be back!

We spent 4 nights at this wonderful hotel. The service was exceptional and staff went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. We consider the fact that they kept a lot of the original elements of the decoration very positive, this makes all the charm of this wonderful place. The direct access to the sea is a major plus . Will definitely go back

Spent one night in Taormina and stayed at this hotel (two adults and two kids). We were lucky and got a room with a big arched window facing the sea with an absolutely amazing view. The hotel and rooms are vintage with what seems like a lot of original interior and appliances, but very clean and functional. For us the vintage interior gave the perfect ambiance for a trip to Taormina. The staff is very...

Great views, free beach access for customers, and an in-hotel restaurant with good food. Would recommend.

Great beach area & restaurant is good for food and drinks. Whilst restaurant prices are on par the rental costs for sunbeds is extortionate- £30!

I really enjoyed my stay here. Many thanks to the staff for making my holiday special. Reception lady Yulia was the most helpful, housekeeping and the bar/beach staff did their best too. My room had a lovely view of the sea. The breakfast was nice and it was served at the terrace. I hope to revisit Taormina and stay at Lido Mediterranee soon.

Old school style hotel right on the beach- the staff were extremely accommodating during some difficult jet lag days with the kids and everyone was so friendly and pleasant. Unique property, located 10 minute walk to the loft into taormina centre. Fabulous location right on the beach! 5 star.

We spent a week here for our honeymoon. The hotel was great; it was quiet, the pool was so beautiful, breakfast was tasty with good variety, the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the location was excellent, right by the town, less than 5 minutes walk to shops and restaurants. The valet parking service was also very convenient!

In July I booked a Junior suite with premium sea view for myself and my family. I think it was a King bed with 2 singles, I Wasn't sure what to expect. After travelling around for two weeks it was a pleasure to spend 4 nights here. The hotel is in an excellent position and 5 mins away from town. We had a fantastic view of the water and Mount Etna. Breathtaking! From when we first walked in the...

Really cute hotel the balconies look straight to the pool and the sea. It has a beautiful atmosphere. There's towel service at the pool. There's no access to the beach but that's okay. The breakfast was incouded in our rate and it was good again with a beautiful view. Walking distance everywhere.

I am happy to report a positive experience with this hotel after having to cancel a reservation. They resolved it and are crediting my account - I will look to stay here in the future when I travel to Taormina.

We enjoyed our stay here. Great location with everything you need to see in walking distance from the hotel. The views from the hotel are beautiful as it is located on a cliff face. This means a steep walk to the street….but the views are worth it. The rooms were clean and spacious. The shower was good and the bed was very comfortable. The reason for my 5 stars though…are the staff. They helped with...

Unfortunately we were disappointed. On ONE positive note, it is walkable to all sites in Taormino. The negative is that you must climb a fairly steep hill to enter or exit the hotel. There is no transportation to get you to the top of the hill each time you leave. The rooms are clean, but the hotel is not as well-maintained as we expected. The pool area is just average, very little special about it...

Beautiful setting, fabulous views! Super clean, comfy beds and very attentive and helpful staff!

Great hotel, Amazing view and Great thoughtful staff.. Especially the man at the front desk! An example for many!

Only the best memories and highest recommendations for this hotel! The setting, location and view from the balcony was amazing. Staff was super friendly and helped us a lot. Thank you so much! We will be back.

Noisy! Great view, close to the beach, great staff, very helpful and understanding, nice terrace and piscine, good breakfast, but very, very, very noisy. The road, the preparation of breakfast in the morning and other guests, you can hear them all very loud. I'm almost sorry to write this review, because everything else is great.

The hotel is in a lovely location and we were really happy with the service - staff were very friendly and helpfull. This is a B&B hotel but does have some nice bar snacks available through the day and a bar on the pool floor (the top floor with a great view). Very good continental breakfast. Clean and modern rooms overlooking beautiful Isola Bella. We booked a car at Catania Airport as it was more...

Beautiful setting with great staff and service. Friendly and helpful. Cakes at breakfast are amazing

Beautiful traditional Italian hotel. You could say it's a little old-fashioned, but actually it was perfect. Amazing location - short walk down to the Taormina town where everything is happening. The pool area is beautiful - with incredible views. The rooms are absolutely fine and clean and a good size - and the staff are so friendly. Decent breakfast as well. It is such a great value for money...

Good hotel for family of 4 This was one of the few hotels that we could find that could fit a family of 4 in one room. The room was laid out as 1 entryway with a single bed to the side. The entryway lead to a big room where we could rent a cot for the second kid. The cot was more of a portable single bed so worked for 4 nights. Then the adults had a queen bed in the same room as the cot. Window with...

The hotel has a beautiful view of the city and sea below. The staff was very accommodating, the grounds were scenic to tour, and the pool was very relaxing. The breakfast was great with a variety of juices, meats, breads and dairy. The view from the breakfast patio was also spectacular. Unfortunately we could hear people moving around on the rooms above and adjoining our room and the wifi was only...

the view from the property was incredible warm welcome room was beautiful, extremely comfy bed

The staff was very helpful, they really make your stay so easy, they gave us great recommendations of how to explore the city, where to go and that made exploring the city very easy. We would have liked to stay longer, they have so much to offer, both the breakfast and dinner we had there were very delicious also. The rooms and restaurant had amazing views of Taormina. I would go back and would recommend...

Very friendly, welcoming owner and staff, fantastic view over Mount Etna and bay below and a good place to return to from the bustle of a busy down town Taormina. Great shuttle service into town and charming restaurant with good food. Thank you to both Massimos.

Amazing boutique hotel set high on the hill above Taormina. A free shuttle to town and to the lidos (beach clubs) below make for carefree travel. The room, restaurant and lounge area were exquisite, with unforgettable views of the bay. The pool is just across the road. We can’t wait to be back!

The good feeling started with a phone call at the reception before getting there. Daniele, one of the receptionists, answered all my questions very kindly. And then getting there I felt in love with the unbelievable view from the restaurant. Our room was big, very detailed oriented, with the same amazing view I felt in love with. A lot has been done to ensure the right standard of cleanliness, remote...

The view from the room is phenomenal. You have the sea view and the erupting Etna from your balcony. The basic room is small but very cozy, it has every thing you need, bathroom is spacious. Daniele raised the bar of hospitality and truly represents how a luxury hotel should be. My friend had some emergency issues with her eyes and he helped us all the way to sort it out even before our arrival. Now...

We were greeted with a glass of wine/processeco and valet parking. Staff could not do enough for us. The view from our 3rd floor room was mount Etna and the garden of the hotel from a very big room balcony and the rooftop balcony with a view of mount Etna and the ocean and the exteriour garden are amazing. The location is superb- close enough to restaurants and shops and historic places to visit...

Hotel is well located with beautiful views of Mt. Etna and the sea. Staff is very friendly. Rooms/bathroom are very clean and well maintained, but furniture and style needs to be updated. It current feels that you’re coming to your grandmother 😅

We stayed 6 nights in July. Great hotel, our room was upgraded, we had a small balcony to the garden. Very charming. Also a rooftop terrace with an amazing view. Service was also good, I had an incident when I was ironing my white shirt. The hotel immediately dry cleaned the shirt and delivered it to my room the next morning. Andrea, mr Schulers son served us breakfast one day, and was extremely nice...

Beautiful balcony view, accomodating staff, beautiful garden attached. Shower leaked during stay which was never fully fixed, but mostly very good!

outstanding. Top service, super mega friendly staff. Do not miss breakfast on the fantastic terrasse with a view on to the sea and bay. All fresh and local stuff served for a la carte breakfast. Not a cheap but very, very nice place. Valet parking available but you will have to book it, limited space available. Very challenging to find parking elsewhere.

outstanding. Top service, super mega friendly staff. Don't miss breakfast on the fantastic terrace overlooking the sea and bay. All fresh local produce is served a la carte for breakfast. Not cheap, but very, very beautiful place. Valet parking is available but you will have to reserve it and spaces are limited. It is very difficult to find parking elsewhere.

The views were amazing !!! The best views from Taormina, Location was perfect !

Stunning views of the bay and Mount Etna (when clear)

View and pool are incredible, but service not as good as promised. Too many additional charges (parking, shuttle) too full impacting customers experience. Americano coffee is instant in ITALY😱😡

We spent one night at Diodoro Hotel. Everything was perfect: fantastic view with incredible swimming pool, top quality service and very nice bedroom.

Well priced, great location and friendly staff.. *caution* - parking is free but very tricky... being just on the edge of town (5 minutes walk) but neighboring an incredible botanical garden/park this hotel is quite the find! Breakfast's are simple yet sufficient for most people and the pool is large and well maintained. My only issue is with the lack of coffee.. no coffee in the rooms and room service...

FANTASTIC view from room 432, a junior suite perfect for our family of four. Great service. The hotel has its age, but that's part of the charm. The pool is super, also with the most amazing views. Great to have a drink or coffee and watch the kids playing and the ocean below. The carpet on the stairs needs to be replaced but is completely worn out.

The hotel was beautiful: it had a classic Italian feel with great views. The location was fantastic, the pool was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Very nice hotel located just outside Taormina, nevertheless 10 min Walk to the city centre. The pool with its fantastic view on the sea is the strong point of the hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Very good hotel located close to Taormina, yet 10 minutes walk from the city center. The swimming pool with fantastic sea views is the hotel's strong point. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Beautiful hotel and excellent service. Friendly and helpful staff will help you with booking tours etc

Very nice and quiet hotel with fantastic sea views and a swimming pool. The breakfast is varied, the coffee is very tasty. The staff were very friendly and the room was practical and comfortable. This is how a hotel in Sicily should be. A wonderful holiday with many opportunities for excursions in your own car.

Cozy hotel in the center of Taormina with sea views.... friendly and polite staff, ready to satisfy a variety of needs. The hotel has internal paid parking for ten euros, but very convenient.. and the pool is very nice.

Great view. parking is on the street and still looks illegal. shower cabin quite old and inconvenient. I'd give 3 strars, not 4-star hotel

Nice view from the room, Great breakfast, Management & Reception were welcoming, Reasonable price, and Great location ; near to the Cable car. Rooms are not fancy but will have everything you need.

Wow! What an amazing hotel. The location is absolutely beautiful, you’re extremely close to one of the most stunning beaches (Isola Bella), Mount Etna and the main town. The rooms were spotless as well as the pool! Again, the pool has an amazing view too! The staff were fantastic and so friendly, they couldn’t do more for you. Staff on reception were more than willing to help and advise on trips...

The best place by Tormina

Stunning views, friendly staff, clean room, but the kitchen in the restaurant is not the best.

They were happy to let us leave our bags in a big pile on the day of our departure. Welcoming atmosphere. A proper holiday hotel.

The view, location, service were all brilliant. The pool was also a real treat for the kids. The view and pool side service were also excellent. My kids and I had the most amazing 7 nights away at this hotel. I highly recommend it and will be back next year

very nice place

I would like to pass on my thanks to the fabulous staff of a fabulous hotel for the Christmas break I spent there. Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful. I loved everything about this hotel from the delightful room with a Seaview balcony, the lovely piano lounge and terrace with views of Etna to the delicious and plentiful breakfasts where I squeezed my own orange juice each morning. I didn...

Position = 5 stars (close to the city of Taormina, restaurants and everything you want to visit) View = 5 stars (depending on the room, we took an Elegance room with balcony and sea views) Staff = 4,5 stars (very nice and friendly, but sometimes they forget what you ask them. If you remind them the next day, they are doing it) Breakfast = 5 stars (for a 4 stars hotel). What they are serving it’s fresh...

Wonderful situation near end of main drag making it both calm and convenient. A lot of old world charm but up to date as you need it to be. Charming personnel and most charming gardens and pool where you could easily while away an afternoon.

Great views of Mt. Etna, the sea, and the rest of Taormina. It sits at the end of Taormina's main boutique-lined street, giving you plenty of options for restaurants and shopping. The drinks from the bar were delicious and the staff was very kind. Everyone spoke moderate to very good English. My only complaints are with the room. There were no accessible sockets near the bed which made charging phones...

Located on the seafront, the hotel offers free shuttle to Taormina. Rooms are large, seaview is fantastic from top floors. The personnel is very helpful and kind (they prepared breakfast for us at 4.30 a.m. as we departed early). Bathrooms have poor lights and no hangers. Rooms are spacious and so are the balconies.

Stayed at this hotel for a weekend. It's beautiful, clean, staff are friendly, it's about 5 minutes walk to the beach. Breakfast is good. We had a wedding on Saturday evening, the food was lovely and the fireworks were great.

Great service and well cleaned rooms. Comfortable temperature and bed. Small fridge and safe available. Bathroom clean and recently refurbished. Breakfasts fair with good curtious service. Swimming pool clean and adequate. Lovely well kept gardens. Best thing is the private beach and comfortable free twin sunloungers. The sea was a joy to swim in. Only downers are no coffee/tea provided and the...

Amazing hotel with amazing staff. Hotel has a spa facilities, outdoor swimming pool and amazing pebble beach with crystal clear water, loads of sunbeds with umbrellas, beach bar & restaurant. Food is delicious and service absolutely amazing.

Great hotel for a comfortable family holiday. A cozy small area, beautiful garden, nice pool, close to great beach and the sea, elegant dinner with a delicious serving of meals.

Great place. Ideal value for money. Antique interiors, great service, will come back here again

Alessio and Elena were impeccable at the front desk. The hotel was clean and well maintained. They gracefully handled many non-standard requests. I would definitely stay here again with my wife.

I returned to the past! An old villa converted into a hotel. Vintage furniture Excellent breakfast Impeccable housekeeping Professional staff Central location We will meet often. Thank you.

A beautiful little boutique hotel with beautiful gardens and stunning surroundings. The rooms have old world charm and have very large and comfortable beds. Excellent location to get into the main areas but still far enough away to enjoy the quiet. We had a difficult time finding the hotel and would suggest a more detailed explanation about its location be given upon confirmation. Staff were lovely...

Outstanding staff in an atmospheric, vintage setting. The chef, Lino (pictured), was fun, creative and deeply rooted in regional Italian cooking. The dinners I had at the hotel surpassed those I have had at some Michelin starred restaurants. Don't miss this experience when in Taormina!

Great location and staff. Furnishings are a little dated. Would definitely stay here.

We enjoyed a great week there this September. The location is great with easy access to the town, the gondola to the beach & the bus station for trips out. The rooms are typically old Italian style but the views from the rooms and particularly the breakfast restaurant terrace are just terrific. The real gem of the hotel is the pool & poolside bar area. These are spacious, not crowded with a huge pool...

Great location, near enough to Taormina without being right in the hustle and bustle. Disappointed when I first saw the rooms, dated but clean. We had a fantastic terrace. Staff were great apart from 1 male on reception, breakfast had good continental style choice . No replacement of tea, coffee, sugar and milk unless you asked which was a pain. Lots of stairs and our room was in like a basement. Nice...

We stayed here for 3 nights in September 2023 with a last minute booking. The hotel is well priced for a hotel that has the perfect location. You are 5-10 minutes stroll to Taormina and well located to walk down or get the cable car to the beaches. The hotel has a beautiful location on the hill with lots of good views. The hotel has a nice pool area with a bar. It is a lot of steps down but it...

Had a wonderful stay, the hotel is old in places however the views are sensational, we could watch the sunrise from our room in the morning. The steps up and down to the pool aren't for anyone with walking difficulties but perfect for anyone looking to burn off all the pasta and gelato! I would definitely stay again. Staff were lovely and very helpful, we had a late flight home and they let us use...

Beautiful hotel on cliff overlooking Taormina and the sea. Close to town center with walking. Breakfast was delicious each day. Would definitely stay there again.

This is an old hotel with old furniture, it has been slightly renovated, but some areas being missed here and there. Go at your own discretion, I would avoid for a longer stay. Positive: - fantastic view, can't beat it, it alone deserves the stay - staff was friendly and nice - close to city centre - parking is a bit tight but manageable, would not go here with a large car anyway. - breakfast was...

very kind staff, clean, beautifull villa with pool, very nice breakfast, parking at the property, helpful with ideas about going around

Panorama fantastic place to mazzaro where the beautiful island of the coast pride

My wife and I had the pleasure to stay at this hotel a month ago. I say pleasure because this place checks all wish list boxes a guest would want to have checked when staying at a hotel. The location is great (free parking), the staff was very warm and pleasant specially Giovanna. She went out of her way to make our stay exceptional! Our room was quaint, comfortable and had a great balcony with...

Really nice hotel very friendly staff, lovely view from the rooms, would really recommend to anyone

Very cozy and nice hotel, away from the noise of Taormina, close to Naxos. Vivid Sicilian-style

Lovely place with really friendly staff. Recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a really traditional setting over looking the Med.

Very helpful staff. Great room, good pool and amazing public beach

Beautiful stay and lovely hotel. Staff very friendly especially Veronica.

Nice hotel. Room comfortable and clean. Buffet breakfast was lovely. Pool very simple. Close to beach and shops.

Stay 1 nite. Tour group. Beautiful great staff accommodation.

Inexpensive hotel in a great location. Near the beaches and only a couple of hundred meatres from the cable car to the centre of Taormina. Location 5/5 Rooms 3,5/5 Beds 2/5 Breakfast 3/5 Services 4/5

Well located, friendly staff, nice pool- balcony ocean view rooms have a great view. Our room in 330 was fine, not the Hilton but comfy. Very small TV- no cable. (Hope your Italian is good)Good breakfast. Would return.
