5 star hotels in Taormina

Great location. Awesome staff. Excellent breakfast buffet

Staff super helpful and very nice, very easy to walk to principal streets and all main in taormina. Good parking logistics. Room in good condition.

Staff 5/5 Location 5/5 Lobby 5/5 Room 2/5 Felt more like a 4 star than a five star. Not anything like the 5 star hotels we stay at.

Staff at hotel were fantastic. We arrived ate and they sorted out all the parking and got us all set up for the week. Big thank you to all of you for making it a wonderful stay, you made it a special week for all the right reasons. Property was good, everything worked and Lu Souli Bar and Restaurant excellent food too.

A great hotel that was very well positioned for all the local attractions. The staff were really committed to good customer service - a special shout out to Monica, who was so friendly and attentive whilst serving breakfast. I would've thanked her in person but she finally had a day off and it was our last day(!) If the pool had been heated then the stay would've been perfect 👌 (but this was April

The staff at this hotel were very hospitable. They assisted with plans, dining reservations and provided parking service. Throughout our stay they called to check up on us and ask if everything was to our satisfaction. I felt sick during our stay and they even called to ask how I was feeling and if there was anything I needed. Overall excellent experience at this hotel.

Unbeatable sea view, with a private car to the town

Overlooking the Ionian Sea, the Grand Hotel San Pietro is a beautiful hotel with landscaped gardens and excellent amenities. The staff are extremely courteous and helpful and the rooms are well appointed and very comfortable.  Located within a 10-15 minute walk of the shopping and sightseeing area of Taormina, makes this 5 Star hotel an excellent choice.  The staff, as mentioned, are very courteous...

Staff is 6 stars and relatable for such high end service Genuinely liked being there Beds need an upgrade to match everything else

Lovely hotel with stunning ocean views Hotel is a modernized property with stunning panoramic sea views. Whilst overall the hotel is very nicely furnished and very clean there are some areas still needing refurbishment like outdoor woodwork. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We would come back again.

The whole experience was amazing The staff especially Antonella and Virginia were welcoming and attentive Virginia showed us up to our room and we even had a nice surprise in the room The breakfast everyday was excellent , the staff gave us an excellent table facing the sea everyday and were always on hand to help if needed Everyone here is very attentive and courteous and made our whole holiday enjoyable...

The hotel maintains a very high standard for personal client relations. Our every question was addressed promptly and courteously.

Our family planned a last-minute trip to Taormina. Needless to say, finding a hotel on short notice wasn’t easy. Our travel agent recommended a few options, but we discovered LaPlage on our own. When I sent it to her, she was hesitant—she had never sent clients there before. We decided to trust our instincts, and I am so glad we did. Let me start by saying we are well-traveled and have high expectations...

It was a difficult decision to make on whether to stay by the beach or stay at a property at the main and vibrant streets of Taormina, I believe we took the right decision by staying at La plage. The hotel is great and the bungalows are small but more than you need. Some have private gardens and others have a private jacuzzi. The breakfast is good and the terrace where breakfast is served has a super...

Beautiful resort of the middle of Isolabella! Let’s breakdown the pros & cons…. Pros: - Beautiful ground and serene ambiance - cable car close by in order to get into Taormina bc the resort is in its own cove. - The focus is on the grounds and not the rooms. - Great spa - Breakfast included and it’s delicious. - ability to hire private drivers and and get cabs fast through the concierge - Excellent...

A true luxury hotel. We had the opportunity to stay in the bungalow room and the deluxe room; both with sea view. They were each amazing and had their own special charm. The staff were so friendly and professional. We loved their breakfast as well. You cannot beat these views and you get the perfect beach with the view of isola Bella right at your footstep.

I came here for my birthday and absolutely loved the beach resort. Cocktails were great. And the service was especially amazing. Irene was a very attentive host and very kind. She even brought me a fruit platter for my birthday that i really appreciated. I also got to try the amazing ginger sweets from Simone that were delicious. I will highly reccomend this place.

We just had the most wonderful stay at La Plage. We arrived and were seen immediately and offered a drink whilst we checked in. We were then given a tour of the hotel and some information on the local area. We were shown to our room which was a sea front bungalow with a hot tub. Just gorgeous! We had the most beautiful view of Isola Bella. The next morning we were awake before the birds for an...

10/10! Exceptional experience. Although we were not staying at the Four Seasons Taormina on this visit, we are already in the process of planning our stay for fall 2026 for a special celebration, and this experience only reinforced that decision. We came for lunch at Anciòvi and arrived later than planned due to issues at our hotel elsewhere. Despite this, the team was incredibly accommodating and...

10 star experience! WOW! What a phenomenal property and people. My husband & I have stayed in some luxurious places around the world and this one is at/near the top. We enjoyed every second during our recent stay. The grounds were gorgeous and immaculate, the interior was like walking through a modernized monestary with the addition of beautiful art pieces, the food was exquisite, the infinity pool...

The hotel is gorgeous. Not huge but good size. The rooms were clean, elegant and had all the accessories you need. The hair dryer was awesome!! They clean your room twice a day! Not necessary but nice. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly and happy. I loved that.

This was our second time visiting the San Domenico Palace for drinks, and once again, everything was absolutely perfect. The setting is stunning, the atmosphere elegant, and the service impeccable. The staff were extremely attentive, making us feel welcomed and well cared for throughout our visit. A special thanks to Juri, who went out of his way to ensure we felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment...

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. The service was outstanding—every staff member was incredibly respectful, professional, and went above and beyond to make my stay perfect. The rooms are beautiful, spotless, and filled with a fresh, elegant scent that makes you feel instantly relaxed. The facilities are exceptional: the pool, the spa, and every detail of the hotel are simply amazing...

Visited the Four Seasons Hotel for dinner, and it did not disappoint! There was a great singer in the court yard which just set a great vibe for the evening. The little canapés given with the wine were tasty. Lovely wine, amazing views & tasty food. The setting of the hotel is unbelievably pristine

Me and my sister recently (September 2025) enjoyed a wonderful holiday in Sicily, staying at the beautiful Mazzaró Sea Palace in Taormina. From the moment me and my sister we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure both my sister and I felt truly looked after. The hotel itself was impeccable, spotless, elegant, and catered perfectly to all our needs. A special mention...

We had the most beautiful time at Mazzaro Sea Palace! I have stayed there before but wanted to take my family back to experience the amazing features this hotel has to offer. Beautiful pool area! The kids made so many friends! And we all loved Salvatore, the lifeguard! The beach area is great too with plenty of sun beds. The service throughout the hotel is wonderful! Breakfast offered a great variety...

I had a wonderful stay at the Mazzarò Sea Palace. The hotel is right on the beach, and the view was amazing. The food was excellent, and the service was top notch. Everyone on the staff was kind and helpful, especially the concierge, who gave me great recommendations and made everything easy. The property itself is beautiful and very well kept. I also highly recommend trying Blum , the Michelin-featured...

If you ever get the chance to stay here, you owe it to yourself to take that chance. Easily one of my top 3 hotels in the world. I could rave about every aspect of this hotel - the design of the rooms (important as our family of four had no issues finding space for all of our luggage and personal items, yet the room was still very comfortable), the team that works at the hotel, the pool, the restaurant...

We stayed at Mazzaro Sea Palace during our trip to Sicily. The hotel property, accommodations, food and beverages, staff hospitality and customer service were all beyond exceptional. My husband and I felt so welcomed and the staff from the front desk to the bar greeted us by our names. Each time we had a request for a dinner reservation or a taxi, they were so responsive. We loved our sea balcony view...

World class hotel. Location is superb. Breakfast was fantastic. Dinner location (same as breakfast) can’t be beat but would eat elsewhere- there are so many options in Taormina. A true treat and staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. Bravo!

Excellent hotel. The staff are brilliant.

Stunning and unique hotel in a wonderful tranquil location. The pool area is wonderful but the sea is even better, especially to go swimming in! There’s a gentleman who lives next door who has all the water sports that is always on the beach, which was fun! The buffet breakfast is a 10/10, they have everything. The cocktails at the pool are decent, but even better in the evening from the bar. However...

Great location Friendly and helpful staff

If you are looking for paradise come to visit this marvellous hotel

Superb location, kind beach bar and pool personal, overpriced. Old types of rooms- is not a good choice! Mediocre breakfast (*5 hotel charge for eggs Benedict and different other options - is not a good deal, especially if you are paying around €1k daily). Scrambled eggs - special story))) Guys please you need to hire someone who can show you real things and how eggs must be cooked. Overcooked eggs...

Amazing location. Nice comfortable rooms and decor. Food very expensive but I found if you make a left up the hill about 1/4 of a mile your find a local italian grocery shop. I bought bread and cold cuts and olives and cheeses and enjoyed my italian lunch on there patio overlooking the Mediterranean sea watching local fisherman deliver to a small restaurant around the street where the owner made...

We spent a wonderful four nights at Palazzo Vecchio in mid September. The location, just off Corso Umberto, was great. Up a few flights of stairs, it was set back and up from the road so was quiet, yet in the hub of restaurants/shops etc. Our room was large, comfortable, well taken care of throughout our stay, and had a nice view of the sea. Miriam was so very helpful in making our reservation...

A beautiful hotel in the center of Taormina with great breakfast and excellent service .also the dinner was very good .the staffs of the hotel very helpful and nice .i would love to notice Mr Antonio at the reception and Mr Francesco from the restaurant was super nice and helpful, they make our stay there even much more comfortable and helped us with every question or problems we had .the roof top...

The Hotel is the best in Taormina with spectacular views and amazing staff. The restaurant is delicious, quiet and chic. The rooftop bar is the best with fantastic views and delicious cocktails. It's very elegant. The palette is beige with historical decor and a wonderful spa too. Cherry on the cake, the spa on the ground floor will make the stay unforgettable. It's highly recommended, luxury at its...

Beautiful hotel close to the main area. The star to this property is the hotel staff from the concierge, to front desk and to the fabulous breakfast staff in the am. We had arrived late and the dining options were closing and kept the restaurant open for us and offered us a traditional Sicilian meal! First of many fabulous meals here. The roof top was great - we enjoyed a drink every night before dinner...

This hotel is just so classically beautiful. The location is amazing - tucked away from the main hustle and bustle but just a few steps away from the main drag. The rooms were well stocked and beautiful, full of light. Very spacious and comfortable (the linens were divine).

We've had a wonderful experience in Taormina including an excellent stay at the Palazzo Vecchio. The hotel premises are very comfortable, but the service was really the highlight. We'd like to congratulate all the team, but also to make a special consideration for Antonio - the Concierge, who provided us with an outstanding support, making us feel at home with the best tips about the region attractions...

What an absolute treat .. we enjoyed drinks and light lunch on the beautiful Terrace with great views of Mount Etna. It was just perfect as was Fabio our amazing waiter. He must get a mention as the best waiter in the world. Thank you SO much for making our afternoon such a perfect one.

Last time, the San Andrea. This time, the Timeo. The view remains unchanged —Etna! The sea below spreads itself like a promise, or a threat. But let us speak of the pigeons. They are not your ordinary urban scavengers. The pigeons of the Grand Hotel Timeo are imperialists. They have studied Machiavelli. One — let us call him Generalissimo — stationed himself at my table. He had a schedule. I was...

We didn’t stay at the hotel but instead visited the restaurant and bar and it was lovely! I ordered a spaghetti and tomato sauce and it was delicious and the service was incredible. Our main waiter was called Fabio I think and he was so kind! Food and atmosphere was amazing!

My wife and I had sunset drinks at the grand hotel Timeo terrace bar and were served by Fabio. From the first interaction he was charming and an overall delight which continued throughout our time there. Fantastic service

An absolutely outstanding five-star hotel and experience in every respect. I booked our final night at Grand Hotel Timeo as the culmination of my fiancée’s and my Italian adventure, with the intention of proposing during our stay. From the very beginning, it was everything I hoped for—romantic, intimate, and truly special. The property itself is stunning, with beautiful private gardens, a serene pool...

If you want to experience luxury along with local charm and comfort, stay at the Belmond Hotel. With its location, breathtaking views, and authentic design, the Grand Hotel Timeo is truly a beautiful property. Inside, the Michelin-starred restaurant and the rich breakfast are very satisfying in terms of taste. The staff were also very attentive and helpful.

This is a top hotel and fantastic surroundings, like directly from a movie. Staff is very friendly and serviceminded. Exellent food and locations of restaurants.

A great retreat for a beach vacation! Fantastic and beautiful location, excellent service all around, comfortable, and easy access to central Taormina via cable way and hotel shuttle. Excellent cocktails and food options onsite. The clearest water I’ve ever seen. Relaxing and tranquil pool with attendant and bartender.

This hotel is beautiful. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful and engaging. Four star food choices. The breakfast was extensive with lots of choices.

Beautiful hotel on the gorgeous Mazzaro bay. Exceptional service. Was a great experience to meet the twin sister to Grand Hotel Timeo where we also stayed. Loved the beachside vibe and 'slightly" younger clientele. Would definitely return.

I recently stayed at Villa Sant’Andrea for one night with my wife and one-year old before moving to the nearby Four Seasons San Domenico Palace for the rest of our stay in Taormina. We initially planned to only stay at the Four Seasons, but we had to be re-accommodated at Villa Sant’Andrea for one night due to a reservation issue at the Four Seasons. We were ultimately glad we had a chance to experience...

we spent three wonderful days. Relaxing and exploring Taormina. We booked an Etan wine tour and a complementary boat tour through the concierge. Both tours were fantastic. Was nice to get back to sit on the beach and by the pool. the service was impeccable and the hotel was beautiful. We had a wonderful dinner at ristorante St Andrea and the breakfast there is terrific as well.

The hotel is very good. Although the swimming pool is not big, it has a beautiful view. The lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful in introducing attractions and restaurants. The breakfast is also very good. You can have breakfast facing the sea. The service staff is also very friendly. The location of the hotel is very convenient. It is right at the entrance to the city. It is very convenient...

Very nice hotel in the center of Taormina. Positive services, the only flaw being a 5 star was having to call the reception only once for cleaning

the quiet oasis in the overcrowded Taormina, beautiful garden and pool

My fiance’ and I stayed at the Ashbee hotel for 9 days. Everything, from the breathtaking and spectacular views of the coastline, to the clean and comfortable rooms, to the very central yet quiet location, to the professionalism and kindness of the staff, to the beautiful garden and the delicious food, was superb. We would recommend this stunning boutique hotel to everyone who wants to experience the...

Phenomenal boutique hotel in the heart of Taormina. We had a wonderful week's stay at The Ashbee Hotel, along with wonderful service, breathtaking views, a gorgeous swimming pool and top-notch breakfast every morning. The hotel overlooks the ocean and area below and is very quiet and private. It is very close to the main restaurant/shopping area in Taormina (just a 5 minute uphill walk) so you have...

Excellent service, charming views

Beautiful venue. Looking out over the vineyards and a short walk uphill to the winery

This time I booked a room with a terrace and a private pool. The scenery is 10 points good And it’s in the main street, so the location is very convenient. But I found a lot of insects entering the private swimming pool. The staff's attitude is very good and kind.

Quite satisfied. The cleanliness was great when I first arrived. Later, the cleanliness was sloppy every day. But the waiter was very enthusiastic.

Facilities: Modern, simple and elegant decoration style Sanitation: Clean Environment: Great location, too close to the square, some people drink and chat loudly at one or two o'clock in the night, affecting rest Service: Very good

There’s some issue with my check in and the hotel staff wanted to send me away to another hotel. At last, it was settled after several negotiation directly with the hotel and through trip.com. After all, still a pleasant hotel to stay.

The best location in Taormina. We stayed five days. Excellent service and rooms. The beds are excellent. The views are amazing. The food is very good. Great breakfast spread and dinners are excellent. The staff is outstanding. Will stay here again
