5 star hotels in Taormina

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

Amazing views, gorgeous setting & overall a must visit ! Food very expensive however you really do pay for the white lotus experience scene better than the TV series! Service was on top form especially being gluten free lots of options food wise and drinks were tasty

I would say this is the best hotel in Sicily. Everything are also FS standard, the room, BF are good as expect. The view from my room is so nice we can enjoyed the sea at the balcony. Swimming pool and chilling area around cover by D&G so very nice.

Stunning property great resort great vibe for corporate retreat. Food is fabulous. Walking distance to the little town and shops. Pool is beautiful. Staff were absolutely great. Definitely a place I would like to return to.

I had a lovely stay at the San Domenico Palace. Too bad I couldn't stay longer without sending myself to the poorhouse. Although my room was on the smaller side and in direct line of sight to a restaurant balcony, the view was still spectacular. Even the bathroom had a great view. The Staff was super friendly and accommodating and the property itself is superb, however I think so much more can...

This was my second visit to San Domenico Palace, Taormina, a location that holds a special place in my heart as it was where I got engaged during my first trip. The experience this time was just as enchanting, if not more so. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the stunning rooms, spacious and beautifully decorated, offering a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. The meticulous attention to detail in...

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!

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.

We had the best experience on the terace of the hotel with an aperitiv and the best view but Fabio was the one to make our night out really special. Incredible service, incredible guy, thank you Fabio and congratulations Belmond for hiring wonderful people like Fabio.

Outstanding in every aspect. Fantastic, friendly, helpful service. Gorgeous setting. Beautiful, clean rooms with lovely rooms and Acqua di Parma amenities. Location cannot be beat. Entrance is on main pedestrian road and property is adjacent to the Greek theater. Stay here and drive to other towns you want to visit on the eastern side of the island for day trips.

Our recent visit to the GHT was just exceptional in every respect. The reception, front desk, guest services and concierge teams are welcoming, resourceful and dedicated to making a visit to Taormina and this world class hotel a wonderful experience. Breakfast, dinners and cocktails come with a truly magnificent view of the sea and Mt Etna. The Michelin rated restaurant Otto Geleng is a memorable...

Came for a cocktail on the terrace it was stunning and worth the price. Service from single employee we encountered was welcoming and helpful - not so common. We loved our experience.

Exceptional Experience at Taormina Belmont I wanted to take a moment to share my recent experience at the Belmont Hotel in Taormina, which was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped by a sense of elegance and warmth that truly set the tone for my stay. The hospitality provided by the staff was exceptional; their dedication to excellent service surpassed even that...

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...

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...

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.

We recently stayed at this supposedly 4 star hotel. It was booked by a travel agency that used the on-line photos plus the 4 star rating. What we found was the hotel photos that didn’t match the real thing. Also, the carpets were filthy and threadbare on the stairways. We heard the hotel had been sold and that management is aware of the carpet problems. I feel our travel agent was misled and...

We loved the fact that this hotel was full of 'oldie worldie' character. We didn't mind that the antique carpets were worn in places. The bedroom and bathroom were spotlessly clean. They provided shampoo/conditioner, hairdryer & safety deposit box. The Breakfast buffet was delicious. We had a choice of cereals, fruit, yogurts, breads, ham, cheese, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, bacon and sweet pastries...

Family room was excellent. As advised in advance, it did not have a sea view but it had two bedrooms and plenty of space. Coming down to the breakfast room with it's panoramic view was a high light every morning. Similarly the pool had an amazing setting and view. WiFi was very poor (so 4 star for the room) in our room but I saw plenty people on laptops elsewhere around the property.

clean, nice pool, long bath, smashing view. Service was polite and efficient.

A bit pricey for what you get. My room was on the basement floor i think and you can smell a bit of the sewers not pleasant. Basic breakfast. Plenty of options around for lodging.

I originally booked a 2,000 yuan hotel next door which was very bad. I came to this hotel for a last minute room search. It was half the price and very clean. If it wasn't so old, it would definitely be a five-star hotel.

This Hotel was a perfect location for me. Close to the town either using bus(a short walk to stop) or cable car(the same short walk) & beaches especially Isabella. The hotel has its own roof terrace with its own pool. The Hotel is a little tired in places but there is a certain charm about the place. All staff were very friendly & helpful. You are able to book.excursions here too. Download the bus...

Well located between 5-10 mins walk from the famous isola Bella. Great restaurants nearby. They offer a private beach deal with shuttle service very nice. WiFi is okay not the greatest and same with room, maybe a bit overpriced. I only had breakfast included it was mostly bread and cereals, not too many options.

Best place with amazing, frendly staff and superb views!! The location is also perfect since there are all the needed services near: restaurants, atm, mini markets. It's very easy to take the cable car to Taormina that's 5min walk away. We would spend days on the beautiful beach Isola Bella and go to dinner to Taormina. It was the most perfect holiday. I can't praise the customer service enough here...

We can read lots of positive and negative critics for this hotel. I just left this hotel after a stay of 10 days and would like to bring some objectivity. The ratio price / quality / luxury is in the local market range. Of course, this is in reality not (anymore?) a four star hotel if you compare with northern European countries. Travellers must also consider the local culture that partially determines...

Overall would definitely recommend staying in this hotel. We only had 1 night here so didn’t need much, but we were very happy. The rooms a little outdated but definitely added character to the place, staff were so lovely and helpful, beautiful views and walking distance from everything you can need!! :)

If you are looking for a bright sparkly modern hotel this is not place for you. I had looked at this place when planning my trip to sicily and it ticked numerous boxes. % mins from the beach and the cable car and parking. It is a clean olde worlde place and like going back in time. The rooms are basic but functional we were on the 4th floor and had a small bathroom bed and small balcony with table...

Second stay. It is the first choice for Taormina accommodation. Convenient transportation. Delicious breakfast. Beautiful, clean and quiet environment. The staff are very enthusiastic. If my family and I go to Taormina for the third time, we will definitely choose here again.

We had a last minute change with my husband and my father (52, and 83) to Taormina and so it was a challenge with very little prep time where to stay in a vertical place with my elderly father who is in good shape but challenged by long walks, inclines and extreme heat. We did it all-- close to the bus station (4 minutes), Corso Umberto (8 minutes), the Antico Teatrico and the view cannot be beat...

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

Could not say better things about this place. The views from every angle, either mt etna or the water. The courtyard and garden were immaculate. Room was extremely clean. The best part for us though was the staff. Everyone behind the desk was so accommodating, helpful, and kind. They remembered our names and room number when we would walk in. 10/10 would recommend this place

This is a lovely, small boutique hotel with the best location in Taormina. Sadly doesn’t have a pool but they have deals with local beach clubs who pick you and take you back which we did for one afternoon. Take beach shoes as the sand is too hot to walk on and extremely pebbly and painful too!! The breakfast has to be confirmed night before and is a little disappointing. The terrace couldn’t be used...

10/10 experience. Quite possibly the friendliest warmest staff of any hotel I’ve ever experienced. Beautiful property in excellent location, gorgeous views from the rooms, right in the middle of the heart of Taormina. Breakfast and breakfast staff were amazing as well. We can’t wait to return.

Just returned from a week in Taormina and Hotel Villa Schuler was absolutely magical! This family-owned hotel delivered a truly first-class experience from start to finish. The staff genuinely cared about making our time special - arranging airport transfers, activity reservations, and even turning the delicious breakfast into something memorable each morning! You could feel their passion for hospitality...

My wife and I stayed in Hotel Villa Schuler in Taormina, Sicily from August 2nd till August 11th 2025. Our stay in Taormina and Hotel Village Schuler was fantastic. A special congratulations to all the efficiënt staff Roger en Martine Room 3

Oldest, privately owned hotel in Taormina (1905?) - beautiful art-nouveau decor and incredibly well tended garden - like a mini Kew Gardens - with fascinating array of (labeled) tropical plants and turtles! Very central (but tucked away from the chaos of the main street) and has its own parking garage (v reasonable cost). The hotel staff were incredibly helpful - recommending and booking 2 superb restaurants...

I Love everything about this place ❤️ the view breakfast early check in everything make it unforgettable ❤️❤️❤️🥂

There are few hotels to choose from in Taormina during the off-season. We finally chose this hotel. We didn't expect a good attitude, but it gave us a very good experience after checking in. The scenery here is really great. You can see the volcano directly from the room and the restaurant. The hotel's housekeeper is also very nice. He helped coordinate taxis and let us choose a hotel that uses public...

The scenery is so beautiful. Have breakfast while looking at the volcano and the sea.

The area where the Hotel is located is perfect. We had the "low budget" room No.103. The interior of the bedroom was very nice and the bed was very comfortable. But then the disappointment came. The bathroom had partly black mold on the wall. Nothing for guests with breath issues. They should choose the high price room to have a nice visit in Taormina. (For us it was okay, because anyway, we stayed...

Room was magnificent however cleanliness and hygiene leaves much to be desired. Bed linen was dirty, toilets were not cleaned and full of pubic hair left from previous visitors. Also fruit basket ordered with prosecco was also not up to standard. Otherwise staff was very friendly and helpful.

My husband and I spent three nights here while touring Taormina area. Hotel is lovely and well furnished with authentic decor. Staff is very helpful, friendly, and show pride in their work. Beautiful place to stay. Lovely breakfast.

The room has 2 bathrooms, which is really convenient for people traveling together. It is clean and sanitary. The store will recommend delicious restaurants. They are very local and delicious. If you are lucky, you will meet cute kittens for breakfast.

Because it was off-season when I went there, the main building was under renovation, and I stayed in an apartment nearby, which had nothing to do with the villa swimming pool. In addition, it rained heavily on the night I checked in, so... the ceiling was a little leaky, and I was worried that it would drip in the middle of the night, but fortunately it didn't. In addition, the facilities in this old...

The hotel is located halfway up the mountain, with beautiful scenery along the way. Since it is off-season, you don't need to worry about ZTL if you drive there in February, but the hotel villas and pool restaurant areas will not be open until March or April. The hotel apartment area is a separate building not far from the villa. Although it is an apartment, it is the most beautiful room I have stayed...

Taormina! The beautiful legend of Sicily~ I stayed in this hotel. Although the main building was closed, its apartment building was also great. The scenery was very beautiful, full of sea! It was great for a honeymoon ᖰ⌯'▾'⌯ᖳ

The scenery is beautiful, the price fluctuates greatly, it is worth it within 2000. I added 60 euros to change to a sea view room and breakfast, which is a great deal. The attitude of the service staff is so good, better than a five-star hotel

The Hotel Villa Belvedere in Taormina is one of the most beautiful hotels I know. It is the most beautiful hotel in Taormina. Best view of the bay, beautiful garden, lovely pool. The lively streets of Taormina are only a few minutes' walk away. The breakfast is delicious. Everything you need from savory to sweet and also small baked vegetables. No dinner is offered, but you can have snacks by the pool...

Old Hotel, need some renovation. Sea view is beautiful. Parking is a gift in this town.

Stated 4 stars, room a bit small and old and lack facilities like water glass, boiling water pot. Nicely decorated hotel but maintenence fair. Staff helpful. Parking charged extra €15. Good sea view from balcony. Close proximity to Porta Catania.

Duplex structure, good view. Not easy to park. Good breakfast view, you can see the volcano. Price is high.

Ok it's 5min walk uphill to get to the main road. But that's pretty much the only thing you can say about it, the hotel is truly lovely - rooms are charming, clean with a nice bar, AMAZING views (see picture) and.. Make you feel on holiday! It's not luxe, that's not the style. It's boutique. And it's surely one of the loveliest stays we had in a while. Breakfast is pretty tasty and having it with...

Okay, it's a 5 minute walk uphill to get to the main road. But that's about the only thing you can say about it, the hotel is truly lovely - the rooms are charming, clean, with a beautiful bar, AMAZING views (see picture) and.. Makes you feel like you're on vacation! This is not luxury, this is not style. This is a boutique. And this is by far one of the most wonderful stays we have had...

Nothing to say.... GO AND YOU WILL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WITH ANY DETAILS AND TASTE YOU ENJOY... EXCELLENT!

Heaven on earth! I would like to give 10 stars!😍 It was a birthday surprise for me, and this was the best, the most perfect birth day for me! I loved this villa with everything! I didn’t want to leave it😅Everybody was so nice, the owner personally showed us inside, and we got an upgrade to a junior suite for free!🥰 The breakfast and a dinner we’re amazing!Everything at superlative!🎉Highly recommend...

Where to begin... The rooms are beautiful and incredibly comfortable. Little details are never missed. The breakfasts were fantastic and my goodness, what a view. Etna one side and the Mediterranean the other. The staff were next level, so helpful and always so friendly. We bumped into the hotel owner and his daughter who I think now helps to manage the place... what a lovely character. Should...

A very satisfying accommodation experience.

The hotel is a 110-year-old castle hotel, located at the ancient city gate, with excellent service, good environment, and very exquisite. The hotel window is the sea view and the castle scenery. The hotel layout is very exquisite.

The hotel could not be in a better location with views of Etna, the town of Taormina and the sea. I had a single room. It was very small and only had a partial view which was a bit disappointing but I didn't pay much. The pool was shut which was a shame as although it is February it was warm and I would have liked a swim. I didn't eat at the hotel but did try to have a drink in the bar. Sat for around...

The location is good, right at the entrance of the city, with a wide view and a clear view of the volcano. There is a large garden in the hotel. The equipment is a bit old because of its age. The breakfast is average, but the stay is very comfortable and the service is good

Good environment, very satisfied

The location is at the end of the main street. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the bus station to the hotel. The hotel room height is relatively high, about 4 meters. The service attitude is good. However, the photo of the Ctrip hotel is wrong. There is no outdoor swimming pool at all😅

I don't understand why people say that the hotel was old and crumbling. I think it was great and clean.

Thanks to the girl who practically lives there 😄 unfortunately I don't know her name, but she's beautiful and very dear. Thanks.

It is a unit in a 3-star hotel complex. There is no pool at Villa Bianca, which is actually called Pequeno Príncipe. I was in the best room (911) and the heated towel rail was turned off. The light board was exposed behind the curtain and there was an “X”, indicating that it was not to be turned on. Fortunately, all I had to do was move the switch and it was heating up in no time. The air conditioning...

The fridge did not work and was not fixed during the entire stay

The room is old, but the view is pleasant.

Close to 2 beaches and cable car

Good laundromat nearby. Hotel is a bit of a hike up sets of stairs, but nonetheless convenient to the main area of Taormina. Staff were very helpful and friendly, especially Carmelo. Our room and the hotel in general had fabulous views. We enjoyed watching the smoking Etna from afar, during our second breakfast.

Great location, great views, and the staff was exceptionally helpful

Hotel was excellent. The staff were extremely helpful. Views from the room of the sea and Mount Etna were amazing. Lovely swimming pool and transport to beach of sister hotel was a real bonus

This hotel was not plush but it was lovely. Balconies were generous with views out over towards Catania, Etna and the Taormina bay. The pool was such a beautiful setting with a beautiful Mediterranean garden going up the mountainside and sweeping views of the town, bay, coast and Etna. The room was basic but lovely with a mini bar, seats, everything we needed really and a large window that opened as...

My stay at this hotel was like no other! I stayed here for 3 weeks and never felt so much like home. The hotel staff are incredible itself, super nice and hospitality is amazing. My favourite part was the view. At the end of the day it does have a vintage feel but that made me love it even more. Im definitely coming back same time next year. Grazie again to salvo and rosario !

The balcony had an amazing view of Mt. Etna and the city. We enjoyed the view a lot, but there were downsides. The beds were super uncomfortable compared to other locations we have been staying. The shower is also very tiny and hard to move around in. The staff was very helpful and friendly the entire time we just prefer not to leave our key everytime we were going out of the hotel. Our air conditioning...

Staff was amazing very freindly and helpfull, especially Elema. The only criticism was the air conditioning was not cold enough

Perfect hotelnfor our 4 person visit. Good wine. Clean rooms. The Spa was nice to decompress in. Close to the shopping and sites

The hotel facilities and equipment in Europe are average, but as long as they are convenient, you can't have too high expectations. The hotel is located on the highest hillside, next to a public parking lot, which makes it convenient to drive here by yourself, but it is difficult to get a parking space immediately in the peak season. The hotel itself has several parking spaces but the price is very...

Very close to the public parking lot and convenient to the attractions

The room is too close to the road. It feels like the cars on the road are about to turn into the room.

Stayed for 4 nights in a jacuzzi room with garden. Really nice clean room, great service. Because it was low season the bar and restaurant were not open but it’s just a short walk into town. The lady on the front desk was very friendly and helpful. My two criticisms were that our room didn’t have a smart TV so we could not stream content on our own language. We also couldn’t get a lie in if we tried...
