About the location
Holidays in Taormina marry history and culture to form an unforgettable experience in
Italy. It’s perched at the top of Monte Tauro in the foothills of Mount Etna on Sicily’s Eastern coastline, between the cities of Catania and Messina. This ancient town offers visitors a view into the past with a number of elegantly preserved historic treasures, from the grand Greek-Roman Theatre to the equally impressive Palazzo Corvaja, which are just waiting to be discovered.
You don’t have to be a history buff to make the most of everything Taormina has to offer. Alongside the historical sights there are plenty of other attractions to take in. The main street, Corso Umberto, is traffic free and home to an array of shops and restaurants to rival any in the bigger cities.
There are also plenty of seaside activities to dive into thanks to the town’s coastal setting. Adventurous travellers can try watersports like wind surfing and snorkelling, while relaxing scenic boat tours around the gorgeous capes and grottos of the Ionian Sea allow you to explore at your own pace. Alternatively, simply spend long tranquil days on sun soaked shingle beaches.
Transfer time
The hotel is 1 hour from Catania airport. Return private transfers included. To change your transfers or book car hire instead, simply call us once you’ve completed your booking.

We spent four days last September at the end of a Sicilian tour and it was a beautiful place to slow down and unwind. The setting on the hillside provides amazing views of the sea and Mt. Etna. The pool setting was lovely. We found the rooms a bit on the small side for the price we paid. That would be the only criticism. The food in the ballroom setting was excellent as well as by the pool. Location of the hotel next to the park and close to the town center was also a plus. Service by all employees was excellent!

A very off-season visit was well-rewarded. The rooms are clean with an old-fashioned elegance, and the amenities ample. It overlooked the water and what appeared to be ruins of some sort. The location is a fun 10-minute walk from the town's shopping street.
Tough getting to the hotel, though, as one entrance to the street was blocked by a gate, and Google couldn't figure out an alternate route.

This gracious, comfortable hotel has stunning views. These are obtained from many rooms, the dining and lounge room and a huge top floor terrace. The hotel dates to 1898 and has a long history of distinguished guests, including many literary figures and the intelligentsia. The dining room is magnificent, with high ceilings and Belle ??poque design and furnishings. It has gobsmacking coastal and sea views, as well as of Mount Etna. When we were there, one could admire, over breakfast, both a snowy Mount Etna and the sea views. Staff are professional and friendly. There is a generous, quality buffet breakfast, which was included with our tariff. Luncheon and dinner also was served daily, which was convenient and afforded guests more opportunities to enjoy the glorious views. Highly recommended.
