Hotels in Castelmola

Definitely want to come back again! Has great views and is very close to the main Taormina area.

Made a reservation at the patio bar just to step on to the spectacular property and see for ourselves. The vibe and atmosphere is amazing and worth the price of drinks to wander through the gardens and peek at the swimming pool!

I recommend this wonderful hotel to anyone who loves luxury stays. We escaped a fake 5-star hotel on the bay of Taormina and took refuge in this oasis of luxury and well-being. The staff was fantastic and the cleanliness was impeccable. The food was exquisite; the restaurant was Michelin-starred. This was our first experience in Sicily, and I must say, Taormina is truly magical. Come and discover this...

Spectacular hotel with perfect service. Wonderful food, a perfect location and all around great experience. A truly special property.

From the moment you arrive at Four Seasons San Domenico Palace, Taormina, you know you are somewhere extraordinary. Set within a former 14th-century Dominican monastery, the hotel seamlessly blends history, beauty, and modern luxury. Walking through its cloisters, gardens, and terraces feels almost surreal — every turn is a photo opportunity, framed by dramatic views of the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna...

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...

Hotel was in a great location in Taormina.  Valet parking was very useful.  Breakfast was great - lots of traditional Silcilian items on offer including delicious cakes and easter biscuits.  Would definitely recommend.

Very nice and quite new hotel in good condition.  Staff was very friendly, especially the staff in the breakfast / restaurant room was so nice and friendly, all of them. Thank you so much!  But one thing is really not very welcoming: Check out time 10:30 is just ridiculous. I know that it is normal in Italy, but international standard is 12:00.  I don´t feel welcome if I am kicked out at 10:30 a.m...

Lovely hotel, renovated and very close to the heart of Taormina. The hotel offers beautiful views and the breakfast buffet is very good, offering several homemade cakes, eggs, and more. Good value for money. My room, however, had no view, which was a shame.

The hotel is located just a few minutes from the Messina Gate, which leads into the old city. Valet Car is a very convenient service for those arriving by car: a hotel employee will pick up your car and transport it to the indoor city parking lot for €25 per day. The most affordable room has a view of the wall, albeit decorated with artificial greenery. The rooms are spacious and very clean, with tea...

Great hotel in a great location, close to the city center with a swimming pool. The only downside was the air conditioning which we couldn't get working in our room...

Very good. The guy at the front desk upgraded us to a room with a sea view balcony. It was really great. The swimming pool was also very good. The breakfast was also very rich. The room was not big but had all the facilities. The only downside was that there was no free water in the room.

Wonderful view Great location two blocks from the mainstreet. Ok room but with a wonderful terrasse with panoramic seaview and sun all day. Comfortable pool and wonderful terrasse for the breakfast. Could need some renovation/upgrade to keep the 4 stars.

The hotel has an amazing view of the coast and Mt Etna. And it is only a 5-10 minute walk down some stairs and hill to the main pedestrian street. Breakfast is good and can be enjoyed on the terrace with the view. One drawback is the shower is ridiculously small with a lightweight curtain that comes against you so there is no room to wash and water gets all over the floor.

The hotel is a bit tired; it needs to be modernized. I can imagine in the 50s/60’s it was the place to be in Taormina. There are many pictures around the hotel from that period showing the glamorous lifestyle then. I specifically paid a room with a view of Taormina Bay and Mount Enta, have a look at the photo’s and you’ll see my problem, they could not change it. That said the hotel staff were...

Wonderful views Excellent pool Very clean Staff helpful and friendly Toilet in room had a poor flush Simple and good breakfast as expected for this price point Very good coffee

Trip of a life time Loved the location- it was a celebrating trip for my daughter graduating from college - the staff cleanliness everything was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️would stay again

Michele Angelo was great to deal with. Gave us amazing suggestions and was always there to answer all my messages. Location was prime area and close to it all! Thank you for everything!!!!

This 120-year-old grand dame of a hotel is filled with character. It’s not shiny and new and WiFi is patchy in the rooms but it is ideally located and has a lovely pool area and gorgeous views.

Unmatched price point for location, grounds, parking, views in Taormina

4-star hotel...but the photos speak for themselves. The room didn't live up to the common areas. It's shameful to assign a room like this, booked in May.

The hotel is located at the very end of the main street. For those taking the bus up the mountain, you'll need to walk about 1.2 kilometers to reach the hotel. Although old, the common areas have been largely renovated and are well-maintained. The high ceilings make for a comfortable and pleasant experience, and the staff are friendly. I even had a room tour of my single room. The hotel's extra services...

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...

Received the last room available at the last minute! Great hotel and beautiful area and property.

Clean room was small but we didn’t spend much time in it overall great location and very friendly staff

Our group had compilcated needs and these needs were all met. Nice hotel in great location off the main drag of Taormina.

The location is very good, get to the catherdral from the garden only takes 3 minutes. We can see Etna from our balcony. The Sky roof top restaurant is vey nice, good food and wine, with view of Etna. Breakfast is also there, very nice selections.

We were very satisfied with the room, located on the second floor. There wasn't the rooftop music we expected at night. A highlight was the complimentary lemonade at the front desk, and they could help call a taxi to the bus terminal (note that you should make sure the taxi fare is the same as what you agreed beforehand, as they might try to charge extra). We were initially directed up stairs by Google...

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Our room was newly renovated, with a beautiful design, a stunning bathroom, and a lovely terrace where we enjoyed our mornings. The location was perfect – just a short walk to the main pedestrian street, accessible through a peaceful, green garden. The service was outstanding, and the breakfast offered an impressive variety of delicious options. Everything felt...

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...

Rooms were spotless and staff was extremely pleasant and accommodating. The location is fabulous and the breakfast terrace with an incredible view of Mt. Etna was a nice treat.

Excellent all around. Staff very helpful with suggestions and making arrangements for us. Great location.

The hotel is in a beautiful old Sicilian mansion, very elegant and full of old world charm. The staff was excellent, the breakfast delicious and the experience was outstanding.

The staff are amazing and super accommodating to us for our stay. Fantastic communication and would love to come back one day. Thank you for all your support and wonderful stay.

Staff members were very helpful and nice.

It was my first time traveling on my own, and also my first time looking for a hotel on a map. The most important thing is that this time the experience was great, without any disappointments. I drove up from the foot of the mountain thinking that the hotel I booked was very high up in the mountain, but it turned out to be in the center. It was very convenient to go everywhere. It's a beautiful place...

Magical location with unbeatable views of Mount Etna and the coastline. Authentic charm of Castelmola and its genuine local atmosphere. Family-run hotel with warm, kind, and genuinely hospitable owners. Peaceful environment with no unnecessary distractions (no televisions). Nostalgic 70s-80s charm with simplicity and character. Emphasis on authenticity, calm, and human connection over luxury. Overall...

We stayed at this hotel in Castelmola, and I must say — the location is absolutely magical. From almost every room you can see Mount Etna rising in the distance, and the view over Taormina is simply breathtaking. The hotel is situated in a charming little town with a wonderful, genuine local atmosphere that immediately wins you over. What truly makes this place special, though, is not the view — it...

Stayed in a wonderful double room with breakfast served on the terrace. The views of Mt Etna and the coastline is simply superb! Enjoyed very reasonably priced local Sicilian wines to soak up the terrace views. Service was superb, reception even assisting us with parking in the narrow Castelmola streets. Superbly located to explore the wonderful Castelmola with busses providing access to Toarmina....

I loved everything about this property. The shuttle to town is very frequent and very easy. I ate at the restaurant twice when staying there and it was excellent as well. Everything tou need is in this town and easy to get into Taormina. Ciao

The view from this property is absolutely spectacular. The family who owns the hotel is lovely and accommodating. It’s a very basic room, but the views more than make up for it. Would highly recommend!

The first and only thing you need to know is that this hotel is fabulous. Yes, it’s 2-3* depending on where you look, why? Because hotels are rated on their amenities. Kettle, nope, but ask for hot water at the bar. Hair dryer, nope, but you get offered one on check in. No tv in the room, why do you need it, breathe in the mountain view and air. This isn’t your Hilton or your Four Seasons, but it...

An absolutely enchanting stay at Borgo Medievale in Castelmola! While the location and views are spectacular, what truly made our trip unforgettable was the exceptional customer service and warmth provided by Lorenzo D'Allura. Lorenzo is the epitome of hospitality—he ensured every detail was perfect, and thanks to him, our entire stay was smooth and incredibly pleasant. We left feeling grateful and...

Very nice suite, amazing view of Etna, medieval theme is quaint, bed is ok, the wind at night makes the doors shake/noise, it’s right near the piazza/restaurants. We had little idea how high up the mountain this was, and the communication video regarding load in wasn’t to our suite, but reception (it’s a diffuse hotel). Plus it’s a ZTL zone, so we opted to lug bags up stairs from a car park below...

Balcony views of the volcano Etna and steps away from a piazza offering cafes, gelato, and Bar Turrisi. The little renovated farmhouse is a stand alone cottage, for those who appreciate their privacy. AC works great. Tour guides pick you up and drop you off. Bus stop at Piazza San Antonio brings up and down the mountain.

Tucked away in the heartof the magical medieval citadel of Castelmola, the Borgo Medievale offers both a comfortable stay and warm hospitality. The rooms are spacious and have cooking facilities. If you want to relax there is a very pleasant spa. Eateries and scenery and stunning. What more could you want? Simply lovely.

We stayed in the King Arthur room which sees its strengths in the refined furnishings and in the splendid terrace overlooking the sea - mountain. Unfortunately the positive notes stop here in the light of the really unpresentable breakfast (we were ashamed for them) from the cleaning of the apartment not exactly impeccable and from the fact that some accessories were broken (microwave - switching on...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for those like us who love to spend romantic weekends in the name of relaxation .. in this case in a small medieval village like Castelmola. Central location (a stone's throw from the Duomo), clean rooms and SPA and excellent hospitality from the staff always available to satisfy our small requests .. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Would definitely stay here again. Check in with Tomas very pleasant. Room was exactly as shown in pictures. Smelled very nice in person and was immaculately clean. Beautiful grounds and felt very secure. Was also quiet and peaceful despite being right next to arched entrance to Main Street, shops, grocery store etc. Wifi, heating, water pressure, lighting, etc all worked well. Didn’t have the opportunity...

Excellent location Elegant and comfortable Outstanding staff. Carmen is a true gem

I had a wonderful stay at Medusa Suites in Taormina. The location in the historic center is perfect, and the interior design is beautiful and stylish. The staff were kind, welcoming, and very helpful. Cleanliness was of a very high standard throughout the property. The food at the Bistrot was delicious and added even more enjoyment to the stay. Highly recommended!

I can’t say enough about the staff here! So kind, thoughtful, and go above and beyond! The property is in a great location and the breakfast terrace is dreamy. I stayed in two different categories. The 1st floor room is huge, and well taken care of with tons of closet space and a sitting area. The upper level room was smaller and more cozy, but had an incredible walk-out balcony with lounge chairs...

Extremely welcoming staff! Went above and beyond for everything, including giving my daughter a small gift for her 2nd birthday. Very clean, would highly recommend

The exterior of the property was so beautiful. We enjoyed eating fresh pastries and fruit outside on the patio. The service was excellent and accommodating;. The rooms were clean but dated. I would stay here again.

Excellent atmosphere. Detailed attention. Quiet. Close to center. Whatever was needed, was availsble. Snd very clean and comfortable. Ed Tasca & Tasha

It was so comfortable to stay in this place. Each three rooms has its own bathroom, all clean. The small but well equipped kitchen with coffee and some fetta biscottata, jams…was convenient. Only a couple of 100m to Porta Catania, one of two entrance gates to the town. You have to park the car at one of big car park, which was not cheap..

Comfortable Bed& Breakfast Dionisio We like the house that is very centralized and close to the “ porta Catania”.

Our hosts were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Excellent location, close to all the sights. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spotless!

Tiny room, convenient location Hosts were communicative and helpful.

The hotel is in an excellent location and the hosts are delightful! This was the best hotel breakfast I've had in quite some time - fresh fruit and juice, local bread and cheese, and a beautiful presentation. The front patio is lovely for a relaxing place to read, chat, watch passersby. Self service laundry literally steps away. Parking everywhere in Taormina is rough but we made it work. We found...

Angela and Rosario are wonderful and helpful hosts. The accommodation is beautiful and comfortable with breakfast on the terrace a treat. Perfect and central location.

Rosangela’s B&B is at a calm and beautiful location. She was very welcoming to our family and the breakfast was delicious! Hope we can come back soon!

Bed-and-breakfast Rosangelina was a small but clean and quiet room. We were a family of four adults, and this included a large full-size bed and two bunkbeds. The room was clean, but not many places to place luggage. The breakfast was outstanding with a variety of sweet rolls and savory items along with coffee and tea. This is not the lap of luxury, but nice place and we were fortunate to Use one of...

The ladies running this bed & breakfast are extremely welcoming and friendly. They really make you feel at home, the garden is beautiful and the breakfast served is absolutely delicious. The rooms are very clean and very nice, also with a lovely balcony. I really hope I will get to come here again. This is an amazing place, I recommend it highly.

Kind, accomodating hosts. A short walk from the centre (no easy parking by the b&b though). A pleasant, clean place, with a nice balcony and breakfast in the garden. Would highly recommend!

Great place, great host, very comfortable, very quiet, located in a pretty neighborhood a few minutes walk from the town center.

The room was clean and cozy, feeling right at home, and the staff were very helpful. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see Mount Etna 🌋, but overall, the hotel is highly recommended!

The environment is nice, and the balcony has a good view.

This was one of the more satisfying stays during my trip. The older manager was very professional; it was quite remarkable that he communicated with me via WeChat when there was no WhatsApp available. He introduced me to good restaurants nearby and how to get around, which was very thoughtful.

My jaw may have dropped a bit waking into the suite. It is nicely appointed and has the most amazing rooftop deck with a view of the sea. I may have missed seeing some other things in Taormina because I was obsessed with enjoying the outdoor space! The staff couldn’t have been friendlier, giving local recommendations and helping figure out local transportation. It was a staircase away from the Courso...

We really enjoyed our stay here during our girls’ trip. We stayed in the Exclusive and Studio. Both had a kitchenette. The location was perfect, just minutes from the Main Street for shopping (Corso Umberto). Rooms have a great view.

First of all, I don't know why this hotel has such a high rating. First, this hotel is not a hotel in the strict sense, and there is no 24-hour front desk (which caused us a lot of inconvenience later) Second, we booked the most expensive room type in this hotel, but it is very far from the sea and the volcano! It is on the mountain! It is very inconvenient to go to the beach or any check-in point...
