3 star hotels in Taormina

Amazing location with fantastic views towards Mt Etna and main Piazza.

This place exceeded my expectations after reading all the negative reviews. It had a beautiful view from our balcony and was close to all the major attractions of lovely Taormina. The only thing I would bring to management's attention is the bathroom. It wasn't the cleanest, but otherwise, hotel is pretty good.

Very central comfortable clean. Fealing at home in the hearth of taormina

Must visit everything pistachio and delicious and you must meet the owner he is generous and very nice friendly person

This place has art everywhere. It's amazing. Roof top bar and staff is amazing. Go here if you are ever close.

Art hotel in old town center, small problem with parking, parking house is 10min walk. But rooms, service is perfect. Amazing view, listen the music from the streets...

The front desk staff was so friendly and helpful! This is a really cute hotel. It's not extremely fancy, but it was clean and we really enjoyed our stay. The view from our room was spectacular. The pool was clean and accessible without restriction. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful views, excellent air-conditioning, and a lovely pool area made for a very comfortable stay. The hotel itself is a bit older, but that only adds to its charm. Parking can be a slight hassle, but the walk into town is manageable and worth it. Considering the price, it was an excellent visit to a truly beautiful part of the world.

welcomed with warmth and professionalism. A special thank-you to Director Claudia and her fantastic team, Nicoletta and Veronica, who truly went above and beyond to make us feel special.

The hotel is located in a quiet seaside setting with convenient transportation. While the hotel facilities are somewhat old-fashioned, they have a strong cultural atmosphere, and the staff are very welcoming. Breakfast and dinner are provided at the hotel.

The hotel was nice, I'd give it a good review. The staff were very friendly and answered all my questions patiently and attentively. The entire hotel is clearly an old building, probably over a hundred years old or even several decades old, with a strong sense of history and tradition. Breakfast at €10 is quite good value, with several cakes to choose from. Actually, for people getting to Taormina...

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...

This hotel has the best views in Taormina—sunrise over the sea from our balcony was unforgettable. The breakfast room and gardens are beautiful, and it’s just a 10-minute walk to the center. Parking is easy (€25/day). The room could use a few updates, but we’d stay here again 1,000 times over. A truly special place.

The hotel breakfast was delicious, and the view was beautiful. The staff were very friendly and waited for us even though we arrived late. The room had a stunning view of the sea, making for a wonderful experience.

Beautiful view and great hotel!

A wonderful inn in Taormina. Spectacular views from high up over the water looking out to sea, to Mt. Etna, and Taormina. Most rooms have private outdoor seating and lounging areas. Access to a beach (it's a climb back up). Free parking on a very narrow, switchback entry drive. The staff will meet you and cheerfully and skillfully park the car for you. Very attractive public spaces and breakfast room...

Our ocean view room with Terrace allows for a wonderful sunrise view in the morning with a sunset in the afternoon. Plenty of fresh air ventilating through the main doors and side window. Bed is a little hard, but it works for such an outstanding view. Wonderful breakfast, possibly the best choices of any we’ve seen in Italy over the last month.

What an amazing property! The staff is very professional yet polite and helpful. They parked the car for us and handled our luggage. Our room was amazing with great views out two balconies! The terrace bar and breakfast area was large and also had amazing views. Just a short walk up the hill to Taormina, which has fantastic restaurants! Loved staying here!!

An excellent hotel for its category. Everything is clean and modern. The breakfast is fantastic. It's close to the main street, the bus stop, and the funicular for the beach. Overall, Taormina is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and fabulous architecture. So, where you stay, or which hotel, doesn't really matter!

A wonderful hotel in a great location, near the bus stop (with buses to Catania and the airport) and also close to the descent to Isola Bella. The room is clean and new, with a balcony overlooking the sea. There's a safe. Hearty breakfasts: eggs, tuna, croissants, fruit, cheese, and delicious coffee. The terrace on the 4th floor offers stunning views. The staff is polite and friendly. It's very close...

Excellent establishment. From the moment you walk in, you're treated with the best attention from the receptionists and the owner. The view of the sea and Mount Etna is splendid. Everything is very, very good. 100% recommended

All nice, pity that it seems like an old glory, with a little attention it could become a glory again. However for the price paid and the location we could not have wished for better.

The hotel is in a good location, the overall room size is reasonable, tidy, the breakfast is also good, , but the price is not very attractive. The hotel staff was not very polite. We were in a hurry when checking out, but the staff preferred to continue chatting with other customers rather than taking our check-out key. It was not until I expressed many times that I really had to catch the bus...

Nice hotel! I had a very late check-in after they closed the reception. Very strange! I chose a hotel with a 24/7 reception! They left me a note with detailed instructions on the hotel door. It said that I would find the keys to the room in the door, but they were not there!!! My sleepy brain could only think of going down to the empty reception and picking up the keys from there. There were no questions...

Great place to stay for the price, 10minute walk down the stairs to get to the center of taormina, beautiful outdoor pool with a poolbar. The view is just incredible!

Great views, helpful and friendly staff. Swimming pool was a lovely bonus. Room was ok, bathroom/shower not so great. Be prepared to get fit if you plan to walk into town and back. Would definitely recommend especially for the price.

Hotel Sole Castello is above Taormina and just below Castelmola with fabulous views of Naxos, the coastline, Etna which is fuming every now and then. The northern coastline to the rear. Rooms clean bed comfortable, staff very helpful, parking available, a plus for Taormina. Very recommended specially for the view, shower very small

Overall, I would recommend this hotel. Some nuances: The bathroom, and especially the shower is extremely tiny and might not fit everyone, but for me it wasn't a problem. The seaview from the balcony made for it! No soundproofing. The breakfast variety is quite good.

The location is great, right in front of the sea. However, the room was small, and I couldn't figure out how to close the door properly. The shower room was especially small and I couldn't fit in. Also, the room was smaller than the one I booked.

The soundproofing was terrible; there was noise (vibration) at night. I even happened to witness a couple arguing. The sea view was absolutely beautiful.

Nice location, helpful staff, good rooms with a nice view. Only (major) downside: positioned right by the road, it’s loud!

[A vacation hotel with an unbelievably beautiful ocean view] This is a fantastic hotel overlooking Isola Bella, Sicily's renowned sea and cove. While it's a little far from Taormina's old town (center), requiring a cable car or shuttle bus for transportation, its proximity to this beautiful beach makes it the perfect vacation spot. The reception staff were also friendly and hospitable, providing...

We stayed two nights at this hotel in a superior room with balcony and sea view. The room was too small for us but we knew this and for 2 nights it was fine. The breakfast was okay, nothing fantastic. You are paying for the location, it is absolutely fantastic, right in the heart of Taormina. Staff were very lovely. I'd recommend this hotel for the location. It has a wonderful rooftop area where you...

Right in the middle of the old town. A fantastic location. Taomini is super busy with crowds, so it was good to be able to easily escape back to our hotel room. There is a really nice (and under utilised) roof top area available for panorama views. The rooms was nice with a reasonably comfortable bed. Breakfast was available down stairs. I would stay here again.

Lovely hotel in a good location. Friendly staff from housekeeping, breakfast staff and reception area. Marco was very helpful with my room allocation.

Location can't be beaten,right on the Corso.We have been coming here for many years & have always enjoyed our stay. Nice bedroom with balcony & sea view & comfortable bed. Bathrooms are very small which some people have written negative reviews about Reception staff are friendly & helpful & the rooftop breakfast terrace has great views. There is also a shuttle service to a nearby beach resort.

Had a most pleasant experience. Room was huge with high ceilings, modern bathroom and a delicious continental breakfast. Location was perfect for us who were not interested in views but rather in the middle of the mix. Could not have asked for more. Bed rest was great and Internet was fast and reliable.

Lovely hotel in a great location, very central to everything needed. Breakfast was great, as was the access to the private beach club. Bathroom was a little small and dated but manageable for a few days.

Perfect location to walk to town or get down to the beach. The gardens are beautiful & relaxing! From the outside, it doesn't look like much because it is on a cliff but once inside some rooms have a beautiful view of the seas. It was very clean & the help was great! I would stay there again if we ever return to Sicily!!!

This is a charming hotel with a great view of the sea and a fabulous garden breakfast/lounge area! The breakfast was outstanding ! The hotel receptionist gave us an excellent suggestion for dinner. The only disadvantage of the property is the stairs and difficulty finding the entrance.

We walked in without a reservation, and were given a beautiful room with a sea view. A relaxed, comfortable ambience, and very helpful and courteous staff (thank you for helping us with our onward travel arrangements!) . The staff arranged for us to have breakfast early, to accommodate our early start to Mount Etna. Great coffee! It’s very handy for the bus terminus. Would definitely stay here again

Everything about this property is five stars, the staff and service the breakfast the cleanliness, the rooms and the views. The only criticism I have is that the parking is a bit expensive and it’s offsite.

Super Hoel Antonella, Mateo and Mario were super professional and helpful. They were there whenever we needed a car service, restaurant assistance or tour guide. This hotel is close to town and easy to get to the bus for traveling.Thank you it was an amazing trip and I would recommend this hotel.

Charming hotel with lovely views, friendly staff, very clean and comfortable. Great location, very nice breakfast and happy hour on the terrace. Would definitely recommend to all!

This place is spot on the perfect location.. staff is exceptionally humble and polite.. be prepared for the warmest welcome by twins at the reception.. and it’s amazing they are literally identical twins.. We spent more time with Luigi and he’s so sweet and always eager to help that you feel like talking on and on and on.. They have the best suggestions for good coffee and anything you want to visit...

Overall a great experience. The twins at the reception are very nice and have good tips for local places. Breakfast is simple but good and the two ladies who handle it are very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent. The rooms are comfortable and insulated from the noise on the street. They have AC. Infrastructure is aging but well maintained, clean, and functional. We'll be back if...

Great hotel in the centre of Taormina - there isn’t a better location. The rooms are a decent size, and though a little dated, good enough for a short break in the city. The balcony overlooking the Main Street was a nice touch, and the doors shut out the noise effectively. Great air conditioning and the staff were very friendly too.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The property is in a great, central location on the main street in Taormina.

You couldn't be more central! In the busy Corso Umberto I, you are in the heart of town. Staff professional, helpful, very friendly and good-humored. Nice and very clean room with the most comfortable bed I have ever had in a hotel! The bathrooms could do with a bit of upgrade, especially the showers. However, overall in the hotel there is an enjoyable atmosphere retrò that reminds of its long history...

This place is a hidden gem in the heart of Taormina! I’m extremely surprise for spending so little and getting so much of it. It is a really old but well taken care building! The room is so cute! Wardrobe and all furniture have drawings on it! It is located in the middle of the Main Street in the city right besides Ermenegildo Zegna store. Breakfast was very simple, but the whole experience had to...

The hotel does NOT look like the pictures. The hotel is not well maintained, it needs a major facelift. The rooms are tiny, the pool area is not the nicest, the balcony is small and every time you open the sliding door, the air conditioner shuts off. This to me was not a hotel, more like Airbnb, other than breakfast (which was the same everyday), there was no where to have a drink, get water... if...

The staff here are friendly and helpful! The location is tough since parking is not available for those driving to the hotel. I had to hire someone they recommended to take my car to park away. It was a pretty easy process but after he picked up the car, I had to lug big luggages to the hotel on the street for 2 minutes. Not too bad. The room is very small and nothing fancy but mostly clean. The breakfast...

It was an amazing hotel. When I return I will surely stay here again. It was a million dollar location.

Lovely hotel and well located. Reception staff were so friendly and helpful. Pity that the poolside bar wasn’t open during our stay nor was the restaurant for lunch or dinner. Would happily go back. Taormina is beautiful whilst slightly expensive.

The staff was warm, welcoming and extremely helpful anytime we needed anything, which was quite a few times. The property is clean, beds are comfortable, the location is very central, but the rooms were never noisy. Although we didn’t use it, the rooftop deck and pool area was pretty and clean. The breakfast area and courtyard were well maintained and pretty. Two small critiques: there were no towel...

Relaxing stay in Taormina Lovely staff at Hotel Piccolo Giardino made our stay very relaxing. Breakfast in garden with resident cats, restaurant on site and roof top terrace for sunbathing. The location was perfect only one minute from the high street Corsa Umberto. The only drawback was the bathroom was rather tired and the shower was in an awkward place, not good for those with limited mobility.

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...

Amazing apartment with stunning view. Well equipped. Short walk to the town. Flavia- the host was very helpfull. Would highly recommend this when staying in Taormina 😃

Staff was really friendly and the place is really amazing. Quiet surroundings, close to the town and the jacuzzi was just perfect!

AMAZING place with everything you need - including parking right outside the door. Wonderful views and well located close to all the hustle and bustle on the Corso, and only a short walk home to beat the crowds. Flavia is the the most welcoming host, answers quickly to questions and has lots of recommendations for sightseeing, shopping and places to eat. Highly recommend.

Superb, well-equipped apartment with terrific views. We enjoyed our vacation very much, everything was as described! The apartment has a full equipped kitchen, in case you would like to prepare your meals at home. Otherwise it is short distance to Taormina’s many good restaurants. It’s also just a short walking distance to the cable lift down to the beach. Flavia and her family are fantastic hosts...

The staff were very friendly and helpful. This is a type of hotel that keeps your keys when you leave. Which isn't a problem for me. There's a 24hr front desk attendant. The beach view rooms are worth it. Great views.

The lady working the desk on days was unbelievably helpful. The location is great with amazing views.

Great stay at this charming hotel in Mazzaro. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great location, close to the beach, cable cars and some great seafood restaurants. I do advice to book a room with a balcony - the view is amazing!

So if you want a verry good room don't come here, I mean about the location and how clean is it, it's a 10, but because the aspect of the room is like a 3,5, the bathroom fan didn't work property and it was a verry big disadvantage

It was ok. Staff were really nice but location was further than we expected from Taormina cabs were 25euros everytime… and also sooo loud and the room was very mediocre…

I'm really surprised why the negative reviews. The website has photos of the rooms so I don't understand why people are complaining that the rooms are dated, since they already know what they are booking. The rooms are spotless clean, beds comfortable, the AC working perfectly and the reception always helpful and with a smile. The position of the hotel is perfect!!! We booked a room with garden view...

We had such a lovely stay! Gaia was incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive from even before we arrived. We had some unexpected travel complications due to the volcano, and she was always there for us, checking in and helping us throughout the whole situation. The location is perfect, close to everything in Taormina, and the place itself was very clean, fresh, and comfortable. Gaia truly made us feel...

It was an amazing experience staying at Al Civico Cinque. The host was incredibly kind, helpful, and friendly. We had a wonderful 4-day stay in Taormina, and this place made our trip even more special. The place also offers a common balcony that has a breathtaking sea view that steals your heart the moment you wake up in the morning. Highly recommended!!

A beautiful Airbnb in the heart of Taormina, it’s less than a 5 minute walk to the main areas of the town. For the beaches, it’s close to the cable cart, bus stops or you can walk down. The Airbnb itself is perfect, with a spacious shared lounge/ terrace area which we enjoyed dinner on one evening, the views from the terrace are lovely. The room had everything we needed for our stay. Gaia, our host...

Amazing stay! The view was beautiful, the location was perfect and very central. We loved the balcony😍 We had coffee, fridge, and even billiard table. Everything was comfortable and well equipped. Gaia was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gaia's place is exceptionally cozy, beautiful, and truly felt like a home. The ocean view from the balcony is breathtaking! The room is spacious, warmly decorated, and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. For the daily housekeeping - It truly felt like a 5 star hotel service - professional and clean. Gaia is wonderfully warm and welcoming. Her recommendation for the Mount Etna...

Hotel manager was friendly and welcoming, he kindly offered a free pizza on our arrival after a stressful drive from the airport to get there. The parking charge per day is €20 and was a bit of surprise. It’s not clearly advertised upfront. Additionally one morning we were made to wait over an hour for breakfast. They took our order but decided to not serve us as I think the staff member wasn’t...

Amazing location. With parking. !!! 5 min to center of Taormina.

The hotel is an old school but the staff and service is fantastic

I recently stayed at this B&B in Taormina and had a mixed experience. The location is definitely a highlight—just a short 10-minute walk from Porta Messina, making it easy to explore the town and its charming streets. However, the building itself feels quite outdated, and the rooms could benefit from renovation and modernization. One of the biggest issues was the shower—poor water flow and an extremely...

Good place to stay, with convenient parking. Short 8 min walk to the main area, but quiet for place. The breakfast whole limited, was very fresh and tasty.

Excellent property and wonderful location. Parking, restaurant/bar on site, kind host. Will recommend to others and hope to be back again.

Lets consider the price. View is absolutely stunning. You can see the sea, etna volcano from the balcony as well as night view which is fantastic. But breakfast is quite poor. Only thing that I had been served was bread, coffee, yogurt, and juice. There were no protein such as egg, ham, bacon, etc. The most serious problem is that it is really difficult to reach. Road is too narrow, stiff, and unpaved...

Exceptional service by the staff. Great building restored, very clean and quiet. Highly recommended

Incredible building, location, design, care and consideration. Built on family land, matriarch of hotel is an absolute darling sweetie! We communicated in German and Italian.

Exceptional and quite place to stay for a while near Taormina! They also offer parking which is easy. Highly recommended!

Everything was perfect, nice, in a quiet neighborhood , situated close from the city center(10 min. walk). The rooms were cleaned every day, even after we asked them not to.We asked for a room with a view instead of having breakfast included, but they were kind enough to give us coffee, on the house, every morning. Over all, super clean, air conditioned, quiet. The hosts were very kind to us. I would...

Simple family run place. Short walk from centre & cheap when you compare to almost all other hotels. Also only 1 of a handful of hotels that has a pool. Overall great value for money in what is an expensive town

The cosiest and most lovely down to earth hotel in Taormina. The family are the nicest and kindest too. Its a must stay destination

Clean friendly informative nice pool great location if you a 10min stroll to the piazza,came in handy after all the great food and gelato you will have.

Amazing amazing view🤩 We booked the hotel last minute, and it was a great in everywhere. Located right at the top of the steps to go down to the beautiful beach and Isola Bella. The room was clean, the toilet/bathroom was also spacious and clean. It was amazing to wake up to the sunrise, and have an apéritive on the balcony at sunset. The cable car which connects you to Taormina is also 150 meters...

Ok breakfast served at the hotel but better to buy fresh food and salami, cheese me beverage from the nearby supermarkets. All rooms have balconies with great view of the isola bella so just enjoy.

Free Wi-Fi in the whole hotel and on the beach.

The hotel and reception closes at 8 pm so don’t forget the key to your room.

129 is a room with a fantastic own terrace and excellent view

The good: close to the beach. Relatively cheap. Great view from balcony. Good Aircon in the room. Breakfast included. Some staff are friendly The bad: paying extra for parking and use of a sunbed on the beach - I'm a paying guest at your hotel, why can't you include these basic services just like other hotels do? Mould on some of the food at breakfast. Some staff come across as grumpy. Also note the...
