Popular Taormina 4-star Hotels

Really best !!! I stayed in a suite apartment, the best view and the best room. I was able to cook and enjoy Taormina with the best ocean view. Even in the low season, even if there was no breakfast, they served freshly baked bread and juice of freshly grown oranges.

We spent a fantastic week in this hotel. It was amazing to have direct access to a beautiful private beach as well as an infinity pool. There were plenty of loungers to relax. The location was great, right on the sea side and close to the train station. The shuttle service provided by the hotel that takes you into Taormina was also excellent. The staff were all super friendly too. However I felt that there was a lack of affordable meal options and the breakfast offering became monotonous after some days. Overall a very special place that I look forward to returning to one day.

Highly recommend Hotel Villa Ducale - we just stayed there earlier this week and we are already planning when we can return for another stay... The staff is amazing! No request too small and they will try to accommodate. When we drove up the hill to the hotel, we were floored by its beauty, and we immediately asked to extend our stay another night. To accomodate the additional night without changing rooms, the hotel manager asked if we would like to have a look at one of the suites across the street and we were thrilled to stay in Suite #5. We enjoyed stunning views from our terrace of Messina Bay area and the ”boot” of Sicily. The furniture in the suite was very comfortable, and we found it to be peaceful to sleep at night. I woke up early one morning and enjoyed the amazing sunrise from our terrace. The views are stunning from every corner of the hotel, which was designed so the guests can easily relax and enjoy the surroundings. We ordered drinks on the terrace near the restaurant for happy hour each evening to enjoy the sunset. Francesco was often our gracious host for happy hour, and helpful with tourist info and questions. We had dinner the first night we checked in and our meal was spectacular! The hotel does offer free shuttle to Taormina, which we used. However, it is easy to get a taxi in Taormina and not a significant expense so you can enjoy yourself on your own schedule. We enjoyed the small pool each afternoon to cool off, after exploring the area. The morning we checked out, breakfast was over- however, the staff graciously extended the buffet so our family could enjoy our last meal overlooking Taormina. We loved this wonderful hotel, the staff, the food, the views and the suite was amazing. We hope to return soon, and highly recommend Hotel Villa Ducale!!!

The hotel has been in existence for 119 years. The service is very good. The location of the hotel is also good. It is just at the entrance of the most prosperous area on the mountain. It is also close to the ”Internet celebrity” four seasons. It has an independent garden area and swimming pool. The price is very high. The room is clean The product quality is also very good. The only fly in the ointment is that the facilities and room types are slightly flawed, but as a century-old hotel, I am already very satisfied. Generally speaking, it is highly recommended!

We got married at the Villa Schuler in August 2022 and it was truly brilliant!! We came over from England and had a Civil Ceremony at the Palazzo Di Santo Stefano, which was beautiful. Us and all of our guests stayed at the Hotel and they were absolutely fantastic for the entire duration of our 5 night stay and made our Wedding Reception perfect for us! From the moment we arrived, Gerhard, Christine, Claudia and all of the staff made us feel extremely welcome, at ease, and so special as they understood how big a trip this was for us! They worked alongside us to ensure we had the best possible Wedding; we had a drinks reception, live music and canapes in their lovely, secluded garden, then a delicious Sicilian wedding dinner, drinks and dancing with a DJ on the roof terrace - which they made look really stunning!! Ours was their biggest event so far this year with 40 weddings guests and they seemed so proud and happy to be hosting; nothing was stressful for us and they were natural hosts. On every aspect, Gerhard, Claudia and the team went over and above! The level of service from all of the staff is exceptional, and the hotel has retained such a lovely warm, traditional, family feel. We had one of the top floor suites with a balcony and sun loungers, it was a comfortable, fantastic room with an excellent sea view! I can highly recommend the Hotel Villa Schuler for both a Holiday and a Wedding - we definitely made the right decision : ) I cannot fault anything. All of our families and friends loved the hotel and everything about the Wedding and many want to return. Myself and my husband are going to revisit to celebrate our first anniversary in August 2023 and we can't wait!! Thank you to everybody involved and we look forward to seeing you again.

Unfortunately this 4 star hotel was lacking (Wifi kept going out Rooms very loud Staff not that welcoming Small pour of 8€ wine Pool closed Bed linen and pillows thin Limited parking with scary hill to drive down to get to hotel) Perks: good assortment for breakfast, sunrise views from breakfast space, clean, well stocked bathroom Would give 5/10

When you come to a new place without much research done in advance, you need someone to give you practical and useful information. This is the hotel where staff are so friendly and professional. They gave you the best and most practical advice to visit some of the tourist attractions and restaurants. Appreciate their excellent recommendations. Hotel itself is good with great attention in small details. Free minibar, small snacks, fine quality of toilet amenities. It isn’t a big name but a big surprise to us. Love their staff. All make you feel very welcoming and homey. Stunning sea view and very convenient location. I simply park the car outside the hotel and use their valet parking service at 25 Euro a day. What else can I ask for? Would recommend it to anyone who would like to spend a relaxing holiday in Taormina.

A great location with good views of the bay. Just a short walk from the entrances to the old town and right above the bus station, which is really useful For local transport and also the airport. The hotel’s staff were brilliant. They could not do enough for us at the front desk and made all the difference. The breakfast has plenty to choose from and the dining room has great views. We sis not have dinner at the hotel, but the restaurant/ bar has a Happy Hour and was a great place for an early evening drink. The rooms are spacious, clean and we had a great view. It is worth paying a little extra for the balcony with a view.

Had a quiet and relaxing stay here. The rooms are large, with comfortable beds and an ample sized balcony to sit on for morning coffee. Fantastic views of Isola Bella and the coastline towards Forza D’Agro. A short walk to the bus terminal for taking excursions. A couple of good restaurants nearby if you don’t want to walk into town. The town is about 15 minutes of slow walking away, and is full of restaurants, shops and historical buildings and churches. Easy walk to the huge greek theatre. The only need for the nearby cable car is if you want to go down to the beaches, otherwise this is not needed to get up into the town. We had a very warm welcome by Salvatori, who has looked after us with passion and warmth. The breakfasts are good (a lot to choose from) with a choice of sitting in the dining room or outside. Rooms have aircon if needed, but you can sometimes hear your neighbours if they have loud voices.

The breakfast is very good, the view is very good if you live on a high floor, and it is indeed very close to Bella Island. It takes only 2 minutes to walk to the cable car after going down the mountain. To go to the station, you can make an appointment with the front desk to take a taxi. It takes 5 minutes per person for 10 Euros. What's more speechless is that we agreed to have a swimming pool, but directly said that the information on the website was wrong!
