"Amazing stay. The room and property were gorgeous and the view was even better. It was a short walk to restaurants and the main pedestrian street in Taormina. Just far enough away to be relaxing but close enough to be convenient. I highly recommend staying here!"
"We had a lovely stay. The room was nice and the service was perfect. The hostess was on top of it all the time, from breakfast in the morning to the dinner at night. We recommend this to all travellers that would like to have a ”lyxuary” holiday in a faboulus area. "

10/10 Excellent
"Great location and easy walking distance to the main shopping and restaurants road. Has a lovely terrace. Parking available. Staff very friendly. "
"Great location and amazing views! Our hotel room had a beautiful balcony with a view of Mt. Etna! The pool area was very nice and drinks and food can be ordered while relaxing or you can go to the bar! Stepping off the elevator and having the doors open to the gorgeous ocean view as you walk through the cave is always amazing! Truly an experience! All staff is friendly and helpful! The shuttles that take you back and forth to the town of Taormina are a great feature and many options of times! Just make sure to reserve early AM your spots! "
"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. A perfect stay for our week in Sicily!"
"Outstanding Stay in Taormina!!
An exceptional experience from start to finish. The staff were warm, professional, and went above and beyond — even surprising me with a birthday cake and beautiful flowers at breakfast!
The room was spotless, the hotel was impeccably clean, and the location was perfect — close to everything yet peaceful. You can tell the management truly cares. Highly recommended!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"The Excelsior Palace is outstanding. Beautiful hotel in the heart of Taormina with a huge pool overlooking the Sea. Rooms are updated and very comfortable, many facing the beautiful Mount Etna. Delicious breakfast buffet with accommodating staff. Bar/cafe at the pool is perfect for a cocktail and salad or piadina while floating in the pool. I’ve stayed here three times and cannot wait to return!"
"
From the moment we arrived at Villa Taormina, we were treated with utmost care. The attention to detail, warm hospitality, and genuine care from the staff made our stay truly unforgettable. Every interaction—from check-in to farewell—was marked by thoughtfulness and grace.
The villa itself is a beautiful blend of old-world charm and modern comfort. Tucked away in the heart of Taormina, it offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding hills. The rooms are tastefully decorated, and the gardens are immaculate, offering tranquil corners for morning coffee or evening reflection.
What truly sets Villa Taormina apart, however, is the service. The staff anticipated our needs before we could voice them. Whether it was a dinner reservation, travel assistance, or simply remembering our preferences, they made us feel seen and appreciated. It’s rare to encounter this level of care and consistency.
If you're looking for an elegant, intimate, and heartfelt stay in Sicily, Villa Taormina is a place you'll never forget—and will long to return to."
"My stay at the Splendid Hotel in Taormina was absolutely wonderful. The location couldn’t be better - just a short walk to the town center and the cable car that takes you down to the sea. It’s the perfect base to explore everything Taormina has to offer.
What truly stood out, though, was how warm and welcoming the atmosphere was from the moment I arrived. The hotel has a charming, relaxing vibe, and the staff made me feel completely at home.
A special mention goes to Mohammed at the front desk, who was incredibly kind, professional, and always ready to help. Whether I needed directions, recommendations, or just a friendly conversation, Mohammed was consistently attentive and thoughtful. His hospitality made my stay even more enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a hotel with a great location and genuinely caring staff, the Splendid Hotel is a fantastic choice. I am already looking forward to my next visit!"
