The hotels of Taormina

A room at the Hotel Villa Belvedere in Taormina.

Hotels, B&Bs, and other lodgings in Taormina, Sicily

It's hard to believe a town so obscenely crammed with hotels can fill up, but in summer it does.

If niether the hotel booking websites (Booking.com, Airbnb.com, and the others listed to the right) nor the tourist office can't find you a hotel up in Taormina itself, try looking for a room at one of the beach resorts below town (Mazzarò is closest and small enough to be charming; sprawling, modern Giardini di Naxos will always have rooms).

Favorite Taormina hotels

Hotel Villla Gaia ★ [€€]

Warm, family-run atmosphere in a cozy eight-room hotel in the heart of town. The slightly wacky décor is over-the-top floral, but cute, and almost all rooms have a terrace or balcony. You take breakfast in a teensy garden shaded by mandarin orange and grapefruit trees. Book early—these prices are hard to beat.

Hotel Villa Nettuno ★ [€]

's a bit creaky and worn with a patina of loving care, but the Nettuno's got a hefty dollop of Taormina's 19th-century class. I only wish the accommodations, where basic furnishings reign, had as much atmosphere as the antique-filled salon and the wandering paths and stairs of the colorful and surprisingly extensive statue-studded gardens The location is handy—between the bus stop and town gate, across from the cable car to the beach.

Hotel Villa Belvedere ★ [€€]

Christian Pécaut’s hotel has remained a favorite for three generations due to its friendly reception, professional maintenance, and old-fashioned style. The terra-cotta floors support firm beds and a variety of furnishings, all functional but with a touch of class. Most rooms have slivers of balconies to enjoy views over the gardens to the sea, and top floor rooms have small terraces from which you can glimpse Mt. Etna. The flowering property is terraced down the hillside past the swimming pool shaded by palms.

Hotel Villa Schuler [€€€]

Nestled within its own fragrant terraced gardens, the Villa Schuler looks over the Ionian Sea from a premier site below Piazza IV Aprile. Sea-view rooms look across the flowery and palm-shaded gravel terrace where most guests take their breakfast. Accommodations are fitted with modular furniture mixed with characterful antiques. Most rooms have balconies; nos. 29–32 on the top floor share a terrace with a vista from the Greek Theater to the coast.

Hotel Villa Fiorita [€€]

The Fiorita isn't bad, and it's got all the amenities, but it lacks the charm of the other properties listed here (plus, the staff can be gruff). It's built into a sloping cliffside, with gardens that clamber up the hillside to a swimming pool. The decor is lodged between the 19th century and the 1960s, with furniture combinations of ugly modular and fine antique. Most doubles stick to functionality; you've got to cough up for a suite with kitchenette for classier furnishings. Since all rooms have the same price, insist on a sea-view or go elsewhere.
