Historic, eco-friendly elegance, views over Etna and Naxos Bay, jasmine-scented gardens... and a charming family feel in the heart of Taormina

Read guest comments

This lovely hotel has elegant charm and a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere - once through the gates the bustle of Taormina is behind you. Sitting pretty among the palms, citrus trees and subtropical planting, this feels more like a private garden retreat than an urban hotel. Family run since 1905 it has welcomed generations of guests with a gracious, unhurried style. Linger over an a la carte breakfast while you enjoy views across the Bay of Naxos, wander the botanical gardens, breathe in the scent of jasmine and citrus blossom.

Bedrooms vary in size and character, most have a private balcony, loggia or terrace looking over the gardens or the sea. Some have high ceilings and original-style cement tiles, while the Junior Suites have a lighter, airy feel with sun-drenched terraces. Find excellent orthopaedic beds, hypoallergenic duvets and a choice of pillows. Bathrooms come with generous rain showers or whirlpool baths.

In the evenings you can sit on a quiet terrace sipping an aperitivo as the light shifts over Mount Etna. The pace is slow and the views are unforgettable.

Christine, Gerhard & Andrea Schuler:

  • Ancient Theatre: it's the most celebrated archaeological site in Taormina. Visit in the morning for the best light and enjoy breathtaking views across the Bay of Naxos to Mount Etna.
  • Corso Umberto: just two minutes from the hotel, the main pedestrian street is lined with historic palazzi, cafés, and luxury boutiques, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll.
  • Hidden Alleys: leave the main street and explore Taormina’s charming alleys, where flower-filled balconies, stone archways and hidden corners provide endless photographic opportunities.
  • Public Gardens: Once the estate of English aristocrat Florence Trevelyan, these peaceful gardens offer exotic plants, sea views and charming Victorian follies.
  • Madonna della Rocca: climb the historic staircase to this rock-hewn sanctuary for panoramic views over Taormina and the Ionian coast, then continue to picturesque Castelmola.
  • Dining in Taormina: more than 80 restaurants are within walking distance, from family-run trattorias and pizzerias to fine dining and Michelin-starred experiences.

The choice of food was good, it was all fresh, and beautifully cooked and served. The terrace and the cool gardens mean it is possible to enjoy relaxing in a city hotel, such a joy! We will definately be back next year!!!"
