We had a significant delay in our arrival due to our airplane issues. So we did not arrive at the hotel until 2 in the morning and there was a clerk there 24/7 to check us in. All of the staff was wonderful. The hotel was spotless and the breakfast was an amazing selection with breathtaking views.

Old style hotel with great views over the sea and to Mt Etna, including from the breakfast/dining room. Close to the old town for easy access but just outside so it's quiet (okay, some wave sounds). Great terrace for afternoon coffee or apero. If you're looking for a modern hotel, this isn't your hotel. But if you're looking for old world charm, it fits the bill.

No food available for lunch. Had dinner there. Our orders were delivered less than 10 minutes after ordered and beautifully presented on the plate. Service was so fast the meals must have already been prepared and under a heat lamp for a while. Rabbit was dry.
Having the shuttle was a definite bonus. Easy access and parking at hotel.

From the wonderfully warm hosting of the staff and the chef to the lovely quiet garden setting, we absolutely loved our stay. We had such a lovely time and learned so much about the sicilian culture and food, we will be back no doubt! Grazie mille to our wonderful hosts! This is the hotel's claim "The Taormina Garden Hotel is a small family hotel where the Guest is a member of the family", that fits perfectly! Don't miss the restaurant and Angelo and Gianluca's cooking!

The location of Taormina looking down to the coast is very beautiful. There was plenty to explore for a few days e.g. the Ancient Theatre, the beach at Isola Bella within walking distance or by cable car. For us the highlight was a visit to the hilltop village of Castelmola which provided fantastic views, including snow capped Mount Etna.
The main drawback of Taormina is the fact it is rather crowded even in late April when we visited. Also there are too many shops selling the same tourist tat.

The Taormina area is wonderful.
The Taormina area is wonderful. The mountains, the water, the history. Getting around needs a bit of planning. Taxi, bus or cablecar/lift unless you don´t mind to walk up and down hill. :-) I´ll be back.

Stunning Taormina, full of heartbreaking corners and history. Our enthusiasm had to face the reality of a pricy place. Disappointment in meeting insisting members of staff from the hospitality field, who sometimes looked desperately in need of customers for their restaurants, bars, boat trips. Etc..Parking is very expensive but we appreciated the free shuttle service to the city center.

Taormina has beautiful views with pretty venitian buildings, very historical. The food is delicious, as it's a prime tourist location the price of dining out does reflect this. The service in restaurants is good, I found staff to be friendly. The bus station at Interbus terminal is in easy walking distance and it's a short bus ride to Giuardini Naxos beach which is sandy. Waiting times for buses can be long if you miss the bus. Cost of one way ticket for 3 people just under 6 euros. The cost of the journey on bus from Taormina to Catania airport is cheap, 21 Euros for 3 people. Cost of a taxi from the airport to Taormina is a bit expensive at 100 euros, but you can get the interbus which is a cheaper option but will take longer. Our journey by Taxi to Valentina B&B was around 1 hour and was arranged by the lovely lost Loredana at Valentina B&B. Our driver Giuseppe was polite , friendly and provided lots of tips about the location and places to eat etc. Try the paste marandela Sicilian cookies, almond flavour is delicious, also the Arancini, a good savoury snack filled with rice with different fillings. Try the tomato & veg one, delicious.Lucios restaurant was fantastic, staff friendly. And Di foesteria, opposite Valentina B&B where you can have breakfast or brunch, very good quality and nice staff.

The apartment was close to all amenities and the Bus station is a 10 minute walk. The apartment is beautifully set up and has a washing machine which was a great help. It provided enough coffee and biscuits for our stay. At night there is no noise from the main street and the bed was super comfortable. Overall it was perfect for our stay and great value for money. Many thanks to Isabella our host.

The town is bustling with activities, lots of sites to see, super selection of eateries ( had dinner at Lucchio’s. along the Main Street. Live street music that brought such an abundance of joy and happiness to the evening at dinner! A abundance of historic sites to take in when wandering through the town. Maps and information about where to go and see the Roman ruins easy to follow. Plus a great selection of shopping opportunities with unique gifts at your fingertips!
Incredible property, right next to San Domenico luxury hotel featured in White Lotus but a fraction of the price. truly a home away from home, so well appointed with everything you would need if not eating out. Million dollar views across to Etna from the terrace and out to sea. Tranquil spot in Taormina but within easy walking access to great restaurants, parking, sight seeing spots, and cable car to Isola Bella. Our host was just charming- gave us so many tips on arrival and accessible throughout our stay. Already planning on coming back!
Villa Mabel is ideally situated in Taormina positioned almost exactly in the centre of the old town. It is a lovely, characterful, quirky old house with views over some of the old town and lovely ones of the sea. I will always prefer to stay in this style of place over the boring uniformity of chain hotels The staff were friendly and helpful and I enjoyed Taormina and the villa so much that I extended my stay for another night. However those who like the known deliverables of chain hotels might not appreciate its unique character.
We really enjoyed the hotel, location and territory. Attention to the guests , you can feel from the first second. We would like to thank receptionist manager Salvatore, very caring and professional, lifeguard Giovanni (service on the beach was great ), barmen Roberto, and all the staff.
The sea was amazing , beach, music, drinks and good breakfast. Thanks for manager Giuseppe Trefiletti for a compliment champagne.
Grazzie mille for hotel management. Our holiday was amazing, we would like to come back.
Pleasent apartment with great secure parking. Great showers, great heating (we stayed in the off-season), and overall one of the best locations right off the center strip in Taormina. Fast internet for those who work from home, and generally a place with good living space. A nice modern apartment where it's feels like it's a boutique hotel, but doesn't lose its charm. The hosts were very good, quick to respond and very informative.
A charming hotel with views of the water away from the bussel of Taormina center. Nice pool amenities and access to public transportation nearby. Very friendly and helpful staff on directions and points of interest to see and places to eat. Communication was easy as staff speak more than one language. A shout out to Melo who greeted us every morning for breakfast and makes a great cappucino!
Alessandro, the host/manager was very kind, helpful and spoke very good English (which I found is very rare in Sicily...even with people that work with tourist).
The location of the hotel was very convenient for me, very close to Via Umberto, the Main Street.
The Hotel was very quite (even though is very near to the centre) and very clean. It has an elevator, which is not usual.
Fantastic views, good selection of food for breakfast, very friendly staff. We stayed in the hotel for 5 days and it was the best holiday ever! This hotel deserves 5 stars! It has everything needed for comfortable stay plus the building itself is absolutely gorgeous! Will be back for sure and will recommend Bel Soggiorno to everyone looking for a superb place to stay in Taormina.
Hotel was in a good location, not far from the centre of Taormina, so easy access to most of the attractions in the area. We had a lovely view of the sea from our room and the room was clean and well kept. The hotel staff were very friendly and provided us some great recommendations for places to eat, they spoke good English, which made it very easy for us.
I wish I could this property more then 5 stars. The apartment was exceptionally clean. The bed was so comfortable. The shower was absolutely lovely too. Easy parking right on the street in front of the apartment too. This was our fourth place we have stayed in Italy/Sicily and it was by far the best, cleanest, and most comfortable place we have stayed.
Beautiful location with amazing views. Grand hotel which would benefit from a refresh of the room we were in. A little more thorough cleaning would also improve the guest experience.
Best breakfast of our 10 day trip on a beautiful patio overlooking the ocean.
Also has parking which is hard to find at this hotel price point in Taormina.
The staff were amazing. Gave us lots of information about finding our way around Taormina and were always kind and helpful. Breakfast was very good and filling. Rooms were clean. The hotel was located near the centre, within walking distance of all the restaurants and the Antico Teatro and Community gardens.
The hotel was situated in a beautiful spot, quiet but central. amazing views from the pool and balconies, nice breakfast.
exceptionally comfortable beds and pillows. a great stay for the whole family. a nice bonus is the shuttle offered to the sister hotel on the beach.
Amazing view. By far the best thing about this hotel.
Safe parking under the hotel.
Tasty and abundant breakfast.
Clean rooms, perfect bed for a good sleep.
A walking distance to the cable car for Taormina centre. A walking distance to the beach and Isola Bella.
Simply breathtaking location, infinity pool and cave entrance to the beach and the pool are absolutely unique experience for any hotel not only in Taormina but all of Sicily. There’s a reason why second half of White Lotus was filmed here :)
Lovely hotel in a great location, short walk to Taormina’s main streets, very close to the funicular and to the bus station. Best part was the lovely helpful staff. Would stay here again without hesitation.
Super cute hotel with a unique garden.
We loved everything about the property.
