Bel Soggiorno - Taormina

Very good location: short walk from Taormina town centre. Wonderful views of the mount Etna and coast/bay from our room No. 1. Old stylish hotel, beautiful garden, nice breakfast room and terras with seaview. Sun terras, free parking. Limited food choice in breakfast, but high quality and fresh orange juice included (from red sweet oranges!).

During the night the window shutters in our room made an awful noise because of the heavy wind (the hotel is on a hill slope near the sea).

Best location with view on sea and Etna, nice veranda (winter) and nice garden, 10 mn walk from downtown. Old building well maintained and clean. Breakfast ok.

Bathroom / Shower need some improvements: low water pressure.

It was beautiful and the views were spectacular from our room. We had an enormous terrace and I liked the overall feel of the hotel. I really liked our room. It was very large and easily accomodated the 4 of us. It was a typical hotel of times past for me in the sense that they gave you a hotel key to the front door at night and they had a live-in watchman on the premises. It was very homey and authentic and original inside, especially the dining area. Very pretty and old world charming...

The breakfast was not very good. We had some old stale bread one morning served to us.

Nice historical atmosphere, a splendid view of ocean and mt Etna, breakfast on terrace, free wifi in hotel's public areas, friendly staff.

No restaurant in hotel (but they serve breakfast in hotel and there are restaurants in 10 min walking distance).

The view was beautiful from our room, from the hotel and from the breakfast terrace. Breakfast was great, with lots of variety. Fresh figs, melon, prosciutto, variety of breads and pastries, juices, coffee and gluten free options too! Staff helpful for directions to the beach. You can walk to the beach, no need to go on their $$ Shuttle to another beach.

The room size is tiny, especially when you get a triple room, which is essentially a double but with a super skinny single bed thrown into a double size room only at a much higher price. If you're going to charge more for a triple then at least do it in a larger room.

Stunning views and close to the centre but just far enough out too. Old world feel and a great space. Simply decorated but perfecly sufficient. Friendly staff, with (thnakfully) enough english, very helpful)

Only do breakfast, no other meals but was close to some very good restaurants.

Beautiful location with parking on site and free wifi. Just a short walk to the town for restaurants and shopping. The manager was very helpful and friendly and made our stay a delight.

We had to leave!

Views from room and breakfast area just stunning. Very friendly staff and reception.

Hotel somewhat run down, especcially bathroom could do with make over, although some people may like it.

Good location not too far from restaurants and shopping. Nice breakfast on the patio.

Many adult tourists didn't seem to tolerate our children very well.

The hotel had a very uplifting feel as it was perched on the cliffs overlooking the ocean below Taormina. Breakfast is also served on the terrace which was large and very bright with the morning sun coming in. The dining/bar/entertainment area had an older style grandness to it. I felt like I was staying in a hotel that an old James Bond movie may have been filmed in. I also enjoyed being able to fall asleep with our balcony doors open listening to the gentle sounds of the Ionian sea a hundred feet below. Free wifi was available as well as two workstations in the dining room that could be used any time by guests.

The shower was quite small (but I managed) and there was no minibar that can sometimes come in handy for keeping things in. The hotel night staff however brought sparkling water to our room late at night when we forgot to buy some. But the good outweighs the bad at this hotel.

Outstanding location with the feeling you are in an Italian villa on the sea. Panoramic view of the coast with Mt Etna in the distance. The gardens are beautiful and well tended,the staff cordial and helpful. Room is adequate with low pressure in the shower and water on the tepid side..and walk into town can be arduous if not prepared for many uphill steps. Parking is tight but somehow works!! I would certainly revisit and recommend this hotel to all who enjoy sublime, quiet moments.

We really loved this hotel, we are frequent visitors to Taormina but this was our first stay here. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and spoke excellant English. The views from our room, which had a large terrace were out of this world. I love the location, just a 10 minute walk to the centre, passing beautiful public gardens on the way. The hotel is also set in its own gardens and the attention to detail and maintenance of them was very noticeable. With free parking, wifi and a delicious breakfast included I highly recommend this hotel.

I like the whole feel of this hotel. Family owned and operated for a long time and they know how to be gracious hosts. The public spaces are lovely and I found it to be much quieter than other higher priced hotels nearby. Pay the little extra for a view on Etna!

This is an older property so there are a few issues--smallish bathrooms in some rooms and an slight odor in some rooms--- but it is still very good value for taormina.

An older style hotel with real character and a fantastic location. Fabulous water/coastal views from the room and balcony. On-site parking available (could be limited in peak season)

The location of the hotel.

a lot of steps to reach the room.
