Lovely trip to Taormina- a trek to find hotel but there was a garden exit straight in to town so much easier. Amazing terrace for drinks. Our room didn’t have a balcony but could have easily made one there. Lovely staff.

Our rooms were clean, the beds sufficiently comfortable, communication polite and thanks to deepL easy, breakfast was good, too. The location is excellent for reaching both the centro storico and Mazzaro beach/Isola Bella. We only stayed for one night and we would consider the hotel to be a good choice for a stay for 1 to 3 nights. We did not travel in the high season and were therefore lucky enough to be able to reserve 2 parking spaces in their inner yard, which was very convenient on our trip throughout Sicily.

Perhaps one of the nicest Hotels we have stayed in. The staff were all absolutely lovely.
The views from our bedroom, breakfast area and the swimming pool terrace were stunning.
Breakfast was 10/10 every day - tastiest food we've eaten in a hotel.
Location was 10/10 if you want to be beachside - if you want to be in the main town you will need to get the gondala up to the top which only takes 4 minutes.

We had an amazing view of Etna as well as the beach from our room and even from the terrace on the top floor. The hotel is up on a hill however only a 10 minute walk from the center. The staff was very helpful and easy to talk to. We would like to especially thank Cristina who helped to organize a taxi for us as well as scooter rental. Meanwhile our room was spacious, clean and comfortable.

The Jewel in the Sicilian Crown
As you admire crystal-clear turquoise seas from a Taormina piazza swathed in vibrant pink blossom, you could be forgiven for thinking that you were in paradise. The stunning location of this picturesque town is its crowning glory.
However, it’s not its only glory. Surrounded by trees just below the main town, the Greek Theatre is also a triumph. Its largely intact seating offers wonderful views across the stage towards Mount Etna fuming away in the distance. Spine-tingling summer performances are still held here, and several of the town’s bars also offer live music.
Corso Umberto I runs through the heart of Taormina, from Piazza Corvaja to the 13th-century cathedral, and houses many shops and cafés. Midway along is Piazza IX Aprile, whose clock tower and church are overlooked by a rocky hill topped with a castle.
A cable car runs from the town down to the beautiful Taormina beaches (where the train station is also found). At the centre of the W-shaped bay is little Isola Bella, an island nature reserve. To the south-west is the long stretch of sand at Giardini-Naxos, and north is the bay by Mazzaró.
As you would expect of Sicily’s most beautiful resort, there is no shortage of Taormina accommodation on Booking.com, including 5-star hotels on the beach, town centre apartments and luxury B&Bs.

We were unlucky with the weather so didn’t do as much as we would have liked . You’ve got to be aware the hotel is a long way away from centre so might not suit everyone. Good shuttle service though and good view from hotel. Taormina is very crowded

The views are spectacular and the hotel itself was just perfect. The walkway thru a garden path is so gorgeous and takes you right into the heart of everything! The bonus was having valet service for our car so we never had to worry about parking, etc, Awesome!

Taormina is a good base-point for tours of Mt Etna.
Taormina is a good base-point for tours of Mt Etna. There are probably more tours running from Catania, but you can get a good tour from Taormina. The city itself is touristy, but clean and well organized. I won't throw the word "safe" out there, as we felt safe everywhere in Sicily, but we felt very comfortable in Taormina. Of course the sights and history don't compare to the bigger places in Sicily such as Siracusa, Palermo, or Agrigento, but that's not Taormina.

The city/village of Taormina was great for sightseeing.
The city/village of Taormina was great for sightseeing. We visited the ancient amphitheater, and enjoyed hiking in the area. There were an abundance of good shops and restaurants to visit. The City public park was a wonderful mix of trees and walking paths with some amazing “follies” - odd and artistic small buildings, built to entertain the eye.

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.
Location was amazing - right next to the beach and away from the very busy centre of Taormina. Highly recommend as it is bliss to wake up on the beach, away from the crowds, and have a coffee and a swim before taking the funicular (a 2 minute walk from the apartment) to the centre of Taormina. I would suggest taking the funicular up and walking to the very top Chiesa Madonna della Rocca, and of course to Teatro Greco. The apartment owner, Massimo, is hugely helpful if you need anything (eg he booked an airport transfer for us).
Perfect location just off the western end of the main pedestrian thoroughfare. This is a small family run 'boutique' hotel which has recently been renovated to a very high standard. Our room was quiet with good aircon and good buffet breakfast. Unlike some accommodation in Taormina, this hotel has a garage with parking for approx. 5 cars but strongly advise you pre-book. You will need satnav to find hotel. The owner (and staff) is very helpful and friendly and will guide you in/out of the garage.
The entire stay was miserable. From the check in to stepping into the tiniest, pest invaded dirtiest room. Phones not working nor Wi-Fi. In general No requests could be accommodated , from a simple breakfast order to cleaning the room to fixing the phone. The pictures online definitely gives it more credit then in REal life. The staff was not friendly in solving any issues nor showed any interest in resolving any of my concerns. Worst “5 star” service and hotel ever visited.
I liked the homey feel of hotel Natalina, it is very cozy and the staff are amazing & very helpful. They were very kid friendly and even helped with minding the kids, the location was perfect as well and if you are traveling with kids or older members it is very helpful to have the lift. I didn't find many options with a lift around that location so this was a big plus for us. Also the room was spotless clean much cleaner than in some 5 star hotels i have seen.
The staff is extremely careful about service. There is a family atmosphere in this hotel. The breakfast was great. The location is optimal : close to the mail touristic street, but easy to reach with a park. A parking is available (if booked in advance). So it solves the main problem with Taormina : coming with a car.
The view from the roof is magnificient. My room was very large. The view was pretty nice.
I will come back.
Great location in a quiet street overlooking the gulf of Taormina, but not far from the centre of the city. Restaurants and shops easily reachable.
The sea view from the room I booked is breathtaking. I lived sitting on the balcony and watch the sunrise, the sunset and everything in between. Even the bathroom has a window with sea view! The hotel ans the rooms are kept clean. The staff is friendly and helpful.
The hotel is at the excellent location, quite, everything you need for a cute trip to one of the most beautiful cities in Italy, Taormina. Our room was at the last floor and we had a very nice balcony with the great view. The bed is super comfortable and the room was immaculate. The owners are very friendly and nice, they will be at your disposal for whatever you need. Really a very pleasant stay! Thank you!!
The view from our room (24) was spectacular. This small hotel is a gem with very helpful staff, a beautiful courtyard that comes with a friendly dog and our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast included the usual pastries plus eggs, yogurts, bacon and fruit. Coffee was delicious and made as ordered. The hotel is across the street from the bus station and well located within Taormina.
Great facilities with all the luxuries you'd expect from a 5 star location. Breakfast had all the conceivable food options available.
Excellent rocky beach with amazing clear water, and bungalows are all within 50 meters of it. Taormina is a lovely town, probably best in all of Sicily. Note that it takes at least half an hour to get there, as you have to take either the cable car or the bus.
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.
The hotel is placed in the city center, yet it is a quiet location. You may reach the central piazza in 2 minutes. We had a large room and terrace, with a lovely view over the main square and a glimpse of Etna. Very well trained staff, nice and polite at every interaction. Valet parking is available and it helps a lot in Taormina. Has a sky bar with various cocktails, wines etc
Excellent hotel with superb all round facilities, including private beach.Staff, particularly reception were English speaking and very helpful. The free courtesy bus to and from Taormina is a great extra as hotel as prime seafront position but outside of Taormina centre.
Restaurant excellent for both breakfast and dinner. Staff there were excellent.
What a great place to stay if you are visiting Taormina. We went to the concert of Andrea Bocelli and the Theater was on walking distance. The hotel has a great view at the sea. 5/10 min walk to the centre of Taormina. Breakfast and coffee was good.
Staff was really kind and helpfull.
Everything regarding our stay was perfect! Dawn and Massimo were fantastic hosts, so friendly and welcoming. They truly go above and beyond!! We enjoyed numerous conversations with them and all their suggestions regarding Taormina! 5 Stars
The front desk staff where excellent. Very friendly and very helpful with information around Castelmola and Taormina. This was the best hotel we stayed in during our two week trip to Sicily. The views from the pool and deck are incredible.
Modern and clean room with a great view in an accessible location close to the centre of Taormina.
The receptionist had good recommendations and cheap parking was available adjacent to the hotel.
Beautiful views from room balcony and breakfast venue! Very happy with staff and facilities...definitley recommend this hotel when you are visiting Taormina!
