Great name! A modern attractive hotel. The room was small but comfortable. Clean and well cared for. A wonderful view of the sea from my balcony. A short walk to the main street of town. Excellent breakfast (I was amused by one review I saw which said the only thing for breakfast was scrambled eggs, and nothing to go with them. Nothing, except for the fried bacon, 4 or 5 kinds of bread and rolls with a toaster available, croissants, 3 kinds of cheese, prosciutto, salami and mortadella, fruits plus freshly cut mixed fruit, yogurt, juices and the wonderful Sicilian pastries and sweets they often serve at breakfast.) The attendant at the front desk was friendly and knowledgable, with excellent suggestions for dinner.
Hotel Continental is located in the heart of Taormina, a 2-minute walk from the Cathedral and the main pedestrian street Corso Umberto.

The location was great, staying in Taormina proper is too much trouble, but Hotel Villino Gallodoro was just a short distance from the lift to bring you up to Taormina so you could enjoy your hotel stay in relative peace, and go enjoy the busy Taormina when you wish.
Also, located near the beach, access to boat and swimming was great.

Taormina is a 'must see' destination and has so much to offer. We visited Savoca nearby whilst staying in Taormina which was a real treat. We also had an excellent dinner one night in Giardini Naxos and were serenaded by a folk group who made the night magical. We will definitely be returning.

A marvellous location and unique natural beauty have earned this city the nickname of Pearl of the Ionian Sea. The distinctive city of Taormina in eastern Sicily is perched on a rock above sea level, with awe-inspiring views over Mount Etna and the coastline.
Like many other tourism hotspots, you have to plan carefully to avoid tourist traps and not get stuck in huge crowds.

Loved the location, lots to explore on foot with the Corso Umberto for shopping and eating, the Greek Theatre and the Botanical gardens for a quiet place to reflect and enjoy the views, and a play area for the children.
The cable car is worth using to access the beaches which again are well serviced with food, drink and toilet facilities.
Fabulous food, Mount Etna on your doorstep and great shopping.

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!
The Staff make it.
It has all you need
Bang centre of town

Kepos restaurant takes a 3 star hotel to a 5 star heaven.
Lemon Grove private Garden for breakfast and chilling.
There is the best Pizza in town on the back steps. Ulysses Grotto

But the staff are amazing be sure and look after them. Very rare to find such genuine hospitality.
I was very surprised
This is an underrated find for sure.
This property is 5 stars! It is completely updated with incredibly comfortable beds, luxury linens and absolutely beautiful decor.The owners take great care to make the property comfortable and true to the spirit of Taormina. it is authentic and beautiful. We were some of the first people to stay here, and i feel very lucky to have had the opportunity. If you are looking for a five star experience in Taoromina, you should book this place. The location, beds, and AC were all wonderful too.
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 hotel was amazing. The views from the rooftop terrace are incredible, which was amazing during breakfast each day. The room was comfortable and clean, very nice. The location is fantastic too, right in the centre of Taormina but just far enough away from the crowds. The beach club was also great, only 20 minutes on the shuttle bus to get there and it was fantastic. I'd definitely stay here again, and would highly recommend.
The hotel is right on the Isola Bella beach (which is stunning!) and has designated tanning beds and staff that takes care of everything you need while you are on the beach. We stayed in a bongalo which was relatively small but quiet. Breakfast was excellent. There is free parking if you are coming by car. The restaurants in the hotel were very good. Very close to the cable car that takes you to Taormina city center.
Beautiful is a cosy, sparkling clean Beautiful studio:), located perfectly next to two beaches- Isola Bella and a beach, where top rated hotels are located (i.e. Villa Sant'Andrea). It is 2-minute walk to the cable car, connecting Mazzaro and Taormina centre. There are nice restaurants and cafes nearby...
We had a great stay in Marcello's studio- the communication with him was perfect! Highly recommend!
This was a clean, comfortable hotel in Taormina, close to the Corso Umberto. The hotel staff were very attentive and helpful in every way. Upon arrival, they sat down with us and offered suggestions for tours and activities they could arrange for us. Any time we needed a taxi or dinner reservations, they set them up for us.
Our room had a large terrace overlooking the sea, the views were beautiful.
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!
Best stay in our travelling history.
Attention to details was overwhelming from design to spotlless cleaning. Hotel offers lots of chill spaces, a good cocktail bar, nice pool.
Location is very close to all Taormina important things to do and see, 100m from the cable car that goes down to the beach area.
A real 5* !
Perfect location, 1 minute from the cable car station, 5 minutes from the bus station. 1 minute to the centre of Taormina where are all shops, cafes and everything. The roof in the top of the hotel has an excellent view of Taormina and the sea. The people from the hotel very friendly and helpful
Fantastic boutique hotel in Taormina. We arrived during a heavy storm and the staff went out of their way to set us up for the night. Beautiful room on a high cliff overlooking Taormina. Great Breakfast. Will happily stay in this hotel if we ever find ourselves in Taormina again.
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.
Villa Astoria is an older hotel on the main road into Taormina-a short walk into the old town and perfectly located across from the bus station. The staff was helpful, the rooms basic and comfortable and the breakfast very good.
Location and view superb. A real touch of old Italian and Sicilian luxury throughout. Rooms were amazing and the free hotel shuttle up and down to Taormina was a great surprise. The spa treatments are also excellent
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.
Excellent location close to beach and cable car to centre of Taormina. Excellent waiter service dinner in restaurant. Hotel has own beach club/lido with mini bus transport, payable but good value for a day
Very well run hotel with extremely kind and pleasant staff. The private beach is great, breakfast is good, bathrooms clean and renovated and beds very comfortable. Also shuttle to Taormina is great.
The staff are so friendly and accommodating— Mario and Francesco made us feel so welcome. A gorgeous and tasteful hotel. 5-min walk to Taormina city centre and from cable car down.
It’s been a magic night in Taormina. The Hotel was actually in the middle of the city center, super comfortable and strategically located. I really suggest that place ! Five stars
