Just 250 metres from Taormina cathedral, La Malandrina - Apartments & Suites is a 15-minute walk from the Greek Amphitheatre. It offers self-catering accommodation featuring free WiFi.

Air-conditioned apartments will provide you with a flat-screen TV, a seating area and an equipped kitchenette with a dishwasher and a refrigerator. The private bathroom includes a hairdryer and free toiletries.

We had room 4; one of the suites with a stunning balcony. We had a view of the town below and the hillside above. The room was flooded with light with windows on three sides that afforded us a gorgeous view down the coastline and of Mt Aetna. The room’s amenities were first class and the bed and linens plush. If you wanted breakfast a great choice would be to simply walk to the Hotel Continental next door. There is a short walk downhill to the Catania Gate and to all the stores and eating venues there. This was by far the classiest place we have stayed in all of Italy.

    A wonderful boutique hotel with excellent hosts. We stayed in a stylishly decorated studio which was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. We loved the location along a quiet walkway, but conveniently close to shops and restaurants. As others have noted, there is a lengthy set of steps leading to the property, but host Andrea portered our luggage and the steps were quite manageable for us otherwise. Lovely stay. Highly recommend.

    The hotel has a fantastic design and ambience, spread over many levels with stunning views from the public areas and most bedrooms. Breakfast was lovely with high quality items and helpful staff. We only stayed for two nights so the location was perfect for everything including bus connections. We had a couple of small problems with our room and each time the staff went above and beyond to make it better for us, including upgrading our room (we didn’t ask for this).

    Gorgeous little boutique hotel in an old renovated villa, with very comfortable, luxurious rooms and modern bathrooms. Rooms are decorated with lovely, individual touches, and there are good quality toiletries provided. The bed was very comfortable, with big, soft pillows. Breakfast was served upstairs with a view over the town and towards Mount Etna, with everything freshly prepared. What really made it such a perfect stay through was the friendliness of the staff, who were wonderful and friendly throughout.
