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.

Taormina is an undeniably beautiful town that captures the charm of Sicily with its stunning views and Greek History. One of the highlights of visiting Taormina is the views one of which is Mount Etna, which serves as a magnificent backdrop to the town. However, it is very pricey and touristy, which can detract from its authenticity and local feel.
The town boasts an array of high-end shops and restaurants, catering to visitors seeking luxury and fine dining experiences. It's an excellent place to visit for a day trip, allowing you to soak in the sights, enjoy the upscale ambiance, and perhaps indulge in some shopping.
The beaches below Taormina, while picturesque, are primarily reserved for guests staying at the beach resorts. The public areas on these beaches are relatively small and can get crowded and you can be bothered by street vendors, especially during peak tourist season. If you're planning to spend a day at the beach, staying at one of the resorts might offer a more comfortable and exclusive experience.
In summary, Taormina is a delightful destination for a day trip, especially if you appreciate high-end shopping and dining, and want to enjoy a stunning view of Mount Etna. However, be prepared for the tourist crowds and limited public beach access.

It is super full of tourists. We were there in late May.
It is super full of tourists. We were there in late May. During the day, the day trip groups come to the town and it becomes hard to walk on the streets or find a sport in a restaurant. The prices in the restaurants are high.

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.
Great location. The hotel is just near the sea. Stockholm Spisone beach is sandy and free to use. It was a joy to take our time in the beach just a stone throw away from the room. The cable car is 10 min away by walking. Isola Bella beach is 15 min away from the room. The bus station to visit Taormina centre is just in front of the hotel and very easy to access. There are private beaches and restaurants around. It was an amazing holiday and I would like to thank you Guiseppe, the amazing host.
It’s in a fabulous location, on the beach overlooking Isola Bella. The steps up to Taormina start right outside the hotel.
Breakfast was excellent and although we didn’t have dinner at the hotel, there are plenty of very good restaurants nearby. The staff were extremely helpful and very friendly.
We were very unlucky with the weather during our stay… very little sun and plenty of rain. not sure how common that is in early May but the hotel helped us make the best of it.
Highly recommended.
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.
I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Taormina. The location is superb, but the entire staff is absolutely wonderful. As a family-owned hotel, you can feel the level of care in everything from how you're greeted every time you return to the breakfast room. I appreciated the suggestions for places to go in town, and the help in booking taxis to and from the airport. It's a beautiful place to rest and rejuvenate, and I'll be back.
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!!
Probably the best-located Hotel in the centre of Taormina. The staff are remarkable in their care and enjoyment of their profession. We were treated as individuals and honoured guests and the attention to our requests was without fault. A remarkable ethos was present throughout our stay. If you wish to be taken care of rather than just stay in a Hotel this is as good as it gets. We are impressed!
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.
The Location was the best thing about this hotel, directly overlooking Isola Bella, and an easy walk to the funicular railway to Taormina, beach and restaurants. The buses went right by in front of the hotel, and it was a short €15 taxi ride from the station. Breakfast on the Terrace was the second best thing, and the breakfast variety was excellent. The bed was comfortable.
Really charming hotel owner and staff that will make you feel that you are staying in a relax historical location. Located outside Taormina center but near the beach and well connected to the train station, ideal for both public or private transport. Good breakfast buffet (maybe the cappuccino can be improved -being in Italy-).
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* !
Great hotel with great location in Taormina, 3 minute walk from the historical center, through the hotel garden. We had a large room with classic italyan style wood furniture and a terrace with view of the gulf/sea and mount Edna - the room was very clean and fully equiped. The staff is very kind and helpful.
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.
The hotel is located close to the main strolling street of Taormina. I chose to park my car in the large garage about 10 minutes walk from the hotel for about €25 per day. The hotel has parking that I didn’t take advantage of only because I arrived very early.
This hotel has old world charm! You feel like you are in Sicily! The location is on the beach. All rooms have sea view(amazing)!! Chairs & towels are included in price as is breakfast. This hotel & rooms are very clean( white sheets & white soft towels)
excellent location to Taormina centre, breakfast was good, balcony, staff very friendly and helpful. Free parking for moped outside hotel but I guess on a first come first serve basis however we never had any trouble parking. I would stay here again.
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.
Nice location close to Lumbi Parking. 5 minutes walk to the centre of Taormina. Small but nice hotel. Beautiful view from the balcony! Really good breakfast!
