This is a toplist with the best hipster hotels in Taormina, Italy. You can help to make this list better by voting for your favourite places!
Cozy apartment equipped with modern facilities from coffee machine to electronic curtain. The level of comfort beat most of the hotels we stayed in south Italy. We loved this apartment. One big advantage for me is, unlike other apartments, they have a staff sitting in office (from early morning to evening) so you don’t have to schedule appointment and get keys from landlord. Location was good enough. There was a small staircase next to the property that lead you to the old town in 3 minutes or so. There’s no elevator in the property. We got the largest room which was actually two adjoining apartments. There were 2 double beds and 2 sofa beds in total.
This places is so beauty and a great relaxing escape
A beautiful little boutique hotel with beautiful gardens and stunning surroundings. The rooms have old world charm and have very large and comfortable beds. Excellent location to get into the main areas but still far enough away to enjoy the quiet. We had a difficult time finding the hotel and would suggest a more detailed explanation about its location be given upon confirmation. Staff were lovely and incredibly helpful - would recommend this villa 100%
We have been to Villa Zagara Garden about 7 times in the past 3 years and will continue to do so... The location is central but still cut off and secluded... Waking up to those views in the morning feeling that fresh grass in your feet is an incredible experience that i never get tired of... the apartments are kept extremely well and clean. Place is perfect for families or large groups - Massimo the host is incredible, hospitable and just simply a great guy. You'll see us again soon.
Beautiful B&B with lovely accomodations. Fantastic views in all directions with multiple areas available to drink in those views. An abundant breakfast and amazing, friendly staff always ready to assist.
In the main walk of Taormina this intimate relais has something magic.. A must stay!
Lovely place, great host Sebastiano, very helpfull and nice, very good breakfast and wonderfull view. We will definetly come back.
I don't have words for Casa Cuseni - truly one of the most wonderful houses I have ever seen let alone stayed! The rooms, gardens and museum are so steeped in history and breathtaking, and the view across Taormina from the Greta Garbo balcony is second to none. On our first night we sat on the balcony and watched lava flow from Mt Etna, a once in a lifetime experience. We loved that the house is a little above the tourist epicentre of Taormina but the perfect place to access everything. Magdalena, Maria, Francesco and - apologies! I have forgotten the lovely chefs name! - were so warm and friendly. If we had our time again we'd book more nights here. Highly recommend and then some.
Where to begin...
The rooms are beautiful and incredibly comfortable. Little details are never missed.
The breakfasts were fantastic and my goodness, what a view. Etna one side and the Mediterranean the other.
The staff were next level, so helpful and always so friendly. We bumped into the hotel owner and his daughter who I think now helps to manage the place... what a lovely character.
Should we return to Sicily (and I really hope we do) I will not stay anywhere but here. Magic!
Had an amazing dinner here loved the place ambiance food and overall the restaurant
Excellent hotel with an amazing view on the Mt. Etna and Taormina. Staff was incredible and helpful and went out of their way to make you comfortable. Special thanks to Carla for a very warm welcome, Claudio for driving us to town and Jacky for an amazing breakfast. The shower is amazing. Will definitely come back and can recommend this hotel to anyone!!
Had a magical stay with my family at Isoco Guesthouse. The owner is exceptionally thoughtful and very helpful. The guesthouse has incredible views over the bay and the rooms are amazing - mine was Keith Haring themed and probably the coolest place I've ever stayed. I would definitely go back!
Fantastic hotel and restaurant, private beach and all staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful. Surprise upgrade as well as we have just got engaged. Highly recommended!
A real 5 star hotel. Magnificent views from the sea facing rooms and the sun terrace. A free shuttle takes you up to Taormina old town. The same shuttle can take you back as well but you can just walk back downhill -- it is slightly over 1 km from the central square. Mind that there is no beach nearby and using the ones the hotel takes you to is expensive.
Beautiful place, great food and decent service!
Amazing location, stunning view from the private infinity pool!
My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary. This is a special place, the views from our room were breathtaking. The room was very clean, fresh, bright and traditional Italian. The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating. They were able to accommodate our request for gluten free breakfast options. I highly recommend B&B Villa Antonio if you want a nice romantic getaway.
