I think most reviewers did an ample job of describing the pros and cons of this hotel. We stayed here one night, based on a recommendation from a friend, who actually said we should come for the views but should expect a somewhat rundown room. The comment about the views was well placed. We had a lovely weather during our... More

Simply Amazing! The moment our family arrived, Carlo treated us as if we were his own family! Our room was beautiful and the the views of the ocean and Mt. Etna were breathtaking. It was picturesque! The gardens on the property were beautiful and we enjoyed stolling around smelling the citrus and floral scents. The breakfast every morning had a... More

We wanted a typical Italian hotel for our mini break in Sicily. This hotel fits the bill quite nicely. It is situated just outside of the centre of Taormina, which is the case with almost all villas and hotels. Thus, be prepare to walk 15 mins or so to get to the centre of Taormina with shops and restaurants. This... More

If this hotel was a person you would say it's charms excuse it's foibles. Yes the continental breakfast is only average and uses tinned fruit, and yes sometimes the air con can get a tad noisy and the mid week dinner they serve is only mediocre. And yet..... the room we stayed in was clean and spacious, the staff are... More

We had a lovely week at the Bel Soggiorno. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and made us most welcome. The situation is wonderful (providing you don't mind the steps) with fantastic views over the Med and Mount Etna. The rooms are simple, ours had a large, shared, terrace and all was very clean. The Hotel has real... More

Firstly the great things about this hotel. The views from the balcony rooms and the breakfast room are just stunning; when the sun is out and you can see the sea and the top of Mount Etna there's a great temptation not to move all day. The staff, from the owner, through the waiting staff to the cleaning ladies are... More

A lovely hotel and such a friendly relaxed atmosphere. A hotel more for couples rather than families or children. The hotel only does bed and breakfast, although they do do an evening meal once a week. Drawbacks are that once you have had breakfast there is no food to be had if you want to hang around the hotel all... More

Wow this hotel has it all! True Sicilian character, friendly staff and views to die for! Feels like you are stepping back in time with high ceilings and chandaliers, beautiful breakfast room overlooking the sea and Mount Etna. The hotel puts on a weekly dinner with entertainement which I thoroughly recommend with Carlo on piano and Luigi on guitar! Breakfast... More

This lovely hotel does not only have wonderful views, but also very helpful and friendly staff. It is almost like staying with friends! When I asked to help me with a web check in for my flight the next day, the very friendly recepcionist even installed a program to print the boarding tickets for me, because initially that was not...
