Beautiful pensione with a breathtaking view and a warm staff to make your stay in Taormina unforgettable.
Pros:

The views of the water were amazing! The garden patio was a shady retreat from the sun. The staff were great, especially Antonella, who helped us with a lot of advice. The breakfast had an array of savory and sweet items to start your day. Our room was very comfortable and clean. It was in a great location—Corso Umberto was within a short walk, transport within steps—but in a less hectic spot so we could enjoy our stay.

Cons:

Nothing, it was everything we could ask for!

Polecam hotel, przepiękny widok i wszędzie blisko.
Pros:

Wspaniały widok na morze z pokoju, nawet bez balkonu było można go podziwiać ! Pokój duży i wygodny, łazienka także. Obsługa przemiła, zwłaszcza Pani w recepcji. Poleciła rejs i wszystko zorganizowała.
Śniadania dobre, chociaż bez szału.

Cons:

Jedyne co mi się nie podobało to hałas z ulicy pod oknami. Cały czas skutery, autobusy i lid. Od rana do nocy.

This hotel is underrated, exceeded expectations
Pros:

I will start by saying this hotel is underrated and it exceeded our expectations. Perfectly located near the cable cars and Corso Umberto. Rooms were updated and modern, pictures on website need to be updated because they dont do it justice. Staff were incredibly kind and helpful, great breakfast. Would definitely book this one again when we come back!

Hotel La Pensione
Pros:

This hotel is in the most amazing location of Taormina. It’s right by the cable car and bus station and is only a 10 minute walk to the downtown. Happy hour and breakfast are delicious, special shout out to Mario for making us feel welcomed and giving us recommendations for our stay. The outside patio has incredible views of the water. They helped us book a beach club with pickup and drop off via taxi for cheap. Absolutely would recommend!
