Restful and Well Looked After Holiday
Pros:

Villa Esperia is superbly located for a stay in Taormina. It is a short walk to the centre of the lower parts of the town with a wide selection of bars, restaurants and some small shops. It is also very close to the cable car taking you to the main town with its very chic shopping and even more varied bars and restaurants. The hotel is very comfortable, well appointed and meticulously clean. The staff are very friendly, endlessly helpful and speak much better English than my useless Italian. The pool is terrific with splendid views over the Bay. The Hotel's private beach is some 2Km away and is served by a regular shuttle bus. It has good facilities including a good restaurant. It costs 16 Euros a day per person

Cons:

Nothing to do with the hotel but visitors need to be aware that the hotels around Isola Bella are situated on cliffs well above the beaches - some stamina is required to walk up and down!

Agradable y muy bien ubicado
Pros:

Creo que el establecimiento esta un poco antiguo, pero es la tonica en muchos hoteles de la zona. La habitación estaba reformada, era exterior y de un tamaño bueno, reformada incluso el baño.
Las instalaciones bien asi como el desayuno, mas que suficiente.
El personal muy atento y profesional

I liked the area, the pool.

The fact that the room that we paid for was not available, given a lesser room and told that is the way it is and offered a bottle of wine.
