An amazing experience at Hotel Villa Schuler
Pros:

Beautiful boutique hotel in the perfect location in Taormina. We had a beautiful room overlooking the water. The full breakfast was amazing with several options and the view from the terrace was spectacular. The entire staff, especially Elena, was very warm and accommodating to my daughter and I. They helped with dinner reservations and scheduled all of our drivers for the rest of our trip around Sicily. A truly wonderful stay.

Excellent stay in Taormina (and great value)
Pros:

I had high expectations for our stay at Hotel Villa Schuler based on reviews and reading before the trip. Upon our very first interaction with the staff at check-in, I felt immediately like we were in the right place and the positive reviews were for sure true. During the rest of the three day stay at Villa Schuler, we continued to be impressed by the consistenly warm and helpful demeanor of ALL the staff, the excellent service we received, and the overall welcoming attitude of the whole place. The hotel feels like an oasis amidst the busyness of high season in Taormina -- the gardens leading up to the town are huge and beautiful and a very relaxing and cool spot for a rest (particular highlight, the koi and turtle pond). Likewise, the terrace on the opposite side of the hotel where breakfast is served has an amazing panoramic view of the sea and surrounding area (including Etna). After spending a few days in Taormina, you'll realize that both these features are extremely unique for any kind of space in the city. We stayed in a top floor junior suite which had an awesome sea view and large terrace. Though the room itself was compact, it was impeccably clean, well appointed (tons of storage spots) and was the perfect home base for a couple for that length of time. We paid for the full breakfast each day during our stay -- it got a little repetitive by day three, and would have benefited from a few more hot options beyond eggs made to order, though service was consistently excellent and efficient. And again, that view! The hotel also gave a great recommendation for a boat tour and beach club they helped book, as well as restaurants nearby -- we felt like we were in very good hands!

Beautiful hotel
Pros:

A beautiful hotel in a great location. We booked an sea view room with a balcony and were treated to a beautiful view each morning. Rooms were well furnished, the breakfast choice was impressive, and the staff could not have been more helpful. Only a very short walk (1 min) from the Corso Umberto but the location still felt quiet. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel anyone.

Helpful Maintenance service
Pros:

I have been at the hotel for a couple of days during my trip in Sicily. I had a lovely experience not only for the room and for the breakfast, but also for the kindness of the staff. I had a problem with the Wi-Fi in my room and a charming goodlooking handsome man, Saro-this is his name-appeared in my room to help me and fix the problem with confidence and experience.
Thank you for your great help Saro! It has been a pleasure to meet you. I will be back to Villa Schuler soon!
