A great friendly boutique hotel
Pros:

A small boutique hotel in a perfect location for local buses and tours. The staff were helpful with information. Breakfast was ample and could be enjoyed from the shady courtyard or with views over the coast. The funicular is 3 min walk away

Perfect for a cheap stay in Taormina
Pros:

Location, parking, view, staff all great

Cons:

Building was cute, but the bed wasn’t very comfortable. Temper your expectations it’s a great hotel for the money and the staff are amazing. You’re just not going to get any luxuries

the staff was very nice and friendly, the facility itself was a good value for the price.
Pros:

very nice staff, good service and location

Cons:

no elevator, no way to hang and dry your clothes, the bed wasn't too comfortable and the bathroom window had a straight view to the street so you needed to cover it up with a towel.

Pros:

Everything was perfect, great view from the balcony, close to both the car and stairway to Isola Bella and the bus stop for the busses from Catania is right across the street.

Every staff member that I met was nice and friendly and it was easy to communicate with them before and during my stay.

Hotel is a bit outside of the city center but only a short 3-5 minutes walk away and this was a plus for me as it made the entire area much quieter.

I booked without breakfast so can’t say anthing about that.

Can absolutely recommend this hotel.

Cons:

Nothing

Perfect hotel, with very friendly staff and beautiful view.
Pros:

Villa Astoria was perfect for our one week holiday in Taormina.

The sea view room is beautiful. The hotel is at the perfect location, only a few minutes from everything. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. They helped us book beach transfer, Etna and Sicily tours. We really recommend the Etna tour company also, with which Villa Astoria is in partnership.

The breakfast is also really good, it has everything we needed to start the day full of energy. We would also like to point out the very friendly lady, who helped us with breakfast each morning!

We will recommend Villa Astoria to everyone travelling to Sicily, thank you for this beautiful week!
