The setting is stunning. Best views I found of the area (especially from the sun terraces, these are ridiculously beautiful; except without umbrellas so fairly unusable). The gardens are divine too and the position of the villa is perfect for the town and the funicular. Breakfast is nice, but simple, and they work hard to drive away the wasps which are everywhere in Sicily in summer. The staff are all very helpful, kind and friendly, and went out of their way to help me with anything I needed. I stayed in the single room with a Mountain View - my terrace was bigger than the room! The room was sufficient for one person, though I did get bruises on my leg from walking into the bed corner repeatedly as the space between the bed and the wall is very small. Great value for the price though.

There was very weak shower pressure in the single room, and in the afternoon the water was also cold (not the end of the world in Sicilian heat, but some travellers may wish to know this). Also, because it’s a house you can hear everything. I arrived to an operatic performance in one room at 1am, and in the morning you can hear everyone in the house speaking, moving about etc. The staff were cautious to be as quiet as possible but you’ll need ear plugs if you want to sleep through. I did this and found it was perfectly fine. There are so many perks to this place it really was a minor issue for me. I also used an eye mask to keep the aircon out of my eyes as in the small room it blows right at the bed.

The location was great . Close to the chair lift . Bustops and a short walk to all the restaurants and shops . The hotel was quirky and cute . A lovely garden and a homely feel . You can choose to have breakfast in the garden. At a small cost . The bed was comfy and the little balcony had a lovely view. Air con was effective. The owners were very helpful, courteous and thoughtful with required information . There was a service to the beach that had a beachclub called la dolce vita which provided pick up and return including 2 beach chairs and umbrella at 25 Euros for 2 people . The nightly rate seemed reasonable for what you got .

There was no fridge in the room and limited access points for charging devices .

I recently stayed at Hotel Villa Nettuno in Taormina, Sicily, for 12 nights, and it was a delightful experience. This charming boutique hotel is managed by two brothers, who along with their staff, make every effort to ensure guests have a pleasant stay. The three staff members—Antonella, Luisa, and Milena—are exceptional, always attentive and ready to assist with any needs. The hotel's location is perfect: just a 5-minute walk to the cable car and a 10-minute walk to the main pedestrian street, Corso Umberto, and the bus station that takes you to the beach. The property is very clean and well-maintained, and it boasts a spacious terrace with a stunning view where breakfast is served and where you can relax in the evening. The hospitality here is outstanding. Both the managers and the staff are incredibly helpful, always willing to provide guidance and recommendations for tourist destinations. If you're planning a trip to Taormina, I highly recommend staying at Hotel Villa Nettuno for its excellent service, convenient location, and beautiful ambiance.

Amazing place. Great Italian ambiance. Views from Balcony are worth $$$. The garden is beautiful. Staff are so kind and helpful. Place is super clean with hotel name embroidered on bed sheets. Best hotel we stayed in Italy for only 100E a night. Everything is close 5 minute walk to the cable car to beach. 5 minutes to main town square. So glad we chose this place. Only area for improvement is breakfast. It’s only 6E but very simple. Coffee is not good. Sweet rolls so so and some jogurt. We only ate once and chose to have breakfast in area cafes.

Nothing.

An old family owned villa. Not a modern hotel and no elevator. But we wanted a more authentic place to stay. Comfortable beds and nice bathroom. Excellent service. Breakfast in their beautiful garden and the views! Cannot describe. Close to the cable car and just three minutes walk to the Main Street through old town. Also close to the bus station where we took the bus to the airport when leaving.

If you have problems walking or bad knees, this is not for you as there are lots of stairs and no elevator. But so it is in most places in Taormina.

Location was perfect for me since I was traveling Sicily by bus. It only took about 5 min to the hotel from the main bus station. Also, the bus station was where I could get on a hop on hop off bus. I really liked the fact that it was a little bit away from the busy touristy shopping streets and alleys. They have amazingly well manicured terrace overlooking the m no other. Side of Taormina. I throughly enjoyed my quiet lunch and drinks (away from all the tourists) with magnificent view every single day of my stay. Supermarket was only about 5minutes up the street, and was so convenient to grab salads, breads, cold cuts, and drinks for reasonable prices. WiFi was fast in my room. The brothers who run the place were so nice, and spoke very good English. I highly recommend this place as long as you don’t mind using stairs.

I can’t think of any. Thank you.

Excellent room! The standout is the full view of the garden from the balcony and the side view of the sea. Gorgeous. The bathroom is the biggest of our time in Italy. The whole place is very clean, spotless in fact. There are shutters as well as glass doors and curtains on the room's balcony door. So soundproofing is pretty good. It's a quiet location anyways, yet close to all stores and the cable car and bus stop (both 2 min walk). There is easy access to multiple viewpoints of the lush garden, the sea, and the other hilltop homes from the gorgeous villa. These include the communal balcony in the first floor entry way, second floor, and from the garden tables. Breakfast is worth it for 6€ each. Your choice of freshly made espresso based coffees, pastries, fruits, yoghurt, cold fruit-infused water, tea, is available. The staff are available to assist and are genuinely kind. Highly recommend this spot!

Be mindful of the curtains propped in the windows, they are delicate and not meant to be pulled aside :)

Very good value near Taormina center. Room was huge, bathroom good size and lovely terrace view. Host was lovely and accommodating. The whole property was charming and has one of the best views of Taormina especially from their breakfast garden. A hidden gem in Taormina, good value for stay as it was close to the center, restaurants, shops, bus station and the cable car to get to the other places.

This is not a negative but please bear in mind there are a good few flight of stairs to get to the accommodation. Good exercise after eating and dining around Taormina. Be mindful if you have heavy luggage on the stairs.

Gorgeous property throughout. Although the decor of the room was nothing special, the common areas, including the garden and sitting room were spectacular. The staff, particularly the women who looked after us at breakfast were great. Lovely breakfast sitting in a wonderful garden with views over the sea.

The hotel was great, but don't drive in Taormina. We couldn't navigate to the hotel in the car (one way streets, ZTL etc) so ended up parking and walking. The hotel, does however have a nearby parking spot (extra cost, about 10Euro I think) and the staff gave very good instructions on how to get from where we had parked to the parking area.

Superbly placed within few steps away of the pedestrian area with the attractions in Taormina and the cable car towards Isola Bella and other beaches, Villa Nettuno’s position provides magnificent view over the Mediterranean sea. If this not being enough, once getting inside, the visitor’s steps are walked through a museum like living room remembering the glory ages of our grandfather’s Sicily, only as passage for everyone to a cozy, green and shadowed interior garden where the exclusively healthy/ vitamin breakfast is served. The owners and the staff extremely friendly and supportive.

If this could be a dislike for anybody, the early mornings in Villa Nettuno are accompanied by the singing of the birds and the aroma of the croissants early baked in the downstairs kitchen…
