"Beautiful hotel with a great location to historical Palermo. Easy to walk to all sites. Our room had a nice view of the promenade along the sea. Dining menu is somewhat limited but delicious. Terrific staff. Highly recommend."

"Great location in the heart of the historical district, next door to a beautiful city park and walking distance to everything. Views from two balconies were spectacular. Older hotel, lots of antique furnishings and large rooms. I would recommend."

"This is a really special place. hard to find a more beautiful location with excellent accommodations. 20 minute walk into town which was fine with us but quick taxi ride for €15. eating in Cefalu was great"

The room, shared spaces and breakfast room were beautiful, the staff were fantastic and answered every question, including booking taxis for us, and the breakfast was delicious. I couldn't recommend this place more highly.

We loved our stay at Donna Carmela, beautiful boutique hotel, no expense has been spared in making it as nice as possible. Staff were charming, and the off season prices were very reasonable. That part of Sicily is very built up but the hotel is an oasis of peace.

Room was as expected, bed was comfortable as you would expect from a 5-star hotel. Bathroom was large as well and had the hotel branded goods. For the breakfast area, there was an option to sit outside, which was pleasant. Plenty of options as well and the staff where ready at hand to address any requests.
We used Catania as base to explore the surrounding sites, but the city itself was larger than I thought and had some interesting things to see. The cathedral and main shopping street are...

The Grand Hotel Timeo is a beautiful place to stay, the staff are charming and attentive, the service is excellent and the position in Taormina very well placed for excellent views across the bay and towards Etna.

This hotel is a class act. Beautifully appointed, every detail taken care of, lovely linen, furniture and decoration. Walking distance into Central Taormina and all its restaurants. Close to the biological gardens. Lovely helpful staff. Breakfast in the rooftop restaurant is easily the best hotel breakfast I have had since Chewton Glen in the UK! Highly recommended.

Lovely little hotel! Great staff—special mention goes to Giuseppe in the bar. The hotel is in the perfect location for a Taormina stay: not right in the centre but close enough to get there with a five minute walk. The rooms are lovely (well, ours was)! Also the breakfasts are to die for; such a wide selection to cater for every taste. I don’t really have any negatives that I can think of.

Wonderful staff (very helpful concierge), clean and comfortable room, varied and tasty breakfast buffet, and central location within walking distance of the centre. Beautiful grounds and views.

Beautiful property and friendly staff. Our room looked out over the water and marina with Palermo in the background. Such a peaceful setting to enjoy your breakfast in the morning.

First rate experience. The staff could not have been more helpful, kind, attentive and welcoming. The room was most comfortable with good facilities including newly refurbished bathroom. Balcony with view of the park opposite was a bonus.
Breakfast was delicious with freshly cooked eggs to order and a wide range of foods, regularly replenished.
Limited on street parking. Central location. Delightful all round. Recommended!

I didn’t want to leave! This is a beautiful hotel with what feels like botanical gardens, an amazing pool and right on the beach with Etna always visible. The staff are all super friendly from reception, to the pool bar to the wine bar, and can help to book taxis. The pool and main restaurant served great food and if you want a cheaper meal there is a local restaurant next door on the beach.
It is quite remote if you don’t have a car so ensure to book taxis early as they are pricey. We walked...
