There are three key things that made our stay here so enjoyable.
Firstly, it is a beautiful, boutique hotel with an attention to detail in the stylish, comfortable and well-equipped rooms.
Secondly, we hadn’t quite realised how perfectly placed the location of the hotel was. It is ideally located to take in Palermo and a moments walk away from the square at the centre of all the action.
Thirdly, all of the staff across our four days were so incredibly helpful and seemed genuinely keen to help...

A great hotel with the usual aspect of the old theatre and cinema still there.
The hotel is also perfectly positioned for strolls into the town and to the sea .
Great views from the terrace.
A good selection at breakfast

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...

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.

Stay at the Alma hotel for 2 nights. Room was perfect for our needs, comfortable bed, clean & bathroom with a shower. Room comes with a mini bar with soft drinks, water which are free to have. We also were given a bottle of bubbles to celebrate our wedding anniversary which was a lovely touch. Staff are extremely friendly & helpful. Hotel location is great, easy walk to all the attractions & dining spots. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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.

We had such a great stay here. The room was so stylish and comfortable, and the staff were so helpful in showing us how to get around Palermo. Everywhere we wanted to go was in 20-30 mins walking distance which was perfect.
Thanks to Fillipo who got in touch before our stay via WhatsApp and book us transport from the airport which was super helpful.

Excellent hotel to relax, and if you play golf it is ideal, but you do need a car if you wish to visit any of the 'sights' on the island. Great setting, excellent rooms, staff all well trained and all provide a 5 star service. Ignore the whinging 'reviews' who complain about the prices, or trivia. This is a quality 5 star hotel in a wonderful setting - it isn't Butlins, Center Parcs, or McDonalds - so if you have noisy demanding sprogs - leave them at home.
