We loved this hotel. It is very quiet and serene with an amazing location. The roof top bar has an amazing view of Taormina. We stayed at this hotel and the Four Season in Taormina and enjoyed each stay equally. The staff here was amazing. We are not big breakfast eaters but enjoyed the pastries, fruit and coffee. Dinners were amazing so much so that my son insisted that we eat there most nights. Our room was very spacious and clean. Would definitely return!

Beautiful hotel close to the main area. The star to this property is the hotel staff from the concierge, to front desk and to the fabulous breakfast staff in the am. We had arrived late and the dining options were closing and kept the restaurant open for us and offered us a traditional Sicilian meal! First of many fabulous meals here. The roof top was great - we enjoyed a drink every night before dinner. A perfect stay for our week in Sicily!

The most incredible hotel in Taormina. I have stayed in the other two and the Palazzo Vecchio is by far the best. It is situated beautifully above and set back from the main promenade and has the finest rooftop terrace I have experienced. The staff - especially the restaurant were wonderfully accommodating. Our room was gorgeous, large and incredibly well-furnished. Bravo!

We never received our luggage and ALL front desk staff tried repeatedly to phone the airport to get updates on our luggage. They were beyond helpful. The breakfast was wonderful with many made to order options in a beautiful plant filled solarium. The roof top bar was quite a highlight with DJ music at just the right level to allow conversation. Loved the location just steps up but away from Corso Umberto.

We stayed for one night and it’s the most perfect location if you don’t have a long time in Taormina. The check in was very efficient and they called us beforehand to make sure our driver knew directions - when we arrived there was someone waiting for us before the road to the hotel (as its pedestrian only) they took our luggage and it was a premium service. Antonio and Salvatore checked us in and Antonio gave us a wonderful tour of the building and he was so friendly Abdulla passionate about the hotel - would recommend the hotel 10/10 Side note - there is a bit of noise so if you are sensitive to this bring earplugs

Stunning palazzo with historic charm and incredible views of the sea and the Etna. Valet parking was available and easy to access as the palazzo is located in the pedestrian area. We booked an executive junior suite for family of 3, the sofa bed is small/twin size, which was a little surprising to me but the view made up for it. We only had breakfast in the restaurant which looked beautiful but we usually prefer to walk around and try something outside of the hotels.

I'm spoiled. More pricy than I usually spend but so well worth it! Our rooms were lovely (Hotel graciously accommodated a room mix-up.) Little extras here and there. Breakfast was lovely, and the sky bar commanded fantastic view of Mt Etna. Lovely staff (even sent us off to the airport at 4 in the morning with fresh strawberries and croissants.) Hotel is right in the heart of charming Taormina.

What a beautiful boutique hotel

Fantastic stay at Palazzo Vecchio. The personnel was attentive, the facilities and the room were spotless and the rooftop bar has by far the best view of the town, the sea and Etna. On some nights they also have a DJ. We did not try the restaurant for dinner but it looked atmospheric at night. If you can, try to book a room with sea view. We arrived by car and they had valet parking service which made life easy.

The staff was exceptional. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. The hotel is gorgeous and our suite had a stunning view of the Ionian Sea. The mattress was wonderfully comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. I loved seeing Andrea every morning. However, I would skip the restaurant, it was disappointing. There are many other great restaurants in Taormina. I highly recommend the Palazzo Vecchio. Truly terrific!

PALAZZO VECCHIO A HIDDEN GEM IN TAORMINA

The place is a gem, service is personally handled and speak to Miriam who is a professional and splendid customer service person with serious experience. The food is excellent, location is very nice, just be aware it is on the right side of a Pizzeria where you have to climb up stairs. I did advise them to put a sign as there was no sign and you have to climb up some stairs it is on the top. Splendid hotel with a personal service that is hard to beat. Strongly recommend this hotel.
