"We were so well received, and felt at home. The property is beautiful and has a lovely charm to it.
Luca was an incredible host and Gabriella was the sweetest and very hospitable.
The property is very well located, just a hop and a skip away from the the Main Street. We will definitely return."
"Staff and personnel went above and beyond to ensure our stay was wonderful. They were helpful, making reservations, finding us a boat to take out for the day. Everything about this hotel is amazing. The rooms and the food were both beautiful! We will back soon!

"This past visit July 2025 will mark our third consecutive summer stay at this gem of a hotel. We continue to enjoy the spacious accommodations and friendly staff. Like a sightly faded beauty, this 50 something year old hotel certainly can use an update , and we have been advised that is in progress. However you cannot beat the spaciousness and slightly faded grandeur of this beautiful property. The hotel is situated on what I believe to be one the ‘most’ gorgeous and picturesque of the entire Taormina area. The private grotto beach and pool areas are spectacular as is the view of Mount Etna from the buffet breakfast terrace. "
"Amazing views and really friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for you. The facilities are a little dated in places but didn’t detract from the stay. Highly recommend "

"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 Excelsior Palace is outstanding. Beautiful hotel in the heart of Taormina with a huge pool overlooking the Sea. Rooms are updated and very comfortable, many facing the beautiful Mount Etna. Delicious breakfast buffet with accommodating staff. Bar/cafe at the pool is perfect for a cocktail and salad or piadina while floating in the pool. I’ve stayed here three times and cannot wait to return!"

From the moment we arrived at Villa Taormina, we were treated with utmost care. The attention to detail, warm hospitality, and genuine care from the staff made our stay truly unforgettable. Every interaction—from check-in to farewell—was marked by thoughtfulness and grace.
The villa itself is a beautiful blend of old-world charm and modern comfort. Tucked away in the heart of Taormina, it offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding hills. The rooms are tastefully decorated, and the gardens are immaculate, offering tranquil corners for morning coffee or evening reflection.
What truly sets Villa Taormina apart, however, is the service. The staff anticipated our needs before we could voice them. Whether it was a dinner reservation, travel assistance, or simply remembering our preferences, they made us feel seen and appreciated. It’s rare to encounter this level of care and consistency.
If you're looking for an elegant, intimate, and heartfelt stay in Sicily, Villa Taormina is a place you'll never forget—and will long to return to."
