Hotel Villa Belvedere Reviews

Not bad. But remember don’t arrive and check in too early. Staffs there are very friendly and helpful.

Excellent service

The scenery is beautiful, the price fluctuates greatly, it is worth it within 2000. I added 60 euros to change to a sea view room and breakfast, which is a great deal. The attitude of the service staff is so good, better than a five-star hotel

It's not the tourist season, but you can see the beautiful sea view. The front desk is very enthusiastic and carefully explains Taormina's attractions.

The room is too low and too old, but the terrace view is invincible

We had the most delightful stay at Hotel Villa Belvedere. The location is wonderful, view is incredible, wonderful rooms and friendly staff. Enjoyed several lunches at the hotel and they were very tasty. Will be back one day for sure. Superb hotel!

Location is about a 7 min walk to town. Beautiful pool area with an excellent view of the water. Great staff. Room was on the lower level - lots of mosquitos I am guessing from the open window in the bathroom. It was fine, but a little musty Breakfast was 35 Euro so we opted out of it. Great restaurant nearby- Rosemarino. Near the public gardens. I would come back for the pool but request a better room on a higher level.

We stayed for 7 nights in this lovely hotel and were celebrating our 30 th wedding anniversary with my husband. We were very pleased that we chose this hotel. The hotel staff was amazing and made they best to make us feel good. During the first breakfast we got a cake from the hotel kitchen, so sweet. The breakfast was lovely with all sicilian delicacies and they also made omelettes and crepes, which were delicious. The hotel was very clean and well maintained. Our room was spacious and beautiful. Beds were good and even if I am a light sleeper I slept very well because room was quiet and light blocked with wooden window covers. Aircondition was perfect in hot days and wifi worked well. Pool area was beautiful and not too crowded. Before leaving we were offered cooling drinks, what a lovely surprise from the staff. We would like to give 6 stars out of 5 to this hotel. We have travelled quite a lot and this was something exceptional!!! This is the hotel we definately recommend to all others. We will return here hopefully next year!

My family spent five delightful days at Hotel Villa Belvedere this month. We loved it. The location is bursting with charm and five-star views. The ambiance is a mix of old-world elegance and approachable friendliness. It is not glitzy or over done. Our villa suite was amazing. The breakfast was copious. The staff in the restaurant and at the front desk could not do enough for us. While Taormina was teeming with tourists, HVB was the most delightful refuge. I wouldn't change a thing. We all wish we could go back tomorrow.

This was an amazing holiday. We stayed at the Belvedere for two weeks in July 2024. Our room had its own terrace with sun loungers and a table and chairs and was slightly away from the main hotel and closer to the pool. Everybody was so friendly and helpful, from the people on reception (including the handsome man whose name I didn't catch [I must be slipping], who made the best Limoncello Spritz in Taormina), to Tattiana who cleared up after us in our room every day. The hotel is perfectly situated in Taormina and is close to the bus station, the cable car, the public gardens ,the Piazza IX Aprile, and lots of lovely restaurants. We had breakfast every morning on the terrace with a fantastic view over the bay of Giardini Naxos and there was almost too much to choose from. I'm not sure how I got back into my jeans for the journey home, but I managed it somehow. The food at the pool bar ranged from a cheese and ham toastie, which was gorgeous, to grilled seabass and the best linguine with mussels and clams. Special mentions go to Rita, Leo, Ilenia, Nella, Angelo, Liudmila, Giuseppe, Gabriele and Elena for making our holiday so special. We would not hesitate to go back to this hotel, it's just a matter of finding a date when they can fit us in!

We visited Villa Belvedere as the final stop on our road trip from Rome to Sicily, and what a fabulous spot to end our journey and take in the sights in the beautiful town of Taormina! Getting to the hotel through Taormina's narrow streets is a little difficult, but once you're there it's definitely worth it. The hotel offers parking for guests, but be aware because parking is at a premium in the town, it is quite expensive at 40 euros a night. On looking around it would have been equally expensive to find parking elsewhere, but it's worth remembering it's an additional cost to your trip. The concierges will park your car for you, as the on-site parking is quite restricted and your car may be parked in secure parking elsewhere. The welcome at the hotel was excellent - the desk staff were friendly, efficient, and helpful and provided us with welcome drinks whilst we checked in. It's a beautiful, villa style building positioned high above the sea, with incredible views along the coast and towards Mount Etna, which was erupting spectacularly during our five nights at the hotel! An amazing sight, although the local people took it all very calmly. Our room was ideal, clean, and well - appointed with a big bathroom, and plenty of hanging space, as well as a small balcony to enjoy the view over the sea and the hotel's pool and gardens. The room was very peaceful, with good air-conditioning, so it was easy to sleep, even though it was very hot when we were there. Breakfast was served either in the breakfast room, or on the small terrace. It's a great spot to enjoy breakfast and coffee whilst enjoying the amazing view, and there was a good selection of items available, or they would cook something to order if you wished. The staff were excellent and very helpful, attentive, and friendly. The hotel doesn't serve dinner, but offers light lunches at the poolside during the day. There is such a lot of choice of places to eat in Taormina that it's good just to walk through the town's streets and alleyways and find something you like - we really enjoyed eating at Mamma Rosa's restaurant, which was in a great spot for people watching and had great food too! There is so much to see and do in and around Taormina, that Villa Belvedere is an ideal spot to stay. It's just a few minutes stroll from the main streets in the town, but gives you a little extra peace to relax in beautiful surroundings. The staff are able to give you suggestions about places to visit and will help you to arrange anything you want to do. We really enjoyed our stay at this fabulous hotel, and we hope to visit again, as we will definitely return to Sicily in the future.

We decided to return to Villa Belvedere and Taormina and we are happy we did. We had a wonderful vacation thanks to this exceptionally beautiful and welcoming hotel. It has a special atmosphere combining great service with warm friendliness. This boutique hotel has been passed on for generations and is still run by the same family. We loved the breakfast buffet with fresh fruits, various kinds of bread, cakes, Sicilian specialties and even coffee granita. We had lunch by the pool almost every day. One favorite was penne with pesto siciliano, another one was linguine with seafood. We also hade their outstanding tiramisu (almost every day ). The setting is exceptionally beautiful with a great panorama over the bay and the vulcano Etna and there is a private garden where you smell the jasmine flowers and lemon trees (especially in evening). The hotel is next door to the wonderful public garden where we attended a beautiful outdoor music concert for free. We had a great vacation and met some new friends at the hotel. The personell is very welcoming and friendly and made us feel at home. Thank you Belvedere for a great stay!

We loved this hotel! Beautiful, quaint hotel overlooking Taomina Mare. Perfectly located close to everything in town you might want to visit. The staff is wonderful. The breakfasts are delicious. The view is spectacular. The pool area is fabulous - one day we had lunch at the pool- it exceeded expectations. The local wine made it even better! Fully recommend - you won’t be sorry.

We stayed at this hotel for 10 days for our honeymoon in April and it was magical. The staff are so attentive, so helpful in sorting wonderful day trips and ensuring you have a terrific stay. Particularly Joshua who was so helpful in sorting a wonderful hiking trip on Etna with a volcanologist, a boat trip around the bay and a winery visit. The spread of food at breakfast is wonderful and the restaurant by the pool for lunch is perfect! Lovely bedrooms too! Couldn’t recommend this place enough if you are after a stunning relaxing stay. It’s a four star that feels very much like a five!
