Taormina hotellit lähellä Saracen Castle

Plussat: Location is great, pool&garden with a small restaurant is fabulous and the staff is super nice and helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: What I liked: the location (5 minutes walk to the centre of Taormina), the facilities (swimming pool, gardens), the amazing sea view, the staff (really helpful and trying to accommodate all your needs).

Miinukset: I booked a junior suite for three adults and one little child. The suite came with a double bed, a tiny single bed and an extra cot. The single bed was more suitable for a kid than an adult. I was also expecting to have a bit more space overall.

Plussat: There is a saying "You never get a second chance to make a first impression", and if there is one place living up to the concept of excellent customer service it is this hotel. From the moment we arrived and to the departure, the team delivered a service way beyond our expectations. And, our expectations were high due to comments we read from previous guests. Nothing was a problem, every question had a solution, and recommendations were fulfilled (we ate at Vicolo Stretto. Go there!). And, on their own suggestion they saw us and upgraded us to brand new suite on their own proposal. Wow! Book the Rock Junior Suites. Thank you, to all of the team at Belvedere. We hope to come back soon!

Miinukset: There was nothing we did not like, except for things out of control for the hotel. When we stayed there it was heavy rain in Taormina. But, the ideal, central location of the hotel made it easy to walk around and get back to dry up. And, of course the hotel provided plenty of umbrellas for guests to borrow.

Plussat: Perfect location. Beautiful surroundings. Lovely boutique hotel in very gorgeous place. Staff were incredibly helpful and courteous. We loved it.

Miinukset: We loved everything.

Plussat: Truly excellent hotel with fantastic breakfast!

Plussat: Sea views and garden terraces leading to a pool.

Miinukset: The bar was soulless. The bar and drinks have potential to be better.

Plussat: How do you make the coffee it was deliciod

Miinukset: Realt hard to get there via gps.

Plussat: Loved the setting by the pool ,very comfortable chairs and fab poolside restaurant. Extremely helpful and knowledgable staff ...recommendations of restaurants spot on.

Miinukset: Not much!

Plussat: View

Miinukset: Parking is a challenge in Taormina, and my car was damaged (without me noting) in the parking.

Plussat: Everything was wonderful staff so very helpful could not have asked for anything more

Plussat: Best in Taromina: Location. Amenities. View. Garden. Terrace. Service and staff.

Miinukset: Rooms could be bigger.

Plussat: Beautiful time location great staff friendly.

Miinukset: Size of the room very small not comfortable.

Plussat: The staffs, onsite facilities, location was prefect! The whole garden smells of roses.

Plussat: unbelievably beautiful view

Plussat: View amazing Staff outstanding

Miinukset: Shuttle to sister hotel always busy need to run every 15mins

Plussat: Great position in town centre, beautiful view from bar and restaurant. Excellent staff.

Miinukset: Room not great value. Dimensions poorly proportioned, not that comfortable, bit cramped, as upstairs downstairs, and no view at all. Expected more for the money.

Plussat: The location and outlook. The refined classic feel of the hotel. The ability to use the sister hotel on the beach.

Miinukset: The drinks on the terrace very very expensive

Plussat: Outstanding customer service. The staff was very helpful, especially the front bellman Francesco, who took care of our vehicle when we made a errant turn and found ourselves trapped on a pedestrian only street. He saved the day!

Miinukset: It is every difficult for parking there. I wish I would have received some warning about this prior to arriving.

Plussat: Views, gardens and staff

Miinukset: Turn down service at night could be done earlier

Plussat: Wonderfully located. Fantastic staff. Beautiful gardens.

Miinukset: Pool area a bit small for number of guests wishing to use it. Pool itself in need of re-tiling! Tiles coming off. An adults only pool would be a bonus. Overall the property could do with a bit of updating.

Plussat: Beautiful location. Rooms are a little dated, but clean. The restaurant is soso. Much better restaurants in town. Very nice gym. Overall a nice hotel.

Plussat: Pool nice, beach very nice.

Miinukset: Hotel exhausted. Needs total renovation

Plussat: Awesome location, facilities and staff. Really good breakfast

Plussat: Aamiainen kauniilla terassilla merinäköalla. Ihana infinity-uima-allas ja mahdollisuus uida meressä. Jacuzzi löytyy myös. Rauhallinen tunnelma.

Miinukset: Huoneissa huono äänieristys. Mahdotonta saada kahvia mistään ennen kuun aamiainen aukeaa klo 7.30. Wifi pätkii. Kaoottinen uloskirjautuminen ja erittäin ahdas parkkipaikka.

Plussat: Great location. On the beach with five minute bus ride to Taormina

Plussat: This place is amazing and the view is spectacular! The live music in the bar was entertaining, we loved it! The band was amazing! :) Will definitely come back to this place! Highly recommend this place if you come to Taormina!

Miinukset: The only thing is that you are reliant onto the hotel shuttle bus if you want to get to the city.

Plussat: I enjoyed everything but everything. Especially Manuela and Santino are fabulous. I thank each person from the heart. Location, hotel, sea, service, meals, mini bar, room cleaning is great. We will be back again as soon as possible.

Plussat: Everything outside! Beach, pool cliffs, view... dreammmm

Miinukset: Seriously dated rooms, interiors. View was nice though!

Plussat: The grounds of the property are gorgeous.There is a private beach and a gorgeous pool.The food is also very good. The garden rooms are sea facing and are a better value option. Breakfast buffet is huge and has many options.

Miinukset: The staff were mostly aloof and the service bordered on rude at times. The bus to town was a nice option but rarely were there “tickets” available,even though the bUs had open seats. There is no pizza in the restaurantes!!! No pizza?!? My picky son went hungry during dinner unless we went out to town. Taxis to and from the airport are more than 100 euro each way! A taxi to town is 15 euro each way! There are mosquitoes everywhere and there seemed to be no effort at abatement. The restaurant staff were not attentive and given this hotels 4 star rating this was disappointing.

Plussat: Private beach is an absolute highlight! Staff great especially the restaurant staff.

Plussat: Range of services and things to do

Miinukset: People reserving poolside chairs and being nowhere to be seen.

Plussat: The staff! Everyone (with one exception - see below) were super-friendly and service minded! Make sure you keep them happy!

Miinukset: More or less everything false in under this box. For an average of 300 euros per night I expect it to be good! Better than good - it should be wow! There is nothing wow with this place. The hotel is really old and needs to be redone (completely) both inside and outside. The lifts go to different floors (not all of them to the same floors - so take a chance!). They have a little beach - which we never got to use since they block it of completely for weddings. So, we've paid extra for the location obviously (I’ve been in the hotel industry for several years and know how it works) then when we arrive, we can't even use it because you’ve sold it again to a different group of people? Horrible. The room. Dirty, dirty, dirty. Boring. Old. Breakfast - looks nice has nothing. Ate toast and cherry tomatoes. For the kids there is granita (not my thing for breakfast though). Apart from that, local products that I assume to have on the breakfast you had to order and pay extra for. The hot food was not cooked well. Good coffee - that's about it. The only staff I would remove is the lifeguard at the pool - a rude **** that should not work with guests. I would never stay at this place again.

Plussat: Great breakfast and great location!

Plussat: Excellent views. Great pool. Reception staff were excellent and very friendly.

Miinukset: Restaurant staff and pool staff need training to know how to deliver good customer service. Was very poor on the whole. Breakfast was not what I would expect from a 5 star hotel, very bad actually.

Plussat: The views are great, pool excellent and breakfast luxurious.

Miinukset: Only negative was the bed and pillows were not comfortable at all and the ac was not on during May. I also briefly got stuck in the hotels elevator, which wasn’t fun.

Plussat: The location is great, close to the Taormina center with stunning views. We had some minor problems with our room (the safe did not work and toilet was leaking) and as a result we got an upgrade which was very nice. The staff was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. The cleaning service was very good (twice a day). It is not close to the beach and due to the location of this hotel, walking around can be challenging (lot of steep hills and stairs) but we did not mind. Over all a great experience and I can only recommend it.

Miinukset: The breakfast was very tasty but everyday exactly the same. I would prefer more variety. I did not like the coffee served during the breakfast, but I anyway prefer the tea…

Plussat: The location the swimming pool

Miinukset: The air conditioning was noisy in both the garden suite room and the double deluxe could not turn it off, there were weddings being held on the terrace and our room was right above the tables, it was nearly 2.00 am when they finally left. when you were by the pool trying to relax the staff started clearing the area and moving things about making lots of noise and at one point they even moved our daughters sun-bed while she was just over talking to us, the man was really arrogant quite rude in fact and shrugged his shoulders, as paying guests I believe that we are due some consideration as well, this property is not cheap, also it states that breakfast is included, then to our surprise it is a continental breakfast, if you wanted any other egg instead of scrambled you had to pay extra, I ordered poached egg on toast I had to send it back as it wasn’t cooked and the toast was two tiny circles, I found a lot of the staff just give the bare minimum when it comes to customer service, I don’t think this hotel should operate as a 5 star more a 4 star, will not be coming back, not the worst hotel we have stayed at and not the best the San Domenico was amazing unfortunately due to refurbishment we picked the San Pietro The rooms were well attended by house keeping and clean front desk were very helpful

Miinukset: restaurant was not at all what i expected after reading such wonderful reviews. hotel is rather dated

Plussat: Totally Professional and friendly staff. The meal selections and preparation were outstanding. Chef came out to introduce himself to us. Such a personal touch. It felt throughout our stay that our needs were anticipated and well met.

Miinukset: Shower didn’t work properly, too hot then cold too hot then cold.

Plussat: Clearly has been an outstanding hotel. Beautiful position but a hike up the hill to the town. Just felt a little tired and in need of a refurb.

Miinukset: Pillows could have been softer. Breakfast was good not amazing

Plussat: Everything was more than outstanding!!!!!

Miinukset: Mattress was not as outstanding as the he rest of the hotel !!!!

Plussat: The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. Staff were very helpful and went out of their way to make me happy.

Miinukset: It would have been great if there was a pool actually in the premises.

Plussat: What a great hotel. A touch of old world charm located a short walk from the Corso Umberto. Our room was great. Spotlessly clean with a nice balcony with views of the sea and Mt Etna in the distance. The free beach club & swimming pool is a short 15 min bus trip away. The shuttle runs 3 times a day. The facilities there are good also. The staff of the hotel are extremely pleasant and ever so helpful. Even the hotel owners 80-year-old Grandfather will help you on and off the bus to the beach club... Fantastic!! We would highly commend this hotel. Looking forward to our return!!

Plussat: Very dirty. It was so beyond disgusting.

Miinukset: Disgusting bathroom.

Plussat: Keskeinen sijainti, parveke, josta näkyi Etnalle ja merelle. Ystävällinen ja palvelualtis henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Pohjoismaalaiseen makuun liian makea aamiaistarjoittava

Plussat: Incredible view!! Super nice stuff! And it was a surprise that the hotel has a nice beach club for relax and sun bath

Plussat: great view of mount Etna from the restaurant friendly staff and very accommodating very close to restaurants

Plussat: The location was fantastic, so close to the centre of town and with amazing views of the sea. All of the staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming which was really nice. Also the pool area / beach club, whilst not directly at the hotel, was really well set up and a very enjoyable place to spend the day.

Miinukset: Some of the interior fittings are a little tired and could do with a spruce up (the shower for example) but everything was clean so it’s not a major complaint.

Plussat: Excellent service and location.

Miinukset: The restaurant was mediocre and breakfast ok. Eat elsewhere for dinner.

Plussat: Great staff. Great breakfast.

Miinukset: Rooms are dated and in need of updating.

Plussat: Very nice location - nice room and cosy hotel

Miinukset: AC wasn't working and there was no hot water- when we mentioned this to the staff at checkout (we were just trying to give them feedback), they got very defensive and started blaming us for not telling them ahead of time

Plussat: Location was brilliant... accessible to almost everything one would want to see in Taormina. Rafaela as well as the other receptionists were extremely helpful. Breakfast was good. Views were excellent and location was perfect!

Miinukset: Would really have liked a kettle and tea/coffee facilities in the room.

Plussat: Siisti tilava huone, huikea näkymä! Erinomainen sijainti.

Miinukset: Ehkä hieman kallis

Plussat: The location and the pool area

Miinukset: It is dated and the interiors , rooms, lobby rooms could be more charming. Breakfast needs improvement in the way it is displayed and should not be served in a closed room downstairs from the lobby !
