If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Taormina





Perched on cliffs above the Ionian Sea, Taormina’s Small Luxury Hotels blend intimate, design-forward rooms with personalized service, rooftop terraces and authentic Sicilian cuisine—seek properties with sea-view balconies or private gardens and ask the concierge to arrange sunset boat trips to Isola Bella or guided hikes and wine tastings on Mount Etna. For the best experience, book well in advance for summer festivals but consider spring or autumn for a quieter, more curated stay when private dinners, cellar tours and bespoke cultural excursions are easier to secure.
