The hotel was fantastic. The staff were so kind and helpful - they helped us with our luggage, booking restaurants, and booking a day trip to the Etna Wineries. The facilities were great, and the snack bar at the poolside was brilliant. The views were stunning, including the view of Mount Etna and all the surrounding landscape. The hotel is quite high up the cliff, and so walking back uphill from Taormina was a bit tough in the heat, but there was a bus stop right outside the hotel which ran regularly between Taormina and Castelmola and plenty of taxis in the town centre.

The pool was wonderful and the free breakfast was really good.

Way too many stairs to climb, not only to walk to and from the centro but to get to your room, breakfast and the pool as well. There should be a lift, shuttle service and more notification on booking.com about this. It cost 20 euros to take a cab home from dinner every night because the buses stop running at 7:30. The buses only run every 90 minutes during the day. I felt like a prisoner and I’m in good shape. I’m 64 but run half marathons and I found the stairs way too much!

A lovely little hotel with an amazing view. The staff were all very helpful (thank you) and we enjoyed the excellent breakfast. The pool area was great for relaxing, with comfortable sun loungers. Lovely pool area. Rooms are varied and well appointed.

Be prepared for the 15 min walk down vertical steps to the town. Beware long gaps in the bus schedule so you have to time it right if you can’t face the walk back up in the dark as taxis are not great value! You get used to the walk and the view is totally worth it! Perhaps the poolside snack bar or upper terrace could be run as a bar for a couple of hours in the early evening?

The views are amazing, the staff as well, great breakfast. Half way between Taormina and Castelmola, quiet and private. The pool is great addition. If you figure out the shortcuts, you can be at the duomo in 10 minutes. I loved walking there.

I paid 100 Euros for parking (20/day). That made me sad when I figured out that there is plenty of street parking within 800 m radius especially towards Castelomola. This info was nowhere to find on any website. Just unpack at the villa and drive around and you will find parking, if you are lucky there is street parking right across the hotel.

Amazing hotel. Lovely relaxing swimming pool & a nice continental breakfast served each morning. Parking was easy to organise with the hotel and efficiently managed. The hotel is really peaceful, relaxing and gets the sun all day. You also have amazing views of mount etna. Would highly recommend this hotel to stay for a trip to Taormina. Staff were great as well, friendly and couldn't help enough!

The hotel is up a steep hill so it had amazing views over Taormina and we knew this when booking it but it's something to keep in mind. It's about a 20 minute walk into town. This is fine when down but can be more challenging when back up, especially in the heat! Taxi is €20 from town to the hotel in the day (5 minutes) but can go above +€50 at night time. So I'd say this is just something to keep in mind. We personally liked escaping town to the relaxing hotel!

The views from the terrace of our suite took my breath away. The rooms are modern, comfortable and clean. The pool area is absolutely stunning. The staff, especially Loris, are friendly, helpful, accommodating and speak excellent English. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and tasty and when I told them my daughter had celiac they baked special gluten free breakfast cakes for her that were delicious. There is a bus that goes into the center of town that stops directly across from the gate of Villa le Terrazze which is convenient if you don’t want to walk down the steep hills and stairs. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to going back again.

It wasn’t a problem for us but there is no elevator and the hotel is on many levels with lots of stairs so it would be hard if you had problems with mobility.

I recently stayed at Villa Le Terrazze Charming Rooms with my partner for a mini break. I cannot rate the hotel highly enough- the communication from the hotel was excellent from the moment we booked, and every member of staff we met was friendly, helpful and check-in was quick and easy. It's in a great location- an hour's drive from Catania airport, 10 minutes from Taormina, and a 15/20 minute walk from Taormina Castle and Chiesa Madonna della Rocca. The hotel is spread out over several floors, and while there's no lift we were offered help several times to carry bags to our room. When we were shown to our room, we were given a quick tour of the pool, sun terrace, and where breakfast would be served. We were also given directions of the short cut to walk into Taormina itself (roughly 10 minute walk away via some steps). The hotel Is absolutely stunning. Everywhere is impeccably clean, recently renovated and everywhere you look were well cared for flowers and plants in terracotta pots, adding charm to what is an already stunning location. Our room was modern, had a huge comfortable bed, a charming balcony with an amazing view of Etna, complimentary water, air conditioning and was perfectly set up for anyone with reduced mobility (grab rails, step-free access shower, adjustable bathroom mirror etc). There were also Ortigia toiletries along with the complementary toothbrushes/vanity set etc. Everything has just been really well thought through. Breakfast is served from 8-10am, and a snack bar from 12-3pm. We didn't use the snack bar, but breakfast had a great continental selection, with several kinds of tea, alternative milks and fresh coffee. The team who run the restaurant are great, very friendly and couldn't do more to help. I had my birthday while I was away, and they made a cake for me on the day, which was absolutely delicious and very thoughtful (pic included).

There is nothing that could improve

Loved the location as the views from the hotel were fab. It is a long walk up from the centre but we felt it was worth it being away from the busyness of the town. Breakfast and lunch was great. Lovely pool area although small so you may struggle to get a lounger when busy - it was Ok when we went in June.

Our room was huge and lovely but needs a little bit of tlc - paint was coming off the wall behind the curtains. Would have been nice to have had free water provided every day like other hotels did in Sicily especially as hotel was not cheap.

We stayed here late October and LOVED our stay! Firstly the view - WOW! The breakfast was great, the bed was comfy, the staff were lovely and accommodating. It was great to cool down in the pool on a hot day, especially if you take the stairs back up to the villa from town like we did. The view of Mt Etna when the clouds move away is stunning!

Nothing!! Everything was great

The room and terrace were fabulous! Breakfast was great and staff were very attentive. We loved the pool area and the sun loungers were very comfortable.

The air conditioning in the room beeped - even during the night - when it turned on and off. It also had a light that was quite bright if you're a light sleeper! Not the end of the world but perhaps this can be addressed? There also weren't any hooks for towels and only one mirror in the bathroom. Again, not big issues but basic functionality.
