Beautiful and authentic old hotel with the right maintainace. We paid for the seaview room and it was absolutely worth it, enjoyed the views from the terrace (stunning). Breakfast was good for the hotel level and it was served in a beautiful dining room with an adjhacent terrace. Great location with private parking walking distance from everything in Taormina.

Overall it was expensive, however Taormina overall is overpriced so it was cheaper than other options that I am sure are not as good.

The hotel was in such a beautiful location- it’s not in the town centre but it is around 15 mins walk. However, because of this it has the most INCREDIBLE views. The breakfast was amazing, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The balcony was lovely and I was able to lie in the sun whilst my partner was busy

It was quite near a wedding venue which meant there was a fair amount of noise at night - this was generally cancelled out with ear plugs but it was still quite noticeable. The room was a lot smaller than it looked on the photos, not a lot of cupboard space etc But for the price of Taormina I feel it was good value for money overall

The staff at this hotel made the stay so wonderful. From the team at the front desk through to Sebastiano and Gianluca in the bar/breakfast area - you could not ask for kinder and nicer people! They always had time for you and made you feel welcome. The room was comfortable and had a lovely balcony with stunning views. The breakfast was unexpected and absolutely amazing. The easy trips to La Dolce Vita Lido were also great. It was a short walk to the centro.

I would probably prefer another room (we were in room 3) next stay so we are not as close to the hotel reception entrance. The shower was a little small but we managed. The beds are probably due to be replaced soon but were still ok.

This hotel has beautiful gardens with amazing views to enjoy. The interior of the hotel in the common areas is stunning too. It seems like all of the rooms have either a private terrace or balcony. The staff are very friendly and helped us with any questions and also to organise excursions. A delicious breakfast is provided every day. You can walk easily into the city centre (about 10 minutes) but it is up a few steps.

The bedroom itself was quite basic but it didn’t bother us too much as we were only sleeping there and the rest of the hotel made up for it.

The deck space with the table chairs and lounge chairs was absolutely fabulous way to start and end our day. Breakfast was very good and the over all historic feel and charm was wonderful.

This was our first time to Taormina and we loved our visit. We needed a rental car to reach the property but then walking was the best way around yet we had to walk alongside of the busy fast traffic on the narrow curving hillside roads. I believe that there was a beach shuttle but a shuttle to the center for evening dinner hours would have been very helpful.

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! The breakfast terrace was an absolute highlight, offering an amazing view of the sea that made every morning feel special. The quality and variety of the breakfast food were truly out of this world — something for every taste and all freshly prepared. All the staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help us with anything we needed, which made us feel really welcome throughout our visit. Our room was cleaned daily to a high standard, which we really appreciated. The overall style of the hotel was a bit quirky but in a very charming and refreshing way, adding a unique character to our stay. We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable and warm experience!

The third bed was a bit hard and uncomfortable.

The hotel was beautiful and the staff was kind and accommodating. Our room was clean and lovely, and we had a deck overlooking the sea in the distance. The breakfast was exceptional, and we enjoyed every delicious treat prepared for us. Unfortunately we were in Taormina for only one night, and the weather began to storm as we left for our excursion. We ended up getting drenched, and as we got close to our excursion, we gave up and went back to the hotel. It was a bummer but 100%, it had nothing to do with the hotel. Also. I should mention that the ability to park our car was a huge plus. If we go to Taormina again we will stay at Bel Soggiorno. Grazie.

Really nothing. It might have been nice to have some restaurants or food take away places in the area because we were hindered by the rain.

From the moment we arrived, everything about Hotel Bel Soggiorno felt right. The staff were friendly and professional, the hotel was spotlessly clean and comfortable, and the views were simply breathtaking. Breakfast was excellent, and the overall atmosphere made us genuinely glad we had chosen to stay here. A thoughtful touch—we left early on checkout and the kitchen prepared a little takeaway bag for the road. We also appreciated the old-school charm of leaving the key at the front desk, which meant no need to carry it around. One of our favourite moments was reading on our private terrace, shaded by an umbrella and soaking in the warm glow of the Sicilian sun. Just a beautiful, feel-good stay from start to finish.

Had no hot water on the first night of our stay, but it was fixed the next day

Beautiful hotel. Wonderful view from the lounge and balcony over the sea and you can see Mt Etna to the south. Staff were excellent. The breakfast was really good- they even had Tiramisu and other sweets. The car park is in the driveway and the entrance is tight- it would be better to have a smaller size car. It is about a 10 min walk up hill to the area where there are some nice restaurants- especially one that overlooks Naxos which was excellent. It is about a 20 minute walk to the Theatre and the main historic part of town which is very crowded.. it is about 15 minutes downhill to get to the beach which is a pebbly beach. Steep walk back or you can take the gondola to come back. Room was a reasonable size. Shower/Bath. Taormina is a beautiful town to visit.

Nothing

We LOVED this absolutely gorgeous hotel in Taormina! And I mean gorgeous! The rooms were great and had doors that opened onto a beautiful terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, with table/chairs/loungers for each room. Very well-tended gardens all around. The interiors were decorated in "old" Italian style, lots of character. There is a lounge for drinks with high ceilings and Italian furniture, beautifully decorated. And I can't say enough about the buffet breakfast. Absolutely fantastic with so much choice, everything excellent. Cheese, salads, juices, baked goods, sweets, eggs, hot dishes, even had tiramisu! Every morning we were there (3), the breakfast offerings were slightly different which was also great. And of course, when you sit down someone comes to get your cappuccino order right away! The breakfast room had soaring ceilings and huge windows, and an adjoining sunny terrace where we ate, all with an uninterrupted view to the sea. The hotel (and all of Taormina) is built on a steep hillside, so the roads are pretty windy and steep. Bel Soggiorno is not quite in Taormina proper (which is a good thing because it can be packed with people), but it is only a short staircase up to the main part of town. You really can't get more picturesque than this place! I'd recommend staying at this well-tended hotel!

It was all good!
