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 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.

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!

We loved our stay at this exceptional hotel. It is a beautiful characterful building, with stunning views from all the rooms, set in colourful parklike grounds. We had a beautiful balcony overlooking the garden and sea. The long hallway was full of wonderful and interesting artwork on the walls with an amazing arched window framing Mt Etna in the distance. The breakfasts were amazing and dining room position was wonderful. Great quiet location yet very close to the centre of Taormina walking through the park and along charming lanes, also a great walk down to the beach nearby. The staff were lovely. I would most definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting this gorgeous town.

We liked everything about our 3 night stay. The hotel itself is well presented and felt very Sicilian with its style and decor. The staff could not do enough for you particularly at breakfast time which was a highlight because the food was great and there was nothing lovelier than the views whilst eating your breakfast. Our room looked out onto the garden and sea, amazing views of Etna. Room was clean and beds were comfy. Hotel is close to bus stop up the road somewhat and the bus station is a couple minutes further on. Walk into town is about 10 minutes, google maps will take you a quicker way but the staff tell you another way which I think because it’s a safer route. The quicker route takes you along the road and there is no pedestrian path, but we found it ok. We will definitely stay here again!

Not really a dislike but we would have found it helpful to have had the option to eat dinner at the hotel and not out each night. They’d do well having a buffet style dinner like they do breakfast
