The location is excellent, a few minutes walk to the entrance to Taormina, just down from the funicular which takes you to the beach and just up from the central bus station. I was there for 2 1/2 weeks and it was definitely a home away from home. They gave me a room with a huge terrace, sun beds and a table. There was also a lovely garden, where breakfast and happy hour were. The breakfast was delicious! Freshly cooked Mediterranean vegetables, cheeses, meats, bread and the usual cereals. The highlight was the home-made cannoli.

There was nothing I didn’t like about the property

We stayed two years ago at this charming hotel and loved it so much we returned with our family this time!. It oozes Italian charm - inside and out and the outside courtyard garden is a heavenly escape from the crowds in the town. Its located a 5 min walk from the Corso Umberto - which was perfect. It is also in the same street that has the bus terminal and the cable car down to the beach area - very convenient. There are also plenty of fabulous restaurants in the street if you don't wish to battle the crowds in the town for dinner. The staff were very obliging organising, drivers, laundry or giving advice for activities. The breakfast was a buffet of eggs, toast, continental foods, cakes and cereal and could be eaten in the lovely courtyard or on the terrace overlooking the beautiful beach view. We highly recommend this hotel and is great value for money!

Having stayed two years ago, I noticed that the hotel appeared a little more "tired' than last time - this was only in regards to the courtyard and external parts of the building.

This is a very beautiful and traditional hotel. The staff is super friendly, they will make your day! Breakfast is good, they will provide you with everything you need; good coffee and a friendly smile. The beds were really nice and comfy. The garden and terrace is really nice and pretty, but we had rain when we were there (early season), so we couldn't use it. They keep the room and bathroom super, super clean. If you have the chance, book this cosy hotel.

It's a bit noisy, inside and outside. It is a beautiful old building, we loved it, but this means you hear things. For us it was doable and no problem.

We loved our stay here. The room was good, great view and cleaning was very efficient. The location is excellent - very close to the centre but two minutes walk away, so nice to be away from the busyness. Also very good location for the cable car. Breakfast was homemade and delicious. One day we made use of the partner private beaches, which included transfer from the hotel, and we’d highly recommend

It was all really good. Only thing we missed was an iron in the room

Fantastic stay at La Pensione Svizzera! Location is incredible, staff very friendly and facilities were great. The breakfast is amazing, a lot of local, home cooked produce and pastries, eggs etc to set you up for the day! Rooms are specious and we were lucky enough to get a large balcony which came in really handy.

The internals are loud, you can hear a lot of door slamming, cleaners etc from early in the day. I would certainly recommend bringing ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper or want to have a lie in!

This is a lovely hotel, well placed for the Taormina town centre but just far away to be quiet. Very good service at breakfast and the best of the four hotels we stayed at in Sicily. What really stood out was the effort the two lovely receptionists put in to organising an Etna trip for us and arrangement a complicated string of connections for get us to Lipari the same day. This involved liaising with the tour company, a taxi driver and even loading our bags into the taxi while we were on our excursion. Thanks to them, everything went well and we arrived in Lipari in time for supper! A lovely hotel and first rate staff, I would recommend to anyone and I am sure we will stay here again.

Nothing.

From the beginning, the receptionist could not do enough for us. She was friendly, gave us prosecco on arrival and had our room ready early. The view from breakfast and our balcony is incredible - you can see all the way to the sea and Isola Bella. The hotel is also right around the corner from the main street of Taormina but away from the hustle and bustle so is very quiet at night. Breakfast was perfect with lots of options. The staff are always available if you want a drink - we highly recommend you have a few before dinner in the beautiful courtyard. Our room was stunning, and although it says partial views, you can see stunning coastline for miles. They had a relationship with a car park just down the road where you can park for 25 euros a day safely and securely.

Nothing.

Hotel was small and personal. Staff were excellent and the two ladies on reception were brilliant. They were able to answer all our questions, book excursions, provide restaurant recommendations and give us easy directions. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is well located, just a couple of minutes walk from the bus station, cable car to the beach, and the towns many bars and restaurants. It was nice to come home everyday and have a few drinks in the courtyard or overlooking the sea before getting ready to go out for the evening.

Nothing it was perfect!

This is such a lovely hotel with sweeping, uninterrupted views over the sea. I had the junior suite and it was enormous and very comfortable. The staff were so warm and welcoming. The location is great, it’s only a couple of mins walk to the top of the cable car that takes you down to the beach and a little further along the same road is entrance to the old town where you’ll find an abundance of restaurants, cafes, shops, etc. Close enough for everything but far enough away to be out of the main hustle and bustle and enjoy the quietness.

Lovely small pension just few minutes from Taormina’s old center & upper station of chair lift which will get you down to the beach within few moments. Personel in this place is lovely as well and I also appreciated great variety of breakfast buffet, possibility to eat it outside in a very nice garden terrace and complimentary prossecco. Bed was also good and many pillow options available.

First room we got was room on the ground floor with windows facing the main road. Definitely not suitable for light sleepers as the traffic was loud. Fortunately they had another room available for next night and we were moved to the 4th floor and then it was ok! Im very glad we could have moved. So try to ask for other room than ground floor if you are a light sleeper or pay more for the room with balcony/view.
