It was breathtakingly great! Delicious breakfast, gorgeous location and a dreamlike service! The staff is just amazing, extremely helpful and friendly, also with our visits to Etna, the beaches and airport-taxi. The daily visit to turtles and fish in the garden-pond was joyous! We had an excellent stay at our Garden Villa.

Out of the hotel’s power, the mosquitos all over town are an annoying nuisance. Luckily the hotel provides solutions for the inside areas.

One of the best staff teams we have ever experienced. They are caring, organised, polite, helpful and offered an incredible service. Paired with the PERFECT location, offering private garden access to the main town just steps away, the stunning views and various beach clubs at your disposal that offer private transfers to and from the hotel, the stay went above and beyond what we could have expected. We went in not too sure about the breakfast but decided to give it a try and ended up getting it every morning of our stay! The granita sorbet was one of my favourites. The close proximity to the town also means a very short distance to the cable cart that gave a seamless form of transport down to the beaches and boat dock. A special thank you to the reception staff that were attentive to our needs including Simona, Marco, Elena, Claudia, Mariangela and Gaida as well as the breakfast team Luca, Evegniya and Rosita.

Leaving! We wished we would have booked a longer stay

View of the sea, & Mount Etna. Location near main street of Taormina. Breakfast on terrace overlooking the sea. Lovely garden at the rear. Valet parking facility as parking in Taormina is impossible. Large modern bathroom

The beds were quite hard and uncomfortable.

No doubt this hotel has a high historic value ad the rooms have their special charm. But they are simple and - although super clean and always updated, they are a bit out of date. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. If you want a super central location, even with small children, then this is a good choice.

Although only nine breakfast tables were occupied, and there were 3 waiters, we waited for a full 30 minutes to receive a cup of coffee. This can be done better. The room we booked had sample pictures of room number 15 online, a corner room with full see view and city view, we had room 14 with partial sea/city and otherwise garden view, we were a bit disappointed. Above us, we had a very noisy family and the old house seems to have little insulation against noisy neighbors.

The room had a nice view of the coast and the ocean, with a little but practical terrace. It was clean and comfortable with a good bathroom. The air conditioning worked well despite the high temperatures we experienced. The location was amazing, just a 1-minute walk from the main pedestrian street. It felt safe to walk around both day and night. The staff was very kind and professional. My phone stopped working and they did everything to help me get a new one (found the shop, contacted the shop so someone was waiting for us, scheduled the taxi to take us there and bring us back, etc). They also gave us some good recommendations about what to do and helped with scheduling. The parking was easy and convenient, as the staff took care of everything related to it. The hotel has a big terrace with a view of the coast and the breakfast is served there. The experience is incredible. You can also have some cocktails there at night.

When you are leaving and they take you to your car, you must walk down the street with your bags. They give you the car in the middle of the street, so you don't have time to calmly organize everything before starting to drive, because there are other cars lined up behind you.

The staff at the hotel were fantastic, they were very friendly, helpful and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and always helped with a smile on their face. The hotel location is very central and easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and bars and the amphitheatre, the cable car to the beach and the bus terminal. The hotel has lots of charm and character and some lovely outside areas to sit, eat and drink. The hotel gardens are beautifully kept and a delight to walk through with a handy short cut to some of the bars, cafes and restaurants. We stayed in room 5 on the first floor which is a spacious corner room with duel aspect and spectacular views including the sea, beach and Mount Etna. Just for information........ we decided to take the bus from the airport to the hotel but after waiting for about an hour we decided to get a taxi instead. it cost nearly double of what we would have paid had we pre booked a car transfer prior to arriving in Sicily. This was due to the road works and traffic congestion and the time it took. So a tip would definitely be if you re planing to use a taxi/car for transfer to your hotel make sure you pre book as it s much cheaper!

Nothing, it was perfect and we would definitely stay again

Breakfast was satisfactory. A little unclear that you could have a continental breakfast and add extras, realised after a few days. The hotel was fantastic, highly maintained and had fantastic views of the sea, town and Mount Etna. Our bedroom and veranda were spacious and very clean with all the little extras. ALL the staff were very friendly, efficient and professional- we were looked after very well. THANK YOU to all the staff. We would highly recommend a stay at Hotel Schuler!

A little unclear on the breakfast arrangement (see above). Perhaps it could be explained a little more ant the beginning. Apart from that there was nothing else we didn’t like.

The hotel is absolutely beautiful and the staff are so so so friendly. It was my friend's birthday and the staff went above and beyond to help arrange flowers and a cake prior to our arrival. The hotel had a lovely garden with a back exit which makes walking to heart of everything extremely quick and easy. The view from our balcony was breathtaking and felt like a postcard. We chose not to have breakfast at the hotel as we were only there for one night but it looked amazing and the location of the hotel meant that we were able to walk to most restaurants and places to eat within 5 minutes.

The room was a little bit smaller than expected but was still very comfortable and clean. Due to some delays with trains we ended up arriving later than planned so we got there in the dark. The hotel's entrance is down a main road without a pavement and was a bit busy at that time. However, once we were checked in we were able to use the back exit which was great.

First of all, excellent location. A few steps away from the Main Street and main attractions of Taormina. Second of all, the room was amazing, with an amazing view, clean, even the small detail of the light up bathroom window was on point to the whole style of a well kept villa in a modern customized way, respecting all its glory and beauty of the past days. A beautiful garden and a beautiful terrazza for breakfast. The breakfast even though it was charged extra, everything was fresh and there were many options. Also, with extra charge was the private parking, but we arrived with the car directly to the hotel, and we were feeling safe as to where we were leaving our car. The stuff was also very helpful, with everything about the hotel but also with restaurant recommendations and general information about Taormina. Last but definitely not least, our favourite member of the stuff was Marco. Always with the smile, he was the one to welcome us and to say goodbye to us, to help us carry our luggage in and out of the hotel, and he is also a barman, a waiter and always around to help. He reminded it is of the lobby boy from the movie “The Grand Budapest Hotel” and we mean it in the most respectful way possible, the one that anticipated the client’s needs. Thank you for the experience.

The hotel is a beautiful older style building - had an interesting history. The location, the view and gardens were incredible. The room was small but had everything required for a comfortable stay. It was a short walk to restaurants and sights. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel for these facets.

The staff that parked our car and served wine were lovely which unfortunately lacked with front of house. I felt I was not important enough and my presence and questions were irritating - I was a little shocked and hurt at the response to one query. It did change on check out when a new staff member was attentive and friendly.
