Palazzo Sortino-Trono

An excellent overall experience. From arrival - parking, to sharing of information, to location and more. One couldn't have asked for better. And the rooftop restaurant-bar had a superb view of Mount Etna. A definite recommendation for one and all...

This hotel was in the perfect location in Taormina and had beautiful views and pool! We got the Junior Suite and it was perfect for our honeymoon and also wasn't exorbitantly priced. The breakfast buffet was quite good too! There's no onsite gym so working out was a little bit of a problem, but walking up/down all the hills nearby helps with that. :) The one odd thing that happened is the front desk wasn't able to bring us a bottle opener for wine in our room, but that could have also been a miscommunication. It was hard to tell. Overall, it was an incredible place! I would go back in a heartbeat.

The hotel staff is very helpful, and the breakfast was good. While the rooms are clean, the air conditioning in some rooms worked less well than others (our family had two rooms), and there were problems with the plumbing. The shower in our room did not work well at all and water pressure was very low. The locks were hard to open on the doors and often required some struggle. The location was good near a public pebbly beach (and several lidos) and the Intercity Etna bus line to Taormina.
