Hotel in Taormina
 

Hello Fodorites,

My husband and I will be flying out of Catania back to the US next May and although it will be early back to the airport we may just decide to stay in Taormina for our last day and night. Do you have any hotel suggestions please?

I guess our budget is between 250 and 350 US dollars.

Thanks very much.

Mikster, i can recommend the Villa Carlotta. The hospitality was exceptional, and it was my husband’s favorite of our hotels in Sicily. From my 2010 trip report:

The Villa Carlotta (€299/room/night for a deluxe double with sea view) was tasteful, well-appointed, and just felt very comfortable. The small pool and garden added to the sense of ease. When we were shown to our rooms, we learned that the hotel had thoughtfully upgraded our sons' room at no extra charge so that they could be next to us. Off to a good start here. Breakfast, served until 10:30 a.m., set the standard for the rest of the trip—separate tables for cheeses, cured meats, dolci, scrambled eggs and bacon, cooked dishes that included eggplant and peppers, cereals, fresh juices, yogurt—and more. The wait staff were particularly warm and helpful. The weather was, we were told, uncharacteristically humid and hazy, and everyone apologized that our view of Etna from the breakfast terrace was not crystal clear. We thought the weather in Taormina was warm and a bit humid but still comfortable. The hotel was about a 10-minute walk from the Corso Umberto in the center of Taormina.

I would stay close to the bus terminal, Hotel Miramare or so

Not seeing my reply on here and not sure why but now I am thinking of staying in Catania to avoid the stress.....thank you kja for that and also bon voyage...the hotel sounds wonderful but we do have a 9 AM flight so I think i'm being delusional about staying in Taormina that night. Maybe next trip to Sicily. Any hotel recommendations for Catania? Thank you.
