Hotels in Sicily

I am looking for hotels in Sciliy in the following cities: Taormina, Agrigento, and Palermo. Between $125-$200, small with character, with views of the water. Any memorable trip comments would be appreciated

We stayed at the Villa San Michel in Taormina--- the room was nothing to write home about but was clean and adequate ----the terrace was GREAT. Very large and right over the water. Would fit in your price range and also had a very good location.

Good evening, Sandie Have not been to Sicily for some years, however have always used the Jolly Hotel chain there because they have good dining rooms and hotels are the same in quality and etc.... Arigento- Jolly Hotel Dei Templi Taormina - Jolly Hotel Diodoro Palermo-Jolly Hotel Foro Italico The would be running about 150USD for a double per nite with breakfast... Taormina However here are a couple of more suggestions, the Villa San Michele in Taormina is centrally located an now about 145000ITL for a double with break- fast. Also many years ago stayed at the Vello d'oro, Via Fazzello 2, again centrally located and hotel is build on a number of different levels,lower exit to the Pza April and the Corso Umberto. The D'Oro is a three star hotel with 59 rooms..Rates change depending time of year.,Some good ristorantes around... Agrigento-in surfing came up with two interesting ones. Collverde Park, Passeggiata Archeologica is a three star hotel with 48 rooms, check it out on www.oasi.net/hotcolle.. the Paradello Mare, Via De Chjirico,17, Lido San Leone about 7 KIM east of Agrigento is a three star with 45 rooms Palermo Here I would only recommend the Hotel Jolly, the front rooms have an excellant view because it is built overlooking the coast, and a good price. Have not stayed any any of the other hotels other than the Jollys and the d'Oro.

Sandie, In Taormina, Hotel Belvedere is lovely and romantic. Gorgeous gardens spilling down to a swimming pool with a palm tree in the middle, spectacular views. Ask for a room with balcony and seaview. E-mail is [email protected] or fax at 011 39 0942 625830. In Agrigento, the Villa Athena is the choice -- ask for a room with balcony that overlooks the ruins(they are lighted at night). There is a beautiful pool in a jasmine-scented garden, and you can walk across the olive groves to do a self-conducted tour of all the antiquities. Cannot really help you with Palermo, as we stay with relatives when we are in western Sicily, but I pulled some info off the internet one night about a place called Palazzo Conte Federico. It looks like sheer grandeur for $250/night. Go to initaly.com and look under historic residences. Have to book through them. Buon Viaggio.
