These Apartments are immaculate and in an excellent and convenient location. We upgraded to an apartment with a view of the town and sea which was a great sun trap to enjoy breakfast!
No need to take anything with you as all basics are provided eg towels, hairdryer, toiletries, tea towels etc.
Valet parking available at extra charge - a must if you have a car as parking spaces few and far between. Parking is off site so 10 mins notice required to retrieve vehicle.
Can't wait to return-...

We stayed for one night, but would have liked to have stayed longer. Giuseppe is an excellent host and we had the best breakfast of our visit to Sicily. The room was generously proportioned with an excellent bathroom, and opened out onto the courtyard. The location is excellent and there are good restaurants close by.

We loved our stay at Donna Carmela, beautiful boutique hotel, no expense has been spared in making it as nice as possible. Staff were charming, and the off season prices were very reasonable. That part of Sicily is very built up but the hotel is an oasis of peace.

Room was as expected, bed was comfortable as you would expect from a 5-star hotel. Bathroom was large as well and had the hotel branded goods. For the breakfast area, there was an option to sit outside, which was pleasant. Plenty of options as well and the staff where ready at hand to address any requests.
We used Catania as base to explore the surrounding sites, but the city itself was larger than I thought and had some interesting things to see. The cathedral and main shopping street are...

The hotel is small but well run. Very friendly staff and it is right in the middle of the town. Very convenient. We used their garage. Lovely fun staff running breakfast and if having a cooked breakfast it turned up almost immediately. It does not feel like the normal tourist hotel. Loved it

Our stay was fabulous with nothing to fault it. Our host was looking out for us when we arrived, helped with parking and very welcoming. The apartment, room, and terrace were lovely with great attention to detail. Great breakfast. The accommodation was only minutes away from the duomo but also situated in a small very pretty square.

Gorgeous boutique property in a fabulous location to explore Taormina. The valet parking was super helpful. Lovely views of Mt Etna from the terrace. The bar was an oasis with great cocktails. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed for one night and it’s the most perfect location if you don’t have a long time in Taormina. The check in was very efficient and they called us beforehand to make sure our driver knew directions - when we arrived there was someone waiting for us before the road to the hotel (as its pedestrian only) they took our luggage and it was a premium service. Antonio and Salvatore checked us in and Antonio gave us a wonderful tour of the building and he was so friendly Abdulla passionate about...

This hotel is a class act. Beautifully appointed, every detail taken care of, lovely linen, furniture and decoration. Walking distance into Central Taormina and all its restaurants. Close to the biological gardens. Lovely helpful staff. Breakfast in the rooftop restaurant is easily the best hotel breakfast I have had since Chewton Glen in the UK! Highly recommended.

The Grand Hotel Timeo is a beautiful place to stay, the staff are charming and attentive, the service is excellent and the position in Taormina very well placed for excellent views across the bay and towards Etna.

Excellent throughout. Close enough to enjoy the city center (15mins by car) and beach (20mins by car), without getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of crowds.
Exceptional staff, both caring and informative.

Lovely little hotel! Great staff—special mention goes to Giuseppe in the bar. The hotel is in the perfect location for a Taormina stay: not right in the centre but close enough to get there with a five minute walk. The rooms are lovely (well, ours was)! Also the breakfasts are to die for; such a wide selection to cater for every taste. I don’t really have any negatives that I can think of.
