The hotel has a terrace with a wonderful view, the breakfast was exceptional, the staff is very welcoming and kind and the room was very clean. The problem with the parking was quickly solved at the hotel reception, we paid and the car was brought to us when we needed it, announcing in advance with 10-15 minutes before, for the town we did not need a car anyway, being not even 5 minutes from the center, and the beach can be easily reached with the cable car.

As you admire crystal-clear turquoise seas from a Taormina piazza swathed in vibrant pink blossom, you could be forgiven for thinking that you were in paradise. The stunning location of this picturesque town is its crowning glory.
However, it’s not its only glory. Surrounded by trees just below the main town, the Greek Theatre is also a triumph. Its largely intact seating offers wonderful views across the stage towards Mount Etna fuming away in the distance. Spine-tingling summer performances are still held here, and several of the town’s bars also offer live music.
Corso Umberto I runs through the heart of Taormina, from Piazza Corvaja to the 13th-century cathedral, and houses many shops and cafés. Midway along is Piazza IX Aprile, whose clock tower and church are overlooked by a rocky hill topped with a castle.
A cable car runs from the town down to the beautiful Taormina beaches (where the train station is also found). At the centre of the W-shaped bay is little Isola Bella, an island nature reserve. To the south-west is the long stretch of sand at Giardini-Naxos, and north is the bay by Mazzaró.
As you would expect of Sicily’s most beautiful resort, there is no shortage of Taormina accommodation on Booking.com, including 5-star hotels on the beach, town centre apartments and luxury B&Bs.

Taormina is a 'must see' destination and has so much to offer. We visited Savoca nearby whilst staying in Taormina which was a real treat. We also had an excellent dinner one night in Giardini Naxos and were serenaded by a folk group who made the night magical. We will definitely be returning.

A marvellous location and unique natural beauty have earned this city the nickname of Pearl of the Ionian Sea. The distinctive city of Taormina in eastern Sicily is perched on a rock above sea level, with awe-inspiring views over Mount Etna and the coastline.
Like many other tourism hotspots, you have to plan carefully to avoid tourist traps and not get stuck in huge crowds.

Loved the location, lots to explore on foot with the Corso Umberto for shopping and eating, the Greek Theatre and the Botanical gardens for a quiet place to reflect and enjoy the views, and a play area for the children.
The cable car is worth using to access the beaches which again are well serviced with food, drink and toilet facilities.
Fabulous food, Mount Etna on your doorstep and great shopping.

We were unlucky with the weather so didn’t do as much as we would have liked . You’ve got to be aware the hotel is a long way away from centre so might not suit everyone. Good shuttle service though and good view from hotel. Taormina is very crowded

Great place to visit.
Great place to visit. Beautiful beach, nice restavrants and historical center. A lot of small turistic shops.
The parking is outside the town, but you have free bus. We used Lumbi parking.
It is worthed to stay there at leat 2 days.
From the wonderfully warm hosting of the staff and the chef to the lovely quiet garden setting, we absolutely loved our stay. We had such a lovely time and learned so much about the sicilian culture and food, we will be back no doubt! Grazie mille to our wonderful hosts! This is the hotel's claim "The Taormina Garden Hotel is a small family hotel where the Guest is a member of the family", that fits perfectly! Don't miss the restaurant and Angelo and Gianluca's cooking!
Peaceful hotel with great staff. Good breakfast choices. Pool was great and drinks were available.
Well located for station. There was a bus stop for travel into Taormina Town. There is also a path at the back of the hotel but this requires good shoes and is quite steep in places. We were fine despite being in out late sixties! Takes about 20 minutes but gets you right into the centre. Coming down in the dark a bit trickier but torch on phone helped.
Giuseppe was absolutely fantastic. He made an intentional effort every day to ensure that our experience in Taormina was perfect. What I admire most about him, is the pride he takes in his family business.
The rooms were exceptionally clean, the staff was extremely friendly and the breakfast was outstanding! Not to mention the location of the hotel is perfect.
We could not recommend this hotel enough!
The hotel is located just a few minutes away from Corso Umberto, the heart of Taormina, where you will find dozens of shops and restaurants. It was very clean and although the room was not very big, it had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional. The rooftop is spectacular. It is an expensive hotel but it is totally worth it.
Best stay in our travelling history.
Attention to details was overwhelming from design to spotlless cleaning. Hotel offers lots of chill spaces, a good cocktail bar, nice pool.
Location is very close to all Taormina important things to do and see, 100m from the cable car that goes down to the beach area.
A real 5* !
This boutique hotel is located a short 2 minute walk from the main street of Taormina with great views of the bay. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and tastefully furnished and the service was impeccable. Every breakfast we had during our 3 week visit to Sicily paled into insignificance after our stay here!
The location couldn't be better. Right in the centre of Taormina. Parking was available for our motorbike. The room was beautifully decorated as is the hotel. Breakfast was full on and served in a sunny and very pleasant room. Everything was extremely clean and the staff were wonderful.
The hotel is very well located, just a five minutes’ walk to the many shops and restaurants of Taormina. You are without doubt here in one of the most beautiful spots of Sicily.
And the view from the room is magnificent: blue skies, the Mediterranean Sea and the mount Etna. Spectacular.
Fantastic boutique hotel in Taormina. We arrived during a heavy storm and the staff went out of their way to set us up for the night. Beautiful room on a high cliff overlooking Taormina. Great Breakfast. Will happily stay in this hotel if we ever find ourselves in Taormina again.
The hotel staff were very welcoming! We had a great chat with Angelo and a lovely time at the Garden hotel in general! Great breakfast! There was a private access to a beach and it was super close to Isola Bella as well. Taormina centre is a short bus ride away or a 30min walk.
Great value hotel located in beautiful Taormina. Fantastic views of Taormina, Mount Etna, and the lovely coastline of Giardini-Naxos from the breakfast dining area and from our private terrace. Beautiful gardens and views.
We love everything about this hotel. Every time we come to taormina we book this hotel. It is pricey but we have gone two years in a row for my birthday so its a special treat for us.
Great hotel with a fantastic view over the ocean. The buffet breakfast was the best we had in Italy, so much variety with fresh, seasonal food! Highly recommend this stay in Taormina!
It’s been a magic night in Taormina. The Hotel was actually in the middle of the city center, super comfortable and strategically located. I really suggest that place ! Five stars
Monte Tauro is a hotel in Taormina with a perfect location- near to city centre but no traffic or noices are there at night. View is absolutely amazing. Staff was nice and kind.
