“View from the terrace in our room was spectacular”

Other than the difficulty in driving on the narrow street to get to the hotel, this hotel was fantastic. The views from our terrace were breathtaking, the food in the hotel restaurant was very good and reasonably priced and the staff extremely courteous.

“The best value for the money hotel in Taormina.”

This hotel has been situated perfectly, with magnificent view on Ionic sea. It is located in the city center, just above the main city square. You can hear the music from the caffe, but not after midnight. It is not loud, mostly Italian songs, quite expected for the location. Hotel is clean and cosy. Furniture is rustical, but functional. Staff is kind and correct. Food (breakfast and dinner) were good.Due to travel itinerary, I had to change two different rooms. Although the first one was smaller with smaller terace (the second one was huge and room as well), both prvovided similar view, comfort and joy. I think it is the best value for the money hotel in Taormina.

“Central, personnel très disponible”

L'hotel Vello d'Oro est en position centrale, juste au dessus de la place principale de Taormina. L'accès se fait soit par le "Corso Umberto", artère principale du village, soit par la route qui passe derrière l'hotel (pratique pour ceux qui arrivent en voiture ou taxi). L'hotel possède deux magnifiques terrasses d'où on peut admirer la ville, le théatre grec, l'Etna, etc. Notre chambre était large et propre avec un joli balcon d'où on voyait la mer. Le personnel a été très disponible. Une anecdote : le dernier jour nous avons libéré la chambre à 11h, notre train partait dans la soirée, et nous avons passé la journée à la plage. Non seulement ils ont gardé nos valises, mais à notre retour de la plage on a mis à notre disposition une chambre, pour qu'on puisse prendre une douche et se reposer avant le départ.

“Taormina Dreams”

Extremely accomodating staff. ncredible views from balconies and terraces on Rooftop lounge.

“Great Hotel and Town”

Review already written. Great hotel and place to visit.

“Reasonable price for Taormina.”

Good location, but hotel needs a refresh.

“Well worth a visit.”

Excellent location in centre of town, but still quiet. Apart from breakfast (fair), did not eat in hotel preferring to try the numerous eating places in town. Would stay there again.

“not impressed”

The location of this hotel is great. The reception very rude, breakfast was average. They did tell you in their description of the Hotel Vello d'Oro, Taormina, (All are air-conditioned,) they forgot to mention that it is turned off during the day and you have no climate control in your room (centrally controlled). We were totally disappointed with our stay there, with the temperatures reaching 38 most of the days,no way you can go back to your room and rest during the day. It spoiled our stay in Taormina, which was meant to be a romantic and special stay.

“Vello d'Oro à Taormine : à éviter”

Vue plongeante sur Taormine avec un restaurant en contrebas qui joue tous les soirs de la musique jusqu'à 3 heures du matin, relayé ensuite par le karaoké du pub situé juste en dessous. Le personnel, peu sympathique, explique que ce n'est tout de même pas de leur faute si le voisinage fait du bruit et vous propose de changer pour une chambre plus petite, soi-disant plus calme (moins de soirées bruyantes...) sans air conditionné et, bien sûr, sans aucune compensation. Nous n'avons pas pu rencontrer le directeur de l'hôtel malgré notre demande.
