Room with a view…
It’s easy to find just steps away from the cable car. It’s inconvenient walking distance to plenty of great restaurants and shops. We had a patio view of the water. That was amazing. Breakfast is very nice even offered champagne.. I would highly recommend this hotel.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, with suggestions of places to visit and good local restaurants. It is in a great location and within easy walking distance of all the attractions and the bus station. The hotel was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast varied and plentiful. We would stay at this hotel again.

Cozy property just a few minute walk from the Main Street. Also next to the cable car which is a huge plus if you visit Isola Bella. Room had a small terrace and was clean and well appointed. Staff were friendly and helpful, giving a map and offering highlights. After check-in, they directed us to a lot right down the road- cash only upon exit but reasonable price. Nice breakfast spread, as well.

Family vacation in Taormina
The hotel is older and in a great location walking distance to the historic section with a beautiful view. Some rooms have been renovated/updated and though small they were comfortable. The staff is incredible! We were greeted by Antonella who upon registration asked us if we needed help making plans. She arranged a boat and taxi for the next day as well as restaurant recommendations. Others helped with dinner reservations and served a lovely breakfast and happy hour on the terrace overlooking the sea. They also recommended and reserved spots for us at affiliated beach clubs and shuttles to and from there. We had a wonderful 3 days there and are so grateful for the great recommendations and help from the staff!

FANTASTIC. Location was beautiful, both the hotel itself and the natural setting of Taormina and the gorgeous views of the Mediterranean. The breakfasts were superb --- the best we had in Italy by far. But the main reason for our great experience was the warm and friendly staff, led by the wonderful Antonella, as well as the kind and helpful Marco and Mario. Would only ever stay at the Pensione Svizzera in any future trips to Taormina. We truly hated to leave.

Great location, close enough to the busiest area of Taormina, yet just on the periphery. Easy to get anywhere from this location. Good breakfast and daily happy hour. Very accommodating staff with good restaurant recommendations.
