Good location, close to the beach, but quite a walk with a lot of stairs to the Taormina city, not for elderly or families with young children (better use a shuttle bus). Parking is easy to find on the side of a road. Staff is super friendly and with a lot of insight info. Good breakfast with lots of variety and all is local. Great accomodation!

    Our 8th return trip to the beautiful Isola Bella Hotel. Every year we love it more. On each visit the views continue to take our breath away and to feed our souls with contentment and joy. This Hotel is beautifully run by such a wonderful team of staff, from Francesco and Giuseppe to the lovely ladies who always have a smile and utmost courtesy for their guests. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the staff here make this hotel an excellent reason to keep coming back. There is an ambience and tranquility about the place that is hard to find elsewhere. Even in the occasional storm Hotel Isola Bella beckons you inside to rest and marvel at nature's spectacular views. It's also the perfect location to stay in to explore the stunning historic town of Taormina and gaze at Etna from the magical heights of the Teatro Antico!. Don't miss a trip to Castelmola.And if you have a car, go to Novara di Sicilia! You won't be disappointed! To Francesco, we send a big thank you for answering all of our questions on the history of this beautiful location. We will miss the engaging conversations and we will miss Hotel Isola Bella until next year! Alle prossima volte! E grazie mille di tutto!

    The hotel is beautiful and offers excellent wellness facilities. The rooms are a bit simple for a 4-star hotel, but this is quite common in Italy. Still, they have everything you need, and the bed was very comfortable! The hotel’s private parking lot was very convenient — we always found a space for our car. There are nice restaurants and bars within walking distance, and the meeting point for Etna tours is just a short 20-minute drive away. Overall, a great stay!

    Great location if you like chilling by the private beach or by the pool area on the rocky cliff, sipping drinks and waving at the boats that are passing by. It may be a bit far from main streets and restaurants of Taormina, but the shuttle bus takes you there every 20 mins, and the reception will get taxi at any time. Perfect place for enjoying amazing view of Etna, and beach side of Naxos, and would recommend this facility to any of my friends and families.

All the staff are very friendly and helpful, from receptionists, to the barmen, the spa staff to the waitering staff, even the pool man makes an effort to make you feel at home.

    Lovely vibrant town with stunning views, and an abundance of places to eat,drink and shop. The local bus station was convenient for travel to other parts of sicily either on your own or with a tour. The Bam Bar, la Neopolitan pizza restaurant and Ristaronte da Nino must be tried to be be believed.

    The town is wonderful and filled with history. we where lucky enough to visit during their carnival, which is something special especially with children. Even the locals are wonderful, mornings in the piazza's are like from a movie, time moving slowly and everyone talking to each other over a coffee. I loved it and looking forward to visit again.

    A very nice town, I particularly like the climate, not hot, humid but not too humid. Many options to walk, eat etc. Very close to Aetna and Catania. I do have to want though that Italians in Sicily (don't know about the rest of Italy) are complete Gypsies! They will try to take your money using any trick they can think of! They make you pay for parking (e.g. in Palermo) and for toilets! When you sit in a restaurant or café, they charge you for the service - and if you just take away, they charge you again! In the airport with Ryanair, they made us pay 46 euro to carry the same suitcase we have been carrying in Ryanair from any other destination for free, including the flight to reach Sicily! Ancient Greek spots are too expensive - more than 10 euros each, more expensive than the Acropolis! To visit Aetna's peak with a guide needs 120 euros per person, plus another 55 if you want to see some extra landforms! So be prepared to experience the worst driving behaviour, illegal driving and road network conditions I've seen in all countries I've been to so far! Full of useless roundabouts, signs don't exist in English anywhere, and the network is too confusing for a first timer, even if he is Italian.

    This is a nice little town on the slopes of Etna and is especially convenient for visiting the Volcano. It is also close to the eastern coast of Sicily and its beaches whilst various tourist attractions are nearby. A car is almost essential though as public transport from the town is only by bus.

    If you are looking for an area that is less touched by tourism but still with plenty of facilities in resort, you can not go wrong. Public transport can take you into Catania (about 40 mins) for historical visit and choice of shopping experiences, but the long flat promenade, excellent restaurants. We dinned mostly at Pellegrino Pizzeria as the stay are so friendly, very good food and very reasonable prices. Walking between AciTrezza and AciCastello is very easy for a change of scenery and there are wide choices of boat trips from the harbour. There are also several diving companies for those looking to go under the water rather than view it on top.

    This is a nice hotel with very friendly staff but located in a residential area that had seen better days. All the beaches had volcanic sand which isn't pleasant to walk on or lay on. The sea was quite rough and you would have to be a very confident swimmer to enter the water.

    Aci Castello (AC) is located a 15 minute drive from central Catania and therefore is out of the fray, as we say. The AC promenade has stunning scenery and south of AC is home to many lidos i.e., beach resorts. AC is close to Catania City Center, Mt. Etna and Taormina, three must-see attractions. You will need to rent a car or motor scooter as there looked to be very little public transportation in the AC area.

    Giarre and neighbouring Riposto are unspoilt small towns with few tourists. We were the only foreigners wherever we ate. La Tavernetta was our favourite. The seafood market in Riposto was a perfect source for the meals we cooked in our suite. Driving in Sicily is fun as long as you copy the locals. Use Apple maps for navigation - Google maps was useless.
