Independent, Taormina hotels

"This is an incredible gem of an hotel. The location is just steps away from the pedestrian area of Taormina; the staff were tremendously helpful; the views are to die for. Excellent breakfast with views of the sea and Mt Etna and happy hour (with complimentary snacks) in the same location. Cannot recommend it highly enough."

"This property was definitely one of my favourites The view is spectacular. Friendly staff and great location. "

"This property was absolutely stunning. Every inch of the property was well maintained. The staff was very friendly and the free transportation was an added bonus. I can’t wait to go back !"

"Great location, very clean!"

"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! "

"Our favorite in Taormina, don’t miss the breakfast "

"Our Delta flight was canceled and we lost first night hotel fee & prepaid tour. But remainder of our hotel stay was fantastic! Mazzaro Sea Palace is the best! Beach, pool, restaurant & the best seaside piano lounge. "

"The hotel was fantastic and well designed. The pool was ideal, and we never had an issue with finding a lounge chair. The views of the sea throughout the hotel were spectacular. "

"Perfect location "
