Great location

Could not wish for a better location - and amazing views of the coastline and mount Etna. The grounds are beauty. Be prepared the hotel is old and not your standard 4 star hotel.

We loved the property and the garden/pool area. The breakfast was great. The front desk staff treated us as third class citizens, it started with the looking up of our reservation when they acted with distain to us having used a booking service and seemed to look down their noses at our casual dress as they have a lot of conference types. We were af the end of 6 weeks of travel and dress casually. We could afford to stay in their best room for 6 months but that is not our style. I would like to see Mark Zuckleberg check in !!!!!

Information about the area

Taormina, Sicily, Italy

With a stay at Excelsior Palace Hotel, you'll be centrally located in Taormina, steps from Palazzo dei Duchi di Santo Stefano and Porta di Catania. This family-friendly hotel is 0.2 mi (0.3 km) from Piazza del Duomo.

Taormina is a charming hillside town on the east coast of Sicily, Italy and is one of the island's main tourist resorts. Taormina has been a very popular tourist destination since the 19th century. It has popular beaches (accessible via an aerial tramway) on the Ionian Sea, which is remarkably warm and has a high salt content. Since the opening of the first hotel in 1874, Taormina has become one of the world top tourist destinations where visitors can experience a perfect combination of old times charming atmosphere, preservation of history and culture, an elegant and lively way of life to be enjoyed in relaxing walks through the old town pedestrian areas. The tourist has a lot to do and see: top level art performances at the Greek theatre, several painting exhibitions held in local palazzi and churches, fine elegant shopping along the famous “Corso Umberto” with its classical music coffees and pastry shops. Or visiting local art museums, taking naturalistic walks in the surrounding countryside, golfing at the nearby 18-holes green, enjoying the fantastic beaches at easy reach, where the mild Mediterranean climate allows to practice all water sports as swimming, scuba diving, sailing, windsurfing, or just sunbathing for nearly eight months a year and even more.
