Excellent experience at this hotel - it isn't the fanciest, but it is clean, safe, well located, the staff is very kind, and the views are OUTSTANDING. My room was only for one person (twin bed) but it was sufficient. Few people go to Taormina to stay in their rooms. My balcony overlooking Mt Etna and the Ionian sea made up for any lack of square footage in the room. The hotel arranged a taxi for me to and from the airport, which was helpful. There is a very loud bar that plays live music every night (other reviews also mention this)...I heard it but was able to sleep through it. Perhaps if you are a light sleeper, maybe ask for a room in the front of the hotel, not the back

The hotel has good bones and in its day must have been rather grand. Today it is a well-located three star solution though tired. Central air, off for the season, left us struggling to be comfortable.

Had a great stay at the hotel Vello D’Oro found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable with a good outside space overlooking Taormina. Roof top bar has spectacular views of the town and Mount Etna. Great location and loved the magic door from the hotel giving access to the Main Street with the many restaurants and bars. There is a half decent breakfast that was plentiful for us. All in all a great hotel a tad dated but great location, friendly, clean and comfortable.

This hotel was in an excellent location for exploring Taormina, especially being able to access the back door which led right out to the Corso Umberto! Staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke good English ,which was helpful to us. Our room was a good size with plenty of storage and the adjoins bathroom was quaint, although the shower was a bit dated. Everything was very clean and housekeeping was efficient. The little balcony overlooked the sea in the distance and although we could hear music from local bars and restaurants it wasn’t invasive. The buffet breakfast was good and plentiful.
The only disappointing thing was the airport shuttle which was on the website at €50 each way. Staff were amazed at this price when we showed them and we had to pay €140 for a private taxi.

The hotel was lovely….we had two amazing staff that took care of us. Martina and Samantha were friendly and went above and beyond! They made our stay memorable!! The views from the rooms were incredible. The nearby restaurants, entertainment, shopping and cultural areas are not to be missed. The location is very convenient to everything. Bello bello bello❤️

I really enjoyed my stay and thought it was great value!
Location is impeccable and literally 70m from the central square of Taormina. Staff was super polite and helpful whenever I needed help
Overall very clean throughout with a stunning rooftop bar on top of the hotel. Rooms are a bit “vintage” but that gives it a better vibe anyway.

If you like quirky, vintage hotels, this is the place for you. The architecture and decor inside of the hotel is one-of-a-kind. There were a few features to the hotel that made our stay enjoyable: sun-bathed dining room for breakfast, really nice roof-top bar/lounge/patio, cooky decor throughout the hotel. You can't really walk from the hotel to the beach, but there's a well-priced service that gives you a ride to and from the beach, and includes chairs/umbrella. Otherwise, the location of the hotel is great. Even though you're in the midst of the touristy scene, it's quiet.

Great location once we found the hotel. Lots of dining areas in walking distance. Great view from rooftop bar. The only minor drawback was no power point in the bathroom and only one mirror in the bathroom. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the staff were very accommodating.

The location is great- its midway from the main street of restaurants and bars. The rooms were spacious and clean. We had a balcony with a stunning view of the coast and mt etna. Breakfast was adequate with rolls, pastries and cakes, cheese, ham cereal and juices (You can request a machine coffee from the waiters). Access to the main street via a lift down from the hotel. We didnt have a car but parking looks very limited as its on a narrow road.

This place is a real gem - but unassuming at the same time. Its an Art hotel and the artwork didn't always suit my tastes but everything else was amazing....great price, buffet breakfast included, really polite/helpful staff and a cool roof top bar with amazing views over the whole town. And the best thing, their secret backdoor exit lead right down into the centre of town! Perfect!

Right in the centre of Taormina, excellent location. Staff very friendly. Building is a little dated, but still worth the money. Also worth paying a little more to have a balcony with sea view and stunning views of Etna.

Location and parking was not easy to find. Air condition was scheduled to turn off at 1:30 am. Great views and bar.

I really enjoyed my stay here. It’s above the Main Street of Taormina and about a 15 minute walk from the bus station (uphill!)
The hotel has a lovely reception with 24 hour staff.
The decor is perhaps a little outdated but I found it charming and more importantly, it was well maintained and clean. I loved the wardrobe in my room.
Bed was comfortable and the room is air conditioned so perfect in the summer heat.
The shower was excellent. The hairdryer was the standard “tube” style common pre 2000 so bring your own if that matters to you.
My balcony was so cute, looking out towards the sea. It was overlooked but I didn’t mind that.
The electrical outlets in rooms are awkwardly with light switches, so if you use an adapter it keeps turning the lights on. A very minor and non problematic gripe.
The staff were so friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was great, a selection of breads and cakes, plus cold cuts, yoghurt, cereals and juices.
I would definitely stay again!
