Hotel Natalina

We decided to do a last minute trip to Taormina to see the amphitheatre and visit Mt Etna and the Alcanatara Gorges, whilst staying at our villa in Cefalu. We chose this hotel as it was budget friendly and close to the town/theatre/cable car to the beach. We arrived early and Eva gave us the most personal welcome - making us cappuccino’s before sitting with us and outlining places of interest on the map. She then told us to place our luggage in the storage area and personally escorted my husband to the parking garage to ensure he found a space ok. Eva advised that breakfast was served 8-10 the following morning and was included, but explained we wouldn’t have breakfast and we had to leave by 8 for our trip to Mt Etna - her reply, no worries we can do breakfast at 07.30 instead and what a spread they had for us in the morning! Delicious pastry, bread, fruit, cheese, meats, yoghurts, eggs and lots more - absolutely outstanding service! We had ordered 2 glasses of wine at the bar after returning earlier than anticipated due to heavy rain and on checking out I explained we still had to pay for these and she said - on the house, to take your mind off the rain! So, so kind! Eva also gave us a great restaurant recommendation for dinner - Sapporo Di Mare and it didn’t disappoint either. Hotel rooms themselves were dated but spotlessly clean and the service outdone everything - I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! After arriving back in Cefalu we realised my son had accidentally left his blanket in Hotel Natalina and Eva has been superb at keeping in touch and agreeing to post this back to us in Scotland. We wish this hotel nothing but the best for the future xx

Basic, affordable accommodation that is conveniently located, clean and functional. The staff were tremendous; friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was better than we were expecting.

Lovely place for a short break in Taormina and the area, we were well looked after by the team and they were very helpful with my mother who has mobility issues.

Great location for us, walking distance from hotel to the town centre, shopping, restaurants, coffee shops and bus stops. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Convenient location, simple but nice room, friendly and helpful staff. They one slight downside of the central location was that my room overlooked a rather well trafficked road, which was quite load late into the night. Overall, great stay though.

The staff are very helpful with any request
