Lovely hotel, staff were very friendly and welcoming. Hotel is in great location.
Nothing - all good 👍
Perfekt beliggenhet
Badet kunne vært mye mer renslig. Treningsrommet var også ganske skittent.
Amazing view from the bedroom terrace over the Med. Wonderful family run hotel and nothing was too much trouble. Dinner next to the pool overlooking the bay was memorable. Great breakfast.
Localização e o atendimento foi muito atencioso
Tudo perfeito
The pool and location was perfect Close to the beach and the cable car to town The staff were so friendly and helpful and made you feel welcome
Very clean and spacious room with large balcony, very friendly owners and staff and reasonable bar prices. Great location on coast with a few good resturants nearby and only 5 minute cable car ride up to the town.
Can't fault this place would definitly stay again
Location was great for exploring Taormina! Close walk to the tram up to the city, short walk down to a beach, close to Isola Bella. Room was perfect! Had spectacular views of the ocean and pool area. Room was spacious, well maintained and very clean. Breakfast was delicious, nice wide variety. All staff members we interacted with were friendly, extremely helpful and professional.
Nothing!
Nous avons apprécié cet hôtel familial exceptionnellement situé au pied de Taormina et à proximité de isola Bella . Nous avons apprécie particulièrement la piscine de l hôtel et l accueil à notre arrivée. Hôtel à recommander
Nous avons moins apprécié le petit déjeuner à l anglaise et non local , dommage.
The staff were fantastic especially the 2 sisters on the front desk. Nothing was too much trouble. The view, location and pool were big highlights.
I personally would upgrade. My children did and their rooms were more comfortable and less noisy. Although mine offered everything i needed i would have preferred more room and better facilities
Localização excelente, funcionários prestativos, cafe da manhã farto, estacionamento no hotel, próximo a funivia e à praia de Mazzarò.
A ducha no box era diferente das usuais quanto ao manuseio. Seria bom instruções no local.
Great pool, Claudia was extremely helpful, location great. Lovely family run business.
Nothing not to like
Super goede locatie op loopafstand van restaurants, stranden en de kabelbaan richting het stadje. Hotelkamers waren super schoon en deze werden iedere dag gepoetst. Het personeel was enorm behulpzaam en lief!
Het enige minpuntje is dat de matrassen hard waren. En de douche was af en toe koud.
Prima zwembad, goed ontbijt, goede ligging, erg aardig personeel
Heel hard bed, douche van 1m bij 1m en hele kleine kamer.
Location
Very run down
Les jeunes filles à la réception très gentilles.
le confort des chambres est juste et peu moderne. L'accès au parking est compliqué au regard de la situation géographique de l'hôtel
Location Staff Facilities Food
Et hyggelig familiedrevet hotell med hyggelig ansatte! Hotellet var sentralt, og perfekt med basseng i varmen.
food was very good with a lot of variety
I don't think guests should have to pay for a pool towel as long as it is returned at the end of the stay
Big bedroom
Situation a little bit noisy
Atención de los empleados. Ubicación perfecta para ir a la playa de mazzaro e isola bella. Muy cerca del funicular que te lleva a Taormina. Precio del funicular muy caro aunque eso no depende del hotel. Carretera peligrosa para andar aunque no tiene nada que ver con el hotel.
La señal de WiFi no llega a la piscina. Para ser un hotel de 4 estrellas los baños son antiguos y no tienen accesorios de higiene en el baño solo un gel que sirve para todo.
The staff were friendly, the facilities provided were good, it was clean and great location.
The only thing I could complain about was there was no kettle in the room to make coffee.
The location was perfect, we were near the cable cars, bus stops, shops, restaurants, and we had a pool overlooking the mountains, the staff Claudia and Laura were just adorable and couldn't do enough for you. Other staff were so polite and friendly, even the cleaners... I would definitely recommend 👌 and come back again!!
The coffee ☕️ lol
Mal comunicado con el centro turístico de la ciudad , los autobuses no funciona bien
Great location and view! Staff were extremely accommodating. Great value especially having breakfast included.
Wish pool was open until a little later not 7pm :( other than that we loved our stay.
Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich.
The people, the pool, the position
Nothing
מלון קטן יש בריכה טובה קרוב לרכבל לחופי הים ולמסעדות במרחק הליכה , רמת הניקיון במלון גבוה מאוד , הצוות במלון דואג ועוזר בכל מה שצריך, ארוחת בוקר בסיסית אך הכל טרי .
אין מאוורר במעלית
Posizione strategica (spiaggia di Mazzarò a 5 minuti a piedi). Il personale super gentile e disponibile. I servizi offerti (lido in convenzione, servizio asciugamani per il mare e parcheggi a pagamento) molto apprezzati. La piscina un plus per chi sente la necessità di fare una pausa dal mare.
La atención del personal fue maravillosa, la habitación muy cómoda y limpia y el desayuno muy completo.
Todo muy bien
Very comfortable room with sea view and the staff was very helpful and friendly. They welcomed us in front of the car park and helped us with the luggage. The hotel is ideally located away from big crowds yet just a couple of minutes away rom the cable car that takes you to the top of Taormina. We also particularly liked the swimming pool. Also good breakfast selection.
Nothing we didn’t like.
Belle camere con balconcino
Colazione un po’ troppo internazionale
Het personeel was top.
Aankomst midden op een drukke straat met de auto was niet eenvoudig, best van te voren het hotel bellen.
Simpatia de todos , especialmente de Mário e suas duas filhas Claudia e Laura que tão bem nos receberem .
A chegada de carro é complicada devido a localização muito central .
La stanza, la cordialità delle ragazze alla reception e la loro professionalità e prontezza nel soddisfare le nostre richieste
La colazione può essere decisamente migliorata ed arricchita
The property was very clean..breakfast was great The girls at the front desk are incredible always available to help out with anything/everything you need
Muito profissional
Pas de parking
Très agréable séjour à l’hôtel Villa Esperia. L’emplacement est idéal et la vue sur la mer est magnifique. La chambre était très confortable et agréable. Le personnel est accueillant, professionnel et disponible. Une très bonne adresse pour profiter de Taormine !
Нам дуже сподобався цей готель! 🥰 Тут справді було дуже круто: привітний персонал, який завжди готовий допомогти, усміхається та створює неймовірно приємну атмосферу. Басейн чистий, територія доглянута, а розташування взагалі супер — зовсім близько до пляжів. 🏖️ Окремо хочеться відзначити смачну піцу 🍕 та дуже смачні коктейлі 🍹 Однозначно раджу цей готель усім, хто хоче добре відпочити, розслабитися та отримати приємні враження. Нам тут дуже сподобалося! ❤️ Якби їхала ще раз, без сумнівів обрала б саме цей готель! ⭐️
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Unser Mietauto wurde jeweils gebracht und wieder geparkt ohne Probleme. Die Reinigungskräfte waren ebenfalls sehr zuvorkommend, haben immer auf unseren Tagesrhythmus Rücksicht genommen und das Zimmer jeweils super geputzt. Das Zimmer konnte man sehr gut abdunkeln und es war sehr ruhig. Zur Seilbahnstation nach Taormina sind es nur 5 Gehminuten.
Frühstück gibt es nur bis 10:00 Uhr was für uns etwas ungünstig war, da wir in den Ferien auch gerne etwas länger schlafen. Zudem hatte es keine grosse Auswahl und der Raum war für alle Gäste eher klein. Der Pool hat uns am meisten enttäuscht. Er war zwar gross, aber es gab kaum Schattenplätze, keine Sonnenschirme, die Liegen waren dreckig und der ganze Bereich war lieblos gestaltet. Es war absolut nicht einladend da Zeit zu verbringen. Der Pool war ein Kriterium, weshalb wir das Hotel überhaupt gebucht haben. Deshalb war es schon schade.
Ovo je nase prvo putovanje na Siciliju i izabrali smo Taorminu, dosli smo bez ikakvih ocekivanja. Hotel Je bio jakoo udoban, i bili smo zadovoljni uslugom. Dorucak je bio pristojan i svako moze da nadje za sebe sta voli da jede. Takodje postoji mogucnost da narucite pizza za veceru ili tokom dana kada se kupate na bazenu. Pizza je odlicna, jako ukusna i cijenaa je i vise nego odlicna. Hotel ima bazen sa kojeg se pruzaa prelijep pogled na more. Osoblje hotela je i vise nego prijatno i stoje vam na usluzii 24/7. Claudia na recepciji je sjajna, dala nam je mnogo savjeta gdje da jedemo, sta da obidjemo kao i prilikom iznjamljivanja auta. Klima u sobi je takodje super radila i imali smo hladjenje. Svaki dan smo imali sredjenu sobu, i ciste peskire sto nam je bilo jako vazno. Sve u svemu nama je biloo jako lijepo i preporucujemo svima.
Jedino mi se nije svidio tus pored bazena.
Everything, communication before the booking to arrange our rental vehicle to be parked, a warm and friendly welcome at reception by Claudia and her sister Laura. Location is perfect. The views are amazing. The rooms are incredible. The bed was very comfortable. Everything was clean. The breakfast was amazing and the staff was so helpful regarding local tours. In addition, we decided to do a cooking class with Francesco and my son and I made the most incredible truffle, ravioli dish and Panna cotta dessert, something we will hold dear from our memory. It’s not often I give a hotel 10 out of 10 love this hotel is absolutely deserving and I would not hesitate to return or recommend to anybody who wants to have a great experience in Taormina. Being so close to the cable car for nightly trips to Taormina to do a spot of shopping and then also right in front of isola bella Beach with its beautiful waters, great snorkeling, and a local sailing trip recommended by Claudia. This was most certainly our best experience in all of Sicily.
Nothing everything was fantastic, well done, Claudia, Laura, Giuseppe serving drinks by the pool bar, Francesco for the cooking class and Mario for his amazing valet car service.
Atención de todo el equipo del hotel, el desayuno, la piscina y la habitación de 10. Excelente hotel y cerca de Funivia para Taormina.
Friendly staff and cleanliness
Nothing to complain about
I loved how clean everything was and the staff was very friendly and attentive
/
Ubicación muy cómoda al lado del funicular. Personal encantador. Piscina apetecible con el calor que hace
Desayuno algo escaso. Parking caro
Excelente ubicación, y la amabilidad y atención del personal.
the room and the facilities were extremely clean. The breakfast was typical but with really fresh fruit and food. The bed was hard (I actually like it like that, had 0 back pain when I woke up). The bathroom was like I said clean and well maintained. The water was hot and the AC was cold.
The room was located on the first floor. It was a simple room, almost too simple. It didn't have and decorations and the tv was on the small side.
Wspaniałe Panie w recepcji, zawsze służyły pomocą. Śniadania skromne i powtarzane ale wszystko zawsze świeże. Czyste pokoje, codziennie sprzątane, ręczniki wymieniane codziennie, pościel co parę dni. Zawsze wysprzątany pokój. Kelnerzy czy to w restauracji czy przy barze w basenie zawsze uśmiechnięci i dostępni aby przyrządzić szybko posiłek i przynieść nawet na basen! Bardzo polecam! Lokalizacja świetna blisko plaży, kolejki linowej do Taorminy (3min) i dworca z autobusami (3 min)
Beliggenhed. Hotellet lå i gåafstand til strandene, indkøb, restauranter, turistbureau, trappe til Taormina. Ok morgenmadsbuffet og værelser, dog havde alle værelser ikke udsigt. Lækker pool. God hjælp fra personale ift. guidance til ekskursioner og oplevelser. Bl.a en fantastisk bådtur langs kysten med mulighed for at bade.
Hotellet var fint, men ikke et udpræget 4-stjernet hotel. Vi vi ikke karakterisere stedet som høj komfort og kvalitet. Der var ingen minibar eller vand på værelset, ej heller strygebræt/jern.
Pas grand chose … le personnel est adorable.
La chambre est peu confortable et très vieillotte, une baignoire ou le pommeau ne fonctionne quasiment pas, une Clim avec des températures aléatoires, des coupures de courant, des vitres où on ne voit pas à travers, literie à revoir également . Mes attentes pour un 4 étoiles sont largement supérieures ! Le wifi en libre accès donc pas sécurisé et ne fonctionne pas. Le service de parking payant….
Great
Great
Claudia and all the staff made our birthday celebrations wonderful exceptionally amazing this hotel
Nothing
De locatie is echt heel goed, dichtbij de bus en gondel naar Taormina. En op loopafstqbd van het strand. Het personeel was ook heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Kamers waren goed schoon.
Het ontbijt en de eetzaal was niet echt een mooie gezellige ruimte .
Location and pool
Better varied breakfast and lunch menu
Nagyon jo az elhelyezkedése
A reggeli lehetne változatosabb
Villa Esperia was a wonderful place to stay. I loved the location—it was convenient and made exploring the area so easy. The view from the pool was absolutely stunning, offering the perfect setting to relax and take in the beauty of Taormina. Breakfast was another highlight, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options to choose from each morning. The staff was welcoming, and the overall experience was peaceful and enjoyable. I would happily stay here again.
While I enjoyed my stay overall, there were a few disappointments that future guests should be aware of. I was surprised that pool towels were not included and had to be rented separately just to use the pool. The room also felt a bit outdated, and the bathroom could use some improvements. During every shower, the bathtub would fill with water due to slow drainage, and water would easily leak onto the bathroom floor. Another thing to keep in mind is that parking is **not included** with your reservation and requires an additional fee. While I didn't mind paying for parking, I wish this had been made clear before my arrival rather than at check-in. I also needed to iron some clothes, but the hotel does not provide an iron or ironing board for guests. Instead, you must use their paid ironing service. Every other hotel I stayed at during my trip offered an iron or ironing facilities, so this was an unexpected inconvenience. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel's excellent location, spectacular views from the pool area, and outstanding breakfast made the stay enjoyable overall.
Great hotel overall. The pool is well maintained, and it is perfect for relaxing at the pool, there are many places also so it does not get congested. All the staff were wonderful and the hotel location is great, facing the sea. The breakfast is good and varied. We had the upgraded room with terrace and it was all worth it.
Nothing at all.
Great location, very friendly helpful staff, loved the balcony with sun lounges
I liked it all
Great location. Pool and staff very welcoming and friendly
Someone's old pasta left in fridge which had gone mouldy. Breakfast limited
La ubicación es excelente, cerca de las playas a pie y al lado del funicular, que te lleva en 5 minutos al centro de taormina y sale cada 15 minutos. La atencion en recepción fue muy buena. Las instalaciones y desayuno correcto/básico
Es imposible aparcar el auto en la calle. El estacionamiento de hotel sale €25 el dia.
Staff was very kind!
Staff was friendly But we are still waiting for an answer regarding a urgent matter
Location was good Look more a 3 start hotel than 4
Posizione, accoglienza
Bagno, stanza e colazione
Villa Esperia is superbly located for a stay in Taormina. It is a short walk to the centre of the lower parts of the town with a wide selection of bars, restaurants and some small shops. It is also very close to the cable car taking you to the main town with its very chic shopping and even more varied bars and restaurants. The hotel is very comfortable, well appointed and meticulously clean. The staff are very friendly, endlessly helpful and speak much better English than my useless Italian. The pool is terrific with splendid views over the Bay. The Hotel's private beach is some 2Km away and is served by a regular shuttle bus. It has good facilities including a good restaurant. It costs 16 Euros a day per person
Nothing to do with the hotel but visitors need to be aware that the hotels around Isola Bella are situated on cliffs well above the beaches - some stamina is required to walk up and down!
Staff were lovely especially behind the front desk
Was a little ran down in the room, specifically the shower and the two single beds to make a double you just end up falling into the middle.
Creo que el establecimiento esta un poco antiguo, pero es la tonica en muchos hoteles de la zona. La habitación estaba reformada, era exterior y de un tamaño bueno, reformada incluso el baño. Las instalaciones bien asi como el desayuno, mas que suficiente. El personal muy atento y profesional
Perfecte locatie, op loopafstand van het strand en de kabelbaan naar het centrum.
Helaas was de parkeergelegenheid beperkt. Daarnaast waren sommige medewerkers niet erg gastvrij en reageerden ze minder vriendelijk ☹️
I liked the area, the pool.
The fact that the room that we paid for was not available, given a lesser room and told that is the way it is and offered a bottle of wine.
The hotel is in a great location, next to cable cars which takes a few minutes to get to Taormina town, lots of great beaches that are walking distance
Good location and value. Clean and great staff
Breakfast buffet was very basic. Little fruit choice, ceral eg granola not provided. Rolls were not great. Same every day.
