This hotel is beyond worth the stay! My husband and i stayed there for two nights and we fell in love with everything from the service to the people, they were just so hospitable and i can not say enough about the breakfast.. the best from all our stays in Sicily. We stayed in the suite and the room is was beautiful and the terrace view was beyond.. we loved it!! They do not have parking for cars included, but they do have two parkings in front of the hotel and with an extra charge and if your lucky to find it available its yours.. we were lucky and for 30.00 a day we parked our car literally in front of the hotel across the street. Thank you for making our 34th anniversary one to never forget.

This property had many good points but a few bad points too.
The good points are:
Very clean all around the property, rooms cleaned daily and towels and sheets changed regularly.
Lovely garden overlooking the sea with tropical plants. Excellent breakfast served in the garden each morning, delicious pastries and bread as well as some hot food. Breakfast staff very friendly and helpful.
Excellent location. The hotel is a 2 minute walk from the bus station and a 4/5 minute walk to the town centre. The hotel is painted a bright red colour which makes it easy to spot on arrival. We could spot it from many locations around Taormina!
The bad points are:
2 flights of steps down to the property with no sign indicating where the reception is. We had to direct many new guests to the right place. We are able bodied and did not have a problem, but others did, and there was not always help available to carry luggage. The lifts did not stop at our floor level so we still had to carry our cases up some stairs.
We chose a balcony room which we were told was small on arrival. The room was adequate but a few shelves above the desk would have made a big difference. However, the bathroom was tiny, probably the smallest bathroom I've come across in a hotel. There was a step up to the toilet and shower which could be unsafe, and the gap between the shower and sink as you went up the step was small so larger people may have a problem.
Overall, a lovely holiday, Sicily is beautiful.

This perfectly located bed and breakfast was incredible! Just a few blocks from via Umberto (shopping and dining), the cable car that transports you to Isola Bella and from the bus stop that transports you to the train station and the beach, it's the place to stay if you're relying on mass transportation! Additionally, the room was brand new, bright and clean! The staff, most notably Antonella was so very helpful and passionate in her profession creating for us a 48-hour agenda which included getting the most amazing pictures of Mt. Etna from a town three miles North, to reserving a 2-hour 10-person boat excursion from Naxos around Isola Bella and back, such a great day! Most notable was the extravagant daily breakfast (really felt like brunch!) with all the Sicilian favorites and friendly staff preparing fresh baked goods and stewed veggies and bruschetta right in front of us!

Wonderful stay for our 2 night trip to Taormina. The location was fantastic. Very close to the cable car and the Corso pedestrian walk. We had a place to park our car right in front of the hotel. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good, more than enough choice to start our day and while sitting in a breakfast room with a beautiful view. Would stay here again if I come back and would highly recommend to my friends. Thank you!!

We’ve been in Sicily for over a month and this was our favorite weekend- the hotel is beautiful. Great location. Great staff. Nice rooms. Looking back I’m very surprised how affordable the hotel was compared to others given the overall experience. I travel a lot and this was the best experience to value I’ve enjoyed. Thank you! I’ll be back again.

This is a wonderful place to stay while in Taormina. The staff and owners make you feel like part of the family. Exquisite views, top notch breakfast, and Matteo makes the best cappuccinos! Close to the bus line and Corso Umberto (the main street). We want to return next year to the same room! Highly recommend!

This is a charming hotel with a great view of the sea and a fabulous garden breakfast/lounge area! The breakfast was outstanding ! The hotel receptionist gave us an excellent suggestion for dinner. The only disadvantage of the property is the stairs and difficulty finding the entrance.

Family vacation in Taormina

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!

Not worth the money

The overall experience was both disappointing and underwhelming considering the price tag on the room. Very clean but the bathroom had a bit of mouldy scent. The towels were thin and with poor quality, losing little white bits of thread and cotton all over hair and body. The breakfast was below average with dishes that got cold and no refilling of the food even an hour before breakfast closed, and the morning coffee tasted a bit off. The staff was friendly but not super attentive, the outdoor patio was cute and had a great view but all in all we would not recommend it.

A great historic property, that was tastefully modernized yet maintained the character of its location and origins. Property was a short walk from the bus station and cable cars and an ideal spot for navigating Taormina’s sites and offerings.

The staff was friendly and provided a great concierge service recommending and arranging travel, dinner reservations and sites.

The morning breakfast was fantastic providing a full fare of local cuisine.

The property was relaxing, safe and beautiful…. Our room had a small balcony overlooking the coast. Couldn’t be more pleased with the stay.

Definitely would revisit.

His son was super friendly when we arrived late night too and super generous to help with the bags. The last on recepción very kind too and helpful to find me a spot to park calling from her cellphone.

The hotel was lovely with a gorgeous view and the location was perfect to walk into the main shopping and dining area. The staff was fantastic and took amazing care of us. They even gave us a bottle of prosecco when the found out it was our anniversary. They served a fantastic breakfast each day. The only issue was the metal shade that was supposed to roll down to block light from coming into the room was broken and we told the front desk clerk who was going to try to fix while we were out but was unable to. Because of that we were up at 630am each day due to the blinding light that came into the room. If you don't mind getting up that early on vacation it would not be an issue. Overall the room was nice and we greatly enjoyed our stay there.

FANTASTIC. Location was beautiful, both the hotel itself and the natural setting of Taormina and the gorgeous views of the Mediterranean. The breakfasts were superb --- the best we had in Italy by far. But the main reason for our great experience was the warm and friendly staff, led by the wonderful Antonella, as well as the kind and helpful Marco and Mario. Would only ever stay at the Pensione Svizzera in any future trips to Taormina. We truly hated to leave.

They were warm, friendly, helpful, and overall fantastic. Our room was cozy but pleasant. The breakfast is excellent. The garden outside is beautiful. They have a hotel cat who is as sweet as can be and will be found sleeping in the sun. They have many levels of rooms with different views.
