What guests think

AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

At Hotel Vello d'Oro, travellers praise the very central, walkable location and memorable sea or Etna views, while repeatedly noting dated decor, variable room comfort and amenities, occasional rooftop-terrace closures, and lively evening noise from nearby bars until about midnight.

The hotel is in a fabulous location, just minutes from the pretty streets filled with shops and restaurants. We booked a sea view room which didn’t disappoint as we could also see Mt.Etna and the Greek theatre, a beautiful view that you could never tire off. The room was very clean and the beds comfortable, lots of storage and plenty of toiletries snd towels provided. The room included a mini fridge but could be improved by having tea & coffee making facilities also. Breakfast was nice, with a lot of choice perfect if you have a sweet tooth. The decor around the hotel is dated but overall we were very happy with our two night stay.

I loved proximity to the walkable area, the views from the room, options to have the car parked which is a big problem in Taormina (price 25 euros per day).

Property was very dated but clean. It’s very central located. Walkable to any attraction and in the middle of shops and restaurants. The only negative really was they have a beautiful terrace they could use for breakfast and they keep it closed. If I didn’t have a room with view( which I paid an extra €40 per day ) the only place to have a view was at the last floor from the bar. Which was only open in the evening. Staff was very professional and accommodating with all our needs. Parking was also very convenient.

Gorgeous building with lovely helpful staff and perfect location. We didn't realize there wasn't parking available and they organized somewhere to keep our car during our stay. Breakfast was yummy and the views were stunning. Right over the main street of Taormina.
