What guests think

At Hotel Bel Soggiorno, travelers consistently praise breathtaking views over the sea and Mount Etna and the warm, helpful staff, while noting the hillside location requires stair-climbs and the on-site parking can be tight.

Rooms often feature terraces with superb views but the decor is traditional or dated, with small bathrooms and some hard mattresses or noise from corridors and nearby roads. Breakfast is a clear highlight, frequently described as varied and delicious with panoramic terraces, but there is little to no dinner service on site. Expect a charming, view-forward stay with excellent breakfasts and friendly service.

Der var hjælp til bagagen ved ankomst - i øvrigt er der ikke elevator til at klare de mange trapper. Fin udsigt. Der er parkeringsmulighed, hvis man reserverer eller kommer meget tidligt. Rigtig fin morgenmad.

Beautiful hotel overlooking the Mediterranean. We were lucky to get a room that also faced Mount Etna. The breakfasts were beyond delicious. It was a feast for a king with a wide selection of frittatas, pies, desserts and fruits. Staff were extremely kind, and ready to help. There is also parking on site.

BUT, as our four day stay went on we came to enjoy the quirky ‘old world’ 1908 atmosphere. It became the BEST place we stayed in Sicily. Attentive staff at breakfast and at the bar in the evening.

Lovely characterful hotel. Spotlessly clean. Fantastic breakfast. Really friendly staff. Great sea views from the room and of Etna from the terrace, though weather was not great for May. Uphill walk into Taormina with about 100 steps, though only takes 10 mins or so, 15 total to reach Corso Umberto. Enjoyed our stay despite the unseasonal weather.

Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Hotel Bel Soggiorno is in a fantastic location, close to the center of Taormina with easy access to everything. However, our room was a bit disappointing. The photos online showed ocean views, but in reality, our balcony overlooked the elevator, which was moving up and down all the time—not a pleasant view. In addition, the lunch service was very slow, which took away from the overall experience. With some improvements, this hotel could be excellent.

The views are magnificent but rooms and common areas were disappointing and need some care. Breakfast and drinks were very good. Front desk staff were unfriendly and not very welcoming. I had been communicating to arrange a ride from the train station (I was traveling with my 84 yr old mother) and was told early on to notify them 3 days ahead. When I did that I was told to get a cab. Confusing but not an issue until no cabs were available. When I called to let them know and get assistance, one desk person hung up on me. Very disappointing.

Daily breakfast selection was wonderful and varied each day!! Spectacular views from dining areas and from our room balcony of the sea, coastline and MT. Etna. Beautiful flowers everywhere. I will definitely stay here the next time we visit Taormina. The location is perfect, close to shopping and restaurants and cafes. The staff made excellent recommendations for dining in the evening and were able to secure reservations for us which was important. This hotel is perfect for restful nights! Thank you Bel Soggiorno for wonderful memories and an amazing stay!

The property sits high so lots of steep walks and steps. But we were okay with that since you got rewarded with amazing views. Also walkable to Taormina bus terminal from where we took a direct bus to Catania airport. That was very convenient. The train station is not walking distance but you can take a taxi.

It’s a 10 minute walk up hill to town of Taormina by an incredible public park. View of Mount Etna, the sea shore towns, and the sea. I would return in a minute! The breakfast was absolutely delicious. All homemade items, fantastic quiches, bruschetta and they cater to gluten free, dairy free and decaf drinks. My husband and I couldn’t have been happier here. Plus we met lovely fellow travelers there and took the local bus together up to Castlemola for a day’s outing. Recommend taking the Mount Etna tour and godfather tour too.
