What guests think
At Relais 147 - Luxury b&b, guests consistently praise the unbeatable center-of-Taormina location on Corso Umberto, exceptionally warm and helpful hosts, and a tranquil garden courtyard with a jacuzzi that feels like a quiet oasis off the busy street.
Several reviews mention nighttime street noise, plus occasional weak air conditioning and compact showers. Breakfast is widely appreciated, though one guest found it underwhelming. Parking in Taormina can be tricky and often requires a public garage; overall, expect a boutique B&B experience best suited to travellers comfortable with a lively setting.

Just make sure you know parking is difficult, the manger explained after but still didn’t understand till we arrived how difficult and you need to make sure you don’t miss the parking structure because it take 15-20 minutes to get around the town

We loved the charming hotel: very nice room with a huge terrace, Rahid the manager was quite attentive, nice breakfast, garden with hot tub, 2 hammocks and an outdoor eating area was very nice. Reason for the overall 4 stars was there was a nightclub close by that plays very loud music till midnight every night. Hard time sleeping till they stopped.

Was surprised to be told that if we needed something, we should anticipate it and text the single staff in advance as he indicated that he wasn’t always on property. The shower was smaller than a now extinct phone booth. At check out was yold that I had to pay city tax of €15 in cash. Hot tub was luke warm, more of a bath than a jacuzzi experience.

Overall this was a good stay. The service was helpful. The garden and jacuzzi were nice to have. Would recommend for people who are mostly planning to sleep in the hotel, and who want to be right in the heart of the city. The biggest downsides were that the AC in our room wasn’t very effective, and that it was quite loud at night given the central location. We were glad we read this in the reviews before we came, and brought a white noise machine. It saved the day (or night, rather).

The service was excellent. The property has amazing history- 300 year old building! Many interesting nooks and crannies. The garden area was just lovely. A great respite from Via Umberto chaos. The breakfast was abundant and good. The two drawbacks were the noise from the busy street until midnight- but there are rooms that don’t suffer that. Ask for one. The second was the Oder in the bathroom. Probably related to the age of the building. But, it was good value. Great location.

The parking is not that hard. You simply have to park 200 meters away in the city parking garage multi level and no hill. Instructions to that garage would be helpful, it’s 20-25E a day :)

You immediately feel this place is special. Lovely refurbished house, turned hotel, with some elements dating back to the 1500's. Charming garden (with a small heated pool). Very impressed, thank you for our stay!

This place was a let down, pics didn’t do it right and we had problems. Room was dingy, dark, and so loud at night we had to wait til 1am when the band stopped to sleep, then an hour later the AC buzzed and turned off for the rest of the night. I couldn’t get it to turn back on so it was a sleepless night. Breakfast was less than desirable, and my AC complaint was met with insinuation that we turned it off ourselves. I didn’t want to waste another precious trip night there, so we booked elsewhere and it was the best decision. We went from a basic economy experience to business class. By moving to hotel away from commercial center and decided to upgrade to avoid another smoke and mirrors booking. I can see why this place has a two night minimum when booking.

If you want a gem of a place. Just a really nice place to rest and enjoy the town. This is it. The staff is wonderful. Very clean. And just really nice. It is my favorite place in Taormina. I found it last year and will not stay anywhere else.

We had the best stay! You can’t find a better location, and it’s surprisingly quiet tucked behind the main strip. The room was clean and spacious. Breakfast buffet was simple and satisfactory. Rohid went above and beyond many times for us in the 5 days we were there. With travel issues getting into the Catania airport, he was able to schedule a driver for us to the neighboring airports with short notice. They were also extremely accommodating for us as I required fridge storage for breast milk. I was able to text him questions throughout our stay and he suggested some great restaurants for us.

I stayed at Relais 147 for 2 nights to enjoy Taormina and Etna wine country. The setting was a beautiful oasis right off the main pedestrian street. There was a wonderful peaceful courtyard and my room was generously sized with a very nice semi-private enclosed deck. Breakfast was included and was very good with lots of baked goods, some fruit, and eggs. Unfortunately, my trip started with delayed luggage at Palermo airport. I was having issues coordinating the arrival and delivery of my luggage as I was moving around the island. Salvo, the owner, was amazing in helping out. He offered his contact with the airline and also phoned the baggage service to help coordinate it all, while I went off wine tasting. He recommended 2 great restaurants to eat at during my stay and both were less touristy than the main strip options with authentic food. I would absolutely recommend staying at Relais 147 and plan to return in the future.

This b b was located directly off corso umberto with quick access to all that taormina offers. The breakfast was full and delicious. They do a turn down service daily so if theres something you dont want disturbed i suggest you put it in your luggage.

Just make sure you know parking is difficult, the manger explained after but still didn’t understand till we arrived how difficult and you need to make sure you don’t miss the parking structure because it take 15-20 minutes to get around the town

The hotel was like a small oasis in the busy Main Street of Corso Umberto. The room was lovely with a small outside seating area. It could be noisy as it is on the Main Street but this did not adversely impact my stay and proximity to bars and restaurants was worth it for me

Très bien situé en plein cœur de Taormina, très charmant, aussi bien la chambre (avec une superbe terrasse) que la salle à manger ou l’extérieur, nous ne regrettons pas même si le prix est élevé

Amazing stay at Relais 147! What a beautiful place in the perfect location right at the center of Taormina, yet a tranquil oasis all day around even when Corso Umberto was full of vibrant life morning, noon and night. Our host Rohid with family was fantastic in every way in terms of service, recommendations of great restaurants and above all, a very gentle, nice kind and interresting persona. A great stay all together and we recommend a stay at Relais 147 full heartedly! Johan & Veronica

The parking is not that hard. You simply have to park 200 meters away in the city parking garage multi level and no hill. Instructions to that garage would be helpful, it’s 20-25E a day :)

I stayed at Relais 147 for 2 nights to enjoy Taormina and Etna wine country. The setting was a beautiful oasis right off the main pedestrian street. There was a wonderful peaceful courtyard and my room was generously sized with a very nice semi-private enclosed deck. Breakfast was included and was very good with lots of baked goods, some fruit, and eggs. Unfortunately, my trip started with delayed luggage at Palermo airport. I was having issues coordinating the arrival and delivery of my luggage as I was moving around the island. Salvo, the owner, was amazing in helping out. He offered his contact with the airline and also phoned the baggage service to help coordinate it all, while I went off wine tasting. He recommended 2 great restaurants to eat at during my stay and both were less touristy than the main strip options with authentic food. I would absolutely recommend staying at Relais 147 and plan to return in the future.

This place was a let down, pics didn’t do it right and we had problems. Room was dingy, dark, and so loud at night we had to wait til 1am when the band stopped to sleep, then an hour later the AC buzzed and turned off for the rest of the night. I couldn’t get it to turn back on so it was a sleepless night. Breakfast was less than desirable, and my AC complaint was met with insinuation that we turned it off ourselves. I didn’t want to waste another precious trip night there, so we booked elsewhere and it was the best decision. We went from a basic economy experience to business class. By moving to hotel away from commercial center and decided to upgrade to avoid another smoke and mirrors booking. I can see why this place has a two night minimum when booking.

We loved the charming hotel: very nice room with a huge terrace, Rahid the manager was quite attentive, nice breakfast, garden with hot tub, 2 hammocks and an outdoor eating area was very nice. Reason for the overall 4 stars was there was a nightclub close by that plays very loud music till midnight every night. Hard time sleeping till they stopped.

We had the best stay! You can’t find a better location, and it’s surprisingly quiet tucked behind the main strip. The room was clean and spacious. Breakfast buffet was simple and satisfactory. Rohid went above and beyond many times for us in the 5 days we were there. With travel issues getting into the Catania airport, he was able to schedule a driver for us to the neighboring airports with short notice. They were also extremely accommodating for us as I required fridge storage for breast milk. I was able to text him questions throughout our stay and he suggested some great restaurants for us.

The service was excellent. The property has amazing history- 300 year old building! Many interesting nooks and crannies. The garden area was just lovely. A great respite from Via Umberto chaos. The breakfast was abundant and good. The two drawbacks were the noise from the busy street until midnight- but there are rooms that don’t suffer that. Ask for one. The second was the Oder in the bathroom. Probably related to the age of the building. But, it was good value. Great location.

Lovely large rooms right in the middle of Taormina, but nice and peaceful once in the garden. Friendly welcome from Rohin and all the team are friendly and helpful. Yes you will hear noise from the street early in the morning, but for a couple of days, that's fine. You're in one of the busiest tourist spots you'll ever visit. We would stay again. Great value for the location.
