“Simply one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in. The breakfast was outstanding - the most abundant array of delicious products and we were lucky enough to get a balcony seat one morning. We ate in all the restaurants and the food was exquisite throughout. Our room was absolutely beautiful.”
Foi Boa, porém não voltarei antes de ficar no Belmond !

“We booked a large balcony suite and were given the absolute best room with the not amazing view of Taormina and the pool and garden area. Our balcony was larger than most and we will definitely be returning and requesting the same room. The bathroom and shower was enormous. The staff looked after me and my elderly mother and we can’t fault this place at all. We dined at Rosso for dinner and it was so delicious. The entire grounds are divine and the infinity pool is nice but is way too busy during the day with people just standing there drinking. They don’t really swim. What more can I say..it was worth every penny and we will definitely be returning.”
Fantastic stay on occasion of birthday

“My wife and I just returned from celebrating my wife's birthday with a five-day stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Taormina, and I can honestly say it was among the best hotel experiences we have ever had. From the very first email exchange to the moment we checked out, every detail was handled with warmth, precision, and genuine care. The quality of service at this hotel is outstanding. Every member of staff we encountered, from housekeeping to the bell team, greeted us with a smile and made us feel truly welcome. A special mention must go to Francesco in particular and the other from the team at Rosso, the hotel's breakfast restaurant. Morning after morning, they went out of their way to make our breakfasts feel personal and special, remembering our preferences and always checking in with a smile and genuine warmth. Their attentiveness set the tone for the rest of each day, and we are enormously grateful to them. Before we even arrived, the concierge team was fantastic in helping me to plan the trip. They offered thoughtful restaurant recommendations tailored to our tastes, and the standout suggestion by far was Trattoria Rosso DiVino, which turned out to be an absolute gem and one of the best meals we had. Their local knowledge and willingness to put together a bespoke itinerary made all the difference in making our stay feel effortless. We also treated ourselves to a (couples') spa treatment during our stay, and it was every bit as relaxing and rejuvenating as we had hoped. The spa team created a calm, luxurious environment that was the perfect complement to our busy days of sightseeing. Ahead of our arrival, I mentioned a small extra wish: that we might be allocated a suite in the old convent part of the hotel with a bathtub, as my wife loves to take a bath. Not only did the hotel accommodate this request, but the suite itself exceeded every expectation. It was fantastic in every respect, full of character and charm, and the bathtub was the perfect touch for unwinding in the evenings. It meant so much that the team listened to this small request and delivered on it so beautifully. One of the loveliest surprises of our stay was the welcome treat waiting for us in the room: a personal note and gift from the general manager, a bottle of local sparkling wine, chocolates, and fresh fruit. It was such a thoughtful and generous gesture that instantly made us feel like valued guests rather than just another reservation. All in all, we simply had an amazing stay. Between the exceptional staff, the wonderful food, the beautiful suite, and the many thoughtful touches, the Four Seasons Hotel Taormina made this birthday celebration truly unforgettable.”
Wow, Wow and Wow

“This Hotel is paradise. The views are too die for, the gardens devine,the internals go backs hundreds of years, so the experience is magnificent , but it’s the team that runs this Hotel that makes it so special. Every team member is just perfect, caring and looking to make your visit memorable . Should you have the opportunity to stay in Taormina, you must stay here, you will not be disappointed”
