Hotels near Fontana di piazza Duomo in Taormina

Taormina is a real Sicilian gem overlooking the breath-taking coast line and the magnificent volcano Etna. Like every touristic top destinations also in Taormina the amount of hotels and B&B it’s simply impressive and the quality of the service is not always comparable to the hotel rates. I found this hotel a great compromise between reasonable price, nice bedrooms, great location and stunning view. What makes a difference in my opinion tho is the front desk staff together with their colleagues of the breakfast team and all the other friendly and serious pro I met during my stay in this hotel. As a skilled traveller and tour operator with thousands night spent in hotels in the last 25 years I’d say that there are few minor details I’d change or fine tune to be a full 4 stars but a big shoutout to Annalisa, Giovanni, Nicoletta and all the other top staff members - sorry guys I don’t remember all the names but you were all at the top. I found Annalisa and the colleagues very professional, kind, ready to give the right suggestions, expert and always friendly. As a former hotel manager I would have been very happy to work with them, you all really made a difference See you soon. Grazie 🙏🏼

I arrived at the hotel late and was directed to my room. 5 minutes later the bedroom phone rang. I answered and it was Antonio from reception saying that although the restaurant had closed, they had prepared a plate of food for me! Off I went to be presented with a gorgeous plate of various foods including pizza, chicken brest, fish, sald, eggs. Delicious and excellent service. Throught my week long stay, the staff were very courteous and supplied great service. The food was delicious and varied. At breakfast, there was a great deal of choice from cereals and yoghurts to eggs, cheese, ham and breads. Fruit juice and water was available along with coffees and tea. The hotel itself is Sicilian in style, clean and confortable (especially the bed). It sits adjacent to the cable car which takes you up into Taormina. I was a bit dubious about going on it at first because I was very nervous but I actually enjoyed the journey (I went on it three times to see the quaint town of Taormina). This preetty town has loads of history and I highly recommend the gardens and the ancient theatre. As a female solo traveller, there were no issues - Sicilians are the friendliest of people - and I was totally comfortable sitting in a bar sampling one of the local wines and dining by myself. Villa hotel Bianca is the ideal place from which to explore. Isola Bella is a few hundred metres up the road. I did it early in the morning but be aware that there are 140 steps down, which means 140 steps back up! Luckilly, there is a bar opposite where you can grab something to quench the inevitable thirst! A bit further down the bay, you can hire a boat - Davide was the skipper when I went. It was amazing and he anchors the boat so you can jump in for a swim. A beautiful part of the world.#I also ventured to Siracusa and Ortigia where you can see both Apollo's Temple and Athena's Temple (now a cathedral). I had lunch in Ortigia, which was fantastic. All in all, this hotel was perfect. Antonio on reception was fabulous, along with the whole staff and it is a great location, whether you want to lounge around on the beaches or whether you want to go further afield to explore the surrounding areas. Also, you can easuily get to Messina from here to get the ferry across to Calabria. I would definitely go back to this hotel. Thank you Hotel Billa Bianca.

Hays travel were the only travel company who would bend to our needs. That was a hotel, half board for 2 weeks and then a delayed return flight of one week so we could sail around the volcanic islands north of Sicily. Lovely country Sicily, the people, if you try their lingo, they love it and help and encourage you contantly. The Hotel Caparena was chosen because it was half way between the airport and marina we sailed from. What a fabulous hotel it was too, we shall return. Quite small with plenty of staff. The premises were immaculate, the buffet breakfast suited everyones needs and the dinner was 4 courses of food that I have not experienced before, so Italian/Sicilian. The menu lasted for two nights only and then completely replaced. In the two weeks the menus were never repeated in the same order. We were the only English there which is probably why the standard was so high, full of italians so it was. Never saw a chip or french frie! Beach excellent, lifeguards too. There was a free hotel bus to the nearest town, Taomina, what a beautiful town, it made our home City of York look sad. We used the local trains as well, easy when Italian and English is spoken on the tannoy system. Great hotel, great country, well worth the visit

The hotel is very good, the swimming pool is very good, the breakfast is rich, the scenery is very good

Please do not go unless you value incredible views and fantastic customer service. Yes, the rooms are tired , outdated, shower is ridiculously small, pillows are lumpy,however, what more than makes up for that is first class customer service, views and yes views again. Cleanliness,really good. Pool area, well again probably due an update but again fantastic views. Thank you everyone who made my holiday so fabulous. I have been to Sicily a few times before, and especially loved it this time due to the unique setting. Unless I wanted to explore the east side of Sicily on my next visit I would definitely book this hotel again. Solo travelling and not put out the back, single room with balcony and sea views
