The suite of rooms we had was excellent. The view from the terrace was breathtaking. Breakfast was very good and Mario the waiter was a lovely gentleman with lots of stories to tell. Isolabella is beautiful and the spectacular town of Taormina can be accessed easily by the cable car only a few metres from the hotel. Althouth the location... More

I can't recommend this hotel strongly enough! I spent a week in Sicily, and originally booked another hotel in isola Bella, but was so disappointed that I went searching for an alternative the night that I arrived.

I really enjoyed my stay at this Hotel. I loved my room which was down the street away from the main part of the hotel but attached to Level 1. It was big and roomy with a decent size balcony. The manager was more than accommodating whilst there and I enjoyed using the WIFI system. But the best accolades must... More
