Located high up on the hillside, close to the funivia (cable car) station. We had a spacious room with a sea view and a huge terrace with little lemon trees. The hotel is very well maintained and cozy. It has a nice little patio and garden area, and you can enjoy an excellent breakfast outdoors. They serve also a complimentary... More

We stayed three nights in this lovely family run hotel in Taormina. Our room had a great view of the bay (I think all rooms have a view but you should check first). Well located with a short walk from all the main sights in town and nearby restaurants. Room was immaculately clean and well maintained. Breakfasts was great too.... More

This is a nicely appointed small hotel with parking and easy to reach. Close to bus (to get to Castelmola for example) and tram to get to the beach. Breakfast is super good...even eggs and bacon! Nice garden areas for sitting. Close to main Taormina shopping street and sights. Complementary bottle of wine. Staff is very helpful. Good rates for... More

Lovely family-run hotel in an excellent location. Nice room, small but very comfortable. Bathroom well equipped, good breakfast, very good bar service. Extremely helpful staff who carried our bags, served drinks in the garden room outside, answered questions in several languages. Free internet, and the pre-booked parking space was waiting for us. Beautiful little garden/terrace. And Taormina is so, so... More

So I booked the hotel reading good reviews from this site. I was not aware that the hotel did NOT have an elevator. When I checked in, we were offered for a room with view/balcony for 20 euros additional a night....it was on the top (5th) floor, without elevator, and we took the upgrade anyway. But being on the top... More

Taormina can be an expensive town so we found this hotel very comfortable and a good value option for 5 nights. We had two different rooms on our stay as we booked late and only had a sea view for 3 nights but both were nice and spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff here are very friendly and helped us...

Apart from the name which doesn't remind too much of Sicily, it is a great hotel to stay in Taormina. It is very simple with an excellent location, close to the city center and to the cable car that takes you to Isola Bella and other beaches. The staff was very cordial and welcomed us warmly still remaining very professional.... More

Pensione Svizzera was a delightful part of our 25th wedding anniversary trip. Warm welcome, and a standout breakfast in a light-filled conservatory style breakfast room. Also loved the afternoon teas laid on each day, great to come "home" to after wearing ourselves out wandering the streets of Taormina. Staff helpfully researched the best way to do the tiny Circumetnea train... More
