Well this is a strange one, But if you have been to Taormina, You will understand, The whole town, is built up the side of a mountain, With roads that make the Swiss Alps seem Flat !!!. When we found what we thought was the Hotel Villa Greta, All we saw was a small garden gate, and a pretty crummy... More

Villa Greta is an excellent budget hotel in Taormina. The staff were friendly & helpful and our room was spotless. The view from our balcony across the town & of Mt. Etna was sensational. The hotel is sited on several levels on a steep site and so sadly is not suitable for any one with walking problems. We pre-booked car... More

I have travelled extensively in over 100 countries and rarely give a negative review but this site is all about honesty so I must speak the truth. Due to an emergency with a sick pet at home I had to change my plans and travel alone so I booked Room 23 at Hotel Greta. I took the bus from Catania... More

Parking is scarce near the hotel, rather difficult. On the first day of my stay , I got only real cold water for washing / showering. After my complaint, a presumptive repair was implemented, result : on the second day I only got boiling hot water out of the tab and the shower. So for 2 days no shower, hand... More

It is a hill climb from Taormina. We were on foot or by bus/train only. You can take discontinuous stairways down into town. The views of the ocean. The city and Mt. Etna are staggeringly beautiful. The dining room offers wonderful views as do the terraces. Owners very pleasant and helpful. We had a similar problem to one I already... More

It's almost 5/5, except for a small room, and very challenging street parking - you cling to the wall, and hope your car won't get damaged overnight. A view from the small balcony is incredible; the restaurant, where the view is just as good, has just a few tables, and the cooking shows a lot of attention to detail; compared... More
