We've been to this hotel twice. What I like about this place is that it is very different. It was established by an artist whose imprint is all over the building, in the reception area, in the restaurant, etc. A very exuberant artist, almost partly provincial but very confident. We had a bay view which was fantastic. Frankly, I search... More

Although it was a little difficult to get to the hotel with a rental car, once we were there we had a wonderful time. The hotel is very clean, and the location was great. "Old" Giovanni was at the reception desk when we arrived and was at the desk anytime we needed something. He was extremely helpful. A very short... More

Nice and clean hotel with perfect view over the town. Very good value for money. I have been here twice and will probably come back again when lovely Siciliy is the goal. Taormina is still the nicest town and location on this island. This time it was more tourists, but they come usually in the middle of the day, while... More

We didn't really know what to expect since the reviews have been somewhat mixed. We arrived in a magnificent reception area (on floor 4) with art all over the place. It turns out that the hotel has hosted an art school a long time ago and all kind of ceramic sculptures, paintings and decorations are all over this spectacular hotel!... More

I did visit this hotel in medio july 6 years ago. Sicilia was not so well known destination in Norway neither none of my friends had been there, so I was pretty excited. Travelled with my mother who got it as a present. The room was small, but nice. Balcony was near the bar below, but we really did enjoy... More

Always stayed at the Vello D'Oro when visiting Taormina. The views are simply amazing and the location very central. Nice breakfast buffet with croissants to die for. Rooms are spacious and clean.The decor is very interesting and artistic with sculptors and paintings all around the hotel. Will definitely keep going back there.

I have stayed in this hotel twice. Rooms vary in size and decor, but are generally spacious. The building is full of artworks (paintings, sculptures...). Most of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, but some of the receptionists could be sent to a customer service course. And this had not changed during the four years there was between our...

Simple but clean rooms. The location is perfect: near the main street Corso Umberto, and with a big roof terrace with great views over Mount Etna, the Ionian Sea and the old Teatro Greco. Overall, staff was friendly and willing to help. However, communicating in English was somewhat difficult.

Centrally located in the middle of town, with a superb view over the sea, mount Etna and the Greek theater, but very noisy in the evenings due to live music from various surrounding bars (once until after 3:00 in the morning). You will also acoustically "participate" in the toilet "visitations" of all adjacent hotel rooms, and will be woke up... More
