Hotel Villa Belvedere

Location Pool

Steep driveway but the staff takes your car out and in

Clean, good location, amazing view and very professional staff

Mixed experience Hotel is in a beautiful place with views over the sea Our first room was rustic and a little dated made worse by the mosquitoes (the cleaners left the doors open) we moved to a much more swish room (9) modern and luxurious Breakfast was good, lunch fabulous - caprese and pasta but they didn’t serve dinner Reception friendly especially on check in when they wanted us to book a boat tour A bit disorganised on check out and on booking a dinner reservation for us which never happened We ended on a negative with taxi driver trying to rip us off Big row- despite us booking taxi through hotel to avoid complications Probably wouldn’t stay there again

Beautiful hotel, lovely staff and a tranquil location

This place is paradise on earth! Such a beautiful location, with terraced gardens that create stunning photo opportunities around every corner as a frame to amazing sea views. I cannot praise the staff - from the top down - highly enough. So friendly and helpful. As an odd numbered friend group, we really appreciated the upgrade to a suite for three of us, and the way the hotel was incredibly accommodating to all our needs. Breakfast and lunch was always delicious with loads of choice. I cannot wait to come back! Thank you Christian and all the Belvedere staff.

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the beautiful, peaceful Villa Belvedere for four nights at the end of May, visiting with four girlfriends. It was so welcoming from the very start, with prosecco on arrival, an introduction to the local sights with a map and recommendations. The manager gave us a fantastic upgrade so that three friends could share a spacious suite together. Every member of staff we met was warm and attentive, with a friendly "Buongiorno!": we felt like family. No request was too much, from making restaurant reservations to answering questions about the original artworks. From the balcony of my room on the top floor, we had a stunning view of the sea, Naxos Bay and the snow capped craters of Mount Etna. The hotel has terraces and delightful gardens brimming with flowers and trees offering shade so it was possible to find a tranquil spot, however hot the sun. We spent our days relaxing by the pool, enjoying the freshly cooked lunches from the pool side restaurant and then exploring the pretty, bustling streets of Taormina. Another bonus of the hotel is its location: we were able to walk to the neighbouring botanic gardens, an array of shops and restaurants and the famous amphitheatre whilst staying in a haven of calm each night. I can't give the hotel a bigger compliment than saying I'm already planning a return visit to this classy, charming corner of Taormina!
