Al Settimo Cielo del Paradiso In Taormina

While not a “5 star” hotel, I still give it 5 stars. It was just what I needed. It was clean, lovely views, convenient location to the heart of Taormina, and staff was so friendly. Truly felt like I was staying with family. While there is no direct beach, the hotel offers a shuttle to a private beach and provides towels. The breakfast was quite tasty (I loved the complimentary pistachio cream that was provided). There is also valet parking with a loading dock outside the hotel). FYI the parking and beach shuttle were are not complementary but worth the convenience.

My wife and I have a particular fondness for rooftop terrace bars and this one did not disappoint. The staff was lovely and looked after us in our giddy anniversary celebratory mood. Highly recommend a visit to this lovely spot for a romantic drink with a beautiful view.

I can honestly say that this was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Sicily. The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is located perfectly between ancient ruins and small Michelin star restaurants. It is well worth the trip up the mountain, which can be a wild taxi ride. The views from the room are absolutely stunning, you can easily see the coastline and mount Etna.

Fabulous hotel located in the beautiful hills of Taormina overlooking gorgeous views of the sea, countryside and Mt Etna which was amazing. You also had the views at breakfast and the bar area on the sixth floor which was lovely. Beautiful cafes, bars and restaurants located nearby. Lovely helpful staff whose knowledge of what to do in and around town was most helpful, they booked the mini opera for us which we really enjoyed! Little tip for future travellers, get the bus up the hill when travelling to the venue. Do NOT try and walk up that hill and up that path from the train station with your luggage. Luckily we did it coming down to get to the station for our next transfer but it was quite the experience coming down! We spend 7 euros getting the bus from the airport coming in and it dropped us at the bus station in town. From there it was about a 15-20 mins walk but you’re already up the hill at least. Great trip, wonderful place! Hope to visit again!

Strategic location that allows you to move to the center easily, clean rooms with wonderful panoramic views, plentiful and well-organised breakfast but above all very kind, helpful and welcoming staff.

Really nice place with amazing views
