Hotel Villa Bianca In Taormina

I already knew Taormina, so I chose this hotel for its strategic location. The hotel is divided into two different buildings, one of which is reached either by stairs or a steep climb, and once you arrive, there's no elevator to take you to the upper floors. While you'll be greeted kindly at reception, the restaurant depends on where you're coming from. The wait staff, especially the brown-haired gentleman, were only polite to a few people, but very rude to us. Be careful when swearing, as Italians understand them very well and you risk administrative violations. Breakfast, in my opinion, was well-stocked but could be improved in quality. Dinner, however, is a plus, with its ever-changing selection. The room was small but clean and had a great view. It's a shame there's no bidet. We're still in Italy, at least we have a bidet!

Clean rooms, good food in the dining room, and you can book excursions from Sicily at reception. I've been coming here every year since 2012! Clean rooms, good food in the dining room, and the possibility of booking excursions from Sicily at reception. I'll be back every year since 2012!

This was a lovely hotel with really helpful, friendly staff. I went half board and the food was really good and it only cost me an additional £80 for the week- well worth it if you are on a budget. I am single and felt very happy and safe going everywhere on my own. The hotel is one of he best Ive been to. Only things to watch is the pool is in a hotel 5 mins walk up the road(this was no problem for me) and the wifi is not great -can only get in the lobby and up on the roof terrace-not in your room. )overall a brilliant experience X

We were greeted by a very helpful and friendly gentleman at Reception who automatically gave us a map of the area and circled various places of interest. He wrote down times of opening/closing and costs. Unfortunately, we were given a room in a separate part of main Hotel where we had to take the lift to the 5th flr . Come out onto the rooftop walk down a metal staircase and then we were faced with exactly 💯 stairs to climb to our room (each way!!!) Considering our ages my partner being 71 and awaiting a knee replacement. I was a little shocked to say the least. When we got to our (very basic but clean) room, there were no tea/coffee facilities, no mini fridge and the shower was not a walk in one but one where you had to climb into a bath. Which wasn't easy for my partner. When I questioned re: fridge i was told they had been taken out of all the rooms this year!! Not good in 36-38 deg temps On a plus the views were amazing and all staff friendly and helpful(although no other rooms were available). Struggled and had to plan every day as we were climbing approx. 600 steps per day as well as all the walking we did

Room a little dated but clean and comfortable.

Good for being in Mazzerò (it seems better to me to stay in the center and not near the sea, than I have not been.

Excellent location, very close to the beach, next to the funicular and the bus stop

Nice hotel with good value for money and a very friendly breakfast waiter.
