HOTEL BEL SOGGIORNO, Taormina
About the Hotel
Hotel Bel Soggiorno - A family-run hillside hotel with panoramic sea views, terraced gardens, and homemade Sicilian breakfast
Overlooking the Bay of Naxos from a hillside below Taormina's historic center, Hotel Bel Soggiorno is a family-run 3-star property with panoramic terraced gardens, vintage Sicilian decor, and breakfast made from fresh local ingredients. Rooms at Bel Soggiorno include air-conditioning, work desks, TVs, and private bathrooms, with many offering balconies or terraces facing the sea toward Mount Etna; room 32 is a triple with a vaulted ceiling and sea views. A home-cooked breakfast is served each morning at Hotel Bel Soggiorno in a dining room and adjoining terrace overlooking the sea, with local pastries, tiramisu, eggs, meats, cheeses, fresh juices, and made-to-order coffee. Guests can use the bar, lounge, coffee house, sun terrace, and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. The property sits less than 1 km from the Taormina Cable Car Upper Station, 1 km from Isola Bella Beach, and about a 10- to 15-minute uphill walk from Corso Umberto via a roughly 60-step staircase and Florence Trevelyan park. The Greek Theater and Taormina Cathedral are within walking distance, and the hotel provides a tour desk and complimentary airport transfers to Catania. Services include a 24-hour front desk, concierge, express check-in/out, babysitting, family rooms, kids' meals, wheelchair-accessible rooms, and pet-friendly accommodation for small dogs. Valet parking and private check-in/out are available, and staff arrange trips to nearby beaches and local sights.
