Good location, walking distance to the main street shops and restaurants. Room is small, breakfast is Ok, not many options and not refill after 9:30am. Parking costs 30€ in the nearby hotel.
Great location in Taormina. Away from the heavily touristy area, but a close walk away. Beautiful old hotel with incredible breakfasts and a staff that can't be beat. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again. It's an old hotel so the room and shower were small.
The room had great views of the water and was close to the cable car ride down to the beach areas, and a short walk into town and the theatre antique ( which is amazing) Tge staff was wonderful and the included breakfast too👍
Loved our stay here

The staff was amazing! Our server Mario was so helpful in arranging a dinner reservation for us serving us happy hour as well as an amazing breakfast. The front desk was very helpful and friendly as well. We loved the location of this hotel as it is in walking distance to the main city center. Our only note was that the bedding was very thin and our mattresses were not the most comfortable as the queen needed to be replaced because it was dipping significantly in the middle. Also the bathroom needed some updates as there was some trim pieces on and around the shower that looked mildewy.
Nice location 5mins walk from start of Corso Umberto, without having to climb steps.
The Good: very helpful reception staff, great views, clean room, ok breakfast.
The Bad: extremely tiny bathroom and 3x3 foot shower stall impossible to turn or bend.
The Ugly: hotel keeps old fashion keys with room numbers openly hanging near the reception front door. Anyone can walk in and take your key! Put them behind the reception desk, please.

Pros: Good location; convenient to old town and sites. My room has spectacular sea view and a big private deck to sunning. The breakfast is great and also on a terrace with lovely views. The room itself is clean with comfy bed and sheets. Cons: Two flights of stairs down from street to reception. The bathroom is small, dated with stained tiles and not super clean. The whole hotel is a little dated. At 7 am, the cleaning people in the room above was loud (moving furniture, etc) and woke me up so the rooms are not very noise proof.
We had a very enjoyable stay here and would highly recommend. Positioned close to everything Taormina has to offer, the staff were wonderfully helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable with superb air conditioning which was definitely needed during our extremely hot stay. The room was serviced daily to a high standard and the whole property was clean. Breakfast was served either outside on the beautiful terrace or inside in the anir-conditioned breakfast room. The options on offer were excellent.
The hotel offers a private parking space if you have a car with you which although expensive at €35 per 24hrs was convenient and saves you faffing around!
The hotel has a great location. Our room was decent size with a somewhat smaller bathroom, but overall nice. Expect classic, a bit outdated interiors - but all clean and fine.
Breakfast was very nice and staff very helpful.
My only comment is about safety - we could enter the reception area multiple times (where room keys are easily reachable) with nobody at the desk.
Overall, I can recommend the hotel and was happy there!
My wife and I stayed at Hotel La Pensione Svizzera during our honeymoon in Sicily, and we had an absolutely wonderful experience from beginning to end!
First and foremost, the hospitality here was exceptional. Every single staff member we interacted with was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Whether it was answering our questions, helping us arrange transportation from the airport, or simply making sure we were comfortable throughout our stay, the entire team consistently went above and beyond.
Our sea-view room was beautiful, with an incredible view of the ocean and a spacious balcony where we loved spending our mornings enjoying the scenery. The hotel also had such a convenient location, making it easy to explore Taormina and walk to many of the city's attractions, restaurants, and shops.
We also appreciated the little details that made our stay even more special. During the unexpected rainy weather, the hotel had umbrellas readily available for guests, which was incredibly thoughtful and convenient. They also made us feel special during our honeymoon and gave us a lovely lemon gift to take home as a remembrance of our stay. Such a kind and personal touch!
What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is its people. Every person we encountered at the front desk was genuinely kind, patient, and attentive. Their hospitality made an already beautiful destination even more memorable.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience during our honeymoon. We
This hotel is beyond worth the stay! My husband and i stayed there for two nights and we fell in love with everything from the service to the people, they were just so hospitable and i can not say enough about the breakfast.. the best from all our stays in Sicily. We stayed in the suite and the room is was beautiful and the terrace view was beyond.. we loved it!! They do not have parking for cars included, but they do have two parkings in front of the hotel and with an extra charge and if your lucky to find it available its yours.. we were lucky and for 30.00 a day we parked our car literally in front of the hotel across the street. Thank you for making our 34th anniversary one to never forget.
Charming hotel with lovely views, friendly staff, very clean and comfortable. Great location, very nice breakfast and happy hour on the terrace.
Would definitely recommend to all!
This perfectly located bed and breakfast was incredible! Just a few blocks from via Umberto (shopping and dining), the cable car that transports you to Isola Bella and from the bus stop that transports you to the train station and the beach, it's the place to stay if you're relying on mass transportation! Additionally, the room was brand new, bright and clean! The staff, most notably Antonella was so very helpful and passionate in her profession creating for us a 48-hour agenda which included getting the most amazing pictures of Mt. Etna from a town three miles North, to reserving a 2-hour 10-person boat excursion from Naxos around Isola Bella and back, such a great day! Most notable was the extravagant daily breakfast (really felt like brunch!) with all the Sicilian favorites and friendly staff preparing fresh baked goods and stewed veggies and bruschetta right in front of us!
