Splendid Hotel Taormina

Nestled among rocks and mountains, Splendid Hotel Taormina overlooks the Ionian Sea and Calabrian coast, just a short stroll from Taormina’s charming town center and a three-minute walk to Corso Umberto’s main street. It offers a seasonal outdoor pool and shiatsu treatments.

Set in a former monastery, the rooms are simple and functional, with most featuring panoramic sea or pool views. All include free WiFi, a TV, and a private bathroom.

Elevators go up to the third floor, where the pool area is located, and continue to the spacious rooftop terrace, which offers views of two regions and the Mediterranean Sea. Inside, the piano bar serves drinks with mellow background music.

Nearby highlights include the iconic Greek Theatre, where you can see Mount Etna, and the 13th-century Duomo Cathedral. Private parking is available on request.
