The Experience
This lovely hotel has elegant charm and a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere – once through the gates the bustle of Taormina is behind you. Sitting pretty among the palms, citrus trees and subtropical planting, this feels more like a private garden retreat than an urban hotel. Family run since 1905 it has welcomed generations of guests with a gracious, unhurried style. Linger over an a la carte breakfast while you enjoy views across the Bay of Naxos, wander the botanical gardens, breathe in the scent of jasmine and citrus blossom.
Bedrooms vary in size and character, most have a private balcony, loggia or terrace looking over the gardens or the sea. Most have high ceilings and original-style cement tiles, while the Junior Suites have a lighter, airy feel with sun-drenched terraces. Find excellent orthopaedic beds, hypoallergenic duvets and a choice of pillows. Bathrooms come with generous rain showers or whirlpool baths.
In the evenings you can sit on a quiet terrace sipping an aperitivo as the light shifts over Mount Etna. The pace is slow and the views are unforgettable.

Wonderful stay in Paradise. The occasion of a big Birthday the staff and management of the hotel surprised and overwhelmed me as did the unexpected appearance of my daughters. Great position. View from room of Mediterranean and excellent of Etna from roof terrace. Excellent breakfast. Quiet clean and comfortable. Thanks to Luisa, Rosita in the restaurant ,Claudia in reception and Marco for garaging my car and of course the Main man in the office.

This hotel was simply magical!! The views are amazing, the staff were so helpful and welcoming. It was really lovely to have breakfast served on the terrace at at a leisurely pace. The choice of food was good, it was all fresh, and beautifully cooked and served. The terrace and the cool gardens mean it is possible to enjoy relaxing in a city hotel, such a joy! We will definately be back next year!!!

Location
The neighbourhood
Walk to the ancient Greek theatre, the gorgeous municipal gardens and Corso Umberto for shopping and cafés. Take a 20-minute taxi ride to Castelmola, a picturesque hilltop village with wonderful views. Excursions to Etna can be organised with local guides – taste the special wines at Barone di Villagrande and Murgo on the east side, or Gambino winery on the north side.
Local points of interest from Christine, Gerhard & Andrea Schuler
- Ancient Theatre: it's the most celebrated archaeological site in Taormina. Visit in the morning for the best light and enjoy breathtaking views across the Bay of Naxos to Mount Etna.
- Corso Umberto: just two minutes from the hotel, the main pedestrian street is lined with historic palazzi, cafés, and luxury boutiques, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll.
- Hidden Alleys: leave the main street and explore Taormina’s charming alleys, where flower-filled balconies, stone archways and hidden corners provide endless photographic opportunities.
- Public Gardens: Once the estate of English aristocrat Florence Trevelyan, these peaceful gardens offer exotic plants, sea views and charming Victorian follies.
- Madonna della Rocca: climb the historic staircase to this rock-hewn sanctuary for panoramic views over Taormina and the Ionian coast, then continue to picturesque Castelmola.
- Dining in Taormina: more than 80 restaurants are within walking distance, from family-run trattorias and pizzerias to fine dining and Michelin-starred experiences.

Introducing
Christine, Gerhard & Andrea Schuler
Late in the 19th century, Mr. Schuler’s great-great-grandfather travelled from Germany and built his house high above the Ionian Sea. He built on a grand scale and he chose the site well: the views of the Bay of Naxos and Mount Etna are gorgeous. When he died in 1905, Great-great Grandmama decided to let out some rooms and the villa has been a hotel ever since – a treat to stay.
Our third visit to this very special hotel. The views, the gardens the breakfast on the terrace looking out towards the sea and Etna - unforgetable! A warm welcome from the staff who all help to make your stay. The perfect, peaceful location to enjoy Taormina and explore - no need for a car as the local connections are excellent. History, culture and great food all just a short walk away. Longer hikes for the energetic too. Idyllic.
