The Experience

Late in the 19th century, Sig. Schuler’s great-grandfather travelled by coach 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 Grandmama decided to let out some rooms and the villa has been a hotel ever since. Though restored and brought up to date, it still has an old, elegant charm and a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere. Lavish organic breakfasts are served in the chandelier’d breakfast room or out on the terrace. Bedrooms vary; some have beautifully tiled floors, antique furniture and stone balconies; the more modern top-floor suites sport beamed ceilings and large terraces. All come with organic bed linen, jacuzzi showers heated by solar panels – it’s all super-eco – and views to gardens or sea. Hidden away behind a stone arch, in subtropical gardens scented with jasmine, is a delightful, very private little apartment; a path from here leads all the way to the town’s pedestrianised Corso Umberto.

Reviews

Marie-Clare, Malmesbury

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.


Robert, Shrewsbury

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!!!

  • 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.
