Historic palazzo retreat overlooking Sicily's coastline
Perched on a rocky ridge with stunning views over Naxo beach, Excelsior Palace occupies a stately 19th-century palazzo on the edge of Taormina's historical centre. This delightful hotel strikes the perfect balance between historic charm and comfort, making it ideal for couples seeking a scenic base for Sicilian adventures.
The hotel's exotic gardens create a peaceful atmosphere, while the outdoor pool offers a refreshing spot to unwind with panoramic vistas. Inside, the blend of classic architecture and updated touches continues throughout the property, with a TV lounge for relaxed evenings and an indoor pool providing additional swimming options year-round. Dining is a pleasure, with a restaurant, breakfast room, and a convenient poolside snack bar for daytime refreshments.
Rooms are stylishly appointed with amenities including air conditioning and Wi-Fi. For those seeking something special, The Etna room features a French balcony with spectacular views of both Mount Etna and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea.
This scenic haven combines old-world elegance with comforts, all within easy reach of Taormina's attractions. Please note: due to the charming but narrow lanes of Taormina, guests may need to use a smaller shuttle bus for the final approach to this hillside retreat.
