Baia Taormina Hotel

"We have had seven nights here in the Bai Taormina Hotel where the friendly staff make you feel part of the family, which encourages the guest to mingle and chat and spend the evenings together. There is a wonderful singer most evenings but she is not overly loud. The food is all local Sicilian specialties made from scratch in house with a very wide selection of savoury vegetables and pastas and three fresh fish and three meats grilled to your liking. There is an equally impressive spread for breakfast. All presided over by Maitre Dhotel Leo Grasso who went out of his way every evening, to make it special for all the guests including ourselves even organising a vegan birthday cake. You will probably need a car if you stay here it’s about 6 km outside of Taormina itself and you will want to explore the rest of this side of Sicily. It’s also built into the side of a hill with the hotel on three or four different layers with three or four different lifts taking you up and down the hill side and up and down the hotel. This elevation gives you the panoramic views of the bay whilst eating breakfast or the sparkling lights of Taormina in the distance whilst having your evening meal. Did I forget to mention the coffee? easily the best decafinato I have ever tasted and they don’t even charge for it, with breakfast or the half board we enjoyed. I can’t recommend this lovely hotel enough when I visit Sicily this will be where i will be staying. Well done to all the staff here showing much more expensive hotels how it should be done!"

"Visit was awesome. Staff was warm and welcoming. A special haul out to Federica Palma who has a voice of a Nightingale and a beautiful smiling soul. We loved hearing her sing. She made the evening, very vibrant and fun filled. We would look forward to coming back to the hotel and just chill in the courtyard because of Federica. God bless her."

"Sanny is the best! Fabulous bartender & can’t wait to drink tomorrow! The views are stupendous! The staff is wonderful!"
