"Amazing stay. The room and property were gorgeous and the view was even better. It was a short walk to restaurants and the main pedestrian street in Taormina. Just far enough away to be relaxing but close enough to be convenient. I highly recommend staying here!"
A verified traveller from Seattle stayed at Hotel Villa Belvedere
"I cannot fault the hotel. It’s situated in a beautiful spot above Taormina called CastelMola. The hotel is stunningly rustic with jaw dropping views of Mount Etna and the surrounding mountains. The hotel staff were so helpful, kind and fun. The hotel has a great breakfast and is two mins walk from CastelMola village which has great shops and a few lovely restaurants. I am so glad we stayed here rather in the heart of Taormina. It was just perfect. "
"Great hotel away from main town. To get to town you need to walk along road and then take cable car, or taxi. Water to swim is amazing, so clear and clean, I would recommend booties as is small stones which can be a little uncomfortable. Our room with balcony was large, shower and bathroom were small but worked. Breakfast was a good range however didn't change except for cake selection. Restaurant at hotel had plenty of options and was a beautiful setting. Loved our stay here."

"I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights with my older teenage son at the end of June and we had a fantastic time. It's very well located with a 3 minute walk into Taormina town plus a cliff side setting with amazing views down to the sea, across to mainland Italy and the wider area around Taormina.
Our room was a bit of a squeeze but they accommodated our request for two single beds, rather than a double, and it came with a fabulous view of the sea. The air con was highly appreciated due to the high temperatures and the room met all our basic needs. It was slightly dated but did not spoil the enjoyment of our holiday plus the beds were very comfortable and we slept well.
Breakfast was included and was buffet-style which suited us perfectly. The staff were mainly very helpful and polite - Giuseppe on the pool bar was excellent, all the reception staff were super helpful and polite, plus Nancy in the dining room was always smiling and happy to make me fresh coffees in the morning! They all spoke good English which we were thankful for.
We ate at the hotel restaurant once while we there, it was empty apart from us but the food was delicious and the service was efficient and friendly.
I would happily stay at the Splendid hotel again, if I'm ever lucky enough to be back in Taormina, and would highly recommend it based on all the above plus the reasonable cost. "

"The location is great, you are directly across from the beach. The bed linens are of a high count with excellent stitching. Staff is friendly, helpful and professional. The breakfast buffet is a masterpiece! Lastly, the room and hotel is very clean! No dust or grunge in corners. It is a well maintained hotel."
