Found Hotel Villa Angela on Booking.com which suggested it was rarely available. Having spent a lovely week there I can understand why. Such a lovely comfortable hotel set above main Taormina with fantastic views across to Mount Etna and the coastline. All the staff were really helpful and personable. Whilst set above the town they provide. Shuttle bus for a small fee. Breakfast was varied and I’d expect it would accommodate everyone’s needs. Whilst they don’t provide a restaurant service you can get snacks until late. There is a lovely restaurant nearby (book it), Al Saraceno. In main Taormina there is a lot of restaurant choices. Our room, was the smallest but still bigger than most other hotels in Taormina and includes your own balcony with table and chairs and sun loungers. I’d definitely stay again.

What a Wonderful way to spend a relaxing week. Hotel Villa Angel enjoys the most spectacular views over Mt Etna and the Town of Taormina as it sweeps down to the Ionian Sea. The Hotel is meticulously maintained and perfectly located. Rooms all have wonderful views and oversized balconies so that guests can take good advantage of the spectacular vista. Great Location Rooms all spotless and tastefully appointed. Excellent Breakfast and Delicious Lunch are served on the restaurant balcony well protected from the elements. Pretty Bar . Excellent staff; Ada , Charlie, GP at the front desk and Sam (and team) in the restaurant could not have been more helpful or efficient ; dealing with numerous requests with both good humour and expediency. Very Good Value for Money. Thank You !! S

This hotel is in a beautiful location in the mountains around Mount Etna, so there's always a wonderful view of the volcano and surrounding hills. Our welcome was warm, as was our treatment throughout our stay. On arrival we were very hungry but thankfully lunch was still being served so I had a toasted sandwich that totally hit the spot as I hadn't eaten in several hours! Bear in mind that while lunch is table service, breakfast is a buffet (ie: self-service) and the hotel restaurant doesn't serve evening meals (but there are some excellent dinner spots nearby, including one a couple of minutes walk up the road). Our room was very comfortable with a balcony. My only criticism is that they don't supply free bottled water in the room. They don't serve local tap water in the restaurant because they claim the quality isn't good (which is what we were told when we asked for it). When we were there, the weather was very hot and even though we had a mini bar in the room, we had to pay extra for the bottled water. I usually like to have some water by my bedside during the night, and if I'm told the local tap water isn't of good quality, then I'll need to rely on bottled water. The hotel is at the top of a very steep hill but they run a shuttle mini-bus (which you have to book and pay for) that can take you into Taormina and back. Otherwise, you can take a 10-15 min walk to town via some steps that start next to the Chiesa Madonna della Rocca. Mind you, if you walk into town and need a ride back, you can WhatsApp the hotel and arrange a pick-up (which we did a few times). If you're a fan of the band Simple Minds, then you'll enjoy the pieces of memorabilia that decorate the walls of the hotel in honour of the owner. We would definitely go back.

“Our return to this peaceful haven and just as good six years on”

It was fabulous to return to this small and unique hotel after six years. All the staff are warm and super efficient and the location is stunning - up on the hill above the bustling Taormina. Thank you to everyone who made our experience so wonderful once again, Marco and Christina.
