Metropole Taormina Maison d'Hotes

The best restaurant in Taormina is Hotel Metropole Taormina Restaurant & Bar!!! It is a cosy place locates in an ancient building with the beautiful view on the sea. When you enter the lobby, you immediately feel the friendly, cosy atmosphere complemented by live music. First, we had cocktails as an aperitif and sat on the terrace enjoying the view, cocktails and everything around us. The cocktails were wonderful, beautifully presented, and the canapés were incredibly delicious and beautiful. Then we went to dinner at the restaurant located one floor below, but with the same stunning sea view. Sebastian helped us throughout the evening, both with the menu and presenting the dishes we chose. I am super impressed with both the dishes and their presentation. They were incredibly delicious. We also learned that a new menu and new dishes are developed every day, and these are not just meals, but works of art that are beautiful to look at and incredibly delicious. My pasta with mussels was amazing tasty, and the mussels were cleaned of their shells. Our dinner was complemented by delicious white wine. I also tried a dry orange wine, which was very tasty and unusual. Thank you to the team at the Metropol Hotel Taormina for their hospitality and a wonderful evening. You are the best!!! This is a place where you want to return again and again to enjoy the company, atmosphere and food.

Great location. Excellent view. Very attentive staff. Loved the terrace bar. The concierge was 10 on 10. A good place if you want to walk the streets and access the beach ( 5 minutes walk plus a cable car) Ambra was outstanding

This was a superb hotel located right in the heart of taormina. Stunning views from a beautiful terrace extremely relaxing . The infinity pool divine unfortunately advertised as an adults only hotel they allowed children in and along with some maintenance it wasn't perfect . I discussed this with the duty manager however and he totally understood my slight disappointment and compensated us for the inconvenience so all was well but just check before you book ! Room had a stunning view and was very clean with a super shower .

I’ve been vacationing the Amalfi Coast for a decade. This was my first time in Sicily and I can tell you Sicily and Italy are very different countries. I found Italy receives Americans better. Half the Sicilians in Taormina would prefer we aren’t there. So here’s the lowdown: The pool failed to open on time and service was delayed by hours multiple days. Not enough loungers for the guests. There’s only 25 rooms. Had 100 euros get wet and they refused to exchange my bill. They made me feel as if I was trying to give them a counterfeit euro. They had me run around from bank to bank on my vacation. Bank staff is non existent if you’re American. Unfortunately, this over shadowed my stay because the management did not get back to me for several days. Beyond frustrating, and ridiculous when this should be handled by the hotel, which had zero sympathy. Most of the staff is great the management is terrible. We expected better service or accommodation when you have an issue. The great things: The suite is gorgeous. 2 story loft with a killer shower and bathtub. The views are beautiful and relaxing, and the pool is perfect. Servers Carlo and both Giuseppes are incredible and entertaining. Very nice people! Take the time to say hello!! I tipped 20 euro to most staff members. Focus on the staff I suggested if you’re American. Angelique, the front desk manager is very sweet and easy to talk to should you have an issue. However, the manager is not familiar with customer service. Upon checkout I never received an itemized bill. Hold your receipts. They told me they threw my receipts out and charged me randomly for items that were not mine. An airport transfer is usually 75 euro this hotel charges 180. You can get a private service for 120.

Me and my family spent the afternoon at the terrace. We enjoyed the most breathtaking views of the bay with some Aperols, tapas and lobster pasta. Alessandro, Lucia and Carlo’s took care of us throughout the evening and made the evening magical. Great service!
