Terme Vigliatore hotels from RM247

"We travelled to Villa Sonia as a couple in our mid-30s for 6 days in early April, staying B&B in a Superior Room (Room 410). Location Centrally located in Castelmola, with shops and bars a 5-minute walk away—plenty to do nearby for relaxed days. The walk to Taormina took around 30 minutes down and 35 back up. We’re moderately fit and it was ~20°C, but the uphill stretch could be tough in hotter months. There’s a bus stop nearby (we didn’t use it), and a taxi from Taormina sea area cost €40. We rented a car and used the secure car park (€7/day). Staff The standout of our trip—every reception staff member was kind, approachable, and gave great recommendations with detailed maps. Breakfast staff were also friendly and attentive. Cleanliness Rooms were cleaned daily to a high standard. All areas, including the pool and breakfast space, were consistently spotless. Facilities The hotel has a charming feel. Our room had an incredible view of Mt Etna, a huge balcony, and a very comfortable bed. No kettle initially, but one was provided same day on request. The pool area was lovely to relax in, though too cold to swim in April. Pool bar closed off-season, but drinks/snacks available in the lobby. Food & Drink Breakfast was good, with a small but varied selection—special mention to the apple cake. We only had dinner once, but food, wine, and service were all great and well priced. Very good value. We would return in a heartbeat!!"

"I needed a place near the Milazzo waterfront and catamaran service to Aeolian islands. There was also a direct bus to the train station for €1,20 This hotel has a lovely breakfast buffet and the hostess makes a great cappuccino!"

"We had a challenging start. The entire beach was under construction due to a cyclone in January. We had no idea about this prior to our stay. When we arrived we had no hot water and it was only turned on the next day. The hot tub was not filled up initially and was not ready to go. Having said that, the apartment was fantastic for us. We were able to access the beach from some ramps made by the construction machines. The hostess was wonderful and very welcoming. She gave great advice for local activities and had several local delicacies waiting for us in the apartment. She was also very responsive to any of our requests. We had a lovely stay despite the rainy and cool weather. "

"Wonderful property with incredible menu. Gourmet dinner available in hotel or 3 minute walk to sister restaurant which is excellent for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was a treat. Wonderful staff - friendly and helpful. Wish we had more time at this hotel"

"We have stayed at the hotel a few times now. Fantastic location, good room and very nice breakfast. A very relaxing staff. "

"Great room. Beautiful manicured garden and amazing views from the room! "

"Nice place, stuff was very kindly."

"Location, funicular was excellent."

"Would not hesitate to stay here again. Not directly on the beach, but only a very short walk. I received a lovely warm welcome, and the room was just lovely. It had a very nicely furnished balcony, and a slight view of the ocean. The room and bathroom were extremely clean. I had a small refrigerator, and a room safe. There was also a dryer and the basic bath soaps etc provided. The bed was comfortable, the only thing being that it seems that they use a plastic bed cover to protect their mattresses under their sheets, and that felt a bit uncomfortable, but really glad they use one! The linens were very nice....nice thick bath towels. I did not partake in the breakfasts during my stay, but I did see the buffet, and it looked like they provided a very nice continental breakfast. Everyone there was so friendly and nice. No question or request was left unaddressed. A perfect stay!"
