Hotel Panorama di Sicilia

Perched in the hilltop village of Castelmola, a few minutes' drive from Taormina and its cable car. Steps from Castelmola Castle and the Church of San Nicolo di Bari, with sweeping views toward Mount Etna and the Ionian coast. Pet-friendly and centrally located for exploring Corso Umberto and nearby Taormina sights.

Simply furnished, clean and airy rooms with a classic feel. Most rooms have private balconies; 11 double rooms offer sea and Mount Etna views from the balconies while four doubles do not. Private bathrooms often include separate tubs and showers, complimentary toiletries and bidets. The building is mature (around 40 years old) but prized for its unique, panoramic outlook.

Soak up the vista on a rooftop terrace and a panoramic terrace facing Etna. On-site restaurant, lounge and a bar keep evenings easy, with room service available. Complimentary Wi-Fi and free self-parking simplify stays. Wake up to Mount Etna silhouettes and, on clear days, sea-breeze mornings.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout. Luggage storage, express check-out and a safe-deposit box available at the front desk.

The restaurant serves traditional, homemade Sicilian cuisine and the bar/lounge pours local wines and drinks. A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily (often enjoyed on the panoramic terrace); room service is offered as well.
