Hotel Elios

Perched in Taormina’s historic quarter, this compact beach hotel sits steps from Corso Umberto and a short walk to the Greek Theatre and Taormina Cable Car. Enjoy quick access to Villa Comunale, the Roman Odeon and views toward Mount Etna. Family-friendly and pet-friendly with a private beach and easy links to local sights.

Owner-run and cosy, the property has 22 air-conditioned rooms—singles to quadruples—decorated in soothing colors. Many rooms are airy with sea views and conveniences like minibars, safes and desks; bathrooms include bidets and hair dryers. A large terrace overlooks the Gulf of Giardini Naxos and Mount Etna for memorable sea‑view moments.

Head down to the private beach or soak up the terrace views. On-site perks include an outdoor tennis court, bicycle rentals and access to a local diving club. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, concierge and babysitting (surcharge) keep things easy—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and hit the town.

Practical touches for travelers: a computer station, express check-in and limo/town car service. Roundtrip airport shuttles and train station pick-up are available for a surcharge.

Grab a snack or casual bite at the snack bar/deli, sip cocktails at the bar/lounge, or order room service during limited hours. Full breakfasts are served daily (fee), and traditional local trattorias nearby highlight authentic Sicilian flavors.
