Villa Diodoro  

Perched on a hillside above Taormina, with sweeping views over the Bay of Naxos and Mount Etna. A short walk from Villa Comunale, Palazzo Corvaja and the lively Corso Umberto, this romantic, family-friendly hotel puts you close to the Ancient Theatre and the town’s top sights.

Rooms are spacious, elegant and serene, with minibars, flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms; some rooms face Mount Etna or the Bay of Naxos and air conditioning is seasonal. The property mixes classic Sicilian style with modern touches, and offers a panoramic sun terrace and an on-site Technogym for a polished stay.

Dive into the outdoor panoramic pool (May–Oct) or let the kids loose in the children’s pool, then soak up sun on the terrace and pool loungers. Spa treatments, a fitness room, two bars (including a summer pool bar), concierge, room service, complimentary breakfast, free Wi‑Fi and complimentary parking keep stays easy, and from May to September a daily shuttle grants access to a private pebble beach at Caparena.

Meeting and conference rooms are available, plus wireless Internet access and 24-hour reception to support events and small corporate needs.

An elegant à la carte restaurant serves Sicilian and international dishes with regional flavors, complemented by an on-site café and two bars. Complimentary breakfast is included to start your mornings before exploring the coast.
