Hotel Vello d'Oro

Tutto ottimo, ma non ho potuto parcheggiare l'auto nel posto riservatomi dall'hotel perche' un auto malamente parcheggiata mi impediva l'ingresso alla strada dell'hotel; il Comune ha disatteso le richieste di intervento dell'albergo. La bella terrazza è poco utilizzata. Non è la prima volta che scendo al Vello d'oro e mi sono trovato sempre bene. Non andate tutti al Vello doro, altrimenti io non trovo più posto!

Hotel Vello D'Oro is a charming older hotel with whimsical architectural touches, filled with unique artwork, right in the centre of Taormina. It is easy walking distance to numerous restaurants, shopping and historical sites. While the hotel should update its windows for sound insulation and energy efficiency, our room was clean, had a comfortable bed and the view from our balcony down to the town square, the sea and Etna were wonderful. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The scenic path to the church in the rock begins nearby and we also walked to the outstanding ancient theatre and wonderful Castelmola from the hotel. There is no need to move your car during your stay to see everything Taormina has to offer. If you are wanting to park at the hotel, reserve ahead for one of the few parking spaces and be prepared to squeeze your car into a tight spot after backing down a narrow one way street the wrong way. Better to park in the parking garage Porto Catania, take the garage elevator to the street level and walk to the hotel. Be prepared to lug your suitcase up steps within the town. This situation is not unique to this hotel in Taormina. All in all, we completely enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend this hotel.

Nice hotel, very central, just behind main square. First floor entrance with lift was a useful find!

The hotel was very beautiful and easy to find. It's right in the center of town so you're close to everything. My room had a beautiful terrace with a great view of the sea. They provide options to the beach which is nice because it is far . I didn't use it but can be convenient. I would definitely stay here again
