Furnari Hotels

"Great place. Fantastic views."

"This hotel is located in a very strategic location on the corso umberto.. Within walking distance of many restaurants and sights."

"It’s a small little boutique hotel with about six or eight rooms on two floors. They are super nice and super well appointed with everything you need and a nearby grocery store and a laundromat which came in very very handy. There’s also a rooftop bar adjacent to the property, which has the best views in the city and good drinks at a reasonable price. Then it’s a short 3 minute walk downhill to the main drag where all the shops and people are. It’s obviously uphill back to the hotel but nothing too tough. Would highly recommend this place to anyone that’s visiting the area."

"Good location, parking extra, costs 20 euro per night"

"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!!"

"Just had a fabulous 4 night stay. From the moment we walked into the hotel, all staff were so welcoming and you could just tell they were proud to work at the hotel. Rooms were clean & tidy, breakfast was fresh with plenty of choice. The pool and roof terrace with spectacular views was the icing on the cake. It’s located in the perfect spot just off the Main Street with everything in walking distance. "

"The location was good, walking distance to antic theater and tram to Isolla Bella. Near restaurants and souvenir shops. The breakfast was good. The breakfast was served on a terrace with a view to the ocean, very nice view. They have valet parking for $20 Euros. Service is good, they are attentive. We stayed on an apartment just outside the hotel. The apartment was spacious. However, it was dated. We had one good day with internet and one bad day. They switched our router, the one on the first router was better, much faster. The apartment had central heating that did not work. But, it did have a heater like individual AC for each of our rooms and the living room. The Heat system in our room made very loud noises every hour or so. It woke me up at 3 AM one night. All and all it was ok. The highlight was the breakfast on the terrace. The worst was the noise heater and the internet in our second day. "

"Driving a large sedan car is complicated in Taormina! The staff was very helpful in meeting us before we arrived at the actual hotel unloading the car and then parking it for us! I highly recommend using their parking facilities! It is well with the price! "

"clean, ocean view, and great location"
