"Bel Soggiorno means “nice stay” in Italian, and for Hotel Bel Soggiorno, this is true but also an understatement. This is the most welcoming, pleasant, and beautiful place we have ever stayed. From the moment we arrived, we felt comfortable and taken care of. We arrived early but our room was ready within a few minutes and we were taken there by one of the friendly staff members. Our room opened to a terrace with a most lovely view of the sea and the hotel’s gardens below. We spent a lot of time just relaxing right there on the terrace, enjoying the view and taking in the peacefulness.
The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. What really sets this hotel apart, in additional to its prime location and the friendly staff, is the breakfast. Breakfast is included with the stay and is (without exaggeration) the best hotel breakfast we’ve ever had. A full spread of Sicilian foods, both sweet and savory, all homemade and all delicious. The breakfast area looks out to the sea, making the whole experience so memorable. Breakfast itself was an event to look forward to!
The man at the reception showed us a shortcut for getting into the center of town on foot (a beautiful walk that takes you right past the public garden!). The hotel is in a great location as it is quiet and looks out to the sea, but is also within walking distance to all the gems in the center of Taormina. We felt so comfortable and welcomed. We were sad to go and hope to return!
