While the stunning views are the first thing to catch the eye at Hotel Excelsior Palace, guests will also love its friendly, helpful service and an enviable location, within easy strolling distance to Taormina.

Enjoying a fantastic location on a headland jutting into Taormina Bay, the hotel offers outstanding views of the sea, coast and rich green countryside, which quite simply must be seen to be believed. What’s more is that this hotel boasts one of the best locations in the area for those who want to be close to the energetic old town of Taormina. You can lazily stroll from the hotel’s door straight on to the start of the beautiful Corso Umberto that’s dotted with quaint, authentic Sicilian restaurants and exclusive boutiques.

Built in distinctively Moorish style, the hotel has 85 rooms which presented with classic, European-style opulence. The elegant restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor dining and you can choose from an excellent selection of international and regional Sicilian cuisine. You'll also find a carefully selected wine list, specialising in both Italian and regional wines and the desserts menu is especially irresistible.

The stroll down to the beautifully tucked away swimming pool may well be the highlight of your day, as you meander through beautifully well-kept gardens by a path that leads you to the poolside terrace. Here, you'll take in breathtaking views over Taormina and Naxos Bay, all the way across to Mount Etna. It is simply paradise! The poolside bar offers drinks and snacks so that if you feel like you don’t want to leave this little piece of paradise from one end of the day to the other, you won’t have to.
