with the exception of 1 young female , the waiting staff were rude , indifferent , sneering and totally incompetent. As part of a group tour our evening menu had a choice of 2 dishes ; pork or ........dolphin stew!!!!!!!!!! the vegetables were even better!!!!!!! green beans [they were ok] and 1 small potato. Our room was nice , although... more

The bedroom was OK although the bathroom was small and smelt a bit funny. Bed was pretty uncomfortable - felt more like an IBIS than a 'four star' hotel. Balcony overlooked nothing of interest - although I would think some of the rooms at the front must have quite good views. It's in a reasonable location and the staff were... more

The Villa Esperia may not be the grandest 4-star hotel below Taormina but then it is cheaper than most. If you want a good base (near the beach and cable car) then you could do far worse. It was worth paying for the garage as parking is a nightmare. We found the staff full of smiles, the rooms and food... more

We had heard so much about Taormina but could not afford the hotels we really wanted to stay in. That is where the Villa Esperia came in and, considering the price, we would recommend it, though it is not for people with expectations of the highest standards of service or accommodation. Instead, it is nicely situated, has a pleasant pool,... more

Most balconies of this unpretentious family-hotel are too small to sit on but the large pool terrace and location near the beach easily make up for that. You can always walk the two minutes or so to the cable car if you want to explore the old town higher up. I think the hotel is more of a good 3*... more

My main issue with this hotel is the indifference of the staff. It's hit or miss, some are very helpful and courteous while others are quite indifferent and too annoyed to bother with you or your questions. The rooms are much too small and so are the showers. The balcony is too small which should have two chairs if you... more

I booked 1 room for 2 nights here... the photos a very deceiving on the intenet. Trust me the hotel is not that clean there. We were at the end of a great trip of Sicily and wanted to spend some time in Taormina before going home. When we went to our room the bedspread was filthy with stains I... more

The young owners have improved their smallish hotel considerably over the years. The architecture is far from spectacular but the location is good: just across a moderately busy road (but it stands back a bit) from the beach of Mazzaro and within 5 minutes walk of the cable car to Taormina itself. I found the staff pleasant and the rooms,... more

We thought the Villa Esperia to be very modern with clean well mantained rooms. The girls at the front desk were very helpful in all our requests, many times going beyond the call of duty. The buffet breakfast was typical European, cold meats and cheese with roles. The motel is in a good location. Overall a good experience more
