me and my wife thoroughly enjoyed our stay, pool is very good as so are the sunloungers, the temp. of the water is fine , i mean you do want to get in to cool down, the views are great from pool area and balcony, although we asked to move to the top floor for better view and less road... more

Maybe after reading all the glowing reviews on Tripadvisor about the Hotel Villa Kristina, my expectations were just too high, so I have to say I found it disappointing. Firstly finding the place, if you have hired a car and are driving yourselves, is a challenge to say the least! The map the hotel sent was as good as useless... more

Great value family hotel. Friendly staff (with the exception of the breakfast girl who was, we hope, just having a bad week). Beautiful view of Etna from our balcony although not very private ( could have done with a screen on either side of us ). Relatively short walk to centre so long as you don't mind steps. Clean but... more

we booked this hotel because of the price and we were thrilled about all aspects of our stay. The breakfast was great, pool area clean and sun loungers comfortable. The bar and snacks very reasonable. Taormina is a beautiful place and we will be going back. more

This Hotel is in a great location with excellent views. The staff were very friendly and helpful but the rooms are really that of a 1 star hotel. Our en suite had no window and no extractor fan. The shower took approx 15 mins to heat up. The tiles were orange and brown and the toilet seat was orange! Our... more

We hired a car at Catania Airport and it is certainly advisable to use the motorway (very cheap), and to use a GPS (They can be rented). Sicilian drivers are surprisingly patient, but the roads are very busy in this part of Sicily and the roads in Toarmina are interesting, to say the least! There is a charge of 5... more

Hotel is clean and staff very helpful and polite. The snack bar and bar were closed during our stay which was a shame as we would have liked to have used these facilties and had booked the hotel thinking we could. The hotel is a long way up from the town, at least 100 steps to climb! You need to... more

Hotel situated in nice spot, about 300 yards from the main street in Taormina. Room had everything we needed, including a balcony overlooking the sea and Mount Etna and 3 English TV channels (always a bonus). Only downside was the shower, which was only a drain in the corner of the bathroom with a curtain around it, which meant that... more

The service was good and the staff was helpful. The hotel is however in need of some renovation since its a bit old on the inside. But everything worked fine and we have no complaints. The hotel should be avoided if you are looking for spacious rooms but then again most hotel rooms in Italy are not very big. more
