Best Five Star Hotels in Taormina
Taormina is synonymous with luxury. Its spectacular clifftop spot has been much admired for centuries, and it’s been graced with elegant architecture - from its ancient amphitheatre, to its palazzos, and contemporary five star resorts. So it’s an all round beauty. Taormina is at its most glamorous in the summer, when clear days offer views up and down the coastline of Sicily, and across the bay to Mt. Etna, and glamorous folks come from far and wide to stroll the medieval main street, the Corso Umbertro I, and explore the boutique-lined streets; admire the galleries; imbibe in the lively cafes, bars and bistros, and fine dining restaurants; and relax on the scoops of sandy beach. Taormina also has a legacy of assets when it comes to luxurious accommodation, with carefully converted palazzos and mansions - perfect for a special occasion, or romantic visit, elegant townhouse boutique hotel conversions, and contemporary beach resorts. All of the five star hotels in Taormina are busiest during the summer season, when the light means the magical hours on the Corso extend, just like the views.
