The most important from this property is the staff. Mr. Mario was always on top of everything, he is very professional on his duty. Super educated person and very kindly with my kids. His son was super friendly when we arrived late night too and super generous to help with the bags. The last on recepción very kind too and helpful to find me a spot to park calling from her cellphone. The staff for breakfast Ms Sylvia very kind and professional on her job, super friendly and attentive. Mateo also aware of everything. Very pleasant our stay here feels like home. 🏠

Cozy property just a few minute walk from the Main Street. Also next to the cable car which is a huge plus if you visit Isola Bella. Room had a small terrace and was clean and well appointed. Staff were friendly and helpful, giving a map and offering highlights. After check-in, they directed us to a lot right down the road- cash only upon exit but reasonable price. Nice breakfast spread, as well.

Had a lovely 4 night trip on my own. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Lovely breakfast buffet with views over water. Convenient location for bus station and a short walk up to historic town. I would stay here again. Only small thing to be aware of is the lifts in the building stop inbetween floors, so as long as you can carry your luggage up/down some steps you are fine to stay here.

The hotel was lovely with a gorgeous view and the location was perfect to walk into the main shopping and dining area. The staff was fantastic and took amazing care of us. They even gave us a bottle of prosecco when the found out it was our anniversary. They served a fantastic breakfast each day. The only issue was the metal shade that was supposed to roll down to block light from coming into the room was broken and we told the front desk clerk who was going to try to fix while we were out but was unable to. Because of that we were up at 630am each day due to the blinding light that came into the room. If you don't mind getting up that early on vacation it would not be an issue. Overall the room was nice and we greatly enjoyed our stay there.

FANTASTIC. Location was beautiful, both the hotel itself and the natural setting of Taormina and the gorgeous views of the Mediterranean. The breakfasts were superb --- the best we had in Italy by far. But the main reason for our great experience was the warm and friendly staff, led by the wonderful Antonella, as well as the kind and helpful Marco and Mario. Would only ever stay at the Pensione Svizzera in any future trips to Taormina. We truly hated to leave.

We would stay at this hotel again.

While I am sure the property has very nice units, our room was tired. Literally no view and noisy from the street. At 250 euros a night plus 25 euros a day for parking, we didn't feel we got a good value.
