Location, location, location!

Friendly greeting by Carmen on arrival who enjoys a laugh! Perfect location to explore Taormina centre, 15 seconds to the main strip but still outside of the hustle and bustle. Great sized rooms and the staff are very accomodating. For couples, cheeky shower, for mother and son maybe not. Helped a lot to be able to park at the hotel and have the valet service.

We had a great stay at the Medousa Suites! The room was super clean, had everything we needed and the breakfast was perfect for what we wanted each morning. Loris was a pleasure to deal with and he helped enormously with anything we needed. We would definitely stay there again if we go back to Taormina!

What a wonderful place to stay. The staff were all lovely and Loris was especially helpful. Message in advance for instructions if you are driving - it’s simple enough but you need the instructions of where to bring your car. Paying for the hotel to take the car and park it was a great choice. Our suite was lovely and being so well located by the gates to the old town was just perfect

Cute property, right in the middle of taormina, pretty close to bars, restaurants and every attraction the city is known for. I didn't care for the room ( you can smell cigarettes from outside, from the restaurant patio and the shower is located in the middle of the room, soaking up floors). Loris the manager?was absolutely fantastic.
