Family-friendly Hotels in Province of Messina

Looking at the stats on Trip Advisor it would appear that 75% of nearly 2000 reviews score highly, this review is in line with those. I cannot abide negativity and its repercussions. Just spent a hugely relaxing and warm 2 weeks at Caesar Palace. It is an older hotel and it has the character and quirkiness to go with it, so much better than many modern hotels without soul. Our room was on 3rd floor overlooking pool, excellent,  aircon was not noisy, room was not drab, bed linen was fine. Room always cleaned to good standard and left smelling fresh. We found food to be very good, amazing variety of fish,  pasta and risotto dishes,carpaccio,sundried tomatoes, marinated olives, Arancini and many Sicilian vegetable dishes. In 2 weeks we never queued for food even when busy, which was normally at 8pm, we eat at 7pm. Always found something nice to eat. Staff were very attentive, wine in Restaurant was freely available and we have no complaints. As for comments about feeding at trough,  that says more about the users than the providers. To the Bar, where we were brilliantly served by, Katerina, Serafina,Paolo and Rafaelo  amazing range of top shelf world renowned Italian liqueurs, and others, plus Absolut,Gordon's,Bacardi,Ballantines. Bottled red and white wine which was available in local Supermarket at €5-6 a bottle, bit more expensive than vinegar and a better taste by far , Prosecco and of course Moretti beer. We had a great time working out different drinks, some of which were new to the staff. We made use of the Sun Deck on 3rd floor of main block, nice and private with amazing views of Etna. The courtesy transport to beach has set timings and signs showing those are in numerous locations around hotel, not too hard to find. I have never seen,or heard, any advice that says beach is only a few minutes walk, research!! Most surprising for me is reading and laughing at negative comments and their origins. Here is a tip when reading reviews, never read the negative stuff if it is well in the minority, because that is what it is ‘ Minority’ Overall a very positive stay, enjoyed at all times, would stay again without question.

oh my oh my where to start? we were holidaying in early August and cancelled Cefalu as we do not like to be with hordes of people - Tusa got recommended and we are so glad we found this hotel. Make sure you pay extra for a sea view room they are totally worth it. Breakfast is on the top floor and also worth paying extra for. And we had the best dinner in Tusa in the hotel. For us it was the perfect choice. The room is big, clean, has everything that we need - the only thing that was not perfect is the fridge that was not cold enough. I cannot wait to return!!

We had a great stay at San Pietro. The hotel staff were very helpful and the hotel is in a perfect location. We loved eating breakfast every morning overlooking the sea. The lobby bar and patio were beautiful as well, and the perfect place to hang out and enjoy one of Christian’s excellent drinks, who is not only a great mixologist but also super friendly and taught us a lot about Sicily! We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Perched on a rocky promontory overlooking the Ionian Sea, San Domenico Palace, our iconic luxury hotel in Taormina, invites you to experience a reimagined 14th-century Sicilian convent. The hotel offers 111 exquisite accommodations, including 43 suites—some featuring private terraces and plunge pools. Enjoy a stunning 21-metre (69-foot) infinity pool that seems to merge with the sea, unwind in the Botanica Spa with five treatment rooms, or stroll through lush Italian gardens. Indulge in exclusive dining at two bars and three restaurants, one of which is Michelin-starred. It's the perfect escape into a Four Seasons world of timeless beauty.

I have been in this hotel for one week in July 2024. The check in was extremely fast and in few minutes we got the room. The room was large enough, very clean and with excellent air conditioning system. The personnel in the hotel at any level, from the reception to the restaurant, is very polite and collaborative. A special mention must be dedicated to the external part of the hotel, the swimming pool area and above all the beach. The hotel has very clean and very well maintained private beach. In few steps you are passing from the lobby to the beach. We spent an amazing week of holiday. Final positive point is that the hotel is two minutes walking distance from the bus terminal, that means it is extremely easy to get the bus to go to Taormina or Catania airport at very low cost. I will be for sure again in this hotel. Thank you very much

The hotel has been in existence for 119 years. The service is very good. The location of the hotel is also good. It is just at the entrance of the most prosperous area on the mountain. It is also close to the ”Internet celebrity” four seasons. It has an independent garden area and swimming pool. The price is very high. The room is clean The product quality is also very good. The only fly in the ointment is that the facilities and room types are slightly flawed, but as a century-old hotel, I am already very satisfied. Generally speaking, it is highly recommended!

Really best !!! I stayed in a suite apartment, the best view and the best room. I was able to cook and enjoy Taormina with the best ocean view. Even in the low season, even if there was no breakfast, they served freshly baked bread and juice of freshly grown oranges.

The hotel is located on the mountain of Taormina, with a good view. The style is the style of a European town. Although it looks old, it is very ceremonial. The hotel environment is very good, clean and hygienic

We are just back from our stay at the Ashbee Hotel in Taormina and we are already missing it. We loved everything about it - our great room, beautiful grounds with stunning views, great breakfasts and most of all wonderful people who work there. We especially want to mention Denise and Bruno who helped us with all our needs including our excursion and transfer booking and our very friendly and helpful barman Stefano. We can't wait to go there again.

Before I came here, I saw comments that the money was stolen and the problem of non-sea-view rooms. I was very anxious. I was worried about whether to cancel the reservation and change to another hotel. After I checked in, I found the hotel was good! First of all, I did n’t have anything stolen, including jewelry and cosmetics placed on the outside. Secondly, this hotel is mountain side, so you ca n’t avoid seeing the mountains and the sea. No matter which room you stay in, there is no 360-degree sea view Room, balcony view can refer to the picture below, I think the view is very good; in the end, in fact, there is no saying that the Chinese are arranged in a room with a poor view, because my left side (closer to the mountain side is disadvantageous) Location) Two people live in Italy. I live in the United States with Americans on the right. I threw my pajamas on the sofa before going out, and when I came back, I saw that they were neatly stacked on the bed. Haha, I felt very intimate at once ~ If I come to Taormina next time, I will definitely choose this hotel ， Because it has an excellent location, you can walk down to the Love Island and up to the left to the main road of the town, and there are all delicious restaurants around the hotel. It ’s almost ～ ️⚠ ： Ctrip's prepayment City tax is not included, and an additional tax of 3.5 Euro / night will be charged when checking out
