This is a wonderful hotel, albeit imperfect. First the negatives - you can tell it was amazing when built and decorated, but that was thirty years ago... Now it looks faded, and although we really liked that, it wasn't as nice as more modern four star hotels. The walk to Taormina is not easy and there's no footpath to speak... more

We stayed here in June. My husband & I would have preferred to stay in the town but my son wanted to be by the beach. It ended up suiting all of us, we could sit on the beach during the day and take it easy, then go into the town in the evening which is very colourful. We ate... more

This is a beautiful hotel in a beautiful location We stayed two nights during a whistle stop tour of Sicily, and our aim was clear – to chill out. We could not have picked a better location. When shown to our room, the very friendly receptionist opened our bedroom curtain to reveal a stunning view out over a beautiful bay.... more

We just returned from a 12-day vacation in Sicily -- due to a snafu, we arrived in Taormina without reservations. There's a tourist help-desk in the center of town that called around and arranged for our 3-day stay at this hotel. This is a beach hotel, and is not in the center of Taormina. That was OK with us, especially... more

Although I wasn't keen on what I saw when making my way to our room, the carpet was worn and the place looked tired, I was suitably impressed with our room. As you went in there was a small hallway with bathroom off of it, which had a bath as well as an over the bath shower. Our room was... more

After staying in Catania for a few days, my husband & I decided to ditch our plans to go to Palermo, and instead headed to Taormina for some fun in the sun. We found a great deal at the Lido(May 18- 22, 2007) . The hotel exterior is filled by blooming bouganvillea & other gorgeous flowers. Our room was fairly... more

i was finding it very hard to get accomodation in Taormina so i took a chance with the Lido. I was actually expecting something a lot worse. the way i would describe this hotel is that about 10 years ago they put a lot of money into it and i would say at that time it was one of the... more

We stayed for 2 nights at the Lido in the first week of September. We absolutely loved it - it had a real ambience of (somewhat faded) 60s glamour. The private beach is lovely. The view from our balcony, the terrace right above the beach where breakfast is served and the beach itself is magnificent. As one reviewer pointed out... more

Once we had been booked in and escorted to our room by the friendly staff, we felt like we had been thrown back in time to to a bygone era when travel was glamourous and staying in a luxury hotel had special touches. This was uncommercial and unspoiled, delivering Sicily with an unhurried and relaxed charm. We loved the way... more
