Have just returned from a very enjoyable stay in this hotel . My husband , myself and our son aged 11 . We could not find anything negative to say about the hotel itself - lovely , bright , airy rooms with balconies overlooking the sea . Very friendly , helpful staff . Good variety of food with excellent service... more

The Caperena and Wellness Club is a luxurious beach side holiday hotel on the outskirts of Taormina near the Lido Mazzarò. We had some ill-founded concerns when selecting the Caparena from the holiday brochure having read some of the reviews on the web. We questioned who would want to stay at a hotel adjacent to a main trunk road, a... more

Upon arrival in Sicily while waiting for my luggage to arrive i was informed it had been left in London! Thankfully (so glad it ws mine phew!!) my girlfriends had arrived safe with us. So armed with only the clothes i travelled in we headed for the Hotel Caperana. My disgruntlment turned to joy when we arrived as the place... more

Taormina is beautiful ... Caparena hotel is OK, we had a very pleasant and spacious junior suite with a beautiful view of the sea. BUT ... the beach front and the hotel are trapped between a highway and railway tracks, so one does not have to worry about waking up, trains running between 6 and 8 am will perform the... more

My boyfriend and I booked a last minute holiday at the Hotel Caparena this year. We were advised to go to Sicily by our travel agent because there was a good mix of beaches and sightseeing. Sicily is a fantastic holiday destination with loads to do and glorious sunshine. Taormina is a great resort - a really pretty town which... more

That's because the old city of Taormina is perched on top of a hill, and this hotel here is down in... more

When we arrived at the hotel we were slightly disppointed with the location of the hotel. it was positioned on the beach (lovely) but was a taxi ride from Taormina, we were lucky as we had a car. We were advised that there was... more

Just got back from 8 nights at this lovely old but refurbished hotel. The pool was heaven. The roof rolls back and except for the day of the mistrals, was wide open till 6 pm. after that one can still swim and use the luxury wellness showers. As for the brioche.... I took the citrus treatment (covered in fruits) while... more

First off, I was a little unlucky in my timing. I arrived at the end of March and stayed the first week of April. The hotel had just opened its doors a few days earlier and that meant the beach was not ready for guests and was dirty the pool had not been heated ( we were able to use... more
