My friend and I cannot speak highly enough about the Pensione and the super-helpful and friendly staff therein (especially Matteo, Luigi, and the lady with long dark hair). We stayed in a fantastic ocean-view room on the 4th floor with breathtaking views from the balcony for a week and cannot imagine a more fabulous hotel; especially for the price! We... More

My fiancee and I were already aware of the charms of this hotel. Our recent stay confirmed what we had heard and read about. Giusy Maria and Matteo made us feel welcome. In short, we had a home away from home. It's a pity that some of the public transport workers in Taormina are not as efficient as the team... More

We stayed 4 nights from the end of year to New Year day. People in Taormina get together in Piazza 9 April at midnight for countdown and celebrate New Year with sparkling wine and spectacular fireworks. In the afternoon, we enjoyed meals at the terrace of our room with great sea view (during the sun shining it's warm enough to... More

After some experience in travelling, I have decided that staying at family run hotels (in Italy) is definitely the best decision. My choice was once again rewarded with La Pensione Svizzera. It is well located only a few minutes from the central area of Taormina. The rooms are large and very comfortable. The hotel also has an interior lounge area,... More

We stayed for 3 nights in late December and loved it! Our room was spacious and clean with a fabulous view of the coast (and the football field which we enjoyed watching). We did not spring for a room with a view for our teenagers, and they were on the ground floor overlooking the street. It was fine for them,... More

That is, in my view the best way to describe this lovely hotel in Taormina Italy. Walk down a flight of stairs to enter and saunter up to the one person reception. They hand you a key on an old key ring and then it is pack your bags up the stairs to the room. Just to make a few... More

We stayed on the top floor for 2 nights at the end of September. The room was clean and spacious (by European standards), with a great view of the coast (facing North, i.e. not towards town/Etna). The breakfast was awesome, served on a nice terrasse overlooking the coast. Staff was very friendly. Although not in the heart of old town,... More

La Pensione Svizzera was the best choice we could have made, it is centrally located 5 mins walk from centre and 2 mins away from bus terminus. It is spotlessly clean, very generous buffet breakfast and very very helpful staff. They made our stay that much better. Thank you. More

Stayed at this beautiful property in Dec for 4 nights and wished that we could stay a bit longer. The hotel seems to be run by a very cohesive team who care to a great deal about their guests' comfort and satisfaction. The level of cleanliness and attention to detail is certainly unmatched and the best we've seen in all... More
