We stayed in March and it was 25 degrees centigrade outside but there was no air conditioning available in the room. Despite their web site and information in the room to say they offer air conditioning. Like other reviews it is only available at limited times of the year, definitely not a 5 star service. We did get excellent service... more

We stayed here in April 2008. It is definitively NOT a 5* hotel. The only 5*-things about it is the ocean view and the price. The balconys are nice and spacious with great view, and the rooms are ok. (although absolutely no water pressure in the shower) BUT - the service of the hotel staff is less than average. When... more

We chose this hotel above other five stars in town as it is a relais and our experience of relais hotels to date is great. It did not let us down. We were looked after at all times with a polite and efficient service - quite formal. Hotel is quite traditional in style but has a pretty and quiet bar... more

There is little left to say about the San Pietro that other reviewers have not already said. A fantastic hotel - an oasis of peacefulness with excellent service and standards of all round cleanliness, decor etc etc. As other reviews state, food is on the pricey side - but when you are on the door step of the quaint Taormina... more

This hotel was listed in several travel books as top of the line and expensive, both of which were true, but well worth it. Definitely more of a couples hotel than family, although there were some kids. The hotel is quite beautiful and our balcony had a view of Giardini-Naxos Harbor and Mt. Etna. The grounds are well kept with... more

A beautiful hotel with friendly and helpful staff. It may not be the best for a family with young children, but is perfect for couples! the place is a little pricey in terms of the room service menu, but for a 5* hotel what do you expect The only 1 negative point I can say, was that there were no... more

We received a complimentary upgrade to the San Pietro after booking our honeymoon at the sister hotel - the Caparina - and finding it was simply awful on arrival. The San Pietro was complete luxury, an oasis of calm and tranquility with understated elegance. The hotel had a fabulous, well serviced, pool with beautiful views of Isola Bella and the... more

We drove to the hotel from the direction of Catania. Simply follow the winding road up the hill towards Taormina and the hotel cannot be missed, on the right hand side of the road. This is a first class hotel with all the trimmings. We found all the staff extremely helpful, and the rooms spotless. We were on honeymoon and... more

We, my husband and I, have just returned from a week staying Bed and Breakfast in a Junior Suite at this lovely hotel. Our room was very spacious and spotlessley clean, it had a huge comfy bed (the sheets were changed every day!). We had a large sunterrace / balcony which overlooked the hotel gardens and the sea. The hotel... more
