Hotel Continental Taormina, Hotel in Taormina, Sicily, Italy
Hotel Continental Taormina is a three-star hotel set in an 18th-century building in the heart of the old town, on Via Dionisio I. The rooms are simply furnished in a classic style and look out over Mount Etna, the Bay of Giardini Naxos, or the rooftops of the old town.
The building that houses the hotel dates to the 18th century and reflects the Sicilian architectural style of that period. Over time it was converted into a hotel, keeping much of its original character while adding modern comforts.
The hotel sits close to Taormina's main street, the Corso Umberto, where cafes, shops, and small squares shape the daily rhythm of the town. Walking the narrow alleys nearby gives a clear sense of how people live here: slowly, sociably, and always with coffee in hand.
The hotel is within walking distance of the main sights of the old town, including the Roman amphitheater and Palazzo San Demetrio. The train station and main bus routes are also easy to reach, making day trips around Sicily straightforward.
The hotel has a Sky Rooftop Bar on its top floor where you can see Mount Etna and the Bay of Naxos at the same time, a view that few spots in Taormina can offer from inside a building. The hotel also provides access to a small private beach area, which is unusual for a property located right in the old town center.
