Water fountains have been gathering places for communities throughout the ages. While you're at Fountain of Orion, why not stop and chat to some of the locals and get to know the story behind this historic structure?

You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when visiting IV Circoscrizione. Fountain of Orion is an ideal place to begin here, but there are numerous other interesting spots to visit. Messina Bell Tower and Astronomical Clock, Cathedral of Messina, and Messina Fountain of Neptune are close to the historic water feature and will round out your day nicely.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (15 reviews)

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The room was very clean, spacious, and well-equipped with plenty of wardrobe space. I especially appreciated the small kitchen area — perfect if you want to cook your own meals. The hotel is also located in a quiet area, ideal for a peaceful and relaxing stay. Highly recommended!

9.2/10 Wonderful! (551 reviews)

Had an amazing stay at Hotel Continental! Located very close to the main shopping street/old town Taromina. Only criticism we had is the rooftop music was extremely loud and went on very late (well past midnight) which kept us awake sadly. Apart from that our stay was amazing but unfortunately the noise would put us off staying again!
